Brazilian churrasco, carved tableside on George Street
Fogo de Chão Edinburgh brings the Brazilian tradition of churrasco to the heart of the city, just moments from Princes Street on George Street. Served rodízio-style, the experience centres on continuous tableside service: succulent cuts of prime meat, expertly butchered, seasoned and grilled, then carved by gaúchos as they come to your table. The refined, contemporary space and warm, South American hospitality make it as much an experience as a meal.
What to order
The heart of the meal is the array of cuts — tender beef and lamb, juicy pork and chicken — all grilled to perfection and brought continuously to your table, complemented by the Market Table of fresh salads and Brazilian-inspired sides. For a more tailored visit, the Single Cut Churrasco lets you savour one expertly prepared cut, while the signature Indulgent Cuts feature the finest, most luxurious selections.
Who it’s for
This is a great choice for meat lovers, celebrations and group dinners, where the continuous service and generous spread make for a sociable, feast-like occasion. The fresh salad bar also gives lighter eaters plenty of options.
The space
The dining room is polished and contemporary — dark wood, leather and low lighting — with gaúchos in constant motion between the tables and the glow of the grill at the heart of it. Bar Fogo at the front pours caipirinhas and South American wines, an easy place to start or finish the evening.
