Fogo de Chão
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Fogo de Chão does rodízio the way it's meant to be done: meat on a skewer, a table full of people, and the confidence of forty-five years of knowing what works.
The Jardins outpost sits on Rua Augusta in São Paulo's Cerqueira César neighbourhood, part of a churrascaria that started in 1979 and has stayed true to the form ever since. Rodízio-style service means the meat keeps coming until you've had enough — which, if you're doing it right, takes a while. It's a straightforward proposition: skilled cooks, quality beef, and the kind of meal that doesn't need explaining.
