Any good Brazilian Rodizio Restaurants in Zurich?

This might be a silly question since the cost of beef is sky-high in Switzerland, but does anyone know of a good Brazilian steakhouse in or around Zurich?

I miss the churrascaria we had back in Nottingham... Tropeiro was basically where meat lovers died and returned to for meat heaven

There's Rincao, but the reviews aren't good. Unsurprisingly, they mention high prices, poor quality meat and unwillingness to actually serve "a discretion". Which is hardly surprising, all-you-can-eat meat must be a surefire way to ruin a restaurant in Switzerland.

ETA it's currently #644 out of 664 Zurich restaurants on TripAdvisor...

+1. Overall bad customer service.

I went there for the first and last time earlier this year.

Yes, avoid the Rincao. Not a good experience.

Have a look at Brasil-Grill, a lot friendlyer and also cheaper (Rodizio is CHF 55.-).

For Brazilian Fastfood/Takeaway look for "Pastel Brasil" at Mattengasse.
