The 7 Best Restaurants On Las Olas In Fort Lauderdale

"At Chima, $63 gets you a meal that feels like a beef tornado. Like a lot of Brazilian steakhouses, the meat comes to you. Once seated in the big dining room full of high school dates and parents celebrating anniversaries, servers approach the table offering various cuts off a metal rod. There’s a strategy here. Don’t fill up on the pretty average salad bar (which has more cheese and sliced meat than actual salad). Be patient and hold out for the picanha or filet mignon. But try a bit of everything, too. Once you find something you love, tell your server, and she’ll nudge the carrier of your preferred meat over to the table while you sip a very good caipirinha " - ryan pfeffer

The 9 Best Steakhouses in Broward County | Eater Miami

"This is a Las Olas Boulevard oasis with bistro-light-lit trees quietly nestled between Downtown Fort Lauderdale and the beach. Chima is the area’s utmost Brazilian steakhouse with a vast salad bar, waiters swirling about with slabs of all the meat for slicing, and, my God, a dense pao de queijo (cheese bread) that puts others to shame."

South Florida’s Best Brazilian Restaurants - Eater Miami

"Behold the all-you-can-eat rodizio, a Brazilian style that combines a buffet with traditional restaurant service. At Chima, diners pay a flat fee to eat in a dining room where servers are roaming continuously with various rotisserie-cooked meats like sirloin, filet, ribs, lamb, pork, chicken, sausage, and fish. Guest are provided a double-sided green and red round card used to indicate to the servers that the meat feast should continue or pause. The meal includes a salad bar filled with cold cuts, cheeses, and soups. The lineup of sweet endings is just as lavish and includes lip=smacking confections like apple strudel, brigadeiro (chocolate truffle), and beijinho (coconut and condensed milk fudge rolled into small balls)." - Juliana Accioly

First time dining at Chima! Angel was our server and he truly went above and beyond as well as all the staff! We truly felt welcomed and we had an amazing time. The food was exceptional, all the meat was perfectly cooked and the lobster was delicious. Thank you to the entire team! We will definitely be back!

I had one of the best experiences ever, I’ve been to many other steakhouses and this gets a 100/10 from my husband and I, from valet all the way to our table. Jhoan really made me want to stay long although I was full, the way he worked with us and also all the other tables around he made us feel like we were the o my ones in the restaurant, I can’t wait to come back. Thank you guys for such amazing service

I would like to take a moment to recognize Nicole for her outstanding service. From the moment we were seated, she was attentive, warm, and professional. Nicole anticipated our needs without being intrusive and ensured every detail of our dining experience was handled with care and efficiency. Her friendly demeanor and excellent communication made us feel truly welcomed and valued. It’s rare to come across someone who strikes the perfect balance between personable and professional, but Nicole did just that. She’s a true asset to your team, and we look forward to returning thanks to her exceptional service.

What a great experience at Chima’s! We brought our family from New York here and they were so impressed with the dining experience, the quality of meats and salad bar, and the excellent service from start to finish. What a gorgeous atmosphere & live music on Saturday night!!!! Definitely worth the price- come hungry!

A Perfect Celebration at Chima – Thanks to Angelo! We had an absolutely incredible experience at Chima for my son’s 13th birthday dinner! We were a large party of 11, including a high chair and a stroller, and from the moment we arrived, our server Angelo went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless. Angelo was exceptional — attentive, kind, and always two steps ahead of our needs. He managed our large group with ease and made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. From drink refills to making sure every skewer made it around the table, he didn’t miss a beat. We brought in our own cake for the birthday celebration, and the staff handled it with such care — presenting it beautifully and making the moment feel truly special. Every detail of the evening was perfect, from the ambiance and food to the outstanding service. The meats were tender and flavorful, the salad bar was fresh and abundant, and the timing was just right for a relaxed yet celebratory dinner. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Angelo and the Chima team, for helping us create such a memorable evening. We will definitely be back — and recommending you to everyone we know!

I was at Chima with a large group last Saturday night to celebrate some July birthdays! The food was delicious! The ambiance was beautiful! The staff was amazing! They were beyond nice, friendly, accommodating and attentive! I would give 10 stars if I could! Ashley was fantastic with helping set up the reservation! It was the perfect place for any kind of celebration or occasion! The Pineapple with brown melted sugar was my personal favorite! I can't wait to go back again soon! It's the ultimate experience for meat, seafood, and salad bar lovers! A true hidden gem on Las Olas! Thanks to everyone at Chima for a fabulous experience! Keep up the good work!

For nearly 20 years we've been fans of Chima in Fort Lauderdale. We still haven't found a better "churrascaria rodizio" in the entire US. Fogo de Chão doesn't come close. Only in Brazil have we found a better rodizio experience. We also admire Chima's consistency and reliability; their quality and service haven't floundered throughout these many years. Our favorite cuts include the beef ribs, flank steak, and the garlic "picanha." We used to be fans of their sword fish, but it's no longer served. Their salad bar is decent, but who cares about the salad bar?! One goes to Chima for the protein, not salad! We just spent $282 dollars for a 3-person dinner, including tip (no alcohol, only water, no dessert). As Brazilians who are intimately familiar with the "churrascaria rodizio" concept, we can safely say that Chima is the best churrascaria we've ever tried in the US. They never disappoint!

Love this place! Anniversaries, birthdays and celebrations Chima is a high end Brazilian churrasco steak house. They offer a beautiful robust salad bar that is refilled and cleaned often. There are plenty of vegetarian options as well as seafood if you want to just get the salad bar option. The food service waiters place polenta wedges, plantains and mashed potatoes on the table with the tapioca Brazilian cheese bread yum! There's a Black chip on the table to turn over to Red when you are ready for the meat Gauchos to come serve you meat on the skewer that they will cut off for you on your plate. The gauchos cook the meats and offer you the temperature you desire. My favorite is the picanha and the garlic picanha, fillet mignon and the seasoned pineapple it's like dessert! I've had the tamahawk steak night promotion it was delicious !! Dessert the lava cake and the passion fruit cheesecake are great I get them often! Hope you enjoy as much as I do.

Second night in Florida and we decided to have dinner at Chima Brazilian Steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale. The food was absolutely delicious--everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Our waitress Sophie was amazing! So sweet and attentive, and she even gave us great local recommendations to check out during our vacation. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Came here for dinner ; and really enjoyed it . Good service , good food , and good ambiance . !!!!! Meats perfectly cooked; would have loved some sweet plantains as option in the salad bar , but overall super good

Pleasant atmosphere but glacial service. Came for HH. Good prices and good drinks. But waited and waited. Wasnt busy. Flies swarming the food left next to us. Carpaccio with crostini came with no crostini. Got some push back and had to point it out on the menu. No napkins. Chicken skewers were great, tender and spicy. Complimentary bread balls with dip excellent. Could be a great place with some decent service.

Went here for our anniversary dinner on New Year's Day and it did not disappoint. Service was fabulous and the meats were cooked deliciously! The ambiance when you first walk in is so nice with the lights in the trees.. had a couple drinks before hand at the bar for the happy hour, highly recommend! We have tried a lot of restaurant in Fort Lauderdale throughout the years but this one is a must come back to because it was that good!!!

I have been to Chima many times throughout the past few years and it never disappoints! The fried polenta and mashed potatoes are enough to keep me coming back! We had a 7:00 reservation on a Friday night in August (made easily through OpenTable) and were seated right away despite it being very crowded. Our servers were very attentive and explained how everything works with the little cards and the salad bar. The salad bar had a solid selection. Everything was neat and clean. By the time the meats began to come out we were already so full! My advice is to pace yourself and only arrive extremely hungry! Lol I wish I paid attention to exactly which cuts I was eating but I just kept eating lol. The garlic chicken, surprisingly was my favorite. Highly recommend Chima, especially for steak lovers.

Walking through the courtyard at Chima is a magical experience in itself. Towering Banyan trees decorated with fairy lights, gas lamps, and fountains spilling water onto rock gardens. Our party of four celebrated New Year's Eve, as has been our tradition over the last several years. The salad bar is amazing, if you can dream it it's there. Once the meats start coming, it's a never-ending parade of perfectly cooked grilled items. They have an extensive wine selection and if you have any room after your dinner, they offer dessert as well. Our servers, Rodrigo Johnathan E and Johanna took very good care of us. Chima is a special treat and we always look forward to celebrating there.

Honestly we were pretty disappointed in this place. It's been on my to try list for a while and it was subpar at best. Meat quality was okay and differently affected the overall experience. The three things that stood out was the glass of red Cabernet , the hot pineapple with cinnamon and Cesar salad. I'm hoping this was a bad night but not sure if I'd give it another try

We have been coming for over 20 years, but this Father's Day (go every year) the cuts did not seem to be the prime beef we always ate. I know restaurants sometimes have "bad" days, but the quality was missing on everything except the tenderloin

Wonderful experience at Chima! The service was impeccable and the food was great. The salad bar had a great assortment of traditional salad items, as well as a great seafood salad. The fried polenta, cheese bread and bananas that are brought to the table are also excellent. Each cut of meat we enjoyed was cooked and seasoned perfectly. However, I most enjoyed the grilled pineapple--so unexpected but delicious! We will definitely be back!

I'm typing this as my family and I are driving back home after the dinner. It's been 13 years since we last dined here for my sister's Birthday. Today we dined here for Father's Day. We were first greeted by the valet parkers, the valet parkers were nice and parked our Tesla for us. Our main server was Egly, Egly was really nice and great. Egly checked up on us often and did our requests fast. Egly also made sure I received my last pineapple slices before we left. Everything here was delicious. The food was delicious and top quality. Everyone in my family enjoyed the food. My favorites were the white rice, fried yuca, Picanha, and pineapple. The white rice was very flavorful and good, it was seasoned and had a slight garlic taste. The fried yuca was really good too, had the right amount of crunch to it. Picanha was really good, it was juicy and flavorful with the cap of fat. My #1 favorite was the pineapple, the pineapple was really delicious and juicy. I ate at least 10 slices of it. The pineapple had a slight cinnamon and sugar taste. The only cut I didn't enjoy was the jalapeño steak, the jalapeño steak wasn't bad, it was just spicy for me and had a taste that wasn't for me. The restaurant was also clean and nice in the inside and outside. They even have mouthwash in the toilets. They also gave my Dad a free dessert and a card for his next visit. Would visit here again.

So I've written about how my go to used to be Texas De Brazil. That is until the last time on my birthday in August of 2024. I went into detail of the service failures and then how their corporate office compounded the bad experience. I said that if I am going to spend my money, I want to know it is somewhere that appreciates my business. My wife went to Chima shortly after my birthday, with a bunch of her friends for a girls group. She came home raving about it and said I was probably going to like it. Her birthday rolled around at the end of September and that's where she wanted to go. What a great place! From the moment you walk in off the street you see the welcoming courtyard that is like a little oasis. With the right weather, it looks to be a great place to hang out. They have an outside bar that was closed the night we went, but again, the weather has to right. You walk in and there is a nice little bar to the right and a wine room to the left of that. you round the corner past the host stand and you see the nice sized salad bar. It had plenty of great options, but I tend to just get a few pieces of cheese and focus on the meats. Anyway, we were sat quickly, greeted immediately, water right away, bread, polenta, mashed potatoes boom, right there. Server came over did his thing and my wife ordered her drink and I got my usual diet coke. turned the cards over and it was game on. They came right away, never had to wait, they had great selections. More than other Brazilian restaurants we've been too. It was nice to see salmon being offered. The regular little bacon wrapped filets were expected, what wasn't expected was the full size 8 oz filets they also offer you a cut of. Then the ribeye, that was amazing. Forget that you don't usually see ribeye on the list of options, this was incredibly tender. Like really surprisingly tender. To the point where I had to show my wife. They have a roasted pineapple which was good and some grilled brazilian cheese of some type. Every meat was cooked perfectly, no over cooked pieces the entire time. Everything was well seasoned. I can't say enough good things about the restaurant. I'll say this, the one positive of the service failures of Texas De Brazil, was that it got me to try other options and find my new favorite. Hands down the best option around. Service, great Food, great Atmosphere, great Manager, great (I love when they do a sincere table visit and not a "everything good" as they hit and run) Price, reasonable for the quality you're getting Selection, great. Not a bad thing to say.

Let me start by saying the food here is always outstanding. The ambience is great and I will be back. I understand it was a holiday. Valentine's Day is a big deal. But for a restaurant with so much volume constantly, Valentine's Day is just another day. We were never really assigned a server and were constantly waving our hands for basic things. I felt embarrassing to have to flag down the servers of other patrons. I work in a restaurant and the service last night was not very good. We never got our mock tails. Not sure the name of our server, but another guy named Andre helped us and apologized. He later offered us beverages but they had alcohol so we did not accept. But the lack of service from our initial server kind of ruined the mood.

I haven't been here in a very long time! My friend had a gift card that she wanted to use, so we went. We were seated quickly but there were many people nearby, it was very loud- it was a Sunday night. Our server was explaining how everything worked- about the rodizio & the salad bar. We ordered a bottle of wine- my hubby had the signature cocktail- caipirinha. My friends guy ordered a beer. It took a very long time time get the drinks- I wanted to sip some wine before going to salad bar. It was a very large salad bar- I personally didn't wanted to get filled up on that. When the wine came the rodizio started coming with food. Unfortunately, the lamb chops came out before my wine so I declined- little did I know I had to request them only to be too full at the end of the evening to eat them. I was not impressed with the food- it was ok but I have had better choices at other places. I think for $63 pp & $12 valet parking- it's way overpriced. I don't think I will go back. Only took 1 pic- from salad bar because the gauchos gave the food so fast I didn't have time!

I really wish I had more photos from Chima, so you could really understand how amazing this restaurant is! If you have never had hot pineapple with cinnamon sprinkled on it then you should! I promise it may sound a little crazy but it's delicious. They have every assortment of meat you could possibly imagine and did I mention the hot pineapple! I was taken to CHIMA for Father's Day and I believe it to be one of the best steakhouses in Broward county if not THEE best! The staff was very nice and the restaurant is spacious and beautifully decorated! I promise you a meal at Chima is never a bad decision!

This Brazilian all you can each restaurant located on Las Olas in Ft. Lauderdale offers table side meats and a full salad bar. The complete dinner Rodizio with salad bar is $63.90 and the Gourmet Salad Bar with one cut of meat, salmon or chicken is $49.90. They bring to the table some side dishes and warm bread. Valet parking is $10 but there are a few meters out front. There is a dress code of proper attire. Entering the restaurant is impressive with the huge tree in the courtyard with a bar. There is a separate bar inside. Our large group sat in the back area. Our server was very nice but I asked for water several times. The food and desserts were fine.

As Rodizio go, this place wasn't perfect but, what it lacked in execution, it made up for in enthusiasm. There's a free parking garage nearby, paid street parking a little closer, or a $10 valet on site. A beautiful outside sitting area overlooked by giant banyan trees is your first impression, and it ain't a bad one! The trees have been covered in hundreds, maybe thousands of white string lights and it gives a warm glow to everything outside. Inside, they've went for straight lines and contemporary vibes, with lots of black and white. This is not your old school romantic date night, Rodizio, this is an upgraded and updated retelling of that story with a more limited food menu and an utter lack of sound insulation. The service is super friendly and everyone seems genuinely happy to help serve, but nothing here happens fast, and nothing here happens cheaply. Food was good but not great, and generally overcooked, but the meat keeps coming til you say stop.

I've been coming to Chima FTL for over a decade. The food is always good and fast. Let's start with the salad bar- the selection ranges from seasonal soup, meats, cheeses, pre made salads, potato salad, white rice, black beans, and cold pasta salads. I wish they served a hot potato, like cheesy potatoes, but that's not an option at the buffet. The waiter brings a small serving of mashed potatoes to your table along with cheesy bread, fried yuka, and sweet plantains. The meat selection ranges from chicken, shrimp, steak, short rib, sausage, salmon, and pineapple. My personal favorite is the picanha and flank steak. You can ask the waiter to bring the specific meat you want. They also offer bacon wrapped or garlic butter options. Overall, this place is definitely worth the $65 dinner price tag!

We stopped by the restaurant for dinner while visiting Fort Lauderdale. The ambience was very appealing, and the food was incredible. Everything I had from my sangria to the salad bar to the cut of meat that were brought to the table were all superb. I have nothing negative to say other than the fact that I was too full to indulge in dessert! Lol....but our server, I believe his name was Michael...I apologize if I get his name wrong...was completely on point! He was informative and professional. It was a last-minute reservation but we were able to get in and be seated. I love when things fall in place and the experience is good and that's exactly what happened to us when we visited this steakhouse. Thank you so much we will definitely return the next time we visit the Fort Lauderdale area and I highly recommend.

I recently dined at Chima Brazilian Steakhouse and had an incredible experience! The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, perfect for a special night out. The variety and quality of the meats were outstanding--most cut was seasoned and cooked just right, from juicy steaks to tender lamb chops. The salad bar was impressive, offering a wide range of fresh and delicious options to complement the main courses. The service was top-notch; the servers were attentive, ensuring we always had fresh cuts and a full glass. I also appreciated the attention to detail and the comfortable pace of the meal. Overall, Chima provided a fantastic dining experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Brazilian steakhouse with exceptional food and service! If you can tolerate dairy, I highly recommend you try the Brazilian lemonade. It's delicious, but it does contain sweetened condensed milk.

Chima is our go-to spot whenever we have special occasions to celebrate or to treat visiting family from out of state. From the moment you walk through the courtyard filled with fire, water and lights, you know you are in for something special. Service from the valet parking to servers and managers is great. Drinks are spot on! The food bar has so many mouth-watering choices! And then the meats---wow! If you haven't been, the waitstaff passes through the dining room with various cuts of meats on skewers--filet, sirloins, bacon-wrapped filets, chicken, sausage, shrimp---have as much or as little as you wish. Every bite seasoned to perfection. This is a great place for celebrating special occasions, a romantic dinner, or just a splurge! So, so very very good!

Well what a disastrous decision to make a reservation at Chima for thanksgiving. Clearly way overbooked reservations (which are required) wait time little more than an hour Require a man to have sleeves on a shirt which we were so advised when we walked in - so that would be ok, except ladies none, many in Tshirts, flip flops, etc. Food - awesome but slow service -- The buffet table was a total mess, clearly not kept fresh! Service - staff was overwhelmed Front - overwhelmed Overall - not good/disappointing

Did not take pictures of the food but had a good experience here for my girlfriend's birthday party. They took care of us wonderfully, including lighting the cake and sneaking up on my girlfriend with it. The food was overall pretty good and they really overwhelm you with the meat. Very elegant and classy atmosphere. They were laid back about me having to keep changing the large party reservation. We had George as a server and he was lovely and made sure we got all the different dishes they offer. This is my second birthday party here. Better service and atmosphere than Fogo but I actually think I prefer the salad bar and actual meat quality and offerings at Fogo. Still my girlfriend had a really nice time tonight at Chima and I think that counts for a lot and says a lot about the service. I've had some spotty service at Fogo for sure. There was nothing unpleasant to report about Chima at all. Thank you guys!

3.5 Rating Went here today for a birthday gathering. Was not too impressed with the seasonings of their meats. The Lamb Chops had a bit of an old taste. I skipped a couple of items, as I wanted to save room for Picahna. It was about a 3-1/2 for me. The best meat of the night was the Flank Steak and the Filet Mignon I'll give them both 4.5's. The rest was just average and lacked really good taste. Had to ask to get more meats. The line just completely slowed down. I'm sticking with Fogo De Chao as the best spot right now for Rodizio's. This one will possibly not get a repeat appearance from me. Looking forward to Fogo De Chao next week.

What an experience! Valet is $8 and I recommend because who has time to find parking. Upon arriving to the restaurant we went to check in but the host/hostess were away and since we were early we went to the restroom to freshen up. We went back and we were greeted and seated. We had three waitresses, the concept of the restaurant was explained and we ordered a passion fruit drink and a espresso martini to start off. These were sooo good! The Acai drink was a bit too acidic for me- I prefer sweet. I enjoyed dinner, the rodizio experience was very new to me. There's a self serve salad bar, where you can find various salads and side. I was hoping that we were provided with plates at the beginning of our experience to try the meats. We had to get up and go to the bar to get plates. Nevertheless that was not a big deal. I was so intrigued by the process of serving the different cuts of meat, chicken, lamb and salmon. The sirloin was my favorite it was juicy and well seasoned. The Salmon was flaky I got the passion fruit sauce which was very different for my palette. My overall experience was great! I'd definitely return to try happy hour soon. For desert I ordered the crème brûlée to go. It was so creamy and sweet.

I visited this restaurant on Valentine's Day with my girlfriend, 5 stars!!! You're greeted at the front entrance with a beautiful dimly lit ambiance that sets the perfect romantic setting. The food and the service delivered just as much as the aesthetic, as we were pleasantly fed to our filling. Btw, please do not say no to the Pineapple, trust me on this! Will definitely be back soon.

Best service. Amazing and classy vibe. In the food couldn't be more fresh. We definitely have some favorites such as the pineapple and the bacon wrapped filet mignon is to die for! 10/10. Also keep in mind. This is valet parking only, so before asking for the check ask for your vehicle!

The hostess were extremely unpleasant and dismissive. I made a reservation for 5 people to grab drinks and bites for happy hour. I picked Chima because their website states that happy hour is available in the courtyard and the bar. The hostess response was there are no bartenders outside and made it seem as if it was a problem for us to order from the happy hour menu. Lastly, The server came to our table 10 minutes later with only two menus. I felt unwelcome during my visit and my guest were so uncomfortable. We left and had to go to another restaurant to eat.

Amazing experience as always. This time I hosted a birthday party luncheon for twenty guests. Ashley Williams was my event manager and helped me organize all aspects of the party. She was outstanding and a wonderful ambassador for the restaurant. The party was a great success; all my guests were so impressed by the level of service and quality of the food. Manager Guilherme Feitoza and our Server. Rodrigo , were outstanding. They were attentive to all our needs. Drinks & delicious meats kept coming. All the other staff were also great ; my apologies their names escape me. The drinks were well crafted and tasty. Seating was comfortable and not cramped. The semi private room was the perfect fit for my event. I appreciate you making my 50th birthday celebration a very memorable experience for my dear friends and family.

Such an amazing time. The atmosphere is so cozy, tropical, romantic and relaxed. The salad bar had plenty of fresh items to choose from and the meats and apps were so fresh and savory! The service was very attentive and kind. We will absolutely be returning to this location in the future.

We had a great meal (George was amazing) and then it went downhill from there. The mandatory valet lost my son's keys. He lives in Tampa and they offered an Uber. He had to make a scene for anyone to offer to get a locksmith to make a key. The manager was making him feel bad for being angry. In his words " You don't have to crucify me man!?" He wasn't offered anything for his 90 minute wait and their incompetence by losing his keys. What a way to ruin a night. Won't be back here!

The service was amazing. The variety of the food was great but the meats were medium and well. My favorite food was the tropical delight it had coconut cookie vanilla ice cream and cinnamon on top. The ambiance was amazing. Everything was amazing.

Short review: This is an upscale, fine dining Brazilian steakhouse, like if Texas de Brazil wore a suit. Longer review: The food is excellent, this is the best Brazilian Steakhouse in all of Fort Lauderdale. The gauchos are all friendly, the wait staff are helpful, polite, and friendly. The rotation is very efficient, you aren't left waiting more than a few minutes between offerings, and everything is very clearly hot and fresh. This is the kind of place you can enjoy an evening dinner with your spouse or celebrate a birthday or graduation, I recommend it highly.

This was our 2nd Chima experience, first on Ft Lauderdale. It was good. The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but once you enter through the front gate, it is quite beautiful. The salad bar was good but like a salad bar. All of the options were cold. The mint jelly was interesting and worth a try. The meat they brought around was good some stand out for the walnut chicken and the garlic steak and the beef ribs Our experience overall was good but not as great as the Charlotte location. But worth a visit.

The place is immaculate. It's so gorgeous from the beautiful all illuminated entrance with wooden details and a welcoming arch. The steakhouse is so modern with metal, wood and white details. The bathrooms are squeaky clean and it feels like welcoming. Sandro one of the churrasco handlers made sure to bring us the best quality steaks. We all loved the famous picanha and their fillet mignon. Ps: there's 2 types of fillet mignon! There's a normal one and another with garlic bread Enjoy it!
