Internationally-Renowned Brazilian Steakhouse Fogo De Chao Allows Guests To Discover What’s Next

Fogo de Chão is a Brazilian chain of steakhouses that has opened its newest restaurant at National Harbor. Specializing in Southern Brazilian cuisine, primarily serving churrasco barbecued meats and traditional side dishes, Fogo de Chão adds an upscale flavor to the Waterfront District in Oxon Hill, MD.

Officially opened on March 24 to the public, the fine dining restaurant joins National Harbor’s premier list of shopping, entertainment and retail destinations just minutes from the nation’s capital. The restaurant features an open-air churrasco grill where guests can dine and watch gaucho chefs demonstrate the culinary art of churrasco as they butcher, prepare and grill different cuts of meat over an open flame. Known for excellent meat selections, unparalleled service, the top-quality and innovative buffet of salads and cold dishes is also a fan favorite. 

The menu comes complete with an all-day hour on choices of beer, wine and cocktails rooted in South America. The appetizer section lists seafood towers and lobster and shrimp delights. As a tradition, Fogo de Chão are experts in fire-roasted meat but for those who are vegetarian, the market table and Feijoada has an array of seasonal salads and exotic vegetables.

Matched with an unforgettable dining experience, the restaurant features an outdoor dining patio with waterfront views of the Potomac River, soaring wine displays, dry aged meat lockers for in-house aging and a lively indoor bar. For those looking to take Fogo de Chão home, the restaurant offers To-Go or Catering options for guests to still enjoy a Churrasco experience and last but not least, the Fogo Butcher Shop selection has ready-to-grill-cuts available for market price.
