In a paragraph

Rio Brazilian Steakhouse is the Newgate Street rodizio restaurant in Chester for carved meats, salad bar, cocktails, groups, birthdays, lunch and dinner.

What it's like

Rio is the Newgate Street rodizio steakhouse: salad bar, sides and a steady procession of carved meats until the table starts making strategic decisions. The point is variety, pace and appetite.

Carved meat by the round

It is strongest for birthdays, groups and hungry people who want the format as much as the food. It is weaker for light eaters, quiet dates and anyone who wants a small precise plate with no performance attached.

Worth knowing

Rio is easy to recommend when the brief is feed people generously and make the meal feel like an event. It is not the best answer for quiet dining, small appetites or anyone hoping the salad bar is the moral centre of the evening.
