We were visiting Leeds for the weekend as our son has just started Uni there and he wanted to go somewhere 'special ' so we decided on Fazenda. Having spent much time in South America, we 've eaten at several Rodizio Churrascaria types of restaurant and love the selection of meats being brought to your table. Fazenda is located in the trendy Granary Wharf, below the arches of Leeds Station, the River Aire and the Leeds Liverpool Canal. It 's a very lively place with several bars, restaurants and a very modern Doubletree by Hilton Hotel. IT 's great to see the canal boats moored up for the night just opposite and top walk across the lock gates. Getting there is very easy we took an Uber and F...
We used to come here quite frequently before Covid but some how got out of the habit of going into the city centre. Whilst the 'mess ' with the road network being created by the council meant we had to get a taxi rather than drive, we were keen to return here. We were pleased to see that the salad bar had returned as I understand it was removed during restrictions and not re-instated for some time. A few improvements have been introduced including the ability to order side dishes. In the past we did not always receive chips as we were bypassed but this is overcome by the ordering system which is great. As always the service was good, although the servers only seemed to acknowledge our reques...
I’m a massive fan of Fazenda, but this visit really disappointed us. As the most upmarket Rodizio experience available, we’ve always been excited to take the trip from our home of Derby to Leeds to experience the opulence of the Fazenda Experience. Unfortunately, it’s now become both expensive for what it is, and in our opinion taking liberties with customers. £48.50 for a Saturday evening per person is now extortionate especially as all you get is Beef. We asked numerous times for other cuts of meat and did manage to get a slice of the Lamb rump as a last ditch attempt after asking for something else other than the numerous cuts of Beef which basically taste the same. Whilst the menu boasts...
We have had great experiences here before but what a let down our most recent visit was. Many of the staff came across as rushed and not really interested in providing a good experience. The usual defence is but it was really busy , but as a Service Director I know that is never an acceptable excuse. While the salad bar and sides remain good, the meats on this visit felt to be quite poor, with a lot of spoil and gristle. I pushed aside about half the meat I was served, which was really disappointing. The cocktails, too, felt uninspired, and were served in small glasses. To cap a wonderful evening, when we asked for the dessert menus, somebody kindly told us they wanted the table back in 20 m...

Returned after a long absence. Excellent as ever. Went at lunchtime but just as good as in the evening and a bit cheaper. Addition of sides gives you even more of an excuse to overindulge. Felt quite ill from overeating when we got home. But in a good way. Wife agreed that it is something to do twice a year at most so as to do it justice. Staff were amazing and even comped us dessert as it was our anniversary. It’s a YES from me! Wholeheartedly recommend.
The meat here has always been to die for, lots of choice cooked exactly how you prefer. Cap of Runp is always my favourite but the honeyed pork ran it a close second. Definitely one of the best buffets around, massive choice of cold dishes to-order hot ones. Service this time was a step above our previous visits; led by the wonderful Aleni, it was attentive without being obsequious, our glasses were never empty. This is a wonderful place.
Went here with family to celebrate my nephews 16th birthday. I was blown away by the quality of the meat served, it was cooked to perfection (for me) really tender and not dry. Staff were fabulous and very friendly. Salad bar was excellent with large selection. I had Dulce de Leche Coulant for dessert, very nice but for me I'd have liked it a little sweeter. Will definitely be visiting this restaurant again.
Had a lovely lunch here staff were very friendly great choice on the buffet kept asking what meat we would like next and we would like it to be cooked Will certainly be going back
