The story

Fogo de Chão New Orleans | Brazilian Steakhouse on Canal Street

The Fire of Churrasco on Canal Street

Fogo de Chão brings the culinary art of churrasco to New Orleans, serving the vibrant, fire-roasted tradition that began in the mountainous landscapes of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in 1979. The founders, who grew up on a traditional Southern Brazilian farm, learned the churrasco grilling style that remains the backbone of every meal. Today, the New Orleans location on Canal Street continues that legacy, offering the full churrasco experience: gaucho-chefs carve an endless rotation of signature meats tableside, from Picanha and Fraldinha to Wagyu cuts.

Guests are invited to pair their meal with a selection from the restaurant’s Wine Spectator Award of Excellence-winning wine list. For those looking to explore further, the Bar Fogo concept introduces Brazilian-inspired small plates and cocktails that complement the steakhouse experience. The Market Table, described by the restaurant as fresh and vibrant, rounds out the meal with seasonal salads, sides, and soups.

Whether you come for a limited-time four-course menu or the classic rodizio, Fogo de Chão keeps the fire ready—a place where the tradition of churrasco meets the energy of New Orleans.
