Visited with a large group of colleagues. The restaurant was busy to start and packed by the time we left. The service got slower the busier it was but did not detract from the atmosphere. The food just kept coming and was very good, from the range of plates they put on each table to the meats they bring around.... More

I have eaten in Porcao 3-4 times and it has been very good each time. There meats are excellent and salad selection is acceptable. Their desserts are also very good. You can always count on good food and drinks here. I felt like the better meats were being restricted a bit, but our complaint fixed that - may just have... More

Definitively a meat lovers paradise, this is perhaps the best rodizio in town, for sure the best option in this part of town. The service is great, the price is a bit steep but if you are hungry, it is worth it.

I've eaten at this restaurant for about 20 years. It's had, obviously, its ups and downs, but fortunately, this time it was on an up on what service was concerned. I had arrived earlier with my cousin only, waiting for the rest of the family (3 more), and we were immediately sat after we chose where we would like to... More

Wow, Brazil has got expensive since we were last there. We went to Porcao with friends, only because we didn't want to sit in traffic for hours to go to Fogo de Chao which is finally in Rio as well. The meat is excellent as always, but considering it is local meat, I don't know how they justify their prices.... More

Wanna have the Best Rodizio in town look for a Porcão, they have the bigger variety of meats, best cheese "pastels" as starters and also a good fried shrimp

When travelling to Brazil i have to have at least once that type of food. And we went there yesterday with colleagues. It was excellent, from A to Z. Not just the meat but the whole experience was great.
