I sent my friends to this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the cooking is fantastic and the stuff is generous and cooperative. always when we go to this place we have a pleasant evening. I recommend this place with pleasure..
Meat Eater, this is the place for you!
Really love this place. Excellent quality of meat and priced accordingly. The decor is immaculate and service is friendly without being intrusive. Well worth a visit.
Not bad! The place is really nice and the teste of the food is beyond average but it’s not the one of the greatest. It was alright! very recommended.
Friendly welcome, neat restaurant, lovely meat!
There are a few Rodizios in Manchester but this is one of the best. I particularly like the 'oven tray' dishes like slow cooked ribs and herb-encrusted potato wedges.
The steak was really good quality and well-seasoned - their local competition, Bem Brasil tends to over-season its meat, leaving an aftermath of extreme thirst or a day of garlic!
Good job Fazenda, we will see you soon :)
i would recommend the lunch buffet as it was really good quality food. It was better tasting than at Bem Brasil and was a gourmet food experience.
It's been a while since we last popped in here. From seating us to drinks & starters the service was flowing smoothly. Once it was time to plate up for yourself, it was a bit of a lottery at times waiting to see what meat came out of the kitchen. At one point we almost felt like our table was being skipped.
However, whenever we were seen too, the cuts of meat were heavenly. Hot, spicy and when you drizzle a little of the delicious chimichurri sauce on it, the taste experience takes you to new heights.
Customer service was impeccable and overall a very positive dining experience. Not the most friendliest on the wallet but it is a well earned feast and you do get your moneys worth.
Thanks Fazenda.
Visited Sunday night. Had been drawn to Spinningfields for the live music which was great and decided to sit outside at the restaurant to listen to the music in comfort! Asked for some advise on a bottle of Malbec and ended up with a good bottle reasonably priced. We decided to eat here for convenience and to enjoy the wine with some good steak. The meat was very good and you could have as much as you wanted along with the salad at the buffet bar. Despite it being good quality I can't help feeling it was a bit of a glorified buffet and at the best part of £30 each left me a little underwhelmed.
I've been to this Resteraunt twice in three weeks. Both times were lovely. The first time was for a meal with work colleagues on a Friday evening and there was around 20 people. The second time was with family on a Thursday lunch for four people. Both times the food was amazing and the atmosphere was nice. It's defiantly more lively on weekend evenings. For lunch time it was a nice chilled out atmosphere. 10/10 for the staff who were welcoming and friendly. I'm vegetarian and there is plenty to choose from both with the salad bar and vegetarian options on the menu. Will defiantly go again!!

Booking the monthly girly night we had originally planned to visit Bembrasil. However after reading Mark B review he has said he wouldn have rated it higher if he had not attended Fazenda. Looking at the website I thought it was worth spending that extra fiver as it looked swisher.
Using the websites booking system it was very simple to pick out slot for 19:30. On arrival there was a reception desk who immediately acknowledged us and a waitress who I felt had been waiting for us led us immediately to a comfy leather booth.
The waiter who served us for the rest of the evening queried whether we has been before. When we all shook our heads he explained that after helping ourselves to the salad bar we would simply flip this carded disk to green when we wanted meat and red to stop. After choosing a fazenda cocktail and malbec we waited for our drinks before we set off.
The booth was stunning we were walled in by bottles of wine . In front lay the well presented salad bar and the lighting in general made it feel eloquent.
Browsing the salad bar made me happy it consisted of various cheeses, sushi, stuffed peppers, dolmas, asparagus, stir fry, mushroom and other rices, roast potatoes, pork stews, prawns in mango, whitebait, chorizo and many others . Basically it wasn't your average salad bar it was creative and hard not to go mad with it.
Sitting down with our catch we flipped the disk to green and let the meat commence. The service was so frequent and attentive there were no gaps on waiting for meat when it was set to green. We had beef skirt, pork belly, chicken hearts (thought I would give it a go!) Rib eye steak and various other cuts of meat cooked to my standard I.e rare. However my friend was a well done person so the waiters would cut bits from different parts to ensure this.
After devouring some minted lamb the waiter asked if there were anything else on the meat menu that we had not tried. Spying the chicken and bacon, black pudding and Gammon with pineapple we selected these.
What I noticed is that they do have a veggie option of pumpkin and goats cheese risotto and gnocchi. They also offered tuna steak for pescaterians.
To finish I chose a light sorbet consisting of raspberry, scoop of mango and a third scoop of lemon and lime.
Overall I could not fault the service so we agreed to the service charge. The ambiance was great and the food. For £32.60 A head I would say it's worth it. I would suggest it's good for groups and couples.

I have been to their location several times in Liverpool and it is one of my favorite rodizios anywhere. For those not familiar with rodizios, they bring as much meat as you would like to the table on skewers from the kitchen.
Why Fazenda stands out is the meat is medium rare to rare (you can also order more well done), and I hate overcooked beef. I love their garlic steak, the fillet here and lamb. They also have a great salad bar, including sushi, a nice selection of cheeses and charcuterie, and a nice sesame seasoned quail egg.
So why only four stars. First, it was very warm inside, uncomfortably warm. Not sure if it was intentional so people would not stay too long but it definitely detracted from the meal. Second, while the meat selection is good, it was very inconsistent. I was swamped when I started, probably five servers in three minutes. I tried to be careful and not over-indulge (too quickly) but then had to wait about 20 minutes for more food. I noticed this happened at a few table, again not sure if it is intentional or not. I also never was offered the fillet again.
Food is good but the service and temperature need a little work for them to regain the fifth star I awarded Liverpool.
Probably the best Brazilian steak house in all of England! Friendly staff, great steaks, and fast service

WOW! Just WOW!
(Before I continue, if you are reading this review and probably read just beginning bit, remember to check in on Facebook or Google+ to get a free cocktail. Its the Brazilian cocktail, cairpirinhas).
I had been wanting to come to Fazenda ever since it opened but for some reason it had taken till this week to finally go. Most of us arrived before our booking so had a drink outside - although unfortunately the drinks for some took awhile to come and actually arrived just as we we got up to go inside (to go to our table).
This was the 1st time inside Fazenda and I really like the interior of it. Very cool, stylish. We walked through most of the restaurant as we were in a private room towards the back. We didn't book a private room. Made us feel more exclusive! (And the added benefit is that it was a bit quieter).
I had been to a Brazilian BBQ a couple times before so knew what it was about. Salad bar with various pasta, rices, salads etc. Fazenda's salad bar also included a small selection of sushi. (I only managed to go to the salad bar once - at the start - because I didn't want to fill up on salad/rice etc and leave no room for meat!)
We sat at our table and after a minute, we were given a complimentary "sharing starter" which was breaded prawns and dough balls - tasted good. However, we were there for the "main event" #meat.
Since it was an evening, we would get the choice of 15 different meats. If you don't know, waiters come round with basically chunks of meat which are carved off right in front of you.
I am very much a meat-eater and big fan of steak so was really looking forward to basically a conveyor belt of meat coming to our table!
You also get unlimited fries. While eating, someone comes round every now and then with some lovely fries.
I was also kind of looking forward to trying the chicken heart. Never had before but interested to see what it tasted like.
I think we missed out on a couple things which were in menu e.g. black pudding but had plenty. Some things twice. Some things 3 times. We had:
Sirloin
Gammon (with pineapple)
Chicken thigh
Sausage
Fillet
Lamb
Chicken with bacon
Garlic Rump
Cap of rump
Lamb chop
Chicken heart
Rib Eye
Rump tail
Skirt
Pork Belly
Overall it was all so good!!
I was a BIG fan of the gammon - as was everyone else on the table. Great flavour, so tender. The sirloin was great too - not usually my favourite cut but this was tender and I think had bit more marbling that normal. It was the 1st couple "dishes" so that may have a factor as towards the end, I was very full so things like the pork belly were not as good - was bit dry.
The chicken heart was a little odd. It of course tasted like chicken but with a slight offal taste. Now I don't mind offal e.g. liver, kidney but, as it says on the menu, its an acquired taste.
Also, my favourite cut rib eye was maybe a touch dry but that could be because by then, I was so full! Happy, but full!
For drink, as well as the cairpirinhas I mentioned right at the start - which was lovely, I also had a beer and also a flight of 3 different red wines. To be honest, I am not really a red wine fine but thought would give them a try and also they apparently "go with" red meat.
For dessert, I just had a couple scoops of ice cream. In hindsight I should have just had a single scoop, if any at all.
If you come here, come with a BIG appetite - maybe just a light lunch! And maybe wear some pregnancy pants ala Joey from Friends. Also, be prepared for the meat sweats and the meat coma when you get home.
The service was brilliant and really friendly and they did whatever possible to make sure you had the perfect night. From the "meat servers", the guys taking drinks orders and our main waitress, Helena, who was excellent.
What more could you want, endless supply of meat, drinks, lovely restaurant, excellent service!!
We were browsing around Manchester and found this place!
It's so different! We need this restaurant in a Dublin!
We went there for a drink but the manager Pavel (I think that was his name) walk us around the restaurant!
The design and lighting is incredible. Iam an interior architect and I can let you know this is a great place, well deserve 5 out of 5!
Haven't try food but it looks great: concept is - coming, paying, taking food from salad bar(smoked salmon, salads,rice,vegetables), sitting, (you will have chip on the table one side red other green ), they will bring you meat as soon as you putting token green side up, and stop when it's red! Pretty cool idea! And so on until you are really full!
So starve for a couple of days and go to Fazenda and enjoy lots of great food! Dinner about 31 £ per person and lunch 17,50 £ until 5 pm.
When I'll be back I'll go and eat in this place!
I'm not massively sure how it took me so long to hit this place but based on this experience it's somewhere I'll constantly be hitting in the future!
Here's the best bits:
* 'salad bar' is just incredible - we're taking veges, salads, ceviche, sushi, salsa, prawns - just loads of food that tastes incredibly fresh and super yum.
* All you can eat meat, whenever you want it - all cooked to perfection and brought to you.
* At £29.95 per head at dinner time (cheaper at lunch) it's great value for money.
*Incredible desserts (cost extra)
* Drinks prices are reasonable and there's some very cost effective bottles of wine and the craft beer range is unique and cool from South America.
* Really lovely and efficient staff - these guys rock.
* Lovely surroundings
Overall a really easy decision to award them 5 stars.
Amazing, spectacular, outstanding.
A simple idea turned into a sophisticated and thoroughly enjoyable dining experience!
The 'Rodizio Grill' type of restaurant isn't anything new - they've been around for a while and most modern cities have 1 or 2 options for you to choose from. Manchester obviously has Bem Brazil, which is great also, but it's just not a patch on Fazenda.
Ok so you a little bit more, it's £30 a head, but the variety of meats, the options at the salad bar and the standard of the service is brilliant.
After our Yelp event here recently, I couldn't wait to get back and enjoy it again so when Jonny suggested Fazenda for a dinner with a few colleagues I couldn't say yes quick enough!
The meats as always, fantastic, the salad and cheeses to start were great and the desserts were some of the best I've ever had.
As you can tell, I'm a fan.

Hmmm.......what can I add?
Quite a lot really. I'm not really a meat eater but I wouldn't call myself a veggie either so here I sit kind of in the middle.
Came here in a large group so we got a private room which was beautiful. The whole restaurant is beautiful, the lighting is beautiful, the staff are beautiful, the ambience is beautiful, the options for non meat eaters not so beautiful! Basically you can have haddock and pea risotto or something with coriander in it. I saw the word coriander and my heart sank to my uncomfortable shoes.
Coriander is heinous! Coriander is the devil! I hate Coriander! You can take the worlds supply of coriander and burn it to ashes, I wouldn't care. Coriander should be used as slow punishment to get confessions out of people etc etc etc. I don't care for Coriander. If coriander was my friend I'd block it's number and disown it.
You see where I'm coming from? I'm not so keen on coriander!
So I got the haddock and pea risotto......it's very fishy and haddocky. Not really my thing so I was glad of the beautiful buffet choice. There's quite a lot to fill up on here, you def won't go hungry but as a none meat eater you kind of miss the theatrics of the waiters bringing skewers of 15 different types of meat to add to your buffet meal.
The meat was well cooked so it seems and everyone was holding out for the lamb. Not for me but they seemed to love it.
The veggie option includes a choice of dessert so I got the vanilla and toffee ice cream which I have to say was intensely beautiful, so much so that I had to give some of it away to those meat munchers who insisted on staring at me and it with their mouths open as dessert wasn't in their list of options on the meat menu.
......ha, unlucky!!!!!!!!!
I paid £30 for essentially vegetables and ice-cream, I'm not mad but it was the most I've paid for a plate of refillable sides so I'm dropping a star purely for the lack of choice for non meat eaters and I would have preferred the water without half a cucumber in it. But still giving four because the buffet is refillable, the dessert was beautiful, the waiters attentive and the surroundings were incredible.
If you leave hungry, it's your own fault! You meat feasters won't be disappointed.
Wow! What a restaurant! And I can't believe it's taken me this long to get to try Fazenda.
The concept it really cool and similar to that of Bem Brazil.
I took my plate to the salad bar (which does so much more than your standard salad) and filled up on meat accompaniments such as spicy Spanish potatoes, creamy mushrooms, asparagus and rice.
The main event is very impressive - sword wielding waiters approach your table and slice off the amazingly succulent and freshly cooked pieces of meat on to your plate. And they don't stop, until you change your beermat-style token over to show the red side - meaning 'STOP GIVING ME FOOD'
Every piece of meet i tried was excellent. So juicy and tender! I was a very happy girl entering the biggest meat coma ever by the time I left

The first time I popped into Fazenda a few months back I was struck by how pleasant and non-snooty the host was, despite this restaurant being really quite fancy. Having now encountered probably about a dozen other staff members I would say the same goes for all of them, they are probably the nicest service team working in Manchester today.
The only slight blip in service came at the outset on the comfortable outdoor terrace where I was surprised the server didn't know what I meant by the hibiscus cocktail (there's only one, hibisco is in the name) or what the guest ale was. Perhaps people mainly order wine? Anyway the cocktail was great when it turned up, as were the cairpirinhas we got free because we checked in on facebook. The bar snacks actually look really good - a bit more interesting than average (e.g. a feijoada pastry), I'd like to go back soon and sample them.
We were lucky to be assigned a private room at the back, it's perfect for 6 - 8 people and like the rest of the restaurant is a beautiful, dark and elegant surrounding.
We started off with the salad bar. It looks like a great selection, I confined myself mainly to stuffed vine leaves and peas with bacon (srsly why were those not in my life before) although also had a quick taste of the sushi (not bad, not sure it's raw).
Obviously the main event was the meat and I think we sampled everything
Winners: sirloin (probably the best I've ever had), gammon (again probably the best ever, it was particularly tender)
Honourable mention: garlic rump (some of this was dry but the bit that wasn't was sensational), chicken hearts, skirt, fillet, pork belly
Also ran (deliciiously): lamb, chicken wrapped in bacon, chicken thighs, sausage
We had a little flight of wine with dinner - 3 glasses of 50ml. I thought this was a great idea, as it's affordable £7.90 and gives you a chance to sample some wines you might not otherwise choose.
Dessert wise, I am a fan of having a cocktail instead. Fazenda has specific dessert cocktails, and we (me and Emily, my sharing buddy) loved the espresso martini and strawberry cheesecake.
Can't wait to go back!
The service is outstanding, the atmosphere is great, but we had a part of about 10 men next to us which were a bit load, but there is nothing you can do about that. The salad bar is amazing, and when the staff comes out with the meat on the skewers, the meat is fantastic! It's expensive but always worth it if you have not been before. I would have given 5 stars but there is always room for improvement I don't know where here though! Well done guys brilliant!
Tried last night for the first time having been ben Brazil in the past. This place is almost luxury. Interior is well designed and fabulous. Service was great and the staff very friendly. Steak was amazing with all the different flavours and was well worth it. It comes with a price but so does everything that is excellent. Definitely will return here in the future.
Fantastic Food, eat as much as you like! Nice selection of grilled meat, side orders and a market table of cheese, fish, sauces and bread. Friendly service from the staff who we’re always on hand to help. A little pricey but it’s in the heart of Manchester. Great atmosphere and provided us with a free birthday chocolate cake!
This place is one of the best in Manchester by far (provided you are a meat lover).
The service is always impeccable.
Dont like the way something is cooked? They will go and make some to your liking.
The sides are almost as good as the meats.
Kids under 8 eat free which includes complimentary dessert is just an extra bonus.
The decor is lovely.
Can't reccomended it enough.
Forgot to take a picture until the end of my meal, so apologies!
A fine dining all you can eat experience in spinning fields.
Downside (as with everything in spinning field) there's no direct parking for the restaurant but theres paid parking scattered around near which is costly £6.50 for 2 hours / £9 for 3 hours.
The service is great, very friendly and attentive staff (there is a 10% service charge added to the bill though).
Meats are of good quality and frequent, the starter buffet is very high quality and this goes for the sides. The buffet and sides are much better than competitors but the meats I'd say are on par.
I'd recommend visiting but it is on the pricey side so you take someone whose a big eater as £50 a head for food only may not be worth it for some.
Fazenda deserves a 5 star review. From the food to the service to the atmosphere. You don’t have to order starters, there is a buffet option for starters. But not all starters are in the selection. The steak is great I highly recommend this place for events like birthdays dinner, anniversary and others
Dined here today, the service was absolutely amazing, nothing was too much trouble for the kind waiters. Very fast service and lovely tasting food. Absolutely amazing, would recommend!
This is a meat lover must try place! Great salad bar with seafood and cheese. 2 side dishes per person. Simple but chic decoration, service was nice apart from we asked 3 times for the ice cubes. Highly recommend rosemary lamb and all beef. Sausage was too salty. £210 for 3 people without alcohol. Would definitely come back.

Wow is all I can say...The service here was exceptional, the food was delicious and they had a massive selection on the sides (which get brought to your table) as well as the buffet section which had cheeses, salads, meats, fish and breads. The only down side to the buffet were the mini naan breads, they could do with being thinner.
The staff bringing the meats were great and you never waited long if your card was on green.
I also mentioned it was my husbands birthday and they brought out a small cake and candle which was just perfect💙
We thought this place was pretty upmarket (maybe not great for children) from the images online but after our visit we would recommend visiting with children which we will be doing very soon😃 Yes it is upmarket but safe, spacious and really inviting.
They add a service charge to your bill and also a charity donation but both are optional and they did ask us if we would like to remove them when we paid. We did keep them on as we were blown away with the service.
Thank you so much😃
I booked this for my son and daughter in law as a treat for his birthday. I booked 48 hours in advance and asked for halal meat options and to prepay for the meal. The staff dealt with my requests via email promptly and offered a small cake to celebrate his birthday and confirmed the booking and that the halal meat would be provided. They enjoyed their meal and desserts and service that was provided was very good except for one waitress. There was plenty of variety with the sides/salad and good selection of desserts. They went on a Thursday evening so it wasn't too busy.
Edit:
I came with my family for my own Fazenda experience last week. We booked in advance again for halal meat. We came on a Tuesday evening and it was quite busy and good atmosphere. Staff looked after us very well and there's a good selection of sides from the menu and also a large salad bar. The wagyu beef sausage and meats were very tasty. We were too full for desserts but there is a dessert menu.
