Fogo is a bold new destination that reimagines Portuguese heritage through a modern, sophisticated lens. Centered around the raw element of fire, the kitchen transforms traditional flavors into artfully plated experiences that pair fine-dining precision with a warm, unpretentious energy. The atmosphere is vibrant and soulful—designed for those who appreciate world-class gastronomy in a space that feels like a spirited celebration rather than a quiet dining room. Whether it’s the glow of the open hearth or the pulse of the crowd, Fogo offers a refined yet relaxed escape where every dish tells a story of heat, heart, and heritage.

    I was impressed with the Fogo wine list, which featured one of my favourites, Black Oyster Catcher, but which seldom appears on other restaurants' wine lists. My husband was also happy to be able to order craft beer on tap. I ordered the grilled calamari starter that was tender and delicious, and a generous portion. I also ordered a starter portion of the prawn rissoles that went well with the calamari. My husband ordered the peri peri baby chicken served with a side order of chips, and enjoyed every mouthful. We finished off the meal with whisky Dom Pedros. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was efficient. Thanks to all for an enjoyable evening. We will return soon.

    Lovely to find a portguese restaurant with some traditional portuguese offerings. Lovely watrons (Kai and Kelvin) were a delight and the owner was also very helpful. They have Superbok beer on tap and a range of portugese wines and sides (e.g. Milo Frito, and Tomato Rice). Their bean dish is divine and their trinchado is tasty and tender.

    Really good food and the restaurant was nice and cozy. Great ambience for a cold evening. The servers were super friendly and so helpful We had the ribs with chips & salad, and pork belly with milho frito for mains, and calamari and prawns as starters. The best prawns I've had in a long time, definitely coming back for those. The portions are amazing. All the food was really good The variety of food on the menu will keep us coming back!
