This is the typical churrascaria. The waiters speak basic English to serve you well. The quality of the meat has been consistent for years. As you'll see in the front window, the ribs are the specialty of the house. Please ask for first cut meat to get the best meat, particularly on picanha. If you happen to come more often... More

Typical churrascaria, in a refined ambience. Very good reception service with valet parking. Impressive large dining room with a superb tropical wood floor. Very careful and professional service. Rich buffet and first class meat cuts selection relentlessly served by efficient and polite waiters. I suggest to close with a delicious papaya mousse and with an unusually good italian espresso.

The service is excellent and attentive to your needs ( although I requested many times the picanha cut ) . The meat is excellent and cooked to perfection. there is nothing to say about the food but the salad bar could be a bit better. You may say you go there for the meat but I have been to Porcao...

If you have visited any of the Fogo de Caho's in the US you will not be impressed as it is very similar. The same concept with VERY good meat and service. I went to other churrascarias while I was in Sao Paulo and this for sure offers the best meat quality.

Fantastic all you can eat beef, lamb, chicken. Amazing salad bar. Be careful not to fill up on all the cheese, rolls, salads. Come for the beef. Don't be put off by the desert prices and save room if you can - far better calorie and money trade off than the rolls and cheese at the table. The only downside... More

The meat was fantastic, the restaurant is very big with a nice decor. The service was very good, the waiters don't walk in this restaurant , they run. I guess it is to keep the meat warm. We didn't get any exotic meat only beef, lamb, chicken and pork. The biggest disappointment was the accompaniments which were rather poor. Valet... More

This is probably the most known Brazilian barbecue house, different types of meat that are served in a non-stop "rodizio", youc an eat all you want. Be sure you are hungry when you come!

I have been in several fogo de chao and this is the best follow by Chicago. The meat was excelent and delicious. I really recommend it. It is a little expensive but it is worth.

This is probably the 1st choice of Churrasco lover's in Sao Paulo but is not the only one and probably not the best as some would claim. It is indeed a great experience in terms of meat cuts and service with well trained and mostly bilingual waiters. But as most of the restaurants in Sao Paulo it is way expensive... More
