Fogo de Chao
Address: 4300 Belt Line Road
Addison, TX 75244
Telephone: 972-503-7300
Brazilian restaurant with some of the best food I've eaten in a while. They serve it Gaucho style, which means that there's no menu, the waiters wander around with big swords of different types of beef, sausage, poultry, etc. You have a little disc that's green on one side and red on the other. When you want more, turn the green side up and they'll parade by. Turn the red side up when you need a break.
Here's a review:
"Fogo de Chao, the beef lover's paradise, reopened its doors in January following extensive renovation. To accommodate the crowds, they've added a spacious waiting area next to the full bar, complete with leather chairs and a cozy fireplace.
The new, expanded wine cellar holds nearly 2,000 bottles of wine, while the elegant salad bar is a feast of fresh cut salads and vegetables, including hearts of palm, jumbo asparagus, smoked salmon, prosciutto of parma and much more.
Of course, some things stay the same, such as the restaurant's traditional Gaucho way of preparing meat. Part of Fogo de Chao's appeal is in its unique style of service; a trained staff of Gauchos prepare, cook and serve a selection of beef, poultry, pork and lamb, parading through the dining room with their swords to serve this Southern Brazilian cuisine.
Find out what the buzz is all about by visiting the restaurant yourself; you'll find it at 4300 Belt Line Road in Addison. For more information, call 972-509-7300."
Highly recommended.
