Fogo de Chão

Overview

Fogo de Chão is a Brazilian chain of churrascarias, or steakhouses, founded in 1979 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The restaurant specializes in the traditional gaucho method of churrasco, which involves fire-roasting high-quality meats over an open flame. The founders, who grew up in Brazil's Serra Gaúcha region, opened their first restaurant to share this culinary heritage. The company expanded to the U.S. in 1997 and has since grown to approximately 76 locations worldwide, including 59 in the United States.

The dining experience features continuous tableside service, with Gaucho chefs carving skewers of freshly grilled meats at the table. The all-you-can-eat menu includes up to 16 types of meats, accompanied by a market table of salads and traditional Brazilian sides. The restaurant provides a casual and immersive atmosphere, reflecting rich culinary traditions and a commitment to high-quality food preparation.
