Developed to accommodate the busy schedules of weekday diners and business professionals, Fogo’s Gaucho Lunch menu provides a new way to experience its award-winning cuisine and hospitality, starting at only $15*.

“Gaucho Lunch was created to provide our guests a way to experience the Fogo they love within a timeframe that fits with their daytime needs,” said Larry Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chão. “After successfully launching this specialized lunch menu at limited locations, we are pleased to be introducing this exciting new offering to guests nationwide.  With Gaucho Lunch, our guests have a greater ability to customize the portion, price and time spent during their experience, and to say goodbye to the notion that lunch takes too long.”

Guests also have the option to add a selection of fire-roasted steak, lamb, chicken, or pork – carved tableside by gaucho chefs, all for less than $25*. Every meal is accompanied with house-made garlic mashed potatoes, caramelized bananas, and crispy fried polenta topped with parmesan cheese.
