Fogo de Chao
Celiac Safety Score
Fogo de Chão promises a Brazilian steakhouse adventure where celiac diners can finally breathe easy. The restaurant highlights its Market Table and many signature sides as 100% gluten-free, with naturally gluten-free pão de queijo and a parade of fire-roasted meats (just watch out for the occasional marinated chicken or Parmesan pork, which staff will flag for you). You know what? It’s the rare spot where even the salad bar feels like a safe playground. Staff are generally knowledgeable and there are dedicated fryer and prep spaces at many locations, but be sure to double-check with your server about current protocols—especially during busy hours. For those of us who’ve spent years dodging breadcrumbs, Fogo’s robust labeling and naturally GF menu make it feel almost too good to be true—though a few inconsistent service stories mean it’s smart to stay alert and ask questions.
