Fogo de Chão Liverpool — Brazilian Churrasco at Exchange Flags
Brazilian rodízio inside Liverpool's historic Grade II listed Cotton Exchange.
At the heart of Liverpool's financial quarter, where cotton merchants once traded beneath open skies, Fogo de Chão brings the fire, generosity and rhythm of Brazilian churrasco to one of the city's most striking historic settings — the 1906 Cotton Exchange at Exchange Flags.
The Brazilian Churrasco Experience
"Fogo de Chão Liverpool brings the Brazilian churrascaria tradition to Exchange Flags, with gaucho-style tableside service and fire-roasted meats served throughout the dining experience."
At the heart of the experience is rodízio — the Brazilian way of dining where gaucho chefs move through the room carving a continuous selection of fire-roasted meats directly at your table. There is no rushing and no single main course; instead, expertly grilled cuts arrive one after another, served until you are ready to stop.
Beyond the dining room, guests can enjoy an eye-catching cocktail bar, explore a temperature-controlled wine room, or take to the terrace overlooking the square — a setting that moves effortlessly from relaxed lunches to evening occasions and group celebrations.

The Same Ground, A Different Trade
Long before the dome rose overhead, this was ground where fortunes moved on a handshake. In the open air of Exchange Flags, behind Liverpool's Town Hall, cotton brokers gathered daily to trade — reading samples by daylight, calling prices across the flagged square that gave the place its name.
Liverpool sat at the centre of a global cotton network, its merchants connected by sea and, increasingly, by wire. When the telegraph arrived, prices in Liverpool could move markets in New York, Bremen and Bombay within the hour.
Industrial Grandeur, Reimagined
In 1906, the trade moved indoors. The Cotton Exchange rose as a monument to Liverpool's commercial power — a building of scale and ambition. Today it stands as a Grade II listed landmark, its industrial grandeur preserved.
It is beneath this history that Fogo de Chão now serves. Churrasco beneath the dome of the 1906 Cotton Exchange — the same ground, a different trade. Where brokers once dealt in cotton, gaucho chefs now carve fire-roasted meats.
