Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse Ellerslie

My husband and I took his daughter here along with some other family members to celebrate her graduation from university. She had eaten at this restaurant before but we had not. I have celiac disease, require all food to be gluten free and am very afraid of cross contamination. There is only a select few “safe” restaurants I will eat at on a special occasions and this is now one I will add to my list! I was aware ahead of time of the food selection thanks to the website clearly listing their menu and dietary restrictions, however our server was VERY helpful and lovely. All items at the salad bar and hot table were clearly labeled with gluten, dairy, nuts, etc. and our server had fresh gluten free cheese buns brought out to me that had not sat next to the other regular bread to reduce risk of cross contamination (although both breads did not touch on the table). Our party of five (except me) ate every type of meat there was and we all agreed that the grilled pineapple was simply the best ! I don’t eat a lot of meat and the salad bar selection was excellent along with an order of shrimp. The servers were all friendly, prompt and clearly hard working. Our bill was steep but well worth it. The quality of food and drink is evident. We cannot wait to eat here again. Thank you for the excellent experience.

Raquel was such a fantastic server for my first experience at Pampa!! She was also so knowledgeable about gluten free dishes and I felt very comfortable eating there as a celiac person!! I will definitely be back!!
