Fogo de Chão Jardins

It’s the best for a reason. Largest salad bar you’ve seen, cuts you’ve never heard of. And service as good as it gets. Been to 5 branches in 4 countries, it never disappoints!

Someone local recommended this and I was not familiar with the restaurant even though it has locations in the US. In fact they have a sign of all the places where they're located by the bathroom and there's one 30 minutes from my house. I'll definitely be taking my husband there as he loves meat! LOL The inside and outside were quite a spectacular environment. I loved how we sat next to a wall of green trees that may have connected to the outside. It was behind glass and very elegant. The whole place felt quite upscale although for the amount of food we got, it was quite affordable... Especially factoring in the US dollar exchange rate. Of course, the meat was plentiful, delicious, well seasoned, and always available. The fresh bar was also amazing. I loved everything I tried with no exceptions. My friends got cocktails which they really enjoyed. I stuck with flat bottled water. We decided to get three desserts so we could all try all three. We easily agreed on our three selections and we each had a favorite by the end of our tasting. I loved the lava cake which was funny to me because it's so traditional in America and I was up for trying more local selections. One of my friends loved the tres leches the Best. And my other friend loved creme with papaya liqueur the best. We wanted a quick bite after dinner because we were tired and I had an early flight the next morning. We chose the restaurant for traditional Brazilian barbecue experience before we left town. We ended up staying for 3 hours and leaving happy. Now to the bathroom🚻 I was first going to use the handicap stall as it was accessible and I knew it would be large enough to accommodate me. But I could not get the door locked which was inconvenient because I was by myself. So no one to guard the door. I went into the main women's room which was lovely. Beautiful plants, clean, luxurious. The stalls were comparable to the rest of the bathroom, although there were no larger sized stalls due to the separate handicapped bathroom. I had to throw my paper towel away by the sink so there was nothing to protect my hand when I opened the door to leave. Pee or pass? Definitely pee. And an honorary category... Meat or not meat? Definitely meat. Follow me for places I've been and places I've gone 🤭. I'll tell you if it's a pee or pass.

Food was nice, display was phenomenal and staffs were incredibly professional. I was impressed that they covered customers jacket before they serve food. Only minus was that we need to order Roasted PINEAPPLE separately. Isn't it mandatory to have the PINEAPPLE when you go to Brazilian Steak Buffet?

When asked for any vegetarian items on the menu, the server pointed at the salad bar :). Cute but not a hearty meal I wanted. Nevertheless, the salad bar was very well stocked with plenty of selection to sample and choose from. They had a decent variety of cheeses as well. The cheese bread was delicious and light and fluffy. Also, the cassava was so good especially when paired with the chimmichuri and green sauce. The service was good. It was disappointing that in a place like this, they didnot have English speaking servers. Made communicating choices of meats extremely difficult. But they were attentive. The ambience and decor was lovely with plenty of romance in the air. Wish they had a better choice of music including local or jazz sounds.

Buffet restaurant (with a-la-carte options). Excellent quality of food, tomahawk and picanha in particular. The only down is the choice and volume of the music. Too loud for my taste

Fantastic salad bar that has everything for everyone, and that is even before all the meats with great service!

Worst Fogo De Chao that I have ever been. I have been to many around the world and the worst with no difference - this one. Service was terrible and they still made me tip them $36. They never explained how it worked, show the menu or anything. They did not speak English which to a point is cute and exotic but for this “luxury” place is kind of insulting that they don’t. The meat would not stop even with the green sign. I had to call them. I finished my drink and they never offered more. Meat was disappointing as well! As you can see on the pictures, VERY DRY! It was hard to chew and some was hard to swallow. That is why I needed sauce to cover its poor and over salted flavor. Halfway through my meal thry brought the sauces which they forgot. I had to spit out some of the pieces of how gross they were. I have been to many others where the meat quality is spectacular and the service makes you want to go back. This time, all I want is to open a dispute on my credit card and make myself throw up all the terrible meat that I had. Seriously disappointing! The dessert was supposed to be warm chocolate and it was cold, tasted of microwave and served in a very poor way. Airplane economy class food has nicer presentation and it’s warmer. The only good thing is that I had WiFi. I can’t express enough of my true disappointment for this place because it did not stand to it’s name.

Would give this place 6 starts if I could. The food was insanely delicious from the buffet to every last one of the meats. The atmosphere was very classy and elegant and the waiters were very attentive especially Clayto who explained what the cuts of meat were. Would recommend to anyone visiting Sao Paulo. Now I'm in a food coma and need to sleep kkkkk 😍
