Fogo de Chão Brasília — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Distrito Federal

I have been to several Fogo de Chão in São Paulo where the restaurants are maintained better. The location in Brasília could use aesthetic updates and a very deep cleaning. The bathroom is scented with a powdery fragrance however the floor and sinks had a filmy sheen of dirt and cleaning products all over. The floors in dining areas need a deep clean or to be refinished. The merit awards displayed on the wall of the stairs are all outdated by over 5 years and made me think that show past glories and have none recently. The can contract me to consult them on these improvements and others unmentioned here!

The food is good which is most important. We opted for the salad and feijoada bar plus one meat option which is one of budget conscious offers on the menu. The meat is VERY salty so anyone controlling sodium intake should avoid taking the outer slices of the service cut. Everything on the salad bar was fresh and delicious. They don’t label what the salads are so there are some surprises of what ingredients are coated In mayonnaise. 😊. The feijoada was a little cold and very wet, I personally prefer the liquid to be reduced to thicken it.

The beer selection could be better (and colder) but they offer the basic Pilsen and Lager beers on tap.

Service was professional but most of the staff looked exhausted, except the seating hostess at the door whose energy was welcoming...

FdC is one the places, where you can be assured to get the original Churrascaria experience in consistent HQ. Boi was melhor, perfeito, otima and that goes for all the different carvings I had; seven or eight and who counts! Cordeira - as is in these parts of the world - was very distinct and if you're picky with the taste of lamb (not into the "wool-thing"), you should eat something else. The drinks were also unique: The two Caipirinhas I had, were distinctly different!! Make sure to chose Cachasa, not some mundane Rum! The self-service side dishes are exorbitant with an abundance of choices and all in high quality. Fresh and tasty salads and vegetables, well cooked if that's the choice "al dente" when required, and the pickled stuff also tasty and well prepared and - seasoned. And be warned there are some very hot servings and also some exotic ones with very different tastes, from what a European would be used to. And that goes for ALL of Europe! Somewhat overpriced, they lacked the logistics to oversee the guests are offered all carvings from the grill. Admittedly not an easy task, though and the service was very attentive and forthcoming without being pushy, so in all @ BRL250, I found it prudent to tip 50. Highly recommendable...

Very unhappy hour!! Most ridiculous happy hour policy ever!! We went to Fogo Du Chao during their happy hour, 5-8 pm, and ordered drinks and food. The food took quite awhile to arrive and we were not in a hurry. We asked for our check around 8:30 and noticed that everything on the bill was charged at regular prices. When we asked the bartender about the price difference he left to get clarification. Upon his return we were informed that the manager said since we were checking out after happy hour was over, we had to pay full price. I have never heard of such ridiculousness!! Everything we ordered was during their assigned happy hours but since the food delivery was slow, and we waited to finish our meal before paying they did not honor the happy hour prices. I am sure the manager is wrong about this policy but we had no choice but to pay the higher amount. We will eat at Churrasquinho Parque Cuirdade...
