    Step into Cafe Brasil and transport out of LA! We love coming here for a break from the chaos. Their lunch special is one of our faves with chicken, fish, beans, rice, and plantains. The lemonade is also really good. The servers are kind and easy going and the ambiance inside is perfect! I love all of the decor and enjoy eating here. They also have a wonderful brunch option.

    Traditional Feijoada is served everyday here , yay!

    First time visiting and we got to meet the owner who is a sweet 86 year old grandma! Everything tasted a bit more homemade than like a restaurant. We were looking for a place to get our feijoada fix on a Wednesday and it was hard to find one that's not a churrascaria steakhouse..(feijoada is usually served on Saturday's/weekends). This place serves feijoada everyday! We also ordered the picanha although it was a bit too well done and tough (should have asked for a bit more rare, maybe medium rare or rare). Got two fruit juices, sugar cane with passion fruit (super good, must try) and a classic orange juice. Lastly we also ordered two coxinhas but they were a bit dry and not as flavorful as I remember they would taste in Brazil They have a small parking lot (watch out for the dip to get in/out) that is shared with the motel they own.

    Fresh Squeezed Passion Fruit Juice

    I've been coming here since the days of their old location, and it's long been one of my favorite spots for a Brazilian-style breakfast. The restaurant is bright and cheerful, filled with vibrant colors and fresh flowers throughout the space, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. My go-to order is the breakfast plate with egg whites. It comes with their signature cheese bread, fried plantains, a slice of watermelon, Brazilian coffee, and fresh-squeezed passion fruit juice--a combination that always feels like a treat. This time, however, the portion on my plate felt a little smaller than usual. My husband added Portuguese sausage to his plate, which is an additional $7. It was a beautiful Southern California day, so we chose to sit outside and enjoy the lush, garden-style patio. The outdoor seating really makes the experience feel relaxed and leisurely. Service, as always, was warm and friendly. Despite the slightly smaller portions this visit, it's still a place I enjoy and will happily return to--hopefully next time with the generous plates I remember.

    What an absolutely fun and eclectic restaurant with tons of heart. I wish I could give it more stars but my vegan platter wasn't all that great. The veggies were swimming in water which made them and the rice mushy. Also the veg didn't have much seasoning or flavor. The stars of the show were definitely the black beans and plantains. I'd definitely go back but maybe just stick to ordering sides.

    Pork Chops

    Oh. My. Goodness. I've driving by this place but never bothered to check this place until my friend suggested it. I came here on a Wednesday at 6:30P and easily found street parking right up front. As soon as you walk in, you order right up front. They give you a number and you take a seat anywhere. This is a family run business. I believe it's an older couple so this is definitely a place for authentic food. The decor is really colorful and they play quiet music to set a relaxed environment. I ordered the pork chops. What i didn't realize is that the pork chop comes with rice, beans, and greens. The pork chop was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO tender. I honestly couldn't believe how tender it was. They have such a big menu that i 100% want to go back and try more items on the menu.

    The food does not dissapoint.

    I've eaten at Cafe Brasil for many, many years and can say without a doubt that this place is a winner. The food is tasty, made from fresh, quality ingredients, the service is outstanding and the ambience is fun and vibrant. Fatima, who has owned the restaurant for years with her husband, even grows her own sugar cane and passion fruit, which she blends together for an amazing fruit drink! One of my favorite dishes is the churrasco, a thin and tender skirt steak cooked with onions, tomatoes and peppers and served on a cast-iron platter. It comes with rice, fried plantains black beans and your choice of soup of the day or salad. The servings are generous and are a perfect complement to the main dishes. This place also has character-- its walls are painted in bright colors and the spce is filled with cool antique decorations. Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite spots on L.A.'s Westside.

    Executive lunch with sirloin, pasties, mango juice
    Jetrina M.

    I went here for lunch with a friend after hiking and it hit the spot! You order at a counter then seat yourself inside or outside the restaurant. It is very home-y inside. We both ordered the executive lunch special, mine with steak and hers with chicken, each $16. We also ordered a few pao de queijo for $1 each and the pasteis for $5. They also have different juice flavors and I got mango and she got passion fruit, juice $7. I paid about $35 for my meal and it left me very full afterwards. The rice was soft and buttery and beans were cooked perfectly. All the food went well together. We parked on the street at a meter. It seems like they may have restaurant and motel (motel is right next to restaurant) parking for free but we didn't not investigate further.

    I was feeling adventurous and decided to try Cafe Brasil, since I had never had Brazilian food before. I asked the cashier what she recommended, and I'm SO glad I did. She suggested the chicken stroganoff (Estrogonofe de Frango) and the seafood stew (Moqueca). When I heard stroganoff, I was expecting something like beef stroganoff with egg noodles, but this was way better. It was a creamy chicken dish served with rice and garlicky kale on the side, and everything was incredibly flavorful. The kale was especially amazing with all the garlic. The moqueca was also incredible. The broth was rich, warm, and packed with seafood flavor. Everything tasted fresh and comforting. The portions were huge, and I left completely full. I'm really glad I asked the cashier for recommendations because these are dishes I never would have ordered on my own, and they ended up being amazing. Definitely coming back.

    I'll have to start with the amazing service from the moment you sit. I never got the server's name but wow, he's amazing. The food was delicious and I will definitely be back. That you all in the kitchen and the counter as well. Oh, I can't forget to mention how beautiful this place is.

    I love coming here for the breakfast. Good service and food. Grab a menu, place your order, take a seat and someone will bring it to your table when ready. There is plenty of indoor seating and a few tables available for outdoor seating, perfect on a nice day. Pay meters out front for parking.

    I came here with my boyfriend and we both left so happy and full! I got the chicken milanesa and he ordered the lunch special with chicken. Every single thing on the plate was delicious -- not just the main dishes, but even the rice, beans, and plantains were packed with flavor and could've stood on their own. The portions were generous, the food tasted fresh, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. It really felt like a warm, home-style meal in a cozy setting.

    We stopped for an early dinner at Cafe Brasil on the way home from the airport. I took my girlfriend who'd never been there before. She ordered chicken Milanese and I had lamb chops, after Fatima the owner's suggestion. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint!!! Everything was so delicious and fresh! Fatima brought our food out and she told us about how she's owned this restaurant since 1991. She's so sweet and adorable! We can't wait to go back!

    I'll be honest this was my first time here, and I'm usually not a big fan of Brazilian steakhouses…read morelike Fogo de Chão. But M Grill in Koreatown definitely surprised me. This is not your typical churrascaria experience. Yes, they have the traditional tableside meat service, but what stood out to me was how elevated everything else felt. The seafood options were a nice touch, and the sides were far from basic premium mashed yucca (so good), a salad bar with candied bacon (yes, candied bacon!), plus beans, rice, hummus, and chimichurri that actually had flavor. The service? Top tier. Attentive without being overbearing, and they made the whole experience feel polished and intentional. And let me just say the tiramisu espresso martini? Hands down the best I've ever had. That alone is worth coming back for. Overall, even as someone who doesn't usually gravitate toward Brazilian steakhouses, this felt like a hidden gem in Koreatown. It's giving upscale, thoughtful, and worth trying at least once especially if you want something beyond the typical meat-heavy experience.

    Not gonna lie but I've never been here unless it was dinela week. Perhaps I've just not been around…read moremuch but this place is the best Brazilian bbq experience I've had thus far. All the meats are delicious. I ain't even gonna front, I only eat PICANHA at Brazilian bbq. What sets m grill apart from the other spots, the salad bar.....brother, I've gotta say....they've done it right. Love the attention to detail, everything is so neat and high quality. I'd rather come here than to any of those stupid Vegas buffets. Service is always stupendous and I always feel like I gotta get dressed coming here cuz this just feels like a classy spot. Upscale af. Parking is a nightmare in Ktown, just valet, it's not worth trying to be cute and save a few bucks on parking.

Overall the service and food were good, and we ordered a lot, but we decided to try the BBQ chicken pizza this time and honestly none of us liked it. We let the waiter know, he brought the girl manager over, and that's where the experience went downhill. She came to the table with a bad attitude, like we offended her or something. I tried to explain we just didn't like the pizza, nothing personal, but she didn't offer any solution at all. No replacement, no refund, nothing. Just the attitude alone was enough to throw everything off. I still paid for everything and even tipped 18.8%, but what bothered me wasn't the money, it was the principle of how the situation was handled. Good restaurants take care of their customers. Even offering something simple like a different pizza or taking it off the bill would've gone a long way. I've been to plenty of nicer spots like 71 Above, Steak 48, Inn of the Seventh Ray, and they always handle things professionally when something isn't right. That just didn't happen here. I go to Bossa Nova almost every Saturday, but after this experience I won't be coming back to this location.
