Warmly welcomed by the staff and given a choice of tables.
Our waitress explained how the restaurant works and then took our drinks order.
We first tried the Salad and Sides bar which was extensive and had some very tasty dishes.
Then the meat stared coming and kept coming. The servers were happy to bring the various cuts of meat cooked to our preferences. Once we had sampled everything the servers we happy to bring our preferred selections again and again.
The salad and sides bar was regularly checked band refurbished with fresh item which added to the excellent food experience.
We were there on a Sunday lunchtime visit and although it was not overly busy there was a nice friendly feeling to the place.
Not the cheapest lunch in town but definitely a must if you love your meat.
Will visit again.
We came here for a friend's stag night since it was his favourite restaurant and I can see why! The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, and the meats they brought out were incredible. No matter how you like your meat cooked, there is something for everyone here with every type of meat. I personally prefer my meat blue/rare/medium-rare and I enjoyed my meal thoroughly, though one of the people I was with liked their meat medium/medium-well/well-done and they also enjoyed cuts from different places on the same piece of meat.
For the price, you actually get your money's worth considering the (also decent) sides are unlimited in a self-serve buffet and you can also have as much meat as you want when they bring it to your table, and you can ask them to bring around stuff you've already had if you liked it at no extra cost. Be prepared to eat a LOT if you come here!
Great service with very friendly and helpful staff. Ordered the old fashioned and the wait is worth it, gorgeous smoky flavour. The sides are a nice addition but you go here for the meat. All is cooked well but the flank steak and gammon really stood out for flavour. Chicken hearts available for the adventurous but the texture is just too much. At the end leave dessert and have more meat.
Very happy with service.Staff very friendly .Went without booking on a Saturday night and after short wait got a table.Food amazing. Great place to eat .will definitely be back .
Book if you want a space on a Sunday. Free dessert and free food for under tens make this a family friendly experience. The salad bar was underwhelming however the pork bean stew was tasty. Friendly staff and lots of meat. Some a bit fatty but mostly a fun a novel experience.
If you have ever read any other SFR review you will be aware that we are big fans of Steak, well most meats really, well actually all food I guess. So to me the idea of a place that gives you unlimited meat is like the idea of National Treasure Susan Boyle singing Mull of Kintyre at the opening of the Commonwealth Games, great in theory but it's all about the execution. If the meat is off and runs out half way through the first verse, sorry I mean course, then obviously that's going to be an issue. Viva Brazil, however, had no such problems.
Went to Viva Brazil on a Saturday afternoon. Table was booked and it is definitely recommended to do this as it was busy. As soon as you walk in to the restaurant you are welcomed by the smell of the food on offer and is fantastic. The service was good start to finish with the right level of attentiveness not to be intrusive. After getting salad and other sides from the buffet you are served various meats (up to 15 types) including steak, chicken, pork, etc with different flavourings until you are full, indicated by using a red and green card on the table. I personally loved the food; who would have thought Parmesan and pork go so when together?? I recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves meet and variety. The experience overall was brilliant and can't wait to go back.
Good food. The place is fair, I liked the salad bar, the meat itself is not to my style but was to my dining partners. He likes grills and barbecued food where I prefere curries and stews. The staff were very friendly and the place was immaculate.
I had an amazing night at Viva Brazil – the food is delicious, particularly the meat and the service was fantastic. The staff are always nearby and they’re so attentive. I’m really excited to go back and do it all again. Next time I will only change one thing: I will pace myself.
Amazing dishes, great staff and lovely atmosphere. What more could you ask for? I recently took my father for his birthday and it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone willing to try something new
Saw the afternoon promotion £10 steak and decided to give it a try. I’m happy to say that the food is well cooked and of good quality. Service was attentive and helpful. We did pay for the peppercorn sauce which was divine!
Definitely will be back to try their Brazilian free flow meats and salad bar.
Visited Viva Brazil in June 2023. Actually pleasant experience. I had never been to a Viva Brazil restaurant before so was all new. Staff were every kind and friendly. Basically you can get the Vegetables, salad etc from the buffet area. Once seated if you leave the card they give you green facing up the staff will continually come round with different Meat for you to try including Chicken Hearts, gammon, steak, lamb and the roasted pinapple was also really nice. I wish I took more photos but too busy filling my face. The different meats were excellent and very much enjoyed trying all the different ones on offer. The restaurant was smart and nicely decorated. Would definately return again
An oldie but a goodie! Visited on a Sunday afternoon, it was fairly quiet. The buffet was filled with really tasty side dishes from risotto to mashed potatoes to cured meats. It's easy to fill up on that and end up missing out on all the meats! You have a red and green card on your table to show when you want more meat or when you want to stop. They bring round different meats on large skewers. Plenty of it. This time we had a lot of the same meat, rump steak. Would have been nice to try more variety. However, they brought round garlic bread and cinnamon pineapple! Delicious. The servers were all friendly and polite. Special mention to Thomaz, he was really knowledgeable about the food and how they cook it etc. He was also training another member of staff at the time. Couldn't have been more helpful!
They offer vegetarian and vegan options. If you want to ask for your meats well-done they will happily oblige! Absolutely loved it. Will definitely be back!
Went to Viva for a birthday dinner and was blown away by the stunning, clean restaurant, the incredible wide array of Brazilian dishes in the buffet and of course the meats. Outstanding friendly service from Patricia, Katy and the rest of the crew. Viva¡
Starting from walking through the door you are greeted with the smell of bbq and the warm host from the staff, we opted for the full Rodizio which is eat till you drop.
If you have never been here and want to try a concept of dining that is truly unique then look no further....
10/10 every time

Absolutely stunning service and food. I ordered the halloumi steak and it was mouthwatering, perfectly crispy on the outside, and juicy and soft on the inside. When it came to the table it smelled absolutely wonderful, served on a bed of thinly sliced baby potatoes which were godly! My family thought all of the meat was very flavourful and perfectly cooked. They absolutely loved the lamb (which they don't usually anywhere else) and said they hadn't had anything that tasted as good in a while and they go out for food quite often.
The servers also came round with grilled cinnamon pineapple, and garlic bread. Which was suitable for me as I'm vegetarian and can I stress how good it was!! absolutely delicious. Left everyone at the table asking for some pineapple again.
The service was so lovely, they were extremely patient with us as we weren't sure how everything worked at first and explained everything until we were confident. It was also very fast and we were not left waiting at all.
Special thanks to Vini, who was soo sweet and helpful.
This is the most delicious and well cooked food we have had in a while. Unique service and money well spent. Despite being pricey it was definitely worth it for a treat.
Thank you so much :) will definitely return.
Great customer service from the moment you walk through the door.
The whole staff are there to make sure you enjoy yourselves to the full.
And then there's the food.
Just stunning.
One mouthful of flavour followed by another.
It just keeps coming.
Looking forward to going back.
Thanks
