You choose the rodízio
Once per person, you eat until you say stop. If you do not eat meat, there are grills and fish from the menu.
Albufeira · Estrada de Santa Eulália
The rodízio arrives at your table on the skewer, until you say stop
Picanha, cupim, alcatra and beef ribs over charcoal, carved at the table as often as you like — with rice, black beans, farofa and salad on the side. Every day, at lunch and dinner.

01 — The house
A corner bodega, with the bull on the roof
La Bodega is on Estrada de Santa Eulália, on the corner of the Oura Estrela building: a white three-storey house, a wooden terrace in the shade and the house bull up on the roof, watching the street go by.
Inside, the dining room is cool and air-conditioned; outside you eat in the open air, with barrels at the door and wooden tables in the shade. It is a Brazilian rodízio house with Portuguese cooking alongside — the same charcoal that does the picanha does the fish and the grills on the menu.
It serves lunch and dinner every day and takes bookings by phone.

02 — The rodízio
How you eat here
There is no menu for choosing a steak: skewers come round instead. The waiter comes to your table with the meat on the skewer, carves it in front of you and comes back whenever you want more.
The sides come separately
White rice, black beans, farofa, mixed salad, garlic bread and chips. Ask for more of whatever you like.
Dessert and coffee
The dessert list closes the meal — and plenty of people stay for the sangria and the grilled pineapple.
€20 – €28
per person, for the rodízio

Omg the food here is gorgeous. And not over priced either. We dined in other places and I thought they were delicious too, but here is better.
