La Hacienda De Machado
About
La Hacienda de Machado, situated just 100 metres from Vigo’s picturesque Samil beach, offers an authentic Brazilian steakhouse experience that blends the rugged flavours of the Rio Grande and the relaxed vibes of Galician hospitality. With 14 premium cuts of beef, pork, chicken and turkey, all marinated, seasoned with coarse salt and slowly grilled on an open‑air brazier, guests are invited to saviour a never‑ending feast of sizzling meats delivered by friendly staff. Beyond the carnivorous delights, the restaurant boasts a beautiful seaside terrace, exclusive private dining rooms, and a warm ambience that makes it perfect for family dinners, romantic evenings and lively corporate celebrations alike. Guests typically arrive to be greeted by the spirited service of Fernando Machado, the founder, who ensures each cut is presented at its peak flavour. The inclusion of original Brazilian accompaniments – bayberry sorbet, farofa, and charred pineapple – provide a colourful counterpoint to the robust meats. Many patrons commend the polished attention to detail, the efficient seating rotation, and the sheer variety of cuts available. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a hearty meal after a day by the sea, La Hacienda de Machado delivers a memorable culinary journey that showcases the best of Brazilian barbecue in the heart of Galicia.
