I honestly loved this place so much. The concept is so cool you pay $75 and it’s basically all-you-can-eat. There’s a big selection of sides and salads, and then servers walk around with different kinds of meat on large skewers and slice it прямо onto your plate. You choose what you want and how much, and they just keep coming. Everything was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. You can literally eat as much as you want, and it feels like such a fun experience, not just dinner. The atmosphere was amazing very lively and welcoming. I definitely recommend everyone try it at least once.

Amazing experience from start to finish. The meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked, constantly served fresh and hot. Staff were friendly, attentive, and quick. Great atmosphere with a classy feel. Worth every dollar and I’ll definitely be back again soon!

The Rodízio experience at El Gaucho is genuinely impressive — the meat quality is outstanding and the all-you-can-eat format is fun and well-executed. The Picanha and Rib Eye are absolutely worth it, and the service was attentive. That said, I want to leave an honest note for groups with mixed dietary needs, because this is something no other review mentions. The menu is built almost entirely around beef and pork cuts — no fish, no seafood, and the only poultry option is chicken hearts and wings as part of the Rodizio rotation. There is no à la carte option whatsoever — meaning you cannot simply order a chicken dish, a single cut, or a regular plate if the full Rodizio format doesn’t work for you. It’s the full experience at $75 per person, or nothing. Our group of three included a guest who doesn’t eat red meat but does eat chicken and fish — a very common dietary preference. There was nothing suitable for her. The restaurant did not charge her for the Rodizio, which was fair — but she still had to sit through the entire dinner with nothing to eat while the rest of us were served. That is an uncomfortable experience for everyone at the table. A simple chicken or fish plate option, or at minimum a clear warning on the website, would make a big difference for future guests. Bottom line: if your whole group eats red meat and wants a full feast, come without hesitation — you will love it. But if even one person in your group has dietary restrictions or simply doesn’t eat red meat, plan accordingly or choose a different restaurant. 4/5 — Exceptional meat, but a rigid format that doesn’t work for everyone.

We had a great time at Gaucho. The variety of meats was excellent—our favorites were the ribeye and sirloin. The kids loved the chicken stroganoff and açaí salad. We usually order the beef platter at the Calgary branch, but we tried the buffet this time and we’re glad we did. Mr. Eugene was very helpful, and the staff were all friendly. Definitely, we’ll comeback!

They offer both an all-you-can-eat option and an à la carte menu. The restaurant is very flexible and happy to accommodate customizations as needed. They can also cater to dairy-free and gluten-free dietary requirements. The food was fresh and flavorful, and they serve authentic Brazilian cheese bread (Pão de Queijo), which was especially fresh and delicious. The servers were excellent, friendly, and attentive, and they also speak Portuguese.
