FOGO DE CHAO – Steakhouse
Inside The Plaza Coral Gables on Ponce de Leon Boulevard, an open-air churrasco bar sets the pace: gaucho chefs carry skewers of fire-roasted meat tableside, carving cuts to order right at the table. The Brazilian steakhouse pairs rodizio service with a market-style salad spread, dry-aged meat lockers, and a deep South American wine list. A mezzanine lounge pours aged rums and whiskey for guests wanting a quieter perch, while an on-site butcher counter lets shoppers take the same cuts home to grill themselves. Diners keep returning for the unhurried pacing of the meat service and the polish near Miracle Mile.
