All-you-can-eat restaurants

There's also an extensive selection of Brazilian and Argentinian sides, ranging from salads, breads, cured meats, continental cheeses and hot dishes such as feijoada (a black bean and pork stew), all delivered to your table.
The wine list is impressive, but not included in the set dining price. It costs £39.90 for an evening meal, £24.40 on weekday lunchtimes and between £28.80-£39.90 for weekend or bank holiday lunches. Kids, vegetarians, vegans and pescetarians pay less - see the website for details.
