The restaurant from Brazil will open in 2025.
Fogo de Chão, a restaurant from Brazil, has announced that it will open its first location in Nashville.
The 8,500-square-foot restaurant is scheduled to open in 2025 at Nashville Yards, a nineteen-acre mixed-use development.
“We are eager to enter the Tennessee market and expand our Southeast footprint with our first restaurant at Nashville Yards,” says Barry McGowan, Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chão. “As a prime destination for visitors from around the world, our restaurant will serve as a memorable addition to the lively experiences Nashville has to offer.”
Designed in partnership with global architecture and design agency Harrison, the restaurant will showcase a warm, timeless, and approachable setting that reflects the local Nashville community. The restaurant will feature an expansive dining room centered around an open churrasco grill, offering guests a view of gaucho chefs butchering, hand carving, and grilling high-quality cuts of protein over an open flame. A Market Table will anchor the front of the grill and feature seasonal salads, fresh superfoods, cured meats, antipasti, and more. Dry-aged meat lockers for in-house aging will display indulgent cuts, such as a thirty-two ounces Long-Bone Tomahawk Ribeye, aged for a minimum of forty-two days.
New menu additions will accompany Fogo’s everyday offerings, including weekday lunch, weekend Brazilian brunch, Bar Fogo, group and private dining, a to-go and butcher shop options, and full-service catering.
“We’re excited to welcome Fogo de Chão to Nashville Yards,” says Cary Mack, managing partner of Southwest Value Partners. “Fogo presents its food in uniquely fun and interesting ways, and it’s fresh, flavorful and offers something for everyone. Their specialty prime meats butcher shop, curated wine program, and lounge are all fantastic additions to the amenities we are curating for our tenants, residents and visitors.”
