Food was excellent, waiters very friendly, view was spectacular. It’s THE go to restaurant, but much better outside on the terrace.
Great deck to sit out on and enjoy the weather
Nowhere as good as the original
All very nice
Amazing service!!!
Food are not good . We Prefere Texas de Brazil
I enjoyed it. My first time visiting, I thought there was a high top(floor level) but then I had to stay indoor(low level) but was finally taken outside under the cool weather to enjoy the live music and Dubai view. It was very interesting
Très très moyen
Their options are few.
options for appetizer are also limited
Overall good restaurant, good selection of meat. The side dishes was not that great
Good place, good services and tasty food! We enjoyed our experience
Very good quality of food. The salad bar was perfect and keeping all the covid related measures. The meat was amazing and the side orders delicious.
Simple booking system, nice atmosphere, great service and outstanding food.... highly recommended
Service was great. However the meat wasn’t good. It felt the meat had been frozen, it wasn’t fresh. Most of the meat was done or well done. Even when we asked for medium or medium rare, it was still more like frozen meat cooked.
Amazing food and staff are super attentive and helpful
Food was prepared very well, however less than half the meat menu was available or served. I asked and the lamb and lamb chops were not available, neither was the coupim.
Also the music was far too loud, making conversation difficult.
For the price, I would expect to have more if the meat menu available than it was. However what I was given was very good.
Delicious food but the service was horrendous! Waited 40 minutes for a drink and was brought the wrong one 3 times.
we had better churrasco experiences. Food selection was not too great. Service spilled lots of meat on floor or our pants... hope it will get better soon
It was a wonderful evening here in Dubai. Although this was a last minute reservation they were happy to accommodate us with no issues. The Staff for friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The food was top notch just any of the other Brazilian steakhouse branches I've been to in the world. Thank you for the awesome experience before the pandemic hit Feb 2020.
Wonderful, we will come back. Thank you for this experience
Had to constantly loo for the waiter seems like he was taking care of too many tables including large groups so i pretty much had to stand up and look for him
Food was good, but service was a bit hit and miss. It was way too noisy outside near the big speakers as well
I would recommend for the food taste and value, the location is good and food is tasty but the staff seems they were having hard time as none of them was smiling and approaching the tables with attitude. I understand they might be tired since the place was fully booked on 14th night. It’s worth giving them a second chance.
Very nice experience warm friendly atmosphere
Food was good, the restaurant has a decent selection of cuts for their churrascaria experience. The slow-cooked ribs were juicy and tasty, the lamb chops were amazing as well. We did find that the chicken options were a bit dry and not very flavorful.
The best part was the service, all the staff were extremely helpful and nice. We particularly enjoyed the conversation with one of the team members (Unfortunately, I did not catch his name, but I do remember he mentioned being from the South part of Brazil), he took great care of us and was always smiling and happy to interact.
We had a great time on Christmas’ eve. Ambience was lively. Staff and service were outstanding. Live music was perfect.
They were only missing “farofa” which it was a pittt for us Brazilians.
HI There - thank you for sharing your Christmas with us. We are glad you joined and hope you think of us in the future. Cheers
Over priced extremely
100 euro per person !
The dinner doesn’t justify the price
Hi there We are sorry that you feel the pricing is expensive. Clearly we did not deliver to you a great experience that would make you feel differently. For that we are sorry. I don't know if you have gone to other fine dining places in Dubai or DIFC. Had you done that I think you would have found our pricing competitive for the area. Regardless - we hear your point and will work to improve the experience. Thank you for the review.
First thing to share would be that Fogo de Chao is our MOST favorite restaurant in the world. We have been to at least 15 different Fogo locations across three different countries. And multiple times. Every time I land in Chicago from Abu Dhabi, for example, I first go to the Fogo location close to ORD. Everytime. So when I say or write something about Fogo, I do it from my heart.
After waiting for a long time, when Fogo opened in Dubai, my wife and I were very excited about it. Then we found out Fogo Dubai charges virtually double the price of Fogo in USA! What on earth!! How unfair is that?
We eventually managed to go there on December 8, 2019.
The food was just okay. The taste was NOT the same for most of the meats we received when compared with the US locations. For example, my most favorite item, the lamb chops, tasted like I was eating cilantro paste! The service seemed very slow even though the restaurant was virtually empty for a Sunday lunch time. We got served perhaps six kinds of meats/cuts. Not sure what happened to the rest, even though we did order the full experience. The servers were nice people though.
Unlike the US locations, here they charge you for water - 24 AED for an apparently large bottle - although that bottle seemed like a 330ml one.
Obviously, after about 30 minutes or so of slow service, and repeat meat cuts, we had enough. We thanked the servers, paid the bill, and left. Lucky for us, we had an Entertainer coupon that helped us with our bill. Otherwise we would have paid roughly $150 for lunch for two of us, as compared to roughly $60 in the U.S.
We always get many offers for our loyalty (e.g., $35 off for dinner) from the US Fogo, but none of them work in the ME locations.
So what is our sad conclusion? If you are Fogo fan, then do NOT go to this location in Dubai. And if you are new to Fogo, then sure, go there as you would have nothing to compare it with.
We are very saddened by our poor experience here.
Hi Raihan Thank you for the feedback. We are especially sorry for the quality and slow service you experienced - neither is acceptable to us and we are addressing with the team in the store. Regarding your comments on pricing and coupons. Prices are different in different location including in the US. Dallas is 199AED and New York is 272AED (with tax) Our taxes are double theirs and the meat costs more than 60% to import than the US. We are sorry for the experience and will do better.
Cibo buono ma estremamente caro e completamente fuori logica.
We are sorry that you found us to be expensive. Unfortunately Dubai is expensive for goods and rents and unfortunately that is reflected in pricing. The bigger issue for us is we did not perform in such way that would impress you. For that we apologize. Thank you for the review
Over priced similar places with better prices. The restaurant was not full it was Friday
Hi Adham I am not sure where you are comparing us to but we acccept the criticism. We are sorry that the experience was not better.
Was disappointing because when made reservation for 17:15 I believed I was making reservation to be seated in the restaurant. Did not or was not made aware that the restaurant did not open until 19:00. So we sat in the lounge with a bar type menu. Was very disappointed. So beware when making reservations.
Hi Lamido Thanks for your note. We are sorry for the mix-up. Normally when we have a phone number, we call back to verify understanding. I have spoken to the store team about this and should not happen again. Please accept our apologies
Excellent food, the meat was cooked for my taste, nice ambience and beautiful view
Hi there - thanks for the review and we are glad you enjoyed. We hope to see you again soon. Cheers.
My wife was eating vegan - management and service did a great job and helped to find many many options.
We will for sure come back! Thank you for this great Brunch!
Hi Thom We appreciate the review and are happy that you and your wife were able to enjoy. We are reviewing a number of options to help our Vegan guests enjoy Fogo more - please send us any thoughts you may have. Kind regards!
We did love all ! We liked the music but we felt a bit volume is too big.
Hi Yuka We will work with the band in the volume. Glad you enjoyed and we hope to see you again soon.
Never disappointed and make it a point to visit each time I pass through Dubai.
It is a very good Brazilian steakhouse, if you consider that all meet is imported from far away. I can recommend pichania and fraodzinha, and slow cooked ribs are also very good. Service is excellent for Dubai standards. View to Downtown Dubai and Burj Kalifa is outstanding, and you should go for short walk at the great terrace in front of the main entrance to the restaurant to make some very interesting selfies, especially in the dark hours.
They kept the place open for us which was fab.
It was AMAZING !!!! Staff was super helpful and attentive.
Lovely brunch, great meats - good drinks. Good band - but very loud.
Although the meat is outstanding, we had to ask several times to actually get it served and the market table felt poor with the cheapest ingredients.
