As part of their introduction to the Thousand Oaks community, Fogo will donate a portion of its first week of sales to Manna Conejo Valley Food Bank, which provides food to hundreds of families every month battling food insecurities. The Thousand Oaks restaurant marks the brand’s ninth Los Angeles Metro location with an upcoming restaurant in Brea set to open later this year.
Designed in partnership with architecture and design agency Innovation & Design in Architecture, the new restaurant features an expansive dining room centered around an open churrasco grill where guests can dine while watching gaucho chefs demonstrate the Culinary Art of Churrasco as they butcher, prepare and grill different cuts of protein over an open flame. The Thousand Oaks restaurant also showcases an outdoor dining patio, soaring wine cases, a white Carrara marble Market Table, dry-aged meat lockers for in-house aging, a lively indoor Bar Fogo area ideal for all-day happy hour and private dining spaces available for guests to reserve for any occasion.
The Thousand Oaks team is led by General Manager Sevenir Girardi, who started his career with Fogo 16 years ago as a server in Brazil. During his tenure with Fogo, Sevenir has held various leadership positions including Assistant General Manager and General Manager of the Beverly Hills restaurant. Sevenir and his team look forward to becoming part of the Thousand Oaks community and providing over 100 local jobs for talented individuals committed to delivering an exceptional experience to all guests.
Fire-roasted meats are the core of Fogo’s experience and include guest favorites such as Bone-In Ribeye, Lamb Chops and the house specialty, Picanha, the prime part of the top sirloin. Fogo Thousand Oaks offers a range of menu selections and prices to fit guests’ needs for lunch and dinner, including:
