Laid back atmosphere, very reasonable prices and fantastic cuts of grilled meat. Wash it down with a glass of beer and you have all the ingredients for a guys night out.

Our family, the company I work for have been to Fogo countless times and we NEVER tire. A large choice of salads to choose from, countless cuts of fresh succulent meat. What more can a carnivore ask for? Topped off by friendly Johnny Zanrosso who makes sure he never forgets his regulars. How many times have we sung "Happy Birthday"... More

Great variety of meat and I found it to be pretty authentic. The salad bar isn't that good, but who goes to a churrascaria for greens? They also have a really nice grilled pineapple dessert. Great choice for guys night out.

We went to Fogo Gaucho Steak House again - 5 months after our first visit. The salad bar, meat offering, grilled pineapple for dessert, and the service was all as good as our first visit last November. The crocodile was particularly good - tender and moist. The prime rib was the clear winner though - for all 4 of us.... More

Yohan, Grade 7 All you can eat type restaurants are not normally classy but have a low class, “don’t wanna be seen here” type attached to them. Though add into the mix a Brazilian theme, world class meats, unique concepts plus a rustic atmosphere and you have a restaurant that has taken all you can eat to whole new level.... More

I love to eat something sweet after meals & going by buffet standards was looking to devour at least 5 - 6 variants of sweet dishes. Not saying that cinnamon pineapple was bad but hey... More

Went here as an alternative to the Carnivore. There was an extensive salad bar which surrounded a large fish tank. You are provided with a marker which is red on one side and green on the other. The idea is that if your marker is green side up, they will provide you with more meat but if it's red, they... More

Tried several different "all you can eat" meat restaurants and this was the best one in terms of meat quality and service. The style is Brazilian. They had meat from rare to well done, which was a change for the better.

Raves; - Wide range of well prepared meats. - Wide variety of salads & appetizers. - Small & somewhat intimate compared to their counterparts.
