Café Brazil has moved. The new space is much larger than the last although the theme remains similar. Bright and colorful with walls of red, gold and purple, the tables are covered with blue cloths, and the art of Brazil is displayed on the walls. The eclectic Highlands neighborhood is home to one of the best little restaurants in town. The staff is friendly, very knowledgeable and always ready to make suggestions from the menu. They add to the incredible experience here. Complimentary breads are brought to the table to start your meal. Fried calamari with hot sauce, divine ceviche or grilled Manchego cheese make great appetizers to share. Entrées come with a delightful house salad or outstanding black-bean soup. Feijoada, the national dish of Brazil, is presented with or without meat. Shrimp and scallops are prepared many different ways: coconut sauced, curried with a hint of Thai flavors or skewered and grilled with an array of Brazilian spices. Chicken arrives moist and perfectly cooked atop one of the exciting sauces. If lamb is offered as a special, it’s a must! No matter how it’s prepared, it’s certain to be succulent, flavorful and completely delicious. Entrées come on large plates with steamed rice and fresh veggies. Order mild or spicy and enjoy every bite. Save room for a piece of kiwi or blackberry cheesecake or fabulous mango torte. The decadent chocolate semifredo mousse with mascarpone or macadamia nut caramel ice cream are awesome. The wine list features varietals from Chile and Latin America at great prices. Specialty juices and mojitos are a perfect with the flavors of the food. Although often packed, Café Brazil still has the feeling of one of those undiscovered dining gems, thanks to owners Tom and Marla Zarlenga. At Café Brazil every minute of your evening is a delight.
