Best Brazilian Food In Dallas / Fort Worth

North Texas has a common bond with the plains of Brazil, cattle, prairies, and an unmatched love of meat. We are fortunate to have a cross section of restaurants that feature Churrasco – beef and other meats cooked over an open flame - served on skewers.  But that's not the only food that will make you think you are in Sao Paolo.

Fogo de Chao

4300 Belt Line Rd
Addison, TX 75001
(972) 503-7300

The original United States location for this popular high-end chain (the original is in Sao Paolo), Addison's Fogo de Chao has sent many non-Brazilians home happily humming a samba with a full stomach since 1997.

Texas de Brazil

Multiple locations including:
15101 Addison Road
Addison, TX 75001
(972) 385-1000
http://www.texasdebrazil.com

It's no coincidence that the original Texas de Brazil is in Addison mere blocks from Fogo de Chao, but appetites have proved time and again this town is big enough for the both of them.  In additon to the overwhelming meat selections, Texas de Brazil also has an extensive salad bar selection.

Rafain Brazilian Steakhouse

18010 N. Dallas Parkway
Dallas, TX 75287
(972) 733-1110
http://www.rafain.com/home

Rafain's lone location in the United States is in the middle of the Lone Star State, but traces their history to the Rafain Palace Hotel and Churrascaria show in Foz do Iguacu, Brazil, proving again that Texans love their Brazilian-style meat.

Boi Na Braza

The name of this mid-cities restaurant roughly translates to "steer in embers" so, you get the idea of what to expect - fantastic beef cooked over a fire.  A fine way to eat, no matter what you call it.

Cafe Brazil

This is not yet another Brazilian steakhouse, which is great, because you sometimes have to eat breakfast.  Café Brazil, with 10 locations across Dallas and Collin County, should be included on your brunch list.  With coffee that will keep you perked up all day, Café Brazil is a can't miss.
