The delicious sides are small, but this is common of meat focused restaurants. Do try the portabella mushroom appetizer. I drink wine almost exclusively, but they had some craft gin (Brockmans) with some proper tonic (Fever Tree, which I will try to find in the States) that I had to taste (ok, then I switched to wine). The service is friendly and the music is on point. I ended up stopping by once more for lunch, where they had €12 lunch plates (incredible ribs). Even for dinner, I think this place is reasonably priced. And I am comparing to Lisbon, not to pricey Los Angeles. This is the best steak house in the area. I no longer have to drive to Lisbon for proper meat while in Portugal!

The ambiance was inviting, with warm lighting and a vibrant atmosphere that buzzed with conversation--perfect for unwinding after a long day. I was greeted warmly and seated at the bar--my favorite spot. Within minutes, I had a glass of wine, and the server guided me through the menu with excellent recommendations. The best part? You can choose your steak cut right before ordering, adjusting it to your appetite. The staff, including the chef, were incredibly friendly and engaging, adding to the welcoming vibe.

They carefully select each piece of meat at its origin.

There are dishes that, for the quality of their flavor, origin, and preparation, conquer a place on our table. We are talking about our irresistible meats and, of course, every full-bodied sauce and accompaniment they are served with.

My husband ordered…read morethe Terrazza combination steak medium and they came out the proper temperature... maybe even a little more rare. However, when he bit into it... he kept on chewing. Both steaks were tough. The peppercorn sauce was delicious. The potato puree was similar to paste in texture along with the creamed spinach. I ordered the Argentinian steak and that too was rather tough but jute flavor of salt and pepper on the grill made it edible. Needless to say we were disappointed in our meal. The ambiance had something to be desired. The outdoor furniture was falling apart and was not what we had anticipated. We were the only people in the restaurant at 5:00pm and then two more couples came in while we were there...

We stopped here during a day of sailing around the city, and it was a good one. Our servers were charming, a little on the older side (our main man forgot to open the wine until I reminded him - I never forget the wine), and didn't speak very much English. That said, we were perfectly happy to point at all the things we wanted on the menu: Tuna tartare. Salad. Clams. Seafood pasta. Grilled octopus. And the thing that we could've stuck with, and gotten nothing else: grilled fish. We went with the dorade and the seabass, but if fish is this fresh and they grill it this well, it doesn't matter. Just order it, let them adorn it with lemon and salt, and enjoy. Those tiny clams are always a winner, the octopus was excellent, and the tuna was forgettable, but grilled fish is what you want here. Get it, and rejoice.

I'm skipping the education on what a rodizio is. Presumably you know that already. That said, Fogo de Chão offers 5 menu options: 1) Buffet only: €11 2) Mini-rodizio - no beef: €16 3) Traditional rodizio: €19 4) Special rodizio - only beef: €22 5) Executive rodizio - "Our signature steak, picanha represents the art and science of churrasco cooking. Lightly seasoned with rock salt and sliced thin, it is tender with a robust flavor.": €25 I opted for the traditional. (Why I didn't spend €6 more for the executive, I don't know. I'll just say I was overwhelmed.) I had some sausages that were decent, not great. I skipped on any chicken that came my way. My first beef encounter was not very good. I don't know what it was and due to a language barrier, the gaucho couldn't tell me either. He just kept saying it was "beef!" I had about 5 different cuts. The last, and again, I have no idea what it was, was mouth-watering. My wife had the buffet and I did venture to it for some samples. Neither of us were impressed by it. We still highly recommend Fogo de Chão in Cascais, though, if you're a meat eater. Where else can you get unlimited steak for €25 or unlimited meat in general for €19?

Thankfully our friends were kind enough to pay for it :-) So, have cash if you're a tourist. Their specialty is called "Naco na Pedra" which roughly translates to "Chunks on a Stone." We ordered that and were very satisfied. Your meat (chicken, beef or pork) comes to you raw and you cook it on a granite stone heated by burners. The meats were perfectly seasoned and cooking was a breeze. They also have a great variety of appetizers (petiscos) if you want to snack in advance. We also ordered Siricaia and Flan for dessert!

A surprisingly good restaurant for such a touristy location!…read more We stopped there because it was one of the best-looking spots near the popular Carcavelos beach, about mid-afternoon. Given how touristy the location is, we didn't have the greatest expectation, but we were pleasantly surprised. First of all, the service was impeccable. While not native speakers, when it came to food and service servers could speak and understand a great English and were very helpful when it came to helping out with the choice of drinks and food. The passionfruit sangria is the signature of the location and came in absolutely ginormous glasses, when ordered on a by-glass fashion (while still being reasonably priced). Not only was it refreshing, it was also surprisingly delicious for such a spot. For starters, we both went with gazpacho soup. While not authentic, it felt right for the weather and how we felt. Once again, it was extremely tasty and looked great! For the main dish, I took a whole-roasted fish (sea bass I believe) and once again, I was amazing. It was tender, it was well-seasoned, it was fresh, it was delicious and it came with a great seasoned olive sauce and baking potatoes. A really great example of the amazing seafood one can find in Portugal! My partner however was not as lucky. The crevettes skewer was lackluster and lacked any sauce or seasoning, while the crevettes were overcooked and rolled in flour prior to cooking, giving them a specific and not a very pleasant texture. Now, the desert - I went with a chocolate mousse - kept the whole trend of the culinary excellence going and was both chocolaty and delicious to the maximum. Overall, a great location, and if you are in the area, this place is definitely worth a visit!
