Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse, Brazilian steakhouse in White Plains, US
Fogo de Chão is a Brazilian steakhouse located in a former Bank of New York building, featuring an open kitchen where gaucho chefs prepare fire-roasted meats using traditional cooking methods. The restaurant serves a rotating selection of grilled meats brought directly to your table by skilled servers who carve portions on demand.
The chain began in Southern Brazil during the 1970s, when gaucho cowboys working on cattle ranches created traditional open-fire cooking methods. These ranching origins shaped the restaurant's approach to preparing and serving meat.
Servers dressed as gauchos move through the dining room carrying skewered meats and carving directly at your table, bringing a piece of Brazilian tradition to your meal. This style of service creates a lively and engaging atmosphere that centers on sharing food in a casual, hands-on way.
The restaurant opens daily at 11:30 AM, with extended hours until 10:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays for both lunch and dinner service. Making a reservation during peak times helps you secure a table without long waits.
Diners control their meal pace using a two-sided disc that rests on the table: the green side signals servers to bring more meat, while the red side indicates you need a break. This simple tool gives you complete control over how much and how quickly you eat.
