Britannia Restaurant

Recently tried this new Gaucho-​style steakhouse in Stockwell. Being an American, I have plenty of experience with Fogo De Chau, Texas De Brasil and also the more local places having lived in a Brazilian area of the States some time ago. The place was fairly busy (maybe 25 people there), but the location is quite large, so it still felt pretty empty. Like this kind of place — there is pretty much just one thing on the menu — all you can eat (there is a slightly cheaper vegetarian option). The salad bar was pretty eh; not like the amazing resplendent ones typical of a cruise ship that I’m used to. The meats itself were decent; they probably brought out 10 or so kinds of meat (different beef cuts, chicken wings, sauges, lamb, pineapple for desert etc). They also brought out garlic bread on a skewer, which was pretty funny. However, I’m used to the rapid fire approach of the US places where you almost have to beg them to stop serving you.
The food was decent for the promotional price (15 quid), although I’m not in a huge rush to go back and definitely not for 20 quid (the normal price)
Pros:
— Meat and lots of it
— Service was pretty good
Cons:
— Combination of dim lighting and meat makes you very tired. They could use to lighten up the place
— Salad bar was disappointing. Meat (although plentiful) was just ok
