About the restaurant

Rodizio - the unique "all you can eat" in Dresden. Expierence how our Cortadores (modern Gauchos) slice different meat, from lamb, turkey, pork, brazilian sausage, chicken or beef, again and again on to your plate. Also includet are salad, dip's, baguette and sides like potatoes and different kinds of vegetables. A special thing is the grilled pineapple at the end. very delicious. Rodizio - "all you can eat" is always from Monday - Saturday starting from 17:00 o'clock.

If you prefer a classic steak you are also more than welcome. Additional to that we also offer dry aged Steaks, which are aged for 3 weeks in our aging fridge. An absolutly amazing steak, which we also offer is an irish Tomahawk. Perfect if you look for something special.

Also you find good drinks and a Cocktail Happy Hour from Monday to Saturday from 16-17 o'clock & 21-22 o'clock.
