Fogo de Chão Brighton in Brighton and Hove

Disappointing. The quality of the meats was very bad, cuts were tough and dry and too salty. It doesn’t match the price tag at all. The place was quiet on a Saturday night, which is probably a reflection of high prices and substandard food, but it did make for a more peaceful atmosphere where you can actually hear your dinner companions talk. Service was good.

No kids menu??? The only menu available for kids is the buffet and only if the parent opts for the buffet as well, a buffet of £45+. There is no human that will ever consume a food worth nearly £50 and this restaurant is not michelin. I now read other comments where people are referring to £20 buffet, I wonder if the price is the same for all?

Very mixed experience, some of the cuts of meat were tougher than a shoe (picanha), which is disappointing as this is the main cut of meat you would go to a churrascaria for, some of the cuts where very good, like the lamb, the feijoada was also quite decent, but there was no pao de queijo or fried Polenta, like you normally would find in a place like this. The caipirinha cocktail tasted good, however there was barely any alcohol in it, which comes across as a bit deceitful, the brigadeirao did not taste like what brigadeiro tastes like at all, just seemed like normal chocolate, there was also no brahma beer, Brasil's national beer, this is normally always available in a churrascaria. The atmosphere was quite poor for what I have experienced in other churrascarias. Normally, you really get that brasillian vibe, with Brazilian music playing and a full lively restaurant, here it was the opposite, no Brazilian music playing and there were only around 3 or 4 tables taken, on a Friday night. All the tables were also small, sticky and wobbly. I have been to cheaper, and better, churrascarias, in Brasil, London and Manchester.

Amazing place right in the middle of Brighton just a 10 minute walk from the station the steak is amazing also the buffet is great aswell. They do a great variety of food from chips to fried banana!

Fantastic experience. We booked ahead of time and once we were in, it was very quick to serve ourselves from the buffet - no waiting around! I only wish I'd come hungrier, there's no shortage of declious food all around!

Terrible service. The meat rotation is not new. Old Meat. Absurd for the price I paid and the food was so bad.

Very cool concept where the staff comes by with skewers of different types of meat that you can eat unlimitedly. In addition, good quality and a delicious taste. Definitely recommended!

Absolutely fab experience on a busy Saturday night, the staff are so attentive and fun, the food is delicious and top marks for the Parmesan fillet which is out of this world! massive shoutout to the servers , EJ and Esme for their fantastic service , they are a credit to the business and we will be coming back because of them. Thank you again team!

Great food and drinks. My only issue is in the 2 hour sitting, some of the meats arrived only as we were leaving.

Good atmosphere, fine selection and excellent service. Good concept. If you are in Brighton, don't miss out on a trip here.

Best food I ever had was at this place . They have a buffet . And also keep bringing different meats round to your table which is delicious. Highly recommend this place . Friendly staff . Awesome food

Good and Bad! Food and service were amazing, however they tricked us with the Monday to Friday lunch deal; under small letters it says “soho price” so when we went to Brighton restaurant we had to pay more for what we thought was a deal

Food was good, but the staff was way to busy to serve all people and forgot orders. We got water bottles at the start but no water glasses until we were done eating and on our way out. 🤦‍♂️

The food was first class, not only quality selection on the meat, as much as you can eat but the selection of sides is very good and tasteful.

I took my partner for a birthday lunch here today (a Tuesday lunch time) and we couldn't fault it at all, not sure why there's so many bad reviews on here?! we literally couldn't even nit pick, the buffet and salad bar was really nicely presented and fresh and then the unlimited grilled meats kept coming over, £26.95 per person for lunch for so much delicious and fresh food is a bargain IMPO. I'd definitely come back here although not too soon or frequently because I'd be the size of a house😆but I definitely recommend it, ignore the bad reviews!

Quite possibly the worse meal I’ve ever eaten. The meat was all over cooked, buffet not the best-granted we was early evening but still you expect good value at £43 pp. Staff and the Super Bock were nice though.

No Brazilians serving, no Brazilian music plays, when you go to a Japanese restaurant people usually speak Japanese, and when you go to a Brazilian restaurant you want to feel the Brazilian vibe, and that's not what this restaurant has.

A very nice Brazilian restaurant but with limited variation of meats coming around.

Delicious food , if you like lemonade then I highly recommend their fresh lemonade it was unreal

Food was bad , everybody was very slow .. bad place overall .. don’t go !

Excellent food, friendly service ❤️ We were surprised there were no menus in Portuguese for our Brazilian friends, but no other complaints.

I've previously eaten at FDC in Washington and Dallas. Fair to say the franchise does no travel well. my Mojito contained not a trace of fresh mint just syrup and scored 2/20 (the bar person should be ashamed). All the meat was bland but in particular the pork was as over cooked and dry. The chicken thighs were hours away from being 'off' and all the meat was overly salty. I paid a lot of money for a very poor experience and for me the brand has been spoiled.

Hello reader. We ate lunch in Brazilian steakhouse. I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. It is advertised as all you can eat meat restaurant however at one point, they have stopped serving us meat. We don't really understand why because we still haven't finished. This was disappointing. The strong points are garlic beef and spicy chicken, which were delicious. I also liked the black beans and really good lasagne. There is a good choice of different salads and side dishes. The price per person is around 27£ with drinks. Try them for yourself.

Great place to eat, Buffet menu is well worth the price, to have the all you can eat meat go on week days as it is cheaper.

The selection of food was amazing, offering a diverse array of flavors and options. The meat was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. Definitely worth the price. Highly recommend

Awful dirty place sticky tables, food was ok service appalling n rude, asked for the bill several times and waitress acknowledged but still ignored us they weren't even busy only two others diners, we decided to leave and then was stopped n given a discount to insist we pay I should of refused AVOID!!!!!

Average quality cuts of meat very fatty and at times it feels like you're eating offal, has some things like beef neck certainly taste like a farmyard. They now put up prices to almost £45 on a Sunday. Not Realistic, no wonder it's always empty.

Excellent food and service, so many choices of meats... Delicious!!

Ottimo ristorante brasiliano che offre la soluzione “all-you-can-eat”. Vasta varietà di tipi di carni cucinato in differenti modi e un’ampia buffet di contorni sia caldi che freddi! Rapporto qualità/prezzo forse un po’ alto ma per la zona turistica in cui si trova diciamo che e’ comunque nella media! In posizione molto centrale!

Having been here several times and enjoying the great quality and range of meats, I took my family here this evening, we ate, turned the card over red, the guy coming around still served us, but no problem as my wife was hungry enough for more, my daughter took a larger portion than she could finish. No big deal I thought. When we came to pay, we asked for a box to take the leftover food home, to which they had a discussion and refused. The waitress then said "I take it you haven't read our new policy/leaflets on food waste? It's ok this time as you haven't seen it, we're trying to reduce food waste" What? I told them the ridiculousness in this in the fact we had asked for a box to take the food home in so it wasn't wasted. When I went to complain at the end I was told my daughter had hardly touched her food. Not really any of their business what my primary school age daughter decides to eat or not eat. Terrible service, incredibly rude treatment.

I wouldn’t recommend the restaurant First the meat wasn’t fresh and no taste second my partner just had a cold buffet as she’s vegetarian but they still charged her same as if she had a meat option really disappointed expensive for nothing not worth it

It’s a great place to have Brazilian buffet, I came with my Brazilian friend who really recommended this place, I trust her recommendation as Brazilian of course, and I liked this place, food is delicious and good price, it was 22.95 for traditional dishes buffet without drink, we both had 3 plates of food each, I felt so satisfied, service was good too.

Visited for lunch and had a blast. £20 for all you can eat buffet and regular meats to the table, delicious food. Manager/Owner checked on us twice and had a good chat about the band we were here to see. Friendly and the cocktails were great 🤘🤘

Absolutely delicious! Meats were unreal but you could live your best just off the buffet!

Friendly welcome. Great selection of hot and cold dishes on the Buffet. Meat was s bit hit and miss, but overall tasty. The chicken was rock hard and tasteless, but most other meats were pleasant. Meat does come around fairly quickly and can be a bit overwhelming unless you turn your card to red.

SPEECHLESS This is a culinary EXPERIENCE

What a nice food and place , I loved 🤍

A recommended place for meat lovers

I don't recommend it to anyone to go to Brighton fire, the buffet has no options it was cold, the staff are not receptive, and there were no meat options, I paid for the more expensive menu with all types and I didn't have that! I don't recommend it and I won't be back! I've been to other Fire Floor locations in England and I highly recommend them like the one in London, I loved that place from the reception to the buffet it doesn't even seem like the same company because the difference is huge!!! Money thrown away! With the ground fire of Brighton

We enjoyed this restaurant very much, good food and atmosphere.

Meat was tasty but once the servers had been round with 5 skewers bearing in mind they are slicing off very small peices of meat. We never see another meat server again. Very dissapointing, had more meat on a Sunday roast. Only had soft drinks and still came to nearly £100 for 2.sat there for nearly fifteen minutes with out any meat on the plate, hoping I'd fill up on the salad bar I presume. A fix If you ask me!

Worth the trip. Fantastic food. Recommended

The division of the meat rotation was very disorganized, I had to keep calling all the time, and the time I asked a white employee who was serving meat to tell the guy to bring picanha, he just looked at me with a look of total nausea and mockery like if I had played him as an employee, then someone else said that he was like that and didn't like Brazilians because he was Portuguese. What the hell are you doing working there? If you don't like it, look for another job instead of ruining someone's Sunday vibe. I wanted to get up and leave, I just didn't go because of my friend who was with me, who also had the same bad experience. The meat they sent only the already dried meat carcass, the rest of the meat, the flavor you really want. Anyone who is truly Brazilian and appreciates good meat will feel the difference, the only GOOD fire pit I've ever had in my life was in Dubai and Brazil, the one in London was horrible and the one in Brighton was even worse. (The girls at reception were very polite, but that's all)

Excellent food I can't eat milk products, but there are still a lot of options I been feeling full after lunch

I've been to similar restaurants that have much better service and better cooked food (all the steak was chewy) for less price. The jumps between price options isn't worth it. The steak was really disappointing, however the range of other hot food was good so I didn't want to mark less than 3 stars. But for the main appeal to be the steak, it's not good. Look out the service charge automatically added onto the bill!!! Had to ask for it to be took off and then it was questioned. I cannot stand it being automatically put on and then for it to be questioned, infuriating. You're already charging a lot, why are you automatically adding on a substantial tip? Overall not worth going to for a steakhouse, but if you have a lot of people who like different things, could be a good option.

Helena's expertise in curating the perfect salad bar experience was evident from the start. She had a lovely and beautiful smile. She guided me through the array of fresh salads, cheeses, and charcuterie with enthusiasm and precision, ensuring that each selection complemented the next. Her dedication to ensuring a memorable dining experience sets a standard of hospitality that is second to none, and I cannot wait to return for another unforgettable meal.

The staff is so friendly and the food delicious

do not go there the food is absolutely terrible it is cold and it is not worth the money. I honestly can't give it any stars at all because it is not worth any stars

eh it’s decent. nothing to go crazy about, wouldn’t go again but it’s not bad, just think there are better places :)

Cuts of meat are good and the salads and other sides are great. Can you please sort out a way to give the waiting staff tips when paying by card like other restaurants do. It’s not acceptable to say that tips can be paid on cash as not everyone keeps cash on them these days and it feels unfair that they’re missing out.

We had the best time ever. It was my partners first ever Brazilian steakhouse. I have a baby of 2.5 months old and they were all so hospitable and all the staff was amazing and just so lovely and sweet. Honestly the staff all was so kind. Molly: You were an absolute star, you were so wonderful and so kind. The food was very nice and very delicious. Everything was so fresh and hot. Thank you for having us it was one of the best experience we’ve had especially with a baby.

I liked the food and the atmosphere I even invited some friends to try the "all you can eat buffet " and sadly we weren't attended as expecting with the meat rounds. We paid the full price for 4 people and they need to improve in the service of meat . And some fruit in the buffet for the kids . Above all fairly good. The staff in the other hand where very friendly and very helpful 🙂

It was a Thursday night so it was quiet food was good and we got what we paid for

Guys I don't have any pictures because I've literally ate everything 🤩 super delicious food, feijão preto delicioso! From the meat to the shrimp everything was fresh and really tasty! The staff was super kind and always around to bring you the meat or anything you need. We asked for a Mocktail because it wasn't on the menu and the guy just asked us which flavours we like and I couldn't believe how good that drink was! Definitely recommend them in all aspects ❤️ vocês são maravilhosos, muito obrigada pelo vosso trabalho e profissionalismo 🫶

Amazing meal , havent got anything like this near us in Devon . Staff were also amazing ... well done to all

It's a big restaurant so vibe can be varied depending on time of visit but the meat is absolutely excellent! Go hungry & take your time to get the most out of your money!

Very kind and smiling servers, good food, wide selection of salads and sides and tasty hot dishes as part of the salad bar. Thank you guys!

We love it here, it's our favourite restaurant in Brighton by a mile! If you love meat, you will love this restaurant. It's like heaven! The meat is beautiful, I prefer medium rare so I ask for the rarer cuts. The staff are amazing and always happy to bring out your favourite meats on request. Partner loves pepper steak he ends up with 6 lots haha. It's awesome. You won't regret it!

Delicious food and plenty of it, great customer service.

Well worth the money, so much high quality meat options offered you never run out of food untill you are ready to stop. I love the little cards that say if you want to be offered more meat or not as there was so much I needed to turn over to catch up clearing my plate. Highly recomend if you are a steak lover as you can try all the different cuts.

Wonderful food and super service from all the staff, especially Marcela. I recommend

I came in here last Sunday! and the service and food was phenomenal. The waitress was really sweet and she told me her name was Marta when i asked and the food was delicious. whenever i come back to brighton this restaurant will be first stop!!

Always amazing food . Staff always happy and efficient .

Excellent choice loads to eat and very good service. Well located and within easy walking distance of the town centre. Also close by the beach, bars and restaurants

On January 22 we were having lunch at this restaurant. "Fogo de Chão", the attendants were friendly, the food very good. Everything delicious. I recommend to all Brazilians who are strolling and willing to taste Brazilian food in London.

Excellent evening Food was exceptional All the meats so well cooked & tasted excellent Salad bar had very wide selection Guys who serve were very attentive, as soon as you displayed your green card they were there

Service is excellent, most of the food is good specially black pepper beef is my favourite, just some of the meat is a bit too salty. Will go back for sure

I didn’t manage to eat here, which is a shame: I chose a table that felt right to sit in and was told that wasn’t a table I could sit in. That didn’t feel very accommodating or welcoming. So I left.

Food and service are great, it honestly is my go to place! I need more protein in my life 😊 When it comes to atmosphere it's okay but because I'm not too big a fan of Brightons night life, the restaurant had massive windows to display that.

Our favourite restaurant in Brighton We always come here for lunch when we visit Brighton The different selection of meats are tasty and there’s a large selection of food from the buffet Staff are nice too

The quality of the meat was terrible

Waitress was lovely and friendly. The table was incredibly sticky and made me question the cleanliness of the restaurant. Food was plentiful and well priced but not all that was on the menu was brought out. There was a lot on the salad bar. The cocktails were a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall it was fine but we wouldn’t return.

Amazing meats and salads. Great service. Fully reecommend.

I paid £85 to eat shockingly bad meat (2 people). I didn't expect excellent quality for a buffet, but definitely something that justified the £31 with no drink or pudding included, and a service charge of £10. The meat is too salty to hide the fact that it's cheap and possible recently expired. The salads, which could easily be better, are basic and with the cheapest ingredients you can imagine (the cheese board is almost a joke). And the sauces! Not one of them is homemade. Not one! You get mustard, ketchup, caesar, mayo, French dressing, BBQ and the sort. That's it. If you don't like food, this is your place!

A nice and cozy place... excellentnfood Worth every pound

Was a bit concerned of trying this place after reading negative reviews from Google. But you never know until you personally try. Their meat quality was amazing, wide selection of side dishes! I will definitely visit this place again soon.

Came in for a late lunch at the weekend. Having not visited for a few years, I was surprised to see how little has changed: the same tired food, dirty toilets, scary handrails on the stairs and an almost complete lack of atmosphere. I'm sure this place was great during its hey day but now? Give the price point you're better off going somewhere else.

This is the worst ever steak house ever , don’t choose the premium meal which is including prawns because you will get 2 or 3 pieces every 30 minutes or more , trust me they just keep offering you beef only or chicken hearts . We booked from 6pm-9pm , last 10 minutes before we go they offered us Halloumi Cheese and the whole time just offering beef no prawns at all and if you will get , you will get maximum 3 pieces every minimum 30 minutes !!!!! It’s just wasting money for poor food 😡😡😡

Me and my partner throughly enjoyed our experience! The Caprinha pitcher was great but the food was incredible! I have read a lot of the reviews below and it seems that the service has taken note as many times we got asked at our table have we tried all the meats and is there any we still would like too or if we would like anymore. My only note is that me and my partner were sat basically on the end of a big family table and it was pretty empty when we got there it would of been nice to have more privacy. Also I was surprised to see a couple come in with their dog sat on the table pretty much too which for such a lovely restaraunt thought was a bad look. Overall I am very happy with the service and the quality of what we received having got the premium option too.

Great selection of meats and salad fully enjoyed myself

Loved it, reasonably priced great choice at the buffet and the meat is served at your table side continuously until you ask them to stop. Good light Brazilian beer to go with your meat. Meat was cooked nicely, to please all preferences. Definitely worth a visit if you are spending a day in Brighton. Very filling.

Great food but poor service. Had to order same things twice. Had to chase for drinks etc... On Friday night place was almost empty - 2 or 3 tables in addition to ours. But the meats were great, perfectly cooked.

Only 4-5 tables were taken on the Friday night yet the service was awful. We had to remind them 2-3 times about our orders: water came after 3 reminders, wine - after 2. Ran out of beer, ran out dessert. There were loads of staff but mainly just standing there! Very badly managed place. Absolutely zero decor for a Latin American steak house. No music. Won’t go again and won’t recommend to anyone.

Absolutely loved it,staff were friendly,how they carve your meats I've never seen before,the buffet is enough for anyone

Took my son and his Girlfriend here at his request as he lives local just moved here and wanted to try it. Ordered 4 time premium meals and it really went downhill from there. I think it was the manager night off as the staff did not seem that interested in certainly didn't get offered more drinks etc. We had to ask for items on premier menu which seemed to come out begrudgingly The final straw was another. Patron ( to be polite) seated right next to us who clearly stank of urine we decided to vacate the restaurant. I was too embarrassed to complain and make a fuss on night but refused to pay the service charge added on my 200 pound bill for 4. I went in the following day to personally complain the manager wasn't in but the staff member who was very nice promised to get the manager to follow up and ring my son as I had to get flight back to Australia. that day. he or She did not ring. An appalling way to treat customers esp as I have to now visit Brighton 2-3 time a year guys you have plenty of competition you won't stay in business long like this

Service was good, buffet was good meat was not. It Was hit and miss, some meat definitely had a taste/twang, it wasn't that fresh, Prawns and picanha were lovely. Would I go again.... No

Absolutely brilliant. You need to pace yourself. The whole experience is fantastic!

A meat lovers must in Brighton.

Underwhelming and overpriced didnt get 2/3 of the meats promised on the premium menu and when we spoke to the waitress she came back from the kitchen and said sorry they said you did, nothing i can do. So alot of money for overcooked meats, food missing and staff that tells lies . Very dissapointed

Underwhelming to say the least We ordered the premiere menu and got 1/3 of the food on the menu that was promised. When we spoke to staff there was nothing they would do because we had had some of the meats on the menu that was labelled more premium but only 1/4 of the total selection. They even brought some of the cheaper overcooked cuts around to the table twice. Very unhappy customer that never leaves a bad review for restaurants and usually leaves happy This time i cannot recommend this place to anyone and umderstand why it was empty when we got there and fpr the whole time we sat there.

Nice restaurant, food was decent quality. Generally good experience

The food has gone south! Used to be excellent but on my last visit we had raw food and they gave us a refund. Would not go again.

Went for the premium selection, definitely wasn't disappointed. Good value for money.

Horrible place! No atmosphere, the service was diabolical. We opted for the vegetarian option which includes only the buffet which contains some meats. This was only lukewarm at best. They were obviously short staffed as you had you try and grab a waitress as they passed. Another couple were seated after us and served before us. Took 15 minutes to get the bill which included a service charge! We asked for this to be removed which they did. We were only in Brighton for a Michael McIntyre concert because we couldn’t get tickets for Bournemouth, will not be in a hurry to return to either this restaurant or Brighton, place was unbelievably scruffy.

They literally sent me feijoada with no rice!!! What a disaster of order. Never felt so humiliated to have to call and complain cos they never sent rice! Never again!!

Lugar excelente para matar a vontade e a saudade da melhor comida do mundo (a brasileira)! Vale a pena ir

The food was amazing and made our trip worthwhile as it was only a short break

The food was great as always however the staff looked very disengaged. There was only 1 waiter that seemed upbeat and really engaged
