0A STORIES THE EXPERIENCE SEND

The Experience, Emeryville: Bay St Emeryville New Opening

The Experience:

Discover the culinary art of Churrasco cooking!

Step into the old home of P.F. Chang’s and you will see that the open grill and fire-roasted meats are central to the new FOGO DE CHÃO experience. Fans’ favorites include Bone-In Ribeye, Lamb Chops and the house specialty, Picanha, the prime part of the top sirloin, representing the art and science of churrasco cooking.

Founded in Southern Brazil in 1979, Fogo elevates the centuries-old cooking technique of churrasco – the art of roasting high-quality cuts of meat over an open flame – into a cultural dining experience of discovery. They offer a range of menu selections and prices for lunch and dinner, giving their guests many choices.

Experience the Market Table and Feijoada Bar, a colorful palate of fresh and flavorful ingredients inspired by Brazilian farmlands and recipes that are traditional staples of Southern Brazilian cuisine. Seasonal salads and soup, fresh vegetables, imported charcuterie and more. Menu items also include lighter classic seafood dishes with a Brazillian twist.

Your meats are served up by their gaucho chefs tableside and if you are seated near the open grill, you will be amazed by the currasco cooking technique. But remember, there would be no churrasco without picanha!

Bonus: Happy Hour all day long! Guests can enjoy $10 Brazilian-inspired cocktails, $8 glasses of South American wines and $5 Beer all-day every day, in the dining room, patio and bar. The bar offers an elevated experience with a warm, timeless design and dedicated bar staff designed to allow guests to linger while enjoying smaller, shareable plates like a Picanha Burger or Shrimp Tacos.
