A new family-run restaurant has opened in Watford paying homage to the owners’ Brazilian heritage.
Rio Grande Steak House in Vicarage Road experienced a “good atmosphere” during its first week after it launched on Friday, June 9.
Ana Langame, who works at the restaurant and is the daughter of one of the owners, said: “It was really busy last Saturday and Sunday and we have had people from all different backgrounds come to visit. It’s been a good atmosphere.”
The family used to live in Brazil and wanted to bring some Brazilian flavours to the restaurant.
Ana said: “This is food that I have eaten ever since I was a child.

“It’s family recipes from grandmas passed down to the mums.
“The food has always been with us.”
She added: “This place is for everyone.
“If you haven’t tried Brazilian food before, I would say come in and see what it’s like.”
The restaurant moved into the building that was once home to the popular Domenic’s Café.
