RIO Brazilian Steakhouse to open in Edinburgh this February
The opening will be the restaurant’s first venue north of the border, bringing its non-stop meats concept to Scotland with a set price boasting an alternative to other steakhouses in the city
RIO Brazilian Steakhouse has announced it will open a new location in Edinburgh on Friday 9 February 2024.
The Brazilian Steakhouse offering an authentic Brazilian Churrasco dining experience will open its doors on George Street, within the historic Assembly Rooms building in a 150-cover space formerly home to Jamie’s Italian.
From early February, RIO will welcome guests to enjoy cuts of meat carved tableside in a traditional Rodizio style, while watching chefs prepare authentic dishes from a central sushi bar, with an unlimited salad bar lining the walls with an array of imported cheeses, meats and Brazilian flavours for diners to choose from.
The opening will be the restaurant’s first venue north of the border, bringing its non-stop meats concept to Scotland with a set price boasting an alternative to other steakhouses in the city.
The expansion follows RIO’s success in England, marking the 8th location since the brand was established. Founded in Jesmond in November 2019, the Edinburgh site adds to its current locations in Jesmond, Newcastle’s Quayside, Middlesbrough, Durham City Centre, Warrington, Chester and York.
Rodrigo Grassi, co-owner of RIO Brazilian Steakhouse, said: “It’s an exciting moment for us to announce RIO’s arrival into Edinburgh on the 9th of February, bringing our unique concept to Scotland for the first time. We look forward to welcoming our first guests through the doors in a month’s time in true Brazilian fashion, with plenty of good food, drink, and celebration!”
