Although chef Alexandre Silva is mostly known for his crown-jewel, the Michelin-starred Loco, I’ve grown particularly fond of his lesser-known (but equally brilliant) Fogo; a dimly-lit, business-casual eatery that cooks every dish over an open fire.
Sourcing everything from the butter, carrots, and olive oil from the Azores and Alentejo, and baking all of its bread in-house, there’s a committment to showcasing the very best of Portuguese cooking without descending into needlessly indulgent upscale snobbery. It’s straightforward, honest cooking, but done with such jaw-dropping professionalism that it will forever redefine your perception of Portuguese cuisine.
Moreover, one bite of the crispy rice in duck fat and you’ll never want to eat rice elsewhere again. This is Fogo!
