What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Casa da Picanha Penedo is lauded for its exceptional meat quality, particularly the Picanha, and generous portions at reasonable prices. Diners consistently praise the friendly and efficient service, and the relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. While the steak and churrasco offerings are a major draw, some reviews suggest that the all-you-can-eat fondue experience, particularly the side dishes and sauces, may not meet the same high standards as their grilled meats.

"This is an excellent place for meat lovers (churrasco style). The food is really good. The menu offers a wide range of dishes. The speciality here is cow, lamb, and angus cattle. They also offer fondue dishes (meat, cheese and chocolate). The prices are reasonable, and the amount of food served to customers is plenty. We ordered, for starters, lamb sausage stuffed with cheese, and, for mains, a picanha dish with egg farofa. It was perfect. Service was very good, as well as beers: ice cold and locally crafted. We did not have desert this time, but they looked quite nice. The ambience was relaxed and calm, and no pre booked reservations was required. Tables are usually taken on a first arrivals basis. It's a place not go be missed, for sure, and they're open all year round. Happy with the experience.
Fondue Experience
Returned to this restaurant on another night just to try the all-you-can-eat fondue. It was a completely different experience. The meat served on the fondue order was varied, as well as everything else. The problem was the quality of their products - not the meat, which is really good indeed. The low quality regarded the side dishes and the sauces. Most of the sauces were not home made, and they tasted like cheap ones. As for the bread, in the cheese fondue, it was awful. We complained about the bread - still it did not taste good all together. The lack of the ideal bread made the experience worse. In terms of service and environment, it was awesome. The staff was happy to assist us, and the environment of the place did not change in relation to our previous visit. The problem in fact was the quality of the food, which is a huge downside. Not recommended, the fondue experience."
