This past week, we had the opportunity to stop by the newest, hottest Fogo de Chaõ in town — the Santa Monica location! And what we experienced was nothing short of a fully-fledged party to celebrate the occasion, complete with drinks, music, accessories, and a taste of the new Surf and Turf menu. Located right across the street from The Santa Monica Pier, this Fogo is in one of the most opportune spots imaginable, seeing up to 14 million tourists pass by the area a year.
It seems that the fiery restaurant brand has a lot up its short sleeves for Summer, and we recommend keeping an eye out for what else may be on the way. Now, after finding its footing just a few months after its grand opening, everyone can come by and feel the summer celebration heat, and all it has to offer! From the flaming hot music to $1 caipirinhas, here’s how to kick off your Hot Brazilian Summer the Fogo way.
It’s only appropriate to start with the most limited exclusives around: caipirinhas! From July 21st – July 25th, guests can enjoy Brazil’s national and most popular cocktails for just $1! Crafted with Cachaça, fresh muddled limes, and cane sugar, the Caipirinha is bright, refreshing, and the perfect way to beat the heat – whether soaking in the vibrant energy at Bar Fogo, dining indoors, or relaxing on the patio.
Limited-Time Only: Get Them While They’re Hot
Whether paired with Fogo’s new $59 Brazilian Surf & Turf menu, or enjoyed on its own during All Day Happy Hour, the Caipirinha is an easy way to cool down without breaking the bank -– for just $1 all week long!

If you’re looking for a full dining experience, cravings will be answered with Fogo de Chaõ turning up the heat this summer. The launch of its new $59 Brazilian Surf & Turf menu, available for a limited-time. To celebrate the launch and kick-off Hot Brazilian Summer, Fogo is giving away over $500,000 in complimentary meals, and inviting guests to enjoy a dinner that feels like a getaway.
The limited-time menu includes a selection of Fire-Roasted Cuts, including: the best cuts of Brazil like Picanha, the prime part of the top sirloin, and Fraldinha, the bottom sirloin known for its strong marbling characteristics and robust flavor, and more, along with a choice of a Butter-Bathed Lobster Tail™ or an All Jumbo Lump Crab Cake. The Brazilian Surf & Turf experience also includes classic Brazilian sides and seasonal selections from the Market Table like plant-based proteins, imported charcuterie, and fresh soups and salads, bringing guests a seasonal variety of nutrient-dense offerings.
So Much to Go Around
Starting today through August 4, select Fogo Rewards members will be surprised weekly with one of the 10,000 complimentary $59 Brazilian Surf & Turf experiences, selected at random, accessed with purchase*.
