What to order at Fogo de Chão
Best bet: Grilled meats and the salad bar, light on the sides
Approach
- The meats are the easiest part of this menu — mostly protein, little carbohydrate
- Leaner cuts of beef, chicken and pork rather than the processed options
- Go light on the sides; most are starch-heavy
Good choices
- Grilled meats — filet mignon, picanha, chicken breast, pork tenderloin
- Seafood — salmon, shrimp, scallops
- Salads — house, Caesar, spinach
- Sides — steamed or roasted vegetables, avocado
Worth skipping
- Fried items
- Mashed potatoes, rice and pasta
- Sugary drinks
