The experience of Brazilian churrasco extends beyond food. Rooted in Southern Brazil, the tradition combines open-fire cooking, hospitality, and a dining culture centered around gathering, sharing, and celebration.
Founded in Southern Brazil in 1979, Fogo de Chão introduced the traditional churrasco method to an international audience, transforming regional culinary heritage into a globally recognized dining experience. Today, the brand operates locations across multiple countries and continues expanding internationally.
About Fogo de Chão
Originating in Rio Grande do Sul, the brand was built around traditional gaucho grilling methods where premium cuts are prepared over open flames and served through the classic rodízio experience.
Over time, Fogo de Chão expanded beyond Brazil and established locations throughout the United States, Latin America, and additional international markets.
