Rio to launch in Edinburgh next year
Rio’s menu will feature a variety of exquisite cuts of meat, continuously carved at the table in a traditional Rodizio style
Brazilian Steakhouse brand Rio has announced that it will be launching a new venue in Edinburgh, Scotland, its first Scottish restaurant.
Located in the Assembly Rooms on George Street, Rio brings its non-stop meats concept, unlimited gourmet salad bar and authentic Brazilian Churrasco dining experience.
The expansion comes following 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.
The 150-cover restaurant will open late daily and guests can watch chefs prepare authentic dishes from the central sushi bar.
Rio’s menu will feature a variety of exquisite cuts of meat, continuously carved at the table in a traditional Rodizio style.
Rodrigo Grassi, co-owner of Rio, said: “We are thrilled to announce that RIO Brazilian Steakhouse will be opening in Scotland for the first time early next year. A milestone moment for us, we can’t wait to bring the delicious South American flavours to Edinburgh – one of the UK’s most exciting foodie cities – and look forward to introducing our unique offerings to the Scottish market.”
