I had heard about Fogo de Chao but never been. On a recent trip to São Paulo I thought I'd give it a go. Since it's a chain I expected it would reasonably good. I was surprise - pleasantly surprised!! The food was excellent. My favorite cuts were the lamb (big juicy cuts) and the rump steak - all super... More

Eating at a traditional "rodizio" in Brasil is a must. This is one of the outstanding restaurant. You get a card with red and green colour on each side. As long as you have the green side visible the waiters stop at your table offering different types of meat. If you want to pause, turn the card to the red... More

Fantastic service, great buffet, and excellent choice of meat. For the uninitiated, there is also sufficient literature on hand on the different cuts of meat being served to you. We only went to 2-3 churrascarias in Brazil, but this one was definitely the best among the ones we sampled. The top sirloin is to die for...

My favorite churrascaria in São Paulo. Lots of type of meats, good buffet of starters. Prepare yourself for a hectic experience: you are invaded by lots of servers, each with a different meat. When you are full, you put the red light for a break and then you can go green and start again till you like. Do not exagerate... More

I was taken to this restaurant by my Brazilian coworkers because they wanted to show the San Diego office a good time. Our night started with a table loaded with sausage, chicken hearts, bread, banana, and some sort of polenta dish. We filled our plates at the salad bar and returned to our table. It wasn't long before a server... More

Since my maiden voyage to FDC a few years ago I come back at least once a year and in between I have been to a few of the restaurants in the US of A. It remains my favorite chain, with the Sao Paolo restauarant my all time favorite. My wife is vegetarian but, the salad bar offers an unparallelled... More

As you would expect from the world renowned Brazilian dinning experience. The selection of beef, lamb and other fine cuts is outstanding. The salad bar will please you.

Tried Churascarria before, was much better. This is overpriced, buffet it OK, wine menu is OK, still the meat is average.
