The food was so delicious and the costumer service was amazing I recommend this place

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. read more

We were looking for Brazilian food and Cafe Brasil helped satisfy that craving. The restaurant is decked out in colorful decor which really leveled up the vibes of the place. Make sure to visit their sauce station and get some of the house hot sauce, it was great and really complimented our meal! We got the Chicken Stroganoff, Feijoada, and Lamb Chops. Everything was delicious and we shared it all between four people. I enjoyed the Chicken Stroganoff to most, the flavors were perfect! The Feijoada was also great and definitely reminiscent of the last time I've had this dish. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner here. This is a spot to get a couple of dishes to share. If you're looking for Brazilian food on the westside of LA, give Cafe Brasil a try. read more

Unfortunately my experience did not match other glowing reviews. Service was fine. Order near the entrance. The employee patiently answered my first timer questions. The ambiance is nice, colorful and homey. Best part of the evening. Ground Beef Empanada - it was small, not memorable. Black Bean Soup - this was great but salty. Was very disappointed by the traditional feijoada, pork stew, which was underseasoned. Only liked the few sausage pieces. The dish also needed more rice. Overpriced at $28. My friend's steak dish was oily but tasty. For what it's worth, breakfast is served all day and they sell alcohol. Might only come back if someone treated me. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

I came here Sunday 10/5 since I have heard great reviews on this coffee shop, however, was shocked by their customer service I was waiting & the cashier woman started to yell the two people in front of me. At first I didn't understand what was going on, however, after the commotion it seemed like The gentleman said he was looking at the menu to order when the cashier started to yell at him to order and stating this coffee shop is not like Starbucks I noticed that he was going to order before she started to yell at him, but he seemed very startled Customer service is extremely important & crucial for customers to come back. I can't say that I feel comfortable coming back. I hope management has a talk with their employees to ensure that customer satisfaction is their priority The drinks were still tasty & made correctly. The ambiance was tense this day & felt unwelcoming I do believe in second chances, perhaps I will pay another visit in hopes of a more positive experience read more

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! read more

This place is so cute and charming. 4.5/5 for me. The lunch special was well priced around $16-18 depending on what you get and the portions were decent. It felt very family owned, like the staff seems invested you have a good experience. We sat outside which was nice but the inside is pretty cute. But when you live in LA, why not outside? My beef plate was tender (but importantly, not too tender - I hate when it's too tenderized and the texture is off). The hot sauce was great. A great place for an afternoon hang. read more

All right, listen up. I wasn't even planning on eating out the other day but I was helpin' E move outta Sloan's place. Yeah, again, and this time it was the full breakup special. We're talkin' boxes, closet crap, photo albums, a broken Peloton, and two couches. Not one. TWO. One of 'em leather. Heavy as hell. No one else shows. Vince's on set. Turtle? Ghosted me for an Erewhon run. Said he wanted to try the new Vinnie Chase smoothie. Didn't even think to bring one back. Unbelievable. So there I am. Sweatin', emotionally depleted, pythons screamin'. I say to myself, "Drama, you need a real meal. A man's meal." Café friggin' Brasil. I walk in. I don't mess around. I get the Ranchiera plate. Skirt steak, rice, plantains. Side of sautéed onions and peppers. I go all in. Top it off with a fresh lemonade and the apple tort for dessert because, let's face it, I earned it. I moved two couches, bro. Two. Now lemme tell ya. Those plantains? Melted in my mouth like they were cooked by the gods of Rio themselves. The steak? Flavor for days. I took one bite and forgot all about Sloan's emotional terrorism. The lemonade was so cold and fresh I felt my soul rehydrate. That tort? That tort was a warm hug from my childhood nanny. And I didn't have a childhood nanny. Now here's the kicker. I see David Beckham's photo on the wall. No joke. So I ask the guy, real polite-like, "Hey, you want one of Johnny Bananas?" Maybe Johnny Plantain now, huh? He laughs. Doesn't take the offer, but hey. I don't beg. Let the wall stay incomplete. Service? Beautiful. Staff? Angels. There's even a hotel next door. I almost checked in just to sit in silence and process the meal. That's how good it was. Bottom line. Café Brasil is the truth. If you're in Culver and you're not eatin' here, you're a moron. Christ if you're in LA and you're not eatin' here you don't deserve taste buds. Johnny Drama SAG-Eligible. Emotionally Available. Cafe Brasil Regular... as of today. "You can't fake flavor, bro. That comes from the soul." read more

Honestly I'd never recommend to no one . The outside and inside environments is very nice and pretty. The is the only reason I didn't put one star The food was a disappointment, very overpriced, the cheese bread was cold so tasted disgusting. The pastel was made of air inside. The palmito was no flavor , so plain. The meat one had literally a tablespoon of meat . The juice was good but too overpriced since the cup is small and no joke 1/3 of the juice was foam . Wasted of money. And I drove all the way from OC to go visit you'd can't understand the disappointment read more

Cafe Brasil brings together everything you want in one place, soccer on the screens, Brazilian music in the background, and incredible food that's always fresh and full of flavor. From the pão de queijo to the perfectly seasoned authentic Brazilian dishes, everything truly stand out. Cozy, colorful, and full of life, with fresh flowers on every table and a warm, welcoming vibe the moment you walk in. It's the kind of spot where you come to meet friends, and end up making new ones. Fatima and her husband make everyone feel like family, and that's what makes this place special. You'll definitely be coming back. read more

Love this spot. So low key / the tiktok crowd has no idea it exists but the food is A+ and the vibes are correct. Service is also great and the food comes out very quickly. The stroganoff is amazing -- a must order if you are there on a weekend when they have it. It's unlike any stroganoff you've ever had All the sides are great -- collared greens are a star, as are the plantains. Only thing we would have skipped was the churrasca beef steak read more

Good Brazilian food, enjoyed the Feijoada and the Brazilian pastries. Charming place.

I love Brazilian food especially the grilled or fried plantains! Breakfast in a pinch?! Tasty- collard greens to start a healthy morning! Orders can be personalized with egg whites. Passion fruit juice served with the breakfast was fresh, uplifting and brought the sunshine back (after a couple days of rain) in this little hamlet of Mar Vista/Culver City. Coffee was dark and syrupy! Just how I like it!!! Come and check it! The colorful and inviting atmosphere is pleasant just to sit and relax! Thanks for breakfast! See you next time read more

Delicious! Pitchers of Sangria Happy Hour 3-5pm Had 1 of each empanada....each were so yummy! Not enough to share for one plate of 1 each, so recommend getting a few servings. Had 3 rounds of (5) empanada style items, and 2 pitchers of sangria for $125 Parking meters out front Super nice people working there and great service. It's an "order at the counter and the food is brought to your table" kind of place. We grabbed an outdoor patio seat, there are 2 tables, with 2 loves seats instead of chairs which made it so nice to relax with the sunset and a pitcher of sangria. read more

I was in the mood for something outside my usual go-to lunch places. We found Cafe Brasil on yelp and decided to check out their lunch specials. $14 got me a grilled chicken, rice, black beans and plantains. My other half got the steak with the same fixins. We enjoyed the chicken but the steak was excellent. Next time I'd like to try their pork chops. This is a sit down restaurant setup but you order at the counter, you get. number and you grab a seat. I'm not sure if it's the same during dinner time. I overheard the person at the register mentioning that the lunch options are the same as the dinner except they are smaller portions and does not include soup/salad. I love the ambiance of the restaurant (see my photos) - it's so colorful and quaint - very cool place to introduce people to and sometimes it's nice to venture outside of Mexican food which is usually most peoples go-to latin cuisine. I also rarely go to Brazilian places because of the all-you-can-eat meat aspect which tends to be a bit much for me. I love meat but I can't do it all the time. This isn't ayce. Funny cnough, they are connected to a Brazilian motel (first in LA?) which looks just as quaint and adorable with bright colors and cute seating areas - it looks like the kind of place you might see on a TV show where everyone is hanging out in the courtyard. I bring this up just to mention there was a parking lot behind the restaurant in between the motel. I love supporting these types of ethnically owned small businesses so check it out! read more
