March 14 2017 - 11:37AM
Today Fogo de Chão debuts three significant menu enhancements,
taking guests on a captivating culinary adventure through Southern
Brazil without leaving the comfort of their table or bar seats. As
part of the Brazilian steakhouse’s largest bar innovation since it
arrived stateside nearly 20 years ago, Bar Fogo – a casual
alternative for guests looking to enjoy the Brazilian art of
churrasco – now features an expanded menu that includes a refined
array of new Brazilian Bites, Brazilian-inspired craft cocktails
and South American wines. Coupled with an enriched Bar Fogo Happy
Hour program at attractive price points, these two enhancements
perfectly complement Fogo’s new spring menu additions that include
seasonal salads and soup.
