- I'm back with another buffet video today but this one is a little bit different to the others as I'm visiting a Brazilian steakhouse known as Fogo de Chão in Clapham Common. I've been asked to try a Brazilian steakhouse many times so I'm excited to give it a go!

One of the things I always notice about the channel is how you are so complementary about the restaurant staff Gary. Having watched your videos since the beginning, I’ve noticed that the great service you generally receive is partly down to your own impeccable manners and the respect that you give the staff. Lesson for everyone watching really! Please and thanks costs nothing!
I'd agree, my first job was working in a nightclub and most the people forgot their Ps & Qs and will confess those who hadn't I'd normally serve them first when they came back to the bar. I've found I'm not alone in that and when I order I always try and smile too cos working behind a bar is a grim job.
I completely agree with you, as someone who has dealt with the general public for half my life you will always get a more pleasnt result if you treat others the same way you would like to be treated.
Absolutely right.
Hi Steve, I believe it’s nice to be nice, also be respectful especially in restaurants as the staff work long hours for generally not great money, a little bit of respect goes a long way. I really appreciate you’re comment thank you very much, enjoy the weekend 😊
Yes I agree
Gary, I love that you always remember to use your manners. It costs nothing to be kind. You are always gracious, and I believe that's why you have smashed it with getting so many followers. People are sick and tired of rudeness and sensationalism. Long live your vlog x
Thank you Joanna that is a very nice and kind comment 👍
Totally agree with you
He's the same with the viewers, thanking and engaging with people all the time. I like Gary.
Started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago and really enjoy your reviews. The Food in this restaurant looked delicious and good value. I tried Brazilian food once in Liverpool and it was fantastic😊
Best food reviewer on CZcams bar none!!!
Very kind thank you very much 😊
Honestly, such a nice chap and is always fair.
That looks remarkably appealing and fresh. The other thing, also impressive is that they served their hot items in both stoneware and enamelled cast iron. That’s not cheap but it shows they care about their food. Fabulous.
It was absolutely superb!
£14.95 seems a cracking price for the buffet!
The salad bar looked superb, really well laid out and the whole selection overall was impressive.
Getting meats cut at the table is a nice touch as well.
A well deserved 9.5👍🏼
So good Warren! Take care
Wow... that was impressive. Not just the price but I would give a "10" for the presentation alone.
It was very impressive 👍
You can’t eat presentation. 😂
No John you’re right but if it wasn’t presented correctly then it wouldn’t engage you visually, that then wouldn’t encourage you to want to try, however the food was very good at an excellent price 👍
Hi Gary, love your channel as you get on the food right away unlike other CZcamsrs who are getting greedy with long intros and even longer adverts halfway through !! 👏👏👏
Lee The Macmaster by far the worst culprit totally unwatchable,a complete clown.....
Y
Thank you Richard that’s really appreciated 👍
Once again a superb video
I have finally put my finger on what makes you stand out
You are awlays respectful to the restaurant whatever the price. Some well known food channels on here seem to think they are above visiting "budget" places you display the same respect to the staff and the venue regardless
You are a class act
Thank you so much. Incredibly kind of you to say!
Chicken hearts?...Let's give it a go...No! 😝
That quite honestly is one of the best AYCE buffet and endless meats I have seen in a very long time.
Gary, thank you as always.
Glad you liked the look of it Gary and thank you as always for your kind donation!
Chicken hearts are actually really tasty. I'd choose them over dry bland boring chicken breast any day.
Great review Gary, my wife is from Rio de Janeiro and after watching you she got saudade which means homesick in Portuguese, this type of restaurant is extremely popular in Brazil and Portugal. Plenty of beef, chicken but not so much pork. I've been there quite a few times. In Portuguese the R is a H. There are 3 Brazilian restaurants and one Brazilian chippy in Manchester
Thank you very much my kindest regards to both you and your lovely wife 😊
This type of restaurant are not popular in Portugal.
Steakhouse!!! Yes! Meats.😁 £14.95 is a good price.
I like chicken hearts but they are very rich. The salad looked really good. That's exactly what you need with a meat heavy menu. Why do you do it to yourself with the chilli sauce??
Chicken thigh is my favourite part! Nice and juicy. The rump steak looked delicious and the ham even better. Just how I like it. Garlic steak looked very well well done. Lol. Perfect cooking on the sausage. Very crispy on the outside and really hot on the inside. At that price, it's great for a weekly treat lunch for two.
That's a 9 out of 10 for me but the price makes it 10. That's yet another excellent review.
Thank you Andre just practicing for the phal challenge coming soon 😳
No mess, no fuss, Its all about the food. Good vid.
Thank you 😊
Hi Gary, been there a couple of times, it was really good. It's quite authentic Brazilian, but a few things have been adapted to British taste. But as I said, it was always very good and both the meats, vegetables and especially their Chorizo is quite authentic. So we did really enjoy it, but, there is always a but, the second time we went there the noise level was off the charts and I almost couldn't hear what my wife was saying. But the service is very good, the meats are great and for a lunch, you can't almost beat the price. The only thing, except for the noice, the beef was a bit overdone for our liking. Your Picanha is considered the jewel of beef in South America, but it has to be precut the correct way, but from my point of view, yours was a bit overdone as well. But glad you liked it and I missed you putting the Chimi Churri sauce on your meats. Another fantastic review, mate, keeping up the best work on CZcams at the moment! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and speak to you before my surgery.
Re the noise level, yes, often found that with restaurants in Clapham/Tooting/Brixton/Streatham. The trouble is they have to squeeze as many in as possible when they're such good value, plus the natural exuberance of a lot of the locals. I have great difficulty following conversation on my own table in these circs.
Have to say Frank, I agree with you regarding the noise. Chairs scraping and it became a little too noisy!
The side eye from the guy walking behind you when you sat down with your food 😂😂😂
saw that too lol almost like if you only knew what i know
It's all good, Gary avoided the 'special sauce'....
I think he was trying to figure out what the cameraman was doing 😳
I was once a migrant, and I can tell you, without these cheap great-value migrant eateries, most of us would starve or go broke ! When I was in Paris summer of 2017, the Arab shops near the Gare Du Nord came to my rescue with delicious cheap meals and tea like you had at the Persian restaurant. The French places just ripped me off because I couldn't make my way to the top-notch bistros.
That Brazilian waiter put the buff into buffet.. 😂😂
The service was excellent 👌
Pretty tasty wasn't he
What a treat and so well priced too. Thanks Gary, enjoying your videos. xx
Very kind Susan thank you x
What a lovely place, the food looked superb, and your tasting of it confirmed how good it was. Definitely deserved nine and a half. I love how you treat the staff with such respect. What a nice guy you are Gary. Great video.
Thank you very much Ann. Always be respectful
That's my mantra as well.
Your enthusiasm on this one was infectious. Love how you always comment on the ambience and staff. Unsurprised at your score in view of the quality, value and service.
The service was excellent Steve and thank you
A great review Gary, amazing value. Look forward to your travels next week.
Thank you really appreciated
That looks absolutely delicious Gary.
I work in Clapham every so often and I’ll make sure it’s during lunchtime next time!
Thank you for sharing👌🏻
You’re welcome Kev I hope you enjoy, please let me know what you thought 💭
Always a pleasure to switch off the home office, open an Old Speckled Hen and watch your good self Gary ...excellent review !
Thanks Steve 👍
Thanks for another great honest review gary
My pleasure Julie
Welcome back and I missed the last day. Looks good and very tasty. It is close enough to 10 of 10 and enjoy.
It was very good especially for the money
Wow that food looked amazing especially the salad bar and extras.. excellent value for money.. great choice and excellent review Gary 😊
Really kind thank you 😊
Looked great Gary. We had a similar experience in Madrid and the variety was wonderful. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you I certainly did 👍
Great find & thank you for highlighting this restaurant Gary. Good food at a sensible price. Easy to see why it would be busy. Keep up the good work.🙂
Glad you enjoyed it Paul
You are always polite towards the waiting staff, this is really appreciated. This is one of the best food review channels on youtube. Please keep making more of the same Gary.
So nice of you to say Richard. Thank you :)
Good one Gary, keeping it honest, soon they'll recognise you and you'll be waited on hand and foot, don't let it influence you over the food.
No David, I’ll always give an honest review and thank you 😊
You are genuienly fantastic at getting these restraunts the attention they deserve.
500k subcribers surely by the end of the year.
Haha thank you Cahal but I think 500k might be a bit of a optimistic prediction
Really enjoyed that one! Many thanks for all your hard work Gary and cameraman!👍👍
Thank you very much
Great video Gary as usual. Fantastic value and quality of food, brilliant.
Really enjoy your presentation style and laid back approach.
Looking forward to seeing where you get around the country .
Great effort
So nice of you to say Si, much appreciated 👍🏼
Fogo de Chão is really good. I highly recommend people go here over the more well known Preto. The quality of food and flavour is much better and they have more of the traditional Brazilian sides if you wish.
It's also far cheaper than Preto.
Yep, absolutely superb. Been to Preto but not as big of a fan!
Glad to see these are making it to the UK, when I moved to the US nearly 15 years ago it was one of the things I enjoyed the most as a new culinary experience! One thing it seems you missed out on, that is a staple of the non-meat options at Brazilian steakhouses, is the pao de queijo, which is an AMAZING cheese bread that they serve. Always a favorite of mine when I visit Rodizio Grill or Tucanos, which are the two big Brazilian steakhouses where I am. Glad you enjoyed it though, it's a very filling dining experience for sure!
I love those cheese breads. Trouble is they're addictive and if you have too many you can't eat as much meat!
Yep, they're superb Gerard. Thank you and greetings to the US.
Food looks delicious. Thanks for the video Gary.
You’re welcome 😉
I'm in Morocco and I have to go to NY at the end of the year. Gary, you''re making me do a 2 week layover in London in one of the directions!!!! ❤❤❤
Lol sorry Brian 🤷♂️😊
Gary.. Across the pond, the phrase “a nice piece of rump” has an entirely different meaning! Haha.
Umm. Wouldn't be so sure about that! ;}
Just like Fanny Pack means something different over here!
@@streetvida2707 You get a small piece of rump in a fanny pack. Peculiar thing to do. But.....
@@streetvida2707Really? Called making a funny. Obviously YMMV.
Humour mate. Maybe get yourself a sense of humour?
Nothing at all peculiar about his comment.@@streetvida2707
Hope you're well Mr Gary! No joke, but I always keep an eye out for you whenever I'm on Clapham High Street during the day! Was even in the Sainsbury's opposite where you were dining in yesterday! Lol 😆
I’m all good sorry we missed each other 👍
Gary, Excellent looking spread of things to eat !! Good afternoon from the U.S.A. Thank you both for the video !!
Thank you Jerry, I hope you’re all good and have a lovely weekend 👍
Great video as always Gary. Very impressed with this! That looked an enjoyable meal, with a crazy selection of choices, with totally incredible value! Mark.
It was very good all round Mark
I follow quite a few food reviews, as soon I see yours posted I stop watching the others and check yours out :) Excellent value, expect the price to go up now since you have reviewed it, but that also means its priced correctly in the future ;)
That is very kind and it’s really appreciated 😊
Whats happening gary there's know denying it this platform is 🔥 alway's a pleasure sir....
No idea John 🤷♂️ but thank you as always 👍
Delicious, Thank you Gary ❤🎉
Thank you very much
Wow, what a collection of foods on one plate. Incredible value. and it all looked piping hot and very appetising. They even served your meat at the table, and all for 14 95, plus return visits to the buffet. You cannot complain about this, oh and the staff were very nice too. A well deserved 9.5!
Spot on!!
Another good review Gary and you're still in shape. I would have thought with all that grub you would have more Chins than a Chinese telephone directory 😂
I hide it well Colin 😂😂
We went last year with work & the server told one woman she was eating snake knees and she took it in like a sponge
Always ask for the snake's left knee. Far superior texture.
😳
All I can say is that all looked bloody amazing. Real attention to detail and pride in everything.
Fully agree
Brilliant video from a brilliant human being, nice work Gary!
Very very kind thank you
Lasagna wouldn't last long with me Gary it'd be gone lol also the garlic bread.😅
Great review as always 👍🏻
Lol get down there Rob!
There used to a place like this in Liverpool which sadly did not survive lock down. I remember the extras were great and was where I tried oxtail for the first time as they had traditional Brazilian ox tail stew. I was great cos then my friend and I would sit at our table about every 3 minutes a member of staff would turn up with different season steak and ask us if we wanted a slice or two. We had to go for a long walk around Liverpool city centre and docks. The steaks were a little cooked than my taste likes but very nice but it was an amazing dining experience.
That's sad to hear. With that being said Rupert, I'm very much looking forward to visiting Liverpool soon
Bold Street as some excellent places@@GaryEats
There is lebanese place where we from most had at traditional breakfst Lebanese style, best breakast ever had@@GaryEats
Thank you 😊
WOW. Great place. It's NOW on my list - thanks for covering it Gary.
You’re very welcome
A gentleman. good stuff. subbed 👍
Another great video! I’m curious - do you ask the restaurant for permission before filming? Have you ever been told to stop? 😅
No we just rock up and hope for the best, only on a couple of occasions 👍
Looked real quality at a great price 9.5 is a fair score
Thank you
Great review Gary gotta love a buffet fantastic choice of dishes superb value
Fully agree Jack
Great review Gary. You take me to locations I can't visit, but I can enjoy watching you on my behalf. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and commenting 😊
That ham looked mint tbh 👍
It was George 👍
I received my blue hoodie the other day, well pleased with the quality of it 👍
So great to hear thank you 😊
Sorry trying to be less verbose, so much food out (wonderful world we live in Google) UK heath safely less than 4H they can chill and reuse Another nice one. Think food in the UK got cheaper than here.
👍
Gary you are a true gent, always a pleasure to watch your videos
That’s so very kind Joe thank you
*Spectacular upload and A Must Watch 👌🔥👌🔥👌*
You cannot go wrong with this place. Tremendous place
Awesome review Gary
Thank you Glenda, have a lovely weekend!
There’s nothing stopping you paying a fiver for service
I agree 👍
wow £14.95 for all that choice all you can eat impressive
It was very impressive Dave
Well done! 9.5 is right. Amazing, what a gorgeous spread. I must follow you there! Thank you.
You will enjoy for sure Sylvia 😊
That place looked like an absolute gem and what amazing value at 14.95, the last time I went to a Brazilian rodizio we payed around 40 a head! Glad to see you enjoying the picanha, can't enough of that when I am in Portugal, it's everywhere! Great review and spot on with the scoring again.
Thank you Brendan really appreciated
we need you to get to 100k subs ....Bonjour
That would be amazing Mark fingers crossed 🤞 one day thank you 😊
That's fantastic value Gary, another good video mate
Thank you Tommy this was an excellent restaurant
Best value you will ever found anywhere Gary. Great review.
Thank you I don’t necessarily disagree
Good review Gary,ticked all my boxes 👍looked delicious and good food
Thank you Mark enjoy you’re weekend mate 👍
Enjoying your london reviews !
Thank you
Gary, you really know how to pick them, that food looked excellent, and the salad bar was superb, yet again it made my mouth water so thanks for spoiling my Friday night, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it and I’m very sorry Colin 😄
Thank you Gary, I've got over it. 👍
Looks great that's somewhere I'd love to try. And it looks quite healthy 🤤
It’s well worth a look Robert 😊
Great review as always Gary, the food and choice for that price are excellent.
Thank you William really appreciated
Wow Gary, bargain price and concept and an all round great lunch by the looks of things. The service charge is incredible considering they're constantly going around serving meats off the skewers. Very well run, and not surprised it got so busy so quickly. Easily a 9 and a half score but the review gets a golden 10 ⭐️
Thank you Rob for you’re lovely comment
Excellent review Gary, really enjoying your videos. £14.95 is great value especially in London, the food looked amazing!
Firstly thank you so much for you’re donation it’s very much appreciated, and I agree excellent value for money 💰
That looked great. I have never eaten at a Brazilian Steakhouse. That definitely was a value for money. Enjoyed the review great job.
Give it a go Daniel and thank you!
Well done on your century of videos. Brilliantly batted sir !
Really kind thank you 👍
£14.95p is a steal gary ,excellent value .you have found another gem mate .carry on the good work pal.
Very kind Michael thank you
It looked like a real feast :) Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Andy it certainly was
Love it. Something a little different to the normal buffet, and what fantastic value!!!
Thank you Melanie I have to agree
That meal looked excellent both in value for money and presentation.I am not surprised that the place got busy as it deserves it imho.My deceased mother loved to go to places like this (buffet/bistro) and i would take her out to lunch every fortnight to places like this.When i saw the onion rings my first impression was it was calamari but unfortunately not.Congratulations on a good honest review again and your mark was spot on
Thanks Paul, take care 👍🏼
You can’t beat that value . Amazing ❤
It was excellent value
What an amazing place ! To be honest I’ve not heard of a Brazilian steak house before but after watching this, I’d definitely go to this one ! Thank for the great review Gary 😊
Give it a go Amanda!
Gary, the value was above great just like you and your channel! I would visit this restaurant in a minute if I lived near London. Here in California we have a few very good Brazilian steakhouses and I do enjoy them. Your channel is the best! Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
So very kind and thank you 😊
I'll tell you what gary that was a steal mate all that food. Restaurant looked great as well. Brilliant video as always gary 👏
Really appreciated Neil thank you
Great review Gary and excellent value and quality - I would give it a go.
I don’t blame you I’ll be going back for sure
Incredible value for money all the ingredients looked to be a very high-quality and cooked very well. Looks excellent
It was very good quantity and quality
Thanks for the review , wow what a great place, will be there some day, not too far from where i live, excellent food. This has got to be one of the best budget options for food in Clapham for what you get & all freshly grilled & delivered to the table. Man i am impressed.
It was excellent value Alan give it a go 👍
Excellent review. Really enjoyed the video. You did scare me though when you made the McDonald's joke at beginning ) Brilliant
No more McDonalds for a very long time
Nice review. Thank you. Blessings from Texas,USA. 👍😊❤
Thank you Brian thanks for watching from the 🇺🇸
That’s unbelievably good value Gary and the quality looked fantastic for an all you can eat buffet, shame I don’t live in London anymore because I would definitely give it a try.
Very very good value
Wow that is a great deal! My wife grew up in Brazil and introduced me to Brazilian food. It’s one of my favorite.
Lovely to hear
Hi Gary another great review …another on the list to try .
Thank you Annie 👍
Hi Gary
Love your intros.
Always honest and never dull.
Nice to see you review on Brazilian cuisine
If you get a chance try a Brazilian nut.
As they say Gary there is awful lot nuts in Brazil
Really appreciate that Ed!
Good show, you are very good at this!
Thank you Bob really appreciated
Another great review Gary that looks an absolute gem of a place......Great value especially for the South....there was one near us in Nottingham but it closed about 5 years ago..Tropeiro we went a few times was exactly the same menu and concept 🙂
It’s excellent value for money Graham and great staff as well
Hi Gary and Mr Cameraman
What a great place you found here, it really was good.
It just shows even by using cheaper meat cuts like ham hock, rump, Chicken harts and thigh's, with the right herbs and spices and cooking method that's all it takes.
I don't think anyone will critique that place due to the price and quality, and i would 100% go here.
Chris.
Brilliant to hear Chris, glad you liked the look of it! Cheers mate.
Another Good one Gary keep Eating ...and what a wonderful channel, no swearing, crashes etc, a respectible Gent eating out,what more doi you want.......😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Thank you mate. Very kind of you to say!
Nice video Gary. Looked really good
Thank you Mark it certainly was
Thanks for sharing. The salad bar only option is really affordable and a great selection. I’d be there for lunch every day!
Great selection and good price as well
Wow 😮😮 wish there was one of these near me 😊❤ that looked amazing and that price too 😮😮😊 , thank you for another great review Gary you are amazing 😊❤
You are so welcome Trudy
