- AandrewVIPPittsburgh / Western PA •34 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWhat had a wonderful experience. The meat was amazing, and the service was excellent. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. I hear that it can get quite busy, but we did not experience that on a Monday night. The price is high, but meat is expensive, and the quality is every bit as good as what you would get at a steakhouse, and you get to try many different cuts. Really nice.More infoFogo de Chao - PittsburghPrice: Moderate• Brazilian• Downtown•4.5

Discover Downtown
Downtown Pittsburgh is often referred to as the Golden Triangle. With its blend of history and modern design, you can find restaurants to suit any craving. An aroma of Philly cheesesteak wafts from a busy restaurant in the center of the city while a quiet street delivers smells of kielbasa and pierogis. Start your day by enjoying coffee or an espresso drink at one of the many coffee shops. Pizza is common at almost every turn when you're walking along the city streets. Market Square features farm stands with fresh fruits, vegetables, and homemade items. A fun event in the downtown area is Picklesburgh, a festival that features everything dealing with the pickle. There, you'll also find a host of other foods that go great with pickles.
