Fogo Brazilian BBQ - Cipete — Restaurant in Jakarta

Written on Jul 31, 2024.

Part of a eatery center with a couple of other restaurants in the building. The place is serviced by Mikrotrans JakLingko Jak.95 and local angkot route S11. Apart from the parking space in front of the building, there's a more space-y parking lot in the basement.

An all-you-can-eat restaurant specializing in grilled meat dishes. Choose one of several meal packages, in which each packages has its own selections of meat. Of course, the cheap one has less selections than the more expensive ones. They use a gimmick of servers slicing chunks of meat skewered on a sword at the table.

They'll time you for 90 mins. in which you can ask for as many meat sides you'd like and can handle within the selected package, as well as the main courses and snacks at the buffet. In order to have the meat served, you need to ask the servers, or, you can call one of them who's in "patrol" with the meat sword.

At the buffet, there are condiment/ sauce station, the buffet with snacks and main courses such as rice, noodle, or potatoes, and also an ice cream machine. The best way to enjoy the servings here is to prepare the sauces, first. Then, you can proceed to the buffet. The ice cream machine is better to be used last.

For beverage, there are only two sweet options which is included to the package: sweet tea and lemon tea. Both options come with ice. If you want to get a healthier mineral water, you'll have to pay extra.

If you have high blood pressure or cholesterol level, I'd suggest you to bring...

been here last night. we didn’t make reservation before, but the place is quite spacious so we don’t need to wait. there was free popcorn besides the cashier but the staff did not offer this complementary.

the food selections in the buffet were boring, none of them worth to try. the grill ribs were “burnt” and fatty. they provide bakso and soto betawi which I think not suitable with the main dish aka the meat. sadly, none of the sauce selections were tasty🥲

the meat itself is so so, it is served in medium. I must say all of the meat were cold and tasteless (even the ice tea!), thank God the sirloin was juicy enough to enjoy. too bad we couldn’t finish the meat (and we’re ready to pay the penalty).

things to be appreciated is the staff serve the well done meat when requested. this came in separate plate, sliced, hot-warm, and has better taste than other meat because they did seasoned it separately. we also enjoy their chocolate pudding and garden salad.

we don’t think we will come ever again as we had stomachache afterwards 🙂 anyway thank you, hope you can consider this review and enhance your...

The atmosphere's place was quite good and nice. I didn't have an issue. Unfortunately, I had to feel trouble with the service. I had lunch with my family, and we reserved the table for 6 people. I know Fogo Brazilian's concept is an all-you-can-eat and I was imagining the meat always never stops on the plate. I don't know whether this is inadvertent or not, the first till the fourth time, I didn't have any trouble, but, for the fifth and continuously, I waited for meat for 10-15 minutes (because each plated empty, I always smoked in the outside, and take 2 cigarettes). It took a long time for the staff to deliver the meat to the table and they provided the meat's portion less than for 6 people. To be honest, I love meat, which is why If I come to an all-you-can-eat restaurant, I always eat the main they provide (e.g. meat) till I mighty feel satisfied and eat the buffet afterward. However, it seems like the Fogo insisted on enjoying the Buffet, rather than the meat. Because I felt full to wait for the meat, rather than eating the meat 🤣. But that's okay, overall the...
