Description

Summary: A Brazilian gem with spicy seafood & lively bar.

Cafe Brazil is a festive, family-run Brazilian restaurant known for its spicy seafood stews and the city's largest tequila selection. The ambiance is sultry, with dim lighting and candles flickering on ocean-blue tablecloths, while the walls are adorned with Marla Zarlenga's vibrant paintings. On weekends, the scene heats up as patrons flock to the adjacent bar, indulging in exotic appetizers like the camarao Brazil and entrees influenced by the Bahia region. The menu features moqueca de peixe, a spicy seafood stew brimming with scallops, shrimp, and bacalhau in coconut milk. The rack of lamb, marinated in citrus and topped with fennel salsa, is also a standout. To complement the robust flavors, a selection of Chilean, Argentinean, and Spanish wines is available, along with a variety of rums. Cafe Brazil promises an unforgettable night of Brazilian flavors and folk art in an intimate setting.
