Swords, handsome cowboys who can cook, endless amounts of fresh salads and perfectly cooked meat – have you died and gone to heaven? No, welcome to the earthbound reality of Fogo de Chao (say fo-go dèe shoun), the new-to-New Orleans Brazilian-based churrascaria ensconced in the JW Marriott on Canal Street. Blessed with a gorgeous space, high ceilings and a second floor balcony with private dining rooms, this Fogo is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner to serve the hotel's guests. Grill artists sear up cuts like filet, top sirloin, beef and pork ribs and lamp chops over a custom-made, 500-degree gas rotisserie. Veggie lovers will be equally happy with the market table with its seasonal greens, salads, smoked salmon, giant wheel of imported Parmesan and fresh fruit. There's also a fejoida bar featuring rice and Brazil's national black bean and pork stew.

New Orleans Local Expert
- Lunch, Restaurants with Gluten-Free Menus: "The $15 lunch is a great deal, including the market table and fejoida, with additional meats priced per cut."
- Group Friendly: "The $15 lunch is a great deal, including the market table and fejoida, with additional meats priced per cut."
- Best for Lunch Because: All carnivores will swoon over the parade of meat prepared by the gaucho cook/servers.
- Best for Restaurants with Gluten-Free Menus Because: All carnivores will swoon over the parade of meat prepared by the gauchos. Each diner signals the army of meat by displaying a green disc at their plate, turn it over for red when you cry uncle.
- Best for Group Friendly Because: Dinner is about $50 plus drinks – way less than you'll pay at a good steakhouse – making this an ideal spot for groups.
