The restaurant's unwavering quality and charm have helped it continually offer one of the most sought-after eating experiences in the city. Year after year, Fogo takes best in show from a range of magazines, newspapers and other media outlets.Waiters, or garcoms, dressed in traditional gaucho attire circle the dining room with fine cuts of beef (including the local favorite picanha, or baby beef), chicken, pork, lamb, boar and fish, among other prey. Accompanying the wide selection of meats is a salad bar stocked with vegetables, sides, sushi and hot dishes. All of it, from chicken hearts (a delicacy here) to artichokes, is all-you-can-eat, or rodizio.
