Great little restaurant with a good happy hour. There were not many people in the restaurant while we were there, making the vibes a little low. We enjoyed the food and drinks. They had a lot of mocktail options! The fried food was delicious, however, not the healthiest. read more

The restaurant atmosphere is really nice! Decor matches the vibes and the bar has plenty of cocktail options. The service was good and so was the food. I got the picanha special which included plenty of food. My friend got the feijoada meal, which was delicious. However we did have one misshap that the staff was able to correct very promptly! It did pick up later in the evening but early evening you should be able to quickly grab a table! Parking is a bit limited but we were able to find street parking easily. read more

I had high hopes for this place. It was a hot mess. Orders got messed up. We were misled about the special and paid double what we thought we were going to pay. The food was ok, but not good enough to make up for all of the mismanagement. read more

Little Brazil - Free chocolate truffle offer by Little Brazil - Brazilian Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

Little Brazil was a delightful restaurant to try. While I'm very familiar with Brazilian steakhouses, I have never eaten at a Brazilian restaurant. Our waiter was very attentive to us and offered to bring out appetizers while we read the menu. He explained the menu to us and said that some of the items were seasonal, and some were main stays. We ordered the Brazilian cheese bread to start, which is always a hit in our family. I am a sucker for a good Picanha, so I knew I needed to get something with that. I ended up getting the Picanha A La 5280 and it was a nice sampling of Brazilian tastes. The potato fondant was perfect with the pre sliced beef. The sous vide onion was my favorite, aside from the meat. I paired dinner with a Mango Caipirinha cocktail and it was very strong but perfect. We ordered a bunch of desserts to wrap up our meal. We opted for the Pave and the Flan. Both were wonderful. The ambience of this restaurant was one wonderful paired with the food. We really had the opportunity to enjoy our company and food at the same time. read more

Cute little restaurant in Wheat Ridge. Nice, modern location with a hip, bar-like flare. The menu was intriguing - food and drinks you don't find elsewhere. Also the staff was sweet and helpful. read more

Eu tentei levar um amigo americano para apreciar a comida brasileira quando, na entrada do restaurante, fui informado que não poderia sentar para comer pq o restaurante estava reservado para uma "festa lésbica", segundo as próprias palavras da pessoa que nos atendeu. Nada contra o "evento", mas não haver um informativo antecipado no site ou Google ou qualquer lugar pra evitar que pessoas percam a viagem dirigindo de longe e se frustrando. Seria legal. Ou melhor, ter um espaço onde outros consumidores possam ter o mesmo direito e jantar, seria melhor ainda. read more

Went for the first time with my family! It was so good! Liza was the best server. She knew the menu well and gave us really good recommendations! The whole staff made us feel welcome. The vibes were great there. We had the chicken stroganoff which was tasty, and the shredded beef bowl, which was my favorite! It was so good. Definitely coming back! read more

My friend and I were looking for a place to eat. We both never had Brazilian food and this place had good reviews. Glad we came here. We were able to get seated right away since there's a lot of seating. We ordered the fried plantains which was really good because it wasn't so soggy from the frying oil. For our main entree, we ordered the salmon and the special with top sirloin. The salmon was so good with the yucca sauce. It definitely had a unique flavor than what I've tasted in other restaurants. The steak was also very tender and juicy. For dessert we had the Pave and I don't know what's in it, but it was so good. Prices and service were good. I'm not in wheat Ridge a lot, but I'll definitely stop by again if I'm in the area. read more

Very disappointing and we didn't even get to the food. We walked in on Friday at 4pm because their website said they had happy hour Monday to Friday until 5pm. The moment we walked in there was an unpleasant smell in the completely empty restaurant. We were seated and asked the waiter for the happy hour menu and was told it's only Tuesday to Thursday but he was going to ask the manager. He never came back and another waiter came over and we asked her about the happy hour too. She also was going to ask. At this point we were done and left. Poor service and bad smell. We won't be going back. read more

I've visited a few times since they've moved to this location. The service is always really good and staff is super friendly. I was new to Brazilian food and they have given some good recommendations. The food is healthy, fresh, and tasty. Good drinks too! Priced pretty well and they have a nice outdoor patio. Both times that I've been in, it's been super clean. read more

Our waitress, Liza was amazing!! The food is fantastic...great space, great vibes, give this place a try!!

Restaurant week menu: the options were absolutely stunning: we chose carne seca croquettes and bolinho de bacalhau. Beatiful presentation, deliciously tasting and 4 Star Brazilian cousine.Main course the picanha and the cod moqueca. Wow!! Absolutely stunning and delicious. Desserts: to hard to choose! But we got the mini sweet empanadas (my husband never ever tried guava and just loved it) and the passion fruit cake. Bravoo Little Brazil! You did it ! read more

I had the best lunch today with a friend. The staff were incredible and the food was fresh and super yummy. I can't wait to come back. I would definitely recommend the Brazilian bowl, great way to sample a variety of items. Next time I'm going to bring the kids, they will love it. read more

Stopped by this rainy, pre-snow Sunday to find a quiet dinner. Enjoyed the Brazilian cheese bread and chicken croquettes. I tried the mushroom stroganoff with a subtle cream sauce and truffle oil. Served with rice and mini shoestring potatoes. My wife had black bean stew served with rice, yucca flower garnish and a tasty salad of collard greens. While these sound prosaic they are prepared with care and full of flavor. Our server enjoyed telling us about each dish and helping us pronounce the unusual names. We resisted her efforts to add dessert though she was persuasive. Heck I'm old and can't eat like I used to. A delightful evening and will certainly return. Hope you get our server if you go. read more

I love this cute and authentic spot. They've been in business for eight years. There's a small market inside where They sell boxed desserts like wafers made in Brazil. The service is fast, the dishes are tasty. We had the Top Sirloin Special (Picanha) and the Chicken Stroganoff. Both are really delicious! The steak was tender. The salsa was amazing. I love that every bite of the steak was flavorful! But if you're into chicken then order this! It's yummy! The place is clean and if you drop by and see that there's some outside remodeling going on please don't worry. They're open. read more

The food was so much better at the old location. I would stop by at least twice a week because the food and service were consistently good. If you ordered food to go, the old staff would offer you water or coffee while you waited, not anymore. The empanadas used to be delicious and filled. Now, they skimp and barely fill the empanadas. Don't get me started on the dry texture of the chicken or the low quality beef. The staff don't even ask if you would like sauce with your take out order. The restaurant may be bigger and fancier but it's overpriced and the food is mediocre. Never going back. read more

Visited this gorgeous restaurant for restaurant week with a special menu. The two courses were smaller, but incredible, and still left very full and delighted by the meal. Services was incredible. All staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and genially seem like people who are cool enough that you wish you were also friends with them. While these specific items might not be on the standard menu, it is entirely worth trying the whole menu. They also served a complimentary coffee at the end of the meal with a cookie. It was one of the most delightful dining experiences I've ever had. read more

Love the new location, don't love the increased food/drink prices . Service was great as usual and the new space is beautiful. I'm sad the servings seem really small . $18 Feijoada ! I swear I remember it being 9 bucks and way more food :( . Anyway I'd probably come back for drinks on the patio in the future. read more

Little Brazil - Passion fruit caipirinha - Brazilian Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

I picked this place because I was medically forced to go vegetarian recently and wanted to have a nice lunch with my sister whom I hadn't seen in about six months. Not only were there a nice selection of vegetarian options, but there were omnivore options for her as well. The Brazilian cheese bread completely blow my mind. I've never had yucca flower before and it was beyond delicious. I had the mushroom stroganoff and I loved it so much that I immediately wanted to find a recipe to make it at home. She had the salad which was also fabulous and we both loved each other dishes so much that we split them down the middle and shared them. But when it came time for the end of the meal, I opted for the truffles to go with complementary coffees. Both of us were completely blown away by absolutely everything but those truffles were the most incredible flavor, explosion and sensation. This was quite possibly one of the best meals I've had in years. read more

Where do I even start? Giovanni was the best server that I have come across in a long time! From the start, his expertise and respect were way above expectation. We went with his recommendation for the black bean stew and it did not disappoint. The salad was fresh and such a nice change from my disgusting salad at Yabby Hut (Colfax location) last night. I will definitely be returning and telling all my chef friends what a great experience I had here. I'm super proud of this business for moving to a bigger location that suits their cuisine well. I had been to the old location for plantains (pregnancy craving) so when my mother invited me here, I was beyond excited. I can't wait to go back and try other items on their menu. Oh, and another shot out to Giovanni who ran a good two blocks on foot and met us at the light when my senior mom left her jacket on the chair! Super epic lunch. Thanks ya'll! read more

It's our first time eating lunch here! We are from Florida lost in this cold region of Lakewood Colorado finally to enjoy our brazilian stile of food I had the picanha meat plate and my husband had the grill chicken. Both order guarana for drink of course mouse of passion fruit. In the end I ask for coffee they got us this cute little cups lol. Interesting some customers are native Americans I guess married to brazilian! If you are considering to come this place has a very small area to eat we had to wait for available table just there you can imagine how good is the food. We are thinking to coming back for dinner. read more

My fiancé and I finally tried this place out. We food was ok, we dank-ranked it 5/10, service was fine but slow. The inside of the restaurant looks great ambiance. We've had other Brazilian food before and loved the restaurant that's in Aurora. read more

Was just on I70 trying order lunch and was told that they wouldn't take my order by phone. Instead, I was instructed to go online to their website and order which was not possible or convenient. I told the hostess that they had just lost my business and hung up since I was driving 70 mph. She called me back and berated me accusing me of being rude for hanging up on her. That's really too bad when restaurants are going out of business (my favorite Cafe Brazil just called it quits last year) right and left here. Poor management kills good places like this. Will not be giving them my money again. read more

LOVE this place! Cannot wait to go back. We had the chicken and the beef croquettes, cheese rolls and empanadas. Delicious. The chicken and cheese mixture was unbelievably smooth and creamy in the croquettes. The beef was savory and well-spiced. I had to force myself not to eat all the cheese bread rolls. Be sure to save room for dessert empanadas. The guava and the nutella were my favorites. Service was amazing as well. Excellent wine pairing recommendations. Top notch. Decor was beautiful. I want to steal that tile off the wall and bar! I can't wait to go back at night when they have music. Well done! read more

This place makes you feel like home. You can just tell when people are authentically kind and good and the people who run this place are definitely that. Seriously the service alone made my whole day and deserves 5 stars. Onto the food! I ordered the chicken stroganoff and it was delicious. At first I was a little underwhelmed at the plating and presentation but the flavors totally make up for it. Chicken was tender and the sauce was really balanced and flavorful. I was skeptical about the potato chips but they definitely add a nice crunch and texture to the dish. At the end the server offered a complementary cup of coffee which was a thoughtful touch! Such a great way to end a casual lunch on a weekday. Please please please come here if you haven't already. read more

We came as a group of 10 here while we were in Denver for a conference. All of the 10 people said Little Brazil was their favorite meal the whole time we were here.

Came here with my partner and her friend, both from Brazil (born and raised). The atmosphere was really good, but it was a bit loud from the singer. You could tell everyone there was Brazilian, which was awesome! They had an awesome small selection of Brazilian goodies to take home. The restaurant service was a bit slow for the food, but the staff was great. Regarding the food, it was alright. I got the stroganoff, which has corn. I like corn but was unaware of it being in the stroganoff. My partner and her friend got Feijoada, they weren't really big fans. They also didn't like the stroganoff. The portions were really small for the price as well. The brigadiero was really good! Other than that, we had a good time and they also enjoyed their drinks. We probably wouldn't come back for the food but would come for the drinks, appetizers, and overall vibe. read more

Expensive Expensive Expensive. Drinks are good, food is okay. If you want to spend $120 on 1 empanada, $5 cheese bread, two (chicken stroganoff) entrees and 4 drinks, this is your place. For $120, I can think of many other restaurants I'd rather eat at. I'm happy this place is on 38th and hope a lot of other people support this place but for me, it's simply not worth the cost. read more

As a Prof Chef of 45+ years.... I REALLY wanted to like this place. I did. In reality... it was "ok." Having actually visited Sao Paulo years ago, I remember the food a bit differently. Lots of fresh meats and vegetables and fruits, lots of eggs, ... and very different range of spices flavors and textures compared to the more common Hispanic/ Latin foods that most Americans are familiar with. At Little Brazil... the "Chicken Strogonoff?" was far less of any sort of Strogonoff and more like a stripped-down, not-much-in-it Étouffée (without shrimp) with crushed Ruffles Potato chips on the side. The Empanadas were, again, Ok. Strange flavors/ flavor combinations. Over-all, it was rather $$$$ (almost $50 including tip) for the equivalent of Brazilian fast food/ street food. Very Friendly Service. (to my wife) "Well honey? At least we can say we tried it." Nope, not including a photo because food (over all), unless professionally photographed, looks like cr@p in pictures. (especially half eaten like you so often see here on Yelp.) read more
