Charcoal steakhouse & grill

Southampton's charcoal steakhouse

Proper cuts over an open charcoal fire: 16oz picanha, T-bone, South American rib eye and rump, seared hard and rested right. If you want a steakhouse in Southampton that grills over real flame, pull up a chair.

Cuts worth the fire

From the 16oz picanha, the Brazilian-Portuguese hero cut, to a 16oz T-bone, a South American rib eye and a rump steak, all seared over live charcoal for a proper crust.

Charcoal, never a flat top

Every steak hits the same open charcoal fire as our chicken and ribs. That is where the smoke, the char and the flavour come from, and it is why we do not use a gas griddle.

A steakhouse with Portuguese soul

Sharing platters, piri piri, chorizo and a proper bar. A steakhouse and a Portuguese grill in one, and Southampton's #1 rated restaurant on TripAdvisor.

Word of mouth

Southampton's favourite grill

As close as real Portuguese food as you can get. Simply delicious and a great cure for the homesickness feeling. Workers super helpful, and the food is just perfect.

Good to know

Your questions, answered

Where is the best steakhouse in Southampton?

Diego's Rotisserie on Bedford Place. We grill picanha, T-bone, rib eye and rump over open charcoal, and we are Southampton's #1 rated restaurant on TripAdvisor.

What steaks do you serve?

16oz Picanha na Chapa, 16oz T-bone, 10oz South American rib eye and 10oz rump steak, plus the Bitoque and the Mixed Parrilla. Each is grilled over charcoal and served with a side.

What is picanha?

Picanha is the prized Brazilian-Portuguese rump cap, seared hard on the chapa so the fat cap crisps. Our 16oz is a house favourite, and the 32oz is made to share.

Do you grill your steaks over charcoal?

Yes. Every steak is cooked over the same live charcoal fire as our rotisserie chicken and ribs, never a gas flat top, which is where the char and smoke come from.
