Federal Realty announced today that Fogo de Chão (fogo-dee-shown), the internationally renowned Brazilian steakhouse , or churrascaria , is coming to Pike & Rose. Fogo de Chão will be located at 11600 Old Georgetown Rd, North Bethesda, MD , taking over the space vacated by a Nike pop-up store.

Fogo de Chão specializes in the centuries-old Southern Brazilian cooking technique of churrasco – the art of roasting high-quality cuts of meats over open flame, all of which are carved tableside by Brazilian-trained gaucho chefs. Founded in Southern Brazil in 1979, there are currently 52 locations throughout Brazil, the United States, Mexico, and the Middle East. This will be the 41st location in the United States.

At Pike & Rose, Fogo de Chão joins more than 50 tenants in approximately 350,000 square feet of thoughtfully merchandized retail space, a 177-key Canopy by Hilton boutique hotel, 765 luxury apartments, 99 condominiums and 80,000 square feet of best-in-class office space.

Fogo de Chão will open in the early summer.
