The story

Fogo de Chão Elmhurst | Authentic Brazilian Steakhouse in Queens

Fogo de Chão in Elmhurst, Queens

At Fogo de Chão in Elmhurst, the centuries-old culinary art of churrasco is alive and well. This Brazilian steakhouse brings the traditions of Southern Brazil to Queens, offering a dining experience centered on fire-roasted meats and a vibrant Market Table.

The story begins in the mountainous landscapes of Rio Grande do Sul, where the founders grew up on a traditional farm learning the churrasco grilling technique. That heritage, rooted in an obsessive dedication to quality, defines every meal here. The Elmhurst location continues this legacy, inviting guests to feel the heat of a culinary tradition that has been burning since 1979.

The Full Churrasco Experience

Dining here is a rhythmic affair. Gaucho chefs circulate the dining room with skewers of fire-roasted cuts, carving them tableside. The experience is complemented by a freshly curated Market Table and authentic Brazilian sides. For a deeper dive, guests can explore the Founders Tribute Wine Collection, featuring wines like the Jorjão Reserva Malbec, which pairs beautifully with the restaurant’s signature Picanha (Prime Part of the Top Sirloin), or the Eulila Red Blend, ideal for savory dishes like the Lamb Picanha and Dry-Aged Tomahawk.

This commitment to quality extends to the wine program, which earned Fogo de Chão a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. Whether you are enjoying a full churrasco dinner or exploring seasonal offerings like the Fogo Four Course, the focus remains on the vibrant energy of freshly prepared, fire-kissed food.
