A group of lads out for dinner and of course it's going to feature meat. Well, you won't be disappointed here. Thoroughly welcomed by the enthusiastic staff we had a large table with a very important marker which if green up means delver food or red up means I am full. You can get extra items to accompany your dish from the central isle such as noodles, rice, potatoes and even a selection of fish/shellfish. But back at the table you will be visited by multiple skewers of cooked meats which is sliced off onto your plate. All cooked well and succulent of good quality cuts. Only issue was I was so meated out, I went veggie for 2 days after! House wine was fine and to finish off they offer you a sweet liqueur poured from up high (plenty of photos of that if you look). I was even “treated” to a direct pouring into my mouth as part of the fun. Also to watch was the waiter loads up a large tray of spent plates and runs through the restaurant to the kitchen with great balance.

If you’re looking for quality food and genuine hospitality in Portimão, I strongly suggest you skip this place altogether and head to Vinhos e Comidas instead—you’ll be far better...
Read moreSecond visit to Forgo De Chao and it was great.
Had the Rodizio for lunch which was only 22 euro per person. This included the buffet and as much meat as you can handle! The have an option for just the buffet which is 9.99 and is great value.
Service was fantastic and we were well looked after. The buffet has everything you would want and then some. The meat dishes were great and super fresh which a wide variety (Beef, Pork and Chicken)
I do really like Fogo De Chao and have given it 4 stars as it's not the best Rodizio I have been to (won't mention the name as not fair on Fogo)
That being said it's a great place to have a big...
