Fogo de Chão Jardins

​An unacceptable failure of service and quality, particularly for a flagship steakhouse in São Paulo. The "Full Experience" here costs the same as superior rodizios in Europe, yet the value is nonexistent. ​We received meat for only 10 minutes before being completely ignored. When I finally requested the check, the waiter threw it onto the table with an attitude, as if doing us a favor. To make matters worse, the optional service charge was presumptuously added without asking—which I certainly did not want to pay given the negligence we faced. ​The food presentation was equally disappointing; the fruit at the salad bar was chopped roughly and presented in a sloppy, unappetizing manner. Being charged the full price plus service for such a dismal experience is shameful.

Decided to try this based off another review from R B as in the review section. Yes, the recommend caipirinha is a passion fruit one and it's definitely so good, was worried about reports from the hotel that said I need to avoid alcohol as there is a trend to spike it, so didn't want to but the establishment looks proper and I don't think they would tolerate such things here. Had the BBQ buffet... Amazing, I love the fact that I had NO clue what the neat that was being served by the servers as they all spoke Portuguese, but I tell you what, I didn't turn anything away, I think I missed the fillet mignon, the sirloin guy kept coming back, my favourite is the chicken hearts, I know gross but they are so good... The server's are reasonably attentive, had the desert, but the milk cake in India was 💯 more tasty, dear chef, more egg whites will make that cake light and then it will be heavenly, it's tooo heavy the way you made it, try that and drop me a response saying that I was right.. hehe Thanks guys, definitely cool place, I was allowed in wearing shorts and a tee shirt, I appreciate that they are not sticky on that, I'm relaxed and wanna have a relaxing meal, not a stuck up meal... Especially when the star ⭐ is the BBQ meats... Lamb, pork ribs too salty for my taste, maybe it's the way it's done in Brazil... No wonder you have one of the highest ratings on Google maps, you still deserve those stars and ratings it's not slipped in any way...

A very fancy place to go and try Brazilian Churrascaría. The service was not so good, the buffet could have more things comparing with the price. You can order just a dish or the full experience But was a good experience

Miguel and Medina were great servers. They very patient with us as we were trying to order in Portuguese

Had a great business dinner with amazing meat cuts i a steady flow! I’d recommend their caipirinha with maracuja. And their cream dessert was awesome ! I had the mango one which was delicious

Fogo de Chão is a well-known Brazilian steakhouse chain (churrascaria) that originated in southern Brazil and now has locations throughout the country and internationally. It’s a popular choice for those wanting to experience traditional rodízio-style dining, where servers circulate continuously with a variety of grilled meats, serving you tableside until you say stop. We came here specifically to try the full Brazilian churrasco experience. We ordered the Full Experience set, which included an impressive lineup: Filet Mignon, Flank Steak, Beef Ribs, Sirloin, Chuck, Premium Ribs, Skirt Steak, Chorizo Steak, Ribeye, Lamb Chops, Lamb Shoulder, Pork Ribs, Sausage Platter (spicy, regular, and morcilla), Grilled Chicken, Chicken Hearts, and Picanha served alongside a Salad Bar and Feijoada. It looks like a lot—and it is—but it’s all unlimited, served until you flip your table coaster from green (go) to red (stop). However, during our visit, the meat service was a bit slow—likely due to a busy evening—and we found that many of the meats lacked strong marination or seasoning. While the variety is impressive, the overall flavor could be more robust. The salad bar is fresh and well-stocked, offering cheeses, cured meats, vegetables, and traditional Brazilian sides. The Feijoada (black bean and pork stew) was a nice addition. One thing we missed was the option of seafood—it would’ve been great to see that included as well. Although it’s part of a chain, the restaurant maintains an upscale yet approachable atmosphere. The meat quality is decent, and the concept is fun, especially for first-timers looking to explore Brazilian churrasco culture.

We had a lovely dinner at Fogo de Chão in São Paulo. Our reservation was honored promptly, and we were welcomed with smiles and courteous service from the team. The space itself was warm and inviting, setting the tone for a memorable meal. We started with a few refreshing caipirinhas, then made our way to the buffet—which was excellent. Crisp salads, smoked salmon, cheeses, fresh fruits, and even a smoked pork belly station made for a strong start. Once we flipped our coasters to green, the feast began. The various cuts of beef were superb—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I skipped the poultry and sausages to save room for the star of the show: the beef, which did not disappoint. We ended the meal by sharing a classic crème brûlée—smooth, rich, and perfectly caramelized on top. I’ve also dined at their Miami location, and São Paulo held its own—both in flavor and hospitality. A must-visit for meat lovers exploring Brazil. Documented by Postcards and Coordinates (on Instagram).

All good. Except the food. The bar salad was stinky, as if some food was spoiled food. The meat was never cooked to perfection. It was either too burnt or too raw. You know it's not a good place when the food makes you sick. I had to take baking soda afterward to get better. On top of that, was really expensive. And they were charging an extra soda (which by the way I ordered coke first and they just brought me whatever they wanted)
