Brazilian churrasco is taking the world by storm – and rightly so!
And Fogueira in Dubai is leading the way…
First of all, this is your view!
So, even if they only served raw radishes this would be a great brunch venue – you are on the 35th floor across from Dubai Marina, in the heart of JBR.
And not 35th floor with a window… the open air terrace spans 360-degrees around!
The interior dining hall is also well-appointed, and a traditional Brazilian feel is throughout the locale.
And if by strange chance you still hadn’t noticed the Brazilian vibes, the music is sure to awaken your senses – mostly live, and lively, the rhythm of Samba really makes the atmosphere special.
Also, as a free-flowing weekend brunch, and a hot nightspot, Fogueira offers a fully-stocked bar, also specializing in South American distinguished beverages.
But, what is this churrasco, you ask?
Well, in a nutshell, at the Fogueira brunch you have three main parts: the first is a fantastic buffet of sides, salads, soup, and Brazilian accompaniments – like, garlic rice, a popular Brazilian dish of black beans (Feijoada), a traditional seafood stew (Bobo de Camarao), toasted cassava flour (Farofa), crispy mandioca chips, plenty of sassy sauces, both delicate and zesty salads, and a selection of cheeses.
And you think: this is lovely, and you bring your plate to your table… and then the second part of the Fogueira feast springs into action!
Because on an outdoor grill the good Chef Manuel keeps adding rotisseries of massive chunks of various cuts of prime meat.
Which then is brought, cut and served at your table on a continuous basis.
And I do mean “continuous” and “never-ending”!!!
It is a feast of epic proportions – your table will taste at least a dozen different cuts, all of them succulent and juicy, and fresh off the grill.
And so you end up with the combination of the self-serve buffet, and the piping hot variety of freshly-grilled meats – truly what churrasco is all about.
And there’s no rush!
Fogueira stays open until 1 AM – and the weekend brunch is continuous from midday on…
… so your weekend is off to a brilliant start in true Brazilian fashion.
But, there’s more!
There’s also dessert! The third side of the Fogueira triangle:
A fabulous selection of sweets awaits those bold enough to still have the appetite required to enjoy international and Brazilian favorites!
And the world-famous churros!
All in all, Fogueira puts on a culinary extravaganza representing the genuine joy of living from Brazil – the music, the combination of hot grilled meats and classic accompaniments, and the crown jewel of desserts – and all served high up above Dubai’s iconic skyline – makes for an epic Dubai weekend brunch!
