Rio Brazilian Steakhouse partners with Edinburgh Trams

Edinburgh residents and visitors alike can soon experience the flavours of Brazil, as Rio Brazilian Steakhouse launches a pop-up in partnership with Edinburgh Trams. 

On Friday 4 October, the St Andrews Square tram stop will transform into a party destination as Rio takes over the platform. The team will be offering spin-to-win prizes including free dinners for two, complimentary cocktails and 50% off for diners who visit on the same day. Commuters and tram-goers can also enjoy live performances from samba dancers and authentic Brazilian music.

The ultimate prize

The restaurant will also run a city-wide competition to give guests the chance to win the ultimate prize – the Rio Black Card. The exclusive card offers the winner free dining at Rio Brazilian Steakhouse for a year. To enter, participants are asked to snap a photo of the Rio-branded tram making its way through the city, share the image on social media using the hashtag #TramToRio and tag both @rioedinburgh and @edinburghtrams to be entered into the prize draw. The winner will be announced on 31 October. 

The steak restaurant, located in the city's iconic Assembly Rooms, opened in the Scottish capital earlier this year, serving unlimited cuts of meat and a salad bar of authentic Brazilian food in traditional Rodizio style. 

"Since opening our doors in February, the city of Edinburgh has given us such a warm and enthusiastic welcome, and we wanted to find a way to give back to this incredible community," says Rodrigo Grassi Duarte, co-founder and managing director of the group. 

"We're thrilled to be partnering with Edinburgh Trams for this special pop-up event to bring the vibrant spirit of Brazil to the heart of the city with entertainment and the chance to win amazing prizes. This event is our way of saying 'thank you' to Edinburgh for embracing us and making Rio Brazilian Steakhouse a part of their dining experience."
