Loved the food, particularly if you like meat. Just thought it was a tad expensive, but certainly worth the experience. More

The meats are well cut and well marinated. Maybe u don't want to go on your first date, unless u r Ok with him noticing you devouring a large piece of pork chop. But wonderful place for the guys to go and behave like a primate. Nice! More

Like most of the reviewers of this restaurant, I find it a thoroughly enjoyable eating experience. Although probably not quite as good as an overall dining experience. The food is great as long as you're not a vegetarian, it's very good value, and it's certainly preferable to the ya-gotta-do-it-at-least-once Carnivore Restaurant. On the (slightly) downside, it's a reasonably large restaurant... More

I have visited this restaurant twice and both my visits have been highly satisfying. The lunch priced at ksh 1400/- consisting of a splendid salad bar, cheese, ham and followed by flame grilled chicken drums, boneless chicken, beef ribs, pork, crocodile meat, fish, prawns and many more foods which I was too full to sample is pleasantly over whelming.

Excellent food, very reasonably priced but be prepared to pay over the top prices for very average wine. Highly recommended. More

Fogo Gaucho is a MUST visit on the Nairobi restaurant circuit! We eat here at least once every trip to Nairobi and have taken numerous friends out to eat here. We've never seen anyone leave disappointed. The salad bar alone, with its large variety of salads, side dishes, huge round of parmesan cheese and ham, is worth the $20/person. The... More

fogo has nice cuts of meat and the salad is exceptionally great though they removed the rudolf salad that they used to serve when they first opened. On arrival, they bring these little meat / cheese pastries to the table, while you settle down, order drinks, etc. you can then walk over to the salad table and have you fair... More

Enjoyed the first visit for lunch. So this time I decided to take the wife for Dinner. Friday night. Noisy. Full of ex-pats. Service was rapid and waiters were flying around as if they were on roller skates. It took a while for them to bring around the much publicised prawns... but eventually they came and were very nice. Food,... More
