The story
Since 1979, Fogo de Chão has been dedicated to the culinary art of churrasco, a tradition born in the mountainous landscapes of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The founders grew up on a traditional farm in the Serra Gaucha, where they learned the slow-grilling techniques that define the restaurant today. This Burlington location brings that rich heritage to Massachusetts, offering a dining experience rooted in a family’s legacy.
The heart of Fogo de Chão is its continuous service of fire-roasted meats, carved tableside by gaucho chefs. The signature cut is Picanha, a prime part of the top sirloin, lightly seasoned with rock salt. The menu also features a variety of other remarkable cuts, including the Beef Ancho (bone-in ribeye), Fraldinha (bottom sirloin), and the slow-grilled Costela (beef ribs). For those seeking an enhanced experience, premium options like a 24oz Wagyu Ancho or a 36oz Dry-Aged Tomahawk Ancho are available.
Alongside the meats, guests explore the seasonal Market Table, which offers a selection of fresh vegetables, salads, and authentic Brazilian sides. The restaurant also features Bar Fogo, where Brazilian-inspired small plates and cocktails are served. The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, reflecting the spirit of Southern Brazil.
Fogo de Chão in Burlington has earned the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, a testament to its carefully curated wine program that complements the robust flavors of the churrasco. This Brazilian steakhouse continues to spread its culture and flavors, inviting guests to discover the fire of Fogo in a setting that honors its deep-rooted traditions.
