Best Brazilian Restaurants In Washington Near Me

JennyLovesGogi 제럽고 (제니럽스고기): Especially, the lamb was fantastic.They provide fresh salad, salmon, soup, and fruits at the self corner.And they gave us a fantastic cheesecake for our birthday! 💯💯Thank you for nice food and service!

Morgan: Fantastic service. The employees here really work well as a team. The food is always great. I took my boyfriend here when we first started dating and he loved it. Took him again along with my grandparents, who were in town visiting… I didn’t tell our server, but we were also celebrating my grandma being cancer-free. Our server went out of his way to give my grandma a free dessert that said “Welcome to DC” (see picture)… That was really nice. Thanks for many great experiences.

Steffon Greatness: Danie Magalhes & Staff are super accommodating. They understand customer service. Daniel kept a smile on his face as if he wanted to be at work. The Service, QUICK, Efficient, & Friendly. It’s as if they want you to ask question. 🤣 The Food, Fresh, Hot, Tasty❗️I’ve been to hole in the wall Brazilian spots and I’ve been to Texas de Brazil… the food tastes better thank all of those I’ve experienced. Pro Tip, They get busy quick, they have a full dining area. Tables fit 2, 4 & round tables that must fit about 8. They fill up pretty quick. (And this was a Thursday) Try the bottom steak & lamb. It’s the best. I wasn’t a fan of the beer marinated chicken however it wasn’t bad. Last thing get the soda in the picture it’s AMAZING. I want a case of them lol. *** Please mark this helpful if it helped you***

Naturally E: The food and service was top notch! I really enjoyed all of the selections & the quality of the meat. The market table was my favorite! Soooo many options to choose from. The drinks were fantastic! Surprisingly, they have Happy Hour all day! Our server, Ryan, was ahhhmazing! He was super cool! Really enjoyed our meal.

John Kurton: Great place for meat lovers. Great quality meats and good size cuts just kept on coming. The salad bar was great too. Some how even managed to find room for dessert.

Autumn Bishop: We went for the first time for my birthday, everything was amazing. Our server Denzel was overall a 10/10 super attentive even though it was crazy busy he made sure our needs were met and even offered to have specific meats brought to us if we hadn’t tried them yet. He also had great recommendations and accommodations. The food was all fantastic. We will be definitely coming back the next time we are in DC !!

Merissa Pemberton: Holy hell this place was seriously fantastic! The atmosphere was relaxing and made for a great intimate/romantic dinner. Camila made sure we had a great anniversary celebration. She recommended multiple dishes on the menu - all of which were extremely delectable. She also had assistance from another woman working at the restaurant who’s name I unfortunately do not remember but also provided incredible service. This was our first time but will not be our last. You can’t go wrong with any item and please order the passionfruit mousse with the Brazil liquor poured on top! Camila clearly deserves recognition and a raise based on our experience alone.

REL VS: Great food. Authentic Brazilian place. The Bobo de Camarao (Shrimp Stew) and the caipirinhas are the best

Nicole Farnsworth: Absolutely fantastic experience. My girlfriend is from Brazil and we both really wanted for me to try all the food she’s been telling me about for so long… this was the only restaurant whose menu she approved in the area. From the moment we arrived, the manager was super friendly and talked to us personally quite a few times, and all the service was very friendly and prompt. We both got the brunch three course meal, and every single thing we got was was FANTASTIC. My girlfriend told me it was EXTREMELY authentic and the best Brazilian food she’s had in the US. I’ve never had Brazilian food, but it was some of the tastiest food I’ve had in a while PERIOD. Cannot recommend this restaurant any more highly.

Lindsey Stiles: We had been walking by this place for years and then finally decided to try it, and we are so glad we did! Such delicious food, highly recommend!

Natasha Hansen: Delicious!! Great drinks and small plates. The spicey sausage and yuka was a must try! Friendly service and good amount of outdoor seating. Can’t wait to go back!

Ron Costigan: Delicious food and drinks. Family owned business. Friendly staff

J Riva: My boyfriend and I were excited to try this place out! As we entered a waiter was walking by almost wanting to ignore me until I said “Hello! I have a reservation!” He gave me a dirty look and saw my reservation on his tablet and then looked at us and said “are you Brazilian?” I thought it was weird but I said “No were Hispanic” then he proceeded to talk to us in Spanish which we didn’t mind. The interaction was just weird. The SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE. We waited a long time just to get our drinks. We didn’t actually have a waitress it was a different person every time that came to our table. We were asked if we were Brazilian 2 more times after that. The food was mediocre and I regret spending my money and time at this place. Save yourself and go somewhere else

Marli Yamada DeCarvalho: Moved the Food In general! The picanha, pastel, Cheese Valls, Chicken croquetes and All deserts are very classic traditional to the Brazilian cousin! Well done

J C: After reading all the good recommendations I decided to show our “authentic” Brazilian food to my partner. It was a disaster since we arrived. Not flavor at all in the coxinhas, Pastel or bolinho de bacalhau, and same for the main dishes , Just oil flavor. The fried fish dish and the feijoada was even worse and cold, but we were the only ones in the restaurant, is not that they were busy busy. As u can see for yourself, the food looks pretty suspicious. I got very disappointed and frustrated specially because my partner and I got an stomachache right after. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place, but I hope it was just a bad day and that they get better, because we don’t have anything good to say about his place as of right now.

Ben Yatt: Delicious food and amazing hospitality. Hosted District Language Exchange event in the basement and the set up was perfect with tables set up for us and beautiful decorations, disco lights, and fog machine.

john t: Great good, Great service. Pastries that are to die for !!!

Gabriella Fonseca: Walked into this restaurant + all I could smell was urine. Guy was so unkempt + the place was dirty. Table had crumbs all over it. Needless to say I left moments after. Didn’t really desire to find out about the food.

Mae Medina: Food was ok. Service was ok. Cocktails/Drinks are gross, get a beer.The downstairs (where the comedy show is) smells like urine.

Edyta Owczarek: before you go there be sure you like fatty pork, very little choice of dishes, dessert for extra charge, $ 23 per person, $ 5 dessert. not for families with young children who like American food. 2 stars because the desserts are really good

Beth McCracken-Harness: Really good Brazilian food at a good price. They have a nice buffet and churrasco separate. Nice deserts to buy too. And very friendly staff. Everyone in the shop is speaking Portuguese, so it is very authentic

Cat soup: Great service, friendly staff, yummy authentic Brazilian food, good buffet, great bbq meats

Corbin Rasmussen: Simply amazing. I’m not a picky eater so I tried two of everything and it rocked. Woooooh!!! Definitely going back!!

Luciano Oliveira: The expansion made it bigger and nicer, offering happy hour music and drinks. The authentic Brazilian lunch was good (meat was too salty though). The sugar cane juice and the cheese empanada were perfectly prepared - I would come back just for them!!

Fahad Aqeel: A very good Brazilian steakhouse, but honestly a bit overpriced for the quality and service. I have seen better salad bar offerings, and the service seemed to lack some speed. It was a good experience, but I can enjoy a similar meal at a slightly less price.

Joe Bullen: Only four stars because of no soap in the men’s restroom. We notified the hostess at the beginning of our meal that there was no soap in the men’s room. She enthusiastically thanked us for bringing it to our attention. When leaving, we once again found no soap in the men’s room. So, we ultimately left with dirty hands. The salad bar, while fully stocked, did not quite offer the vast array of selections that Fogo de Chao offers. Also found this establishment to be a bit pricey for what we received in return. On the bright side, the meat was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and served hot at the table. The tableside shrimp was a pleasant surprise. You can request your selections of meat and they will bring it to you. Be sure to request the tableside carving of pineapple. You will not be disappointed! Lastly, this place has the best fried bananas of the five different Brazilian steakhouse brands I’ve visited. They are crispy on the outside, while perfectly tender inside. Delicious!

Jaxs Mill: OMGOODNESS!!! I have made a mental note to go back EVERY year to celebrate my birthday. This is a restaurant for meat lovers, seafood lovers, AND vegetarians. Today (4/3/2022) was my first time visiting Chima Steakhouse. ALL of the food was scrumptious!! Very well seasoned and just plain ‘ole good. The ambiance and the staff were kind. The patrons are the main concern and not just the money being spent. Food items that looked funny and that you may have never heard of, was good…, made you wanting more. I got up once to go to the salad bar and that was it b/c the staff kept the meats coming to your table (lamb, salmon, shrimp, sirloin, & ribs). The staff would cut the meats. When I, can personally suck on a grilled meat (KEEP YOUR MIND CLEAN & CLEAR) Lol…without having to add some A1 sauce or Heinz 57 sauce, the meat is heavenly and to die for. I especially like the fact that we could take our time to eat because you will definitely need it. I wanted more, but gluttony is a sin. 😉. My mom and I had a drink. She had the virgin version and I had the alcoholic version (China Tropical Rio). It was sooooo good and tasty, MaDukes order 2 of them (Virgin Caipirinha). Now…, she DOES NOT do that. Her ordering 2 drinks was a first! I highly recommend this restaurant as a date night or to celebrate something or someone. Our server, Minna was “da BOMB”!!EVERYTHING he said was good, was indeed good. He did not steer us wrong. On a nice day, I would suggest having dinner, going to a movie or just hanging out at the mall, and getting a hotel room. 😁

Christy B: By far, this is the beat Brazilian restaurant I have ever been to. I travel all over the country and have had my fair share of different rodizios in different locations, but the food here was over the moon. The staff was very friendly, quick to appease, and accommodating. We would like to give a special thank you to Nico for making our anniversary dinner a special experience. The prices are comparable to chains in the area like fogo de Chao and Texas de Brazil, but their selections are much larger. They have so much more than just beef and lamb to enjoy. I especially enjoyed the shrimp, jalapeño sirloin, and bacon wrapped filet mignon. I would highly recommend this place for a special occasion and a wonderful experience. Thank you guys again for such a great meal. If we plan to visit Tysons corner again, we will definitely be back!

L W: Chima is the perfect place for meat lovers. All you can eat Brazilian steakhouse. There was a good selection of meat to choose from. The sides were good and the cocktails were very good.

Mohammed Kendassa: One of the best Brazilian steakhouses I’ve ever tried. The salad bar is amazing. Wide meat options

S S: A small space with limited seating. But this club is known for the featured bands, so dancing Salsa and Bachata is what you’re going to get! There is an upstairs which opens around 12 midnight and had a pretty good female DJ which I thought was excellent! She played reggeton and a mix of other music. There is an extension to the back where there is a decent sitting area for a less than noisy experience. Let’s talk about the crowd: a mix of young and mature, mostly young hipsters. I came across several rude patrons, who apparently the phrase excuse me is unknown. The bouncer in front is nice and the bartenders were ok. There was only one who seemed to know what she was doing. $10 cover charge for a subpar experience. The crowd is the reason for -2 stars. I’ve been to better Latin clubs.

Anita Hinnerichs: A great place for authentic Brasilian cuisine, excellent live music and dancing to Latin music salsa, bachatta, merengue, samba and more. Saturday nights are my favorite, but every night has something different and full experience to tantalize all your senses.

Disha Vyas: Great ambiance; excellent music. Must visit if you are looking for a fun night weekday or weekend while in DC. We plan to go again.

Alice Ramos: The most fun in town! Connect with your latin roots through the best music and joyful people.

amir naimi: This place has awesome live music on Saturday by the amazingly talented Jorge and his band . Small not crazy busy environment and very enjoyable .If you’re in dc it’s a must see

Rahma Hejja: Cozy place, arts all around you, great atmosphere, had delicious food (shrimp + Salad) for $24 , it was Saturday, they had live music, two bands, once finished around 8:30pm the other started around 10:40pm, Ok I am not bachata or salsa dancer, went there with no partner, but I found a space to dance and have fun with my self, as usual 😍 Ok I don’t drink so I can’t tell you about drinks there, also don’t expect a huge menu of food, what you saw in pictures here you will see around you with people if you go there.

Anthony R. Bethea, MPA: If you have been looking for a great salad bar experience, look no further! I am a salad bar connoisseur and Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse, Rockville has won me over! Who knew this steakhouse would offer such a buffet of culinary delectable creations? Let’s begin with the Gaucho Lunch - Market Table Only, which includes Market Table & Feijoada Bar all for $15.00. What a great price for such a satisfying salad bar lunch haven! While the food is amazing, the side of mashed potatoes, cheese bread and other treats brought to the table, added to the experience. Look at pictures. They only tell half the story! Additionally, I just visited this past weekend. Brunch was served. OMG! Brunch is priced more but worth every mouth full of made to order omelettes, waffles and parfait! Kelvin Cruz as well as the other attentive management team, congratulations on making my family and guests feel like coming back for more! See you in few weeks!!!

Bryan J: Pretty solid first experience at this location! Was able to get in without having to fight for any seating. The meat cuts were seriously perfectly cooked and the salad bar was tidy and fresh and bountiful. I always feel satisfied when I leave a Fogo.

Camille: Came here for my surprise birthday celebration. The choices of meat were awesome. Enrique was an excellent server who went above and beyond. He was very knowledgeable on the menu and drinks, making sure we had a great experience. He always checked on us and made us laugh. I recommend coming here and ask for Enrique.

Yisela Contreras: 1. Our server was Kanika who we barely saw the entire evening. We had to call her over in hopes that she saw and heard us in order to get her attention, get plates cleared, get new silverware when the meat servers knocked them off the table, etc. She attended to us a total of 2x without us having to call out to her. 2. Every time that we asked for medium well meat we were given the bloodiest cuts. The servers assumed because they spun the knife around and cut the same meat from the other side that we wouldn’t notice it was still a raw cut. The staff needs to be retrained on their meat cuts and their etiquette. All of the stains that were on the table were from this one server who kept reaching the bloody meat over our drinks, phones, and everything else on the table. Also, there were meat servers who walked right out of the kitchen and ours and the other table right next to the loud kitchen to serve meat elsewhere then come back with slivers left - if they decided to stop at all on the way back to the kitchen. 3. There were several employees in the kitchen without masks, and we observed one wiping his nose on his sleeve before putting the speared meat into the cooker. That is when I decided to start taking photos. 🤮 4. I provided a photo of the sides you get with the $57 experience. There were 3 of us out that night and expected to share that amongst us all. So plan a pre-dinner snack accordingly if you do decide to waste your money here. - Complete and total waste of $70, just to end up going home mad and hungry. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy let alone my friends. If I could give them no stars, I would have.

Mae Tray: Arrive hungry because the endless amount of food will fill you up! Everything was delicious. Be aware of parking because it takes awhile unless you are one of the lucky ones that finds a spot.

Victor Martinez: Always do celebrations at Fogo but this one was top notch. The waiter Enrique was a wonderful man all around. Always kept up with my drinks and made sure I was satisfied to my hearts content. Wonderful guy lovely character. Will always look out for this man. Thank you boss Man

preservefootprints: We made reservations for lunch and chose the Churraso Experience that includes continuous tableside service of signature cuts of fire roasted meats, Market Table and Feijoada Bar. The Market Table selections wide selections of cured meats, salad and dressings options, fresh fruits and vegetables, all are paired, carved and served beautifully. Don’t forget to get something fresh from the Market Table, if you like spicy, get more of red chilies pickles and fresh vinegrette! Our favorites parts was the continuous meats selections, especially the fillet mignon tenderloin, beef ancho ribeye, picanha, medalhōes com bacon and linguica. The service was excellent, we’re all experiencing royal-like service and we’re all fell flattered. The forget restrooms check was excellent cleanliness! Next visit, hopefully we’ll enjoy the indulgent cut!

Dasha Motsar: We never been to a Brazilian Steak house for dinner. Today was a special occasion to try this place for my birthday. We tried to make a reservation but it was not an option with a short notice. So we just walked in and got seated in 10m on the Thursday night before Xmas week. But there was an issue we waited like 20 min and no one checked on us since we were seated. So we had to figure out if it’s totally self served or what. So once we went to get self served over at the salad bar, which had a plenty options of food. We finally got some drinks and attention at our table. Meat service was good and you get to test different type of meats. You will get 1 card with 2 side to be serve or to skip. So if it’s on green side you will keep getting meat served at your table. So you will get a plenty of meat served. At the end our server realized that we were not happy with service and gave us a dessert as complementary also as it was my bday. Next time I would prefer to go for a quiet and more special place for my birthday. If I have to spent that much.

Eric Hall: The restaurant has an amazing selection beef, chicken, pork, and lamb. The service is top shelf as well. We go as a group of 20+ and they are always more than accommodating to us. The salad bar is an excellent assortment of salads, fruits, cheeses, and other accoutrements

Reign Noi: Amazing food and service! We came here on June 6th and had a wonderful time! Reggie was our server and he was great. Multiple people/manager checked in on us while we were there. Will be back!

Joao Freire: Both me and my girlfriend had an amazing experience eating at Fogo de Chão in Tysons. Very welcoming and modern restaurant. As a Brazilian I would highly recommend this place, definitely reminds me of Brazilian cuisine. Our server Felipe was amazing along with Peter who helped us, and also John Carlos! We can’t wait to go back soon and eat more stake and desserts!!!🌟

Sang-Jin James Lee: We did our son’s first birthday party (dohl) at Fogo Tysons, and from the very start, their event coordinator, Shannon, helped from reservation to coordination. We were charged fairly according to our headcount. I would definitely come back again for their delicious food!

Ryan K.: Great first time experience for the wife! Everyone from the host & hostess to the bussers, everyone was very friendly, courteous and helpful! Delicious food, great salad bar, good atmosphere make this place definitely a favorite now. Will be coming back soon. Also received a complimentary dessert! Thank you!!

Diamond Lyles: Dennis Servella made our experience great! While the food was delicious, the drinks he made were AMAZING! He asked us both what are taste were and fulfilled them! If you would like something strong and good, we recommend the Cherry Blossom while those who have a sweet tooth enjoy the Mai Tai. Dennis was very friendly and we would love to come again while he his working. The other staff at the restaurant were very polite as well! They constantly checked in on us and made great recommendations. I really enjoyed my time here!
