We hope you’re hungry! After months of anticipation, beloved Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão finally opened its doors downtown at 40 Cortlandt Way. The restaurant — which sits next to the Oculus, at the base of 3 World Trade Center — is bringing its signature Southern Brazilian flair, flavor and ambience to the neighborhood with a traditional churrasco experience that allows guests to watch chefs grill and carve their protein table-side. Now that’s what we call dinner and a show.
Beyond the full carnivorous experience, the dining hotspot features Bar Fogo, which offers all-day happy hour specials including $10 cocktails, $8 glasses of South American wines and $5 beer. You can also grab smaller plates, like lobster and shrimp tacos, in the bar area. The new location will offer weekday lunch specials starting at just $20 (talk about a power lunch), as well as a weekend brunch option. It’s also worth noting that although Fogo de Chão is known for its never-ending fire-grilled meats, there are also menu offerings for pescatarian or vegan guests. Private and semi-private dining spaces are also available for parties and meetings.
Bemvido!
