What People Are Saying About Cafe Brazil

In Short – Tall windows illuminate a mid-sized, candlelit ballroom. Each dish is extraordinarily fresh, served on a bed of rice, with crisp steamed bell peppers, carrots and zucchini. Chicken, fish, scallops and shrimp are dressed in creamy coconut milk with ginger, freshly diced tomatoes and mango, or garlic and lime. Each vibrant dish taps a unique palette of flavors. Desserts change almost daily, and range from berry cheesecake to ice cream with a shot of espresso.

I felt like I had gone to an EVENT and was so sad to leave!
by foodmeister
Oh - My - Gosh - I thought I had died and gone to heaven. When I walked in I instantly hooked into the beat of "Bate Forte o Tambor " - authentic Brazilian music. I was dancing while I was shown to my table. Be sure to reserve well in advance. I was told I would have to eat in the bar when I reserved, but they made a place for me in the main room when I came. I was literally dancing in my seat while waiting for my menu. The energy here is electric! Cool! Hip! All the waiters serve with a very happy smile and high energy. They have 4 high quality speakers placed around the room, and while they didn't dominate the conversation, the music created the hypnotic effect of feeling you are on a sidewalk cafe/restaurant in Copacabana, with the Atlantic ocean waves crashing on the shore across the street. I had the Moqueca de Peixe and it was a PERFECT 10! Did I say it was perfect? It was DELECTABLE!!! While I was waiting for my food I made a trip to the rest room. During that time, my soup had arrived. When I got back to the table, my soup had been covered with a plate to keep it warm, and my napkin had been artfully rolled into a scroll and draped across the top plate. Let me tell you, this is the best continental service that is RARE to find in America. The service is beyond what we are used to seeing here, and is at the caliber of what we would only see in a 5 star restaurant. But this place IS laid back, so it's not intimidating service. Expect the best of the best here. It's a great place for a second date, edgy, fun, cool. There were plenty of people in there in their 50's as well as some in their 20's and 30's. I just can't say enough good things about this place! I want to go back weekly. When it was time to go, I was actually sad to leave. Walking out to the parking lot, I had that same immensity of feeling that one has after seeing a great play, or having been to a great symphony, that you were totally mesmerized and taken over by some form of art. That's Cafe Brazil!
- Pros: The food, the authenticity, the high energy hip atmosphere.
- Cons: Having to leave when it was over.

You won't be disappointed
by MaryOSU
This is a wonderful spot for a romantic date or a business meeting (I've done both). The service is great, with just about everyone who works there stopping by your table throughout the night. The food is delicious, tends to be on the spicy side, so consider yourself warned. Your meal is presented as artwork, just beautiful. I was there last time with a large group and everyone had a different entree... all were delicious. You won't be disappointed.
- Pros: service, menu, small atmosphere, presentation
- Cons: none

Well worth the price
by Gr8Palate
I was sorry to read that LuvDenvFood had such a disappointing experience. Perhaps requesting the table you'd like vs. being unhappy with what you're given would've worked. Please try again, their service is almost always spot on (I've never, ever had the experience you did). I wish they'd open for lunch - they are pricey and it would give people the opportunity to try the cuisine without such a monetary commitment. That said, the food here is absolutely exquisite. I've tried almost everything on the menu and have yet to find a loser. You just can't beat fresh, fresh, fresh!
- Pros: The Food! Always superbly fresh and tasty.
- Cons: This place could expand again and still be too small.
