Obrigado Rodizio Plan de Campagne, Brazilian restaurant in Plan de Campagne, Les Pennes-Mirabeau, France.
Obrigado Rodizio Plan de Campagne is a Brazilian rodizio restaurant inside the Plan de Campagne shopping center, in Les Pennes-Mirabeau, south of Marseille. Servers carry large skewers of grilled meat from table to table and carve portions directly onto each guest's plate, alongside a self-serve buffet of side dishes.
The rodizio format grew out of the cattle-herding culture of southern Brazil, where meat was cooked over open fires and eaten as it came off the grill. Restaurants later adopted this approach and, through the late 20th century, it spread to many countries outside Brazil.
The rodizio tradition comes from southern Brazil, where gauchos developed a way of grilling and serving large cuts of meat on skewers around an open fire. At the table, servers still carry the skewers and slice directly onto the plate, keeping that original gesture alive.
The restaurant sits inside the Plan de Campagne shopping center, which is easy to reach by car with ample parking nearby. Since the rodizio format is an ongoing meal rather than a fixed menu, plan to spend a good amount of time at the table.
Most rodizio tables have a small two-sided marker, green on one side and red on the other, that guests flip to tell servers whether to keep bringing meat or to pause. It is a simple tool, but first-time visitors often miss it and end up with far more on their plate than expected.
