Columbus is about to get a taste of authentic Brazilian churrasco as Fogo de Chão prepares to open its first Ohio location at 1425 Polaris Pkwy, across from Polaris Fashion Place. Known for its fire-roasted meats, expert gaucho chefs, and lively dining experience, Fogo de Chão is set to become a premier dining destination in the area.
The new Columbus restaurant will feature an open churrasco grill, giving guests a full view of the gaucho chefs as they skillfully butcher, prepare, and grill high-quality cuts of meat over an open flame. This immersive experience highlights the artistry behind the traditional Brazilian cooking style. Designed to complement the vibrant Polaris community, the restaurant will offer a warm and inviting atmosphere where guests can enjoy an upscale yet approachable setting.
Beyond the expertly grilled meats, guests will find a seasonal Market Table, offering fresh salads and sides to complement their meal. The restaurant will also feature dry-aged meat lockers, where premium cuts are aged in-house for enhanced flavor and tenderness. The lively Bar Fogo area provides a relaxed space for those looking to enjoy smaller, shareable plates alongside handcrafted cocktails, making it an ideal spot for both casual and special occasions.
For those who want to bring the Fogo experience home, the restaurant offers To-Go and Catering options, featuring fire-roasted meats, Brazilian sides, and seasonal salads. Guests can also explore the Fogo Butcher Shop, where high-quality, ready-to-grill cuts are available for purchase.
A standout feature of the new Columbus location is its All Day Happy Hour, available in both Bar Fogo and the main dining room. Guests can enjoy $5 Brazilian beers, $8 South American wines, and $10 Brazilian-inspired cocktails throughout the day, making it a great place to unwind with friends or colleagues.
With self-parking and valet service available daily, Fogo de Chão is ready to bring its signature blend of hospitality, rich flavors, and culinary tradition to Columbus. Stay tuned for the official opening date and prepare for an unforgettable churrasco experience at Polaris.
