Why Travelers Love Fogo de
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Wow, what an experience! One of my best dining experiences ever. First thing first -- the meat 🍖🥓 🥩 it is delicious 🤤!! Try everything brought to you, it's all so delicious, flavorful, and juicy. The Prime Rib especially is amazing and could not get enough of! The accompanying buffet is also full of yummy food and it's worth sampling some of everything ( but remember the meat is the highlight ✨). The service is also great, and the location is beautiful from inside to out. I enjoyed loitering after the meal on the back patio soaking in the view & wine. Just a warning though -- servers waking around with alcoholic drinks (e.g. Port wine) are not included in the buffet price. However, they're very good and recommend trying them. Highly recommend this place! One of the most famous churrascaria rodizio. With the strong name and reference locally and internationally. Great quality meat. With one of the best cut available in the market. Short ribs, beef ribs, the great pichana and ribeye. Great variety of meats that are presented. Tasty, good time intervals between the servings. Overall it was delicious. At the end the meat did get a little too salty for myself but add in some side dishes could have prevented that. Would recommend for a good experience

Very upmarket and I felt very underdressed but no one said anything. The food is fantastic and the view's from the decking is amazing, would be better on a clear day.
