Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse has introduced a Brazilian twist on a South American classic – the Chilean Sea Bass. This light and elegant fish from the cold deep waters of the Southern Atlantic will be served with a splash of Brazilian-inspired, fresh mango relish. The recipes were developed by the Fogo de Chão culinary team, to highlight the rich and tender flavors of Chilean Sea Bass with an added Brazilian flair. This new seafood option will be offered with the gourmet salad bar and à la carte. “We’re excited to introduce our Brazilian take on a South American Classic, which expands our variety and enhances the high-end dining experience. The Mango Chilean Sea Bass will be another great option for our guests to taste the flavors of Brazil, especially those looking for a lighter entrée during the spring and Lenten seasons.” – Andy Feldmann, Fogo de Chão Director of Marketing. At-home recipe available upon request.
In addition to the Mango Chilean Sea Bass, Fogo will offer a Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail that’s served on ice with a spicy, Brazilian-inspired malagueta cocktail sauce. The Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail features six luscious shrimp and was originally released as a part of Bar Fogo in the flagship NYC location, and in San Jose. This classic seafood option is available at Fogo restaurants from coast-to-coast in the U.S.
This authentic Southern Brazilian steakhouse offers 16 delectable cuts of fire-roasted meats that are specially carved to each guest’s preference. Diners enjoy a variety of selections including house specialty picanha sirloin, filet mignon, ribeye, lamb chops, chicken wrapped in bacon, and pork ribs to name a few. Additionally, Fogo offers a 30+ item gourmet salad and sides bar, and Southern Brazilian side dishes such as pão de queijo (warm cheese bread), crispy hot polenta, and caramelized bananas are served family style. A tempting dessert menu, creative and classic cocktails, and an award-winning wine list complement the dining experience.
