This Brazilian steakhouse serves gorgeous food and provides a unique dining experience. It has plenty of scrumptious meat options, from the honey pork to the filet mignon. But there’s also a wide range of vegan and vegetarian options that are just as splendid too, such as the spinach, blue cheese and pumpkin risotto. If you want friendly and helpful service with delightful food for a special South American experience, then the Fazenda Rodizio will not disappoint!
Bem Brasil is a famous Brazilian chain with a restaurant in Liverpool and another in Deansgate, Manchester. The Deansgate restaurant has been visited by famous Brazilian twins and former Manchester United players, Rafael and Fabio, so the Northern Quarter joint has a lot to live up to! Come here for picanha (rump steak), maminha (steak and cheese) or alcatra (rump steak), plus other meat dishes and plenty of delicious salads. All this Brazilian food is gorgeous!
Situated by Parsonage Gardens in Deansgate, Gaucho is an Argentinian steak and wine restaurant situated in a converted church. Incredibly, it even has a massive church organ inside the restaurant! It’s lavish and has a gob-smackingly beautifully large room. Cool things on offer, which makes it a must visit (other than the steak, of course), is the open kitchen and the DJ-hosted brunches called ‘Electro Brunches’! It’s an impressive place that well deserves a visit.
This vibrant Peruvian restaurant in the centre of town (located in the Cotton Factory) and brainchild of the boutique hospitality consultancy, Miam Miam Glou Glou is a must visit. It serves delicious Uruguayan wet aged steaks and all the food served has sustainability and the environment in mind. For example, the menu is heavily inspired by peri-urban agriculture in Lima. From ceviche (raw diced fish in lime juices and spices) to environmentally-friendly plant-based dishes, such as beetroot and apple ceviche and green papaya salad, Peru Perdu will serve you scrumptious food and provide a colourful experience.
