I’ve been to two of the “Fogo de Chao’s” in the United States, mainly in southern California. This was probably going to be the “Michael Jordan” of Fogo’s & it was! First off the view of the beach, mountains and skyscrapers were awesome. I didn’t get seated outside because it was a cold night but from the inside looking out, it’s amazing. They start you off with the appetizers like the cheese bread which was extra delicious, fries, fried onions, & fried polenta. Excellent additions to your meats & the all you can eat salad bar was next level too. I ordered the max all you can eat & it was excellent. Lots of meat to choose from, leave your indicator to green and you’re off to eating. The meats were all very flavorful and excellent, it was really hard to pinpoint my favorite. I ended the night with their cake that had carmel inside with a side of vanilla ice cream topped with some berries. It was spectacular, I forgot the name of it. I highly recommend that one if you’re not already super full. Excellent view, amazing food & it’s in Brazil! I highly recommend This spot as the Best fogo and greatest all you can eat Buffett for me!

We've heard lots of recommendations about fogo de chao. We decided to go there on a Wednesday night and try it out. Overall experience was great. Salad bar had a lot of different salads, and gigantic palm hearts. They were perfect. The main waitor came up to us and offered the famous Rodizio. We've been promised 17 different kinds of meat. The beginner courses were nice, picania, hearts, sausages and more. After that we had absolutely delicious rump steak, the best I've had. The fillet mignon was way too cooked, so we had to ask for a new batch and it was pretty cooked as well. After some prime ribs and flank steak that were good, we got to the really good stuff... Lots of lamb and other pieces that were mouth watering. So I don't think we got to 17 different kinds of meat, but whatever we ate was damn good. So thank you fogo de chao for a great night!!!

No. This is not the best steakhouse in Rio. Absolutely NOT. And if you read the reviews carefully you can see that something is weird. The waiters literally beg you to write a review on the spot and putting their names in it. They extra bring you a barcode to scan. Annoying. Fogo de Chao is a huge steakhouse. The day we visited, Wednesday. It was very empty In one part of the restaurant were huge screens showing soccer. Not what i like in a fancy dinner place. Service was indeed attentive. Apart from 20-30 min when a huge group was served. At that time we didn’t get any meat at all. Meat was in general ok. Some was juicy and tender. Some was not as nice as expected. The picanha was rather chewy. The waiters didn’t really explain what they were serving. Maybe due to the language barrier. Weird in a place full of tourists. We expected more for the price. 210 BRL per person is too much. Also annoying that they added 13 % service. As in other places they only ask for 10 %. We will not be back. Rio Brasa and Palace are the better options for rodizio in Rio.

This is not an honest restaurant for tourists! Staff can speak very little English, there is a guy who can speak English who may be the head manager but not willing to help foreigners! What had happened was after I paid the bill and left the restaurant. I found out there is an extra margarita appeared on my bill,but in fact, i didnt drink any alcohol that night, then i rushed back to the restaurant, the manager at the begining unwillingly to refund the money back to me and said that he didn't charge me the service charge, I told him that why he didnt charge me the service charge because I found a moving alive insect crawling on the fruits that i had already ate parts of the fruits !!!! I took pictures of that insect! Such a terrible and rip off restaurant not recommending for any tourists at all! Also, this place has many beggers and vagabonds staying around the park, not safe for tourists, we got followed by a vagabond after leaving the restaurant

Em 3 de junho fui com minha esposa e uns amigos almoçar às 14h na unidade de Botafogo. Já os visitei algumas vezes, a última vez foi no ano passado. Fiquei estarrecido com o atendimento nesse sábado, nunca imaginei que na Fogo de Chão precisaria implorar para que os garçons nos servissem, ficávamos com os braços levantados em movimento e por vezes 5 minutos se passavam e ninguém vinha à mesa...aqueles que estavam com um uniforme diferenciado, azul escuro, ficavam olhando apenas para os garçons supervisionando a operação e não se atendo se houvesse alguma necessidade dos clientes, em dado momento solicitei que trocassem meu prato, mas outro não me foi entregue e um bom tempo depois tive que ir ao buffet pegar outro, um pequeno e bobo deslize, pode ser, mas não quando se paga R$ 2.100,00 para 5 pessoas...não é. Também tive que abrir minha cerveja, pois após implorar novamente para que alguém viesse abrir lembrei que tínhamos um chaveiro abridor de garrafas. Gente...implorar para ser atendido é um absurdo...mas tem mais, pedimos um tomahawk dry aged à parte e veio estragado, o cheiro estava forte mas nos foi entregue mesmo assim e obviamente nós ao provarmos identificamos que estava podre. Foi retirada da conta corretamente. Outra reclamação foi o que foi servido, o buffet de saladas tem poucas opções mas fui comer carne né, não fui comer nem salada nem feijoada, mas como adoro feijoada e tem a opção inclusive de ser servido apenas disso fui provar a tal feijoada, estava fria assim como o torresmo (que era lindo) mas também estava gelado o que tirou a crocância e o tornou intragável. Nada disso chega aos pés da pouca variedade de carnes...carnes como ancho e chorizzo só implorando e mesmo assim demorava 30 minutos para chegar à mesa (Não estava cheio o lugar). Foi tudo tão demorado que resolvemos encerrar o serviço mesmo não tendo acabado de almoçar e fomos para varanda tomar vinho e fumar uns charutos. Também foi péssimo, pois não havia ninguém para atender e mais uma vez tínhamos que levantar os braços como se estivéssemos nos afogando para que alguém dentro do salão nos visse e viessem tirar os pedidos de bebidas, contamos até com a resignação dos clientes que apontavam para nós para que alguém da equipe no salão olhasse. No final o único ponto positivo foi o pão de queijo (pois é)...até para retirar o carro foi ruim, ao entrarmos nele descobrimos que estavam ouvindo jogo de futebol nele, pois a rádio estava ligada no jogo do Botafogo em alto volume...enfim, para quem foi ao Barbacoa (SP) uma semana antes, que é 15 reais mais barato e entrega 300% melhor atendimento foi revoltante...impressionante decepção! Mandei esse texto por e-mail e pelo Instagram há dias mas como ninguém respondeu tive que expor aqui para que alguém veja e converse com a equipe. Um ótimo restaurante perdendo a mão desse jeito é triste demais...

This is a MUST in Rio. Let me start by saying we tried to go to the “hip” bar in the mall across the street and could not be seated. We came here, they allowed us to have a drink on the terrace overlooking the water, mountains and boat before we ate. The food was fabulous. The service next level. Jilson Garçon took excellent care of us and made sure our glasses never went dry. Pedro, with his capaharaina cart, made me fall in love with the cocktail when I swore off of it just hours before. The maître d’ Altariar (?), was so thoughtful. He watched over his restaurant like a hawk and makes sure no one misses a beat. We were skeptical about eating here while traveling since we have one at home, however, the experience was night and day. I cannot recommend it enough. A perfect first meal in Rio
