Happy Hour at Fogo de Chão

When I think about Fogo de Chão, the Brazilian steakhouse, I think about it’s reputation as a meat lovers destination. With almost a dozen skewers of lamb, beef, pork and chicken being carried through the dining room, my previous visit to Fogo de Chão resulted in a “meat coma”, borderlining the “meat sweats”. But, rest assured, if you are looking for a “lighter” experience or perhaps you are not in the mood for an intense meat-filled meal, you can still enjoy the flavors of Fogo de Chão at their Happy Hour. Happy Hour, offered Monday through Friday from 4:30-6:30pm, not only offers Brazilian-inspired small plates but also at a special price! Check out what’s available: Warm Hearts of Palm and Spinach Dip – Served with crispy toasts, it’s a creamy, filling dish that is great to share with friends.

They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and complemented by the malagueta (a Brazilian chili) aioli.
