The new Fogo in Flower Hill Promenade offers a massive buffet — Brazilian style. “We saw a need for a Brazilian restaurant in North County,” notes manager Mario Martins. “This is exactly how we like to eat in my homeland.” For lunch and dinner, guests have the option of enjoying the salad bar only, or the full buffet including hot entrees and meats. Some of the authentic fare offered includes farofa (roast yucca flour with bacon and spices), couve (collard greens), tropical potato salad, shrimp stew, and caramelized bananas. Savor all-you-can-eat cuts of meat hand-carved at your table including filet mignon wrapped in bacon, rib eye, beef ribs, pork loin, chicken legs, veggie kabobs, and much more.
