Brazilians are the original masters of celebration, which is deeply rooted in their traditional family gatherings for churrasco feasts.

With its vibrant, welcoming atmosphere and exceptional Brazilian cuisine and hospitality, Fogo de Chão is the destination perfectly suited to accommodate celebrations of all sizes and occasions.

Fogo de Chão offers guests a wide variety of simply seasoned meats that are carefully fire-roasted to expose their natural flavors. Additionally, they offer a gourmet Market Table & Feijoada Bar, which includes seasonal salads, soup, fresh vegetables, feijoada (traditional black bean stew with rice, fresh orange and yucca flour), and much more. Southern Brazilian side dishes such as pão de queijo (warm cheese bread), crispy hot polenta, and caramelized bananas are served family style. To further complement the dining experience, the restaurant offers an award-winning wine list, tempting dessert menu, and creative and classic cocktails. Guests can also choose between lighter seafood selections, or enjoy the gourmet Market Table only option.
