We had a nice experience, the wait staff was very friendly and helpful. They have a decent size salad bar to graze. The tiny cheesy bread and cooked bananas were yummy.

Response from the owner

Renee, thanks for sharing this upbeat feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the friendly team, the Market Table, and those pão de queijo and caramelized bananas, and we hope to welcome you again soon.

Authentic Brazilian 🇧🇷 Experience...Good food and drinks reasonably priced. Try not to fill up on sides while tempting fill you up too fast. Best enjoyed when you go with a group.

This restaurant is highly recommended. We want to thank the wonderful staff for greeting us with such warmth especially our waiter who took such great care of us. Unfortunately, we forgot his name, but he was extremely polite, helpful.We were celebrating my father-in-law’s birthday with a group of six, and making a reservation was definitely the right move it’s highly recommended for larger groups.<br><br>We did the full Churrasco experience, and the meat was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. They also have a salad bar, and everything there was made fresh and tasted amazing as well.We had the lava cake, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended.

I went there with my brother during our trip to NYC. Wonderful experience — I loved the place and the food. If you ask for the chocolate dessert, it’s a delicacy. The best dessert I’ve ever tried!

Response from the owner

What a joy to read, Fortuna! We’re thrilled you loved your visit and that the chocolate dessert stood out as a favorite, and we can’t wait to welcome you back on your next trip!

Feeling hungry after a nice stroll at the MoMA? Well, directly across the street from the museum is Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse. Just because it's a steakhouse in mid-town Manhattan doesn't mean you have to break the bank. Fogo has one thing on the menu that should fit the bill: Market Table & Feijoada Bar. OYCE for $20 if you come during their lunch hours which are 11:30-3pm during weekdays and 11:30-2pm on weekends.<br><br>The salad bar was splendid. I must have sampled at least 90% of their offerings. Everything was so colorful, delish and healthful, making me relatively guilt-free while committing gluttony. There were so many recipes I rarely have the opportunity to experience, yet here they were - all at the same bar. I particularly enjoyed the roasted zucchini, pickled tomato, greens with roasted pears, and persimmons.<br><br>For those who require animal protein, smoked salmon and chicken salad were available, as well as pork at the Feijoda bar. Speaking of which, I wasn't a fan of that section. The Feijoda was too salty while the lentil soup was too bland.<br><br>The ambiance was elegant and staff were professional. There were a few issues for me personally: none of the staff replenishing the food spoke English, they had to correct my bill twice, and the person who answered my call was scripted and mechanical - I might as well talk to a bot.

Response from the owner

David, thank you for the vibrant recap of your visit after MoMA. We’re glad the Market Table stood out with colorful favorites like the roasted zucchini, pickled tomato, greens with pears, and persimmons, and we appreciate your remarks about the elegant ambiance and our team. Your notes on Feijoada and lentil soup seasonings, the billing corrections, phone experience, and communication with the replenishment team have been noted by us for follow-up. We hope to welcome you again soon for more Market Table discoveries and churrasco. Best

Overall: Would recommend, might revisit. 7/10<br>1. The food is all right, the salad bar got a lot of fruits which is very nice, there’re wide variety of meats to choose from some of them are amazing but some of the meat is either extremely salty or dry or chewy.<br>2. Hospitality is on point all the waiters and waitresses respectful and provides good services.<br>3. Place is huge and cozy, cleaned and organized, very noisy but other than that it’s fine.<br><br>-sawa

I made a reservation and the lady made me wait an hour and put me on the waiting list. I got angry and went to ask her why she had me on the waiting list when I had a reservation confirmation<br>The food is excellent, the clericot is excellent, my dad loves the variety of food and papaya. My husband loves chicken legs, I loved the basil dressing, the potato salad, the beans and the variety of meat they have. We didn’t order dessert because we were super full.<br><br>Definitely my favorite place to eat Brazilian food in NYC 🗽I definitely go back to this place

This place is excellent! The meat is perfectly cooked and the staff is amazing! They are very fast and friendly—especially Pablo; he was great as our waiter. We rated the meat cuts and concluded that the pork belly was the best! It is super tasty; the ribeye and picanha were great too!<br>​It is very elegant, perfect for a date or dining with the family

Response from the owner

We appreciate the amazing shoutout and are glad you enjoyed the cuts and Market Table! Derek, thank you for highlighting Pablo and sharing your favorites like the pork belly, ribeye, and picanha, and we hope to welcome you again soon.

Fogo de Chao - New York, New York - is becoming one of my favorite Brazilian restaurants. I attended a Pediatric conference at the Hilton, and during the lunch break, I went to Fogo de Chao. My experience there really stuck with me; the Manhattan location is neck-and-neck with the Ipanema restaurant that closed. The atmosphere and service made the meal memorable, and sharing that personal moment makes me think it could bring similar joy to others. There is nothing like being served by a Brazilian waiter. Of course, he knew that I have Portuguese/Brazilian ethnicity. He did the typical Latino thing when your elders tried to get you to speak your native language. Of course, I mispronounced a few words, which he corrected. It was too cute...lol.<br><br>I ordered the Market Table & Feijoada Bar and added one meat. Of course, I had a caipirinha, which was great!. The waiter brought me some mashed potatoes, plantains, and yucca fries. How did he know I like plantains and yucca fries?..lmao<br>.<br>I did not have enough time for dessert; I was only allowed 1.5 hr for lunch. So, I briskly walked back to the Hilton, and of course, someone else was sitting in my seat. However, my lunch was worth the trouble of being misplaced. I spent $60.00 for lunch.<br><br>On the second day of the conference, where did I have lunch? Can you guess?

Response from the owner

Hedda, your story made our day, and we’re thrilled our Manhattan restaurant became a favorite during your conference break! We appreciate your kind words about the atmosphere, service, Market Table, feijoada, your caipirinha, and the added sides that hit the spot. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope your next visit gives you time for dessert too!

10/18/2025 - First time visiting this Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse in New York City with family and friends. Two level restaurant. The main entrance offers a decorative bar and lounge area with dim lighting in the evening. There is also outdoor seating to the left of the main entrance. Nice looking bar with mounted televisions for your entertainment. The lower level is the dining area that welcomes special occasions with stellar service, comfortable table seating for various dining sizes, and the inviting food bar towards the kitchen area. I ordered the Frango (Chicken)Experience and it was delicious. Throughout our dinner we were offered a few samples of breads, cheeses, and cocktails. Our servers were amazing.<br>Thank you. Nearby parking garage for a fee. Free street parking is available but difficult to find. Enjoy!

Response from the owner

Miguel, your first visit sounds fantastic, and we appreciate you sharing such thoughtful highlights about the ambiance, Market Table, and your Frango Experience! We’re thrilled your servers made the evening special and that the shared bites and cocktails hit the spot, and we hope to welcome you and your group again soon; if you plan to return, join Fogo Rewards for member perks at https://fogodechao.com/fogorewards/.

Amazing meat quality for the all you can eat menu. The buffet is also very diverse from beans to rice to fruits to cheese… not only did they have the steak cuts, they also had fried cheese with honey and Brazilian cheese bread. They just keep coming with more of those cheese bread whenever you run out. Atmosphere is great with dim light and moderate noise. They will ask you if you want specific cuts once you’ve tried them all.

Response from the owner

Michelle, we appreciate your fantastic 5-star feedback and loved hearing how the Market Table variety, churrasco cuts, and pão de queijo stood out for you! We hope to welcome you again soon, and if you enjoy visiting often, Fogo Rewards can add perks to your next experience: https://fogodechao.com/fogorewards/.

Fogo de Chão was absolutely incredible! The staff were so friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish, and the whole atmosphere was lively and welcoming. Everyone around us seemed to be having a great time, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable.<br><br>The Market Table alone is amazing, full of fresh, colorful, and delicious options that you could easily make a full meal from. But The Churrasco Experience takes it to another level. The variety of meats is unbelievable, and as soon as you flip your card to green, the staff are right there with new, perfectly cooked selections. Everything was so flavorful and tender.<br><br>We also loved the drinks, and one of the unexpected highlights was this incredible grilled cheese and honey combination they bring around. It was truly unforgettable, along with several other sides and bites that kept coming, all adding up to an amazing dining experience.<br><br>Considering the quality, variety, and service, The Churrasco Experience is an outstanding value. I can’t wait to come back and bring friends here when they visit. Perfect for a date night, a meal with friends, or even a larger group. Highly recommend!
