Rodizios are extremely popular establishments where a fixed price is charged and unlimited courses are served at the table with no additional charges - drinks, coffee, and desserts are usually charged separately. Rodizios are truly loved in Rio, and even regular restaurants may convert to rodizios for the week-end: in fact, several well established high-end restaurants now offer rodizios during lunch hours.

Typical rodizio offerings include pizza, appetizers, pasta, and meat. In touristy areas such as Ipanema and Copacabana rodizios of sushi are now increasingly available. Rodizios can range from very affordable and simple diners to very expensive and posh restaurants.
