Box Mineiro is a Brazilian restaurant chain that is spreading to the US, and I believe this…read moreHartford Parkville location is CT's first. They specialize in the cuisine of the Minas Gerais region of Brazil. The menu seems to be small (four entrees when I visited), and the choices rotate. I assume that's to keep these family style meals fresh. When I visited the focus was on meat and rice dishes. They come in medium or large collapsible boxes. I ordered the Arroz Carreteiro, which was a stew flavored rice with beef, pork sausage and bacon. The rice was savory, and had good texture, flavor and color. There was a generous amount of meat, and the flavors were punctuated by fresh herbs and acidic, slightly spicy red pimento peppers. They a have a machine that fresh squeezes orange juice. The juice was terrific. I also ordered passionfruit mousse, which was absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and helpful. Box Mineiro has a number of tables and counter seating for dine in. Nothing fancy, but the branding is fun. The cool boxes they serve the entrees in, make the entrees very transportable as well. Box Mineiro is worth checking out for sure. 4.25 Stars

This was my first time visiting Flor Do Mar at Parkville Market. They specialize in Paella and…read moreseafood. It doesn't seem like you should be able to execute paella this good in a Food Hall where people are expecting quick turnaround on their meals, but I thought my Valencia Paella was very good. Per the menu, it had shrimp, clams, octopus, squid, peas and seasoned rice. The clams and different sizes of shrimp were most visible. I especially loved all the baby sized shrimp. The seafood had good texture and everything was well seasoned. People who are hardcore paella purists may say, "yeah, but it didn't have the crispy rice parts that meet the pan (the socarrat)." I wouldn't expect that out of a Food Hall paella place, but if that's what you're looking for, you may need to find a nice sit down Spanish or Portuguese restaurant and wait a while for that to be cooked. 4.5 Stars.

If you…read moredon't want to go to the larger ones in the area, this is a convenient one stop location for a quick shopping trip. It's located in a large plaza with plenty of parking. They also have a location in Springfield, MA. When you first walk in, to the left is where you can get prepared foods, Peking duck, boba tea, Vietnamese coffee, juice, etc. The ladies working the counter were friendly and helpful. In the back is where you would find the meats and seafood. There's a produce section selling regular fruit and veggies as well as exotic ones. In the middle, you can find all the snacks, sauces, anything you would need to cook Asian Cusine. They also have frozen food items. On this visit, I purchased a persimmon fruit and some snacks. Overall, a nice spot to get some Asian food products!

They also have a fabulous breakfast, which I show below. Tofu scramble, vegan bacon and smoothies are always available! Everything about this place is great, the staff is kind and food is top notch. My only wish is for them to move to a larger space one day with seating. There are some counter-top seats and one patio table outside but not enough for all the customers that swarm the venue. We usually get our food to go and eat it at Elizabeth Park in West Hartford nearby, the perfect spring date idea. If you haven't been here yet, you gotta go, but plan where you are going to eat the food first!
