Copacabanna Rodizio Bar & Grill

Visited today and was really disappointed with complete lack of understanding of foods available and suitable for coeliacs. Gluten free options are advertised but the staff we encountered were oblivious as to what I could have and the dietary ingredients/allergens in the foods they were serving. Definitely not recommended for coeliacs!!! The staff did not have a clue.

What a fantastic restuarant. The other reviews are clearly competitors trying to drag the place down. We attended here on Saturday 16th December for our work night out. We where greeted by a very friendly waitress who showed us to our table after giving it a wipe over and pushed 2 tables together for us. The menus quickly followed along with an explanation of how the menu works. Drink orders quickly followed and where brought out promptly. The hot food and salad bar was fantastic, plenty of fresh salad and hot food, the curry & mushrooms where amazing! We also had someone in our party who has Coeliac and the waitress was very good and aware of what meats she couldn't eat and what was safe on the salad/hot food bar. She also double checked on the chips as well for us. Unfortunately, the Stella lager was off and had bits in, this was dealt with promptly with a big apology! It happens so no issue at all. The meats soon came out once we all had a plate and flowed at a steady pace. Out of the 14 meats on the menu, we had 12 of them served to our table followed by Pineapple. The waiters carving the meats where very friendly and enjoyed their job! The meats where top quality and they would cook it to order, so some of us liked it a little pinker than others they would cook it well done and come back. All very tasty and tender! All of my staff commented on how much they enjoyed the meal and the restaurant. Compared to other restaurants of similar style in the area Copacabana, is the most reasonably priced. Drinks where not badly priced either. Overall, we had such a fantastic time and I would most certainly go back and recommend to others! Big thanks to all of the staff!
