Estabulo Rodizio Bar & Grill honour the Brazilian Gaúcho’s traditional method of cooking. This involves taking the most delicious and flavoursome cuts of meat, which are then skewered and cooked slowly on open flames.
This method of cooking also means that all the meat served to you fresh at your table, straight from the grill. You can eat as much or as little as you like, and we have a large selection of meats on offer, so you can stick to what you know or try something a little bit different!
We also have a selection of Vegetarian, Halal and Fish dishes on offer and the salad bar which is the perfect start to your meal, and accompanies our entire menu perfectly as little palate cleansers between each skewer that reaches your table.

Best visit we have had. The service was amazing, brought everything out in a good timely manner and when asking for specifics they made sure it was there asap. They brought my husband a slice of cake for his birthday unprompted after we asked for the bill which was a lovely touch. The food was cooked really well as well, lovely and rare. Great visit.

Booked a table for two and marked on the booking that it was a date. We were seated in the middle of lots of large, noisy tables, as the only table of two in that area. We literally couldn't hear ourselves talking. There were lots of empty tables in the other section of the restaurant where it was much quieter. We also had to ask several times for things and couldn't wait to get out of the restaurant once we had eaten.

I reserved a table for five at this restaurant, excited for a special occasion. We made a point to call ahead, as we traveled a considerable distance and arrived right at 3:30 PM. The ambiance of the restaurant was stunning, with its elegant decor and inviting atmosphere that promised a delightful experience. Initially, the service was satisfactory, and our waitress seemed attentive, but as time passed, it felt like we had been forgotten. It was a particularly special day, as we were celebrating a friend’s birthday. I had even left a note with our reservation request for a simple candle or a little something to make her day memorable. Regrettably, we were left empty-handed no candle, no acknowledgment of our celebration, while we listened to the joyous sounds of other tables singing "Happy Birthday" nearby. To add to our disappointment, we weren't even offered dessert, despite the sweet offerings on the menu. We waited for quite a while for our waitress, but she never came. Eventually, I stood up, saw one of the waiters, and asked for our check. After that, we decided to pay the bill and leave. Coming all the way from Harrogate, we had high hopes to enjoy the Leeds branch of this restaurant, but the lack of attention to detail left us feeling let down, especially considering the amount we spent. It was truly disheartening to feel overlooked on such a significant occasion.

This is a great place toeat at, the food is very tasty. The only downpoints are firstly, that it can take a very long time for some meat to come and sometimes they miss your table (we did have the halal option but it was beef that bypassed us afew times). So you can spend a long time waiting for a small sliver of meat. I guess its part of the way they earn their money, as you honestly sometimes get such a small amount its literally one small mouthful and you may wait 15 to 20 minutes for more. The second downpoint is that you cannot go in there expecting a certain cut of meat. We specifically hoped for some filet mignon and the lovely waiter did promise to send some around 3 times throughout our visit but none ever came.instead other cuts came multiple times, but i guess thats the luck of the draw as they probably wont have all cuts of meat out at the same times.

I booked a Table for ny Birthday, a Landmark one this Year, & brought my Best Friend (basically my Brother) & his Wife (an Estabulo Newbie). We arrived exceptionally early & were seated right away, that was the first thing that impressed me. The Wait Staff were all top-notch, always nearby and happy to accomodate requests (my Brother was waiting for the Ganmon and one of the Team brought it out to him specially), this is what I know I can expect at Estabulo, Leeds having visited quite a few times now. Lastly at the end of the Meal a piece of Cake with a Candle was brought out and I had "Happy Birthday" sung to me by the Restaurant which was very touching.

Service for drinks was terrible -had to physically find someone after 15 minutes to ask them to order our drinks and then waited another 10 mins . As it is a buffet this delayed our food as we were waiting for our drinks. We still paid the tip because the service from the people bringing the food was good but on reflection the lack of initial service was not acceptable
