Yemanja felt very much like a delightful neighborhood eatery. Welcoming, comfortable, and delicious. I tried the beef empanadas, the shrimp “soup”, a cocktail, and the dessert special – caramel churros. Everything I got was timely and tasty, as were the items my companions ordered. I would absolutely return!

Such a great restaurant!
We ordered the empanadas to start. They were so tasty and fresh!
I ordered the Picanha na Brasa. It was a beautiful cut of steak that was extremely tender topped with a flavorful reduction.
My husband ordered the Frango Minas. I wish I could put into words how delicious this dish was. First of all, we do not like raisins. We actually almost didn’t order this dish because of that. However, when we took a bite, (my husband described it best) he said it tastes like home. It was such a warm, comforting bite. The meal, you could tell, was made with heart. It was everything you could imagine and more. The raisins were such a great idea too! They added that small taste of fruit.
I wish we lived closer. We would be going here every week.
Not only was the food phenomenal, the service was just as great. We had Debbie as our server. And she was SO FUNNY. We loved catching up with her and learning about her life. She was tentative and provided great service. The other servers and bartender were very kind and tentative as well. They made you feel at home and extremely welcomed.
This is going to be a restaurant we visit often when we are in the STL area.
We visited Friday, the 17th at 8:30pm.

WOW. This restaurant is (possibly) the best place where I’ve eaten in St.Louis.
Good atmosphere, nice service and delicious food.
It’s a MUST if you go to STL 🙂

I’m very budget conscious, so I like eating out to be actually worth it. Yemanja is one of the best restaurants that I have been to in a very long time! I could tell that the chef is making all of the ingredients/food and is very talented. The food was phenomenal!! I also thought it was reasonably priced too. Everyone that works here was so friendly and treated our table like family even though it was our first time trying Yemanja! I would absolutely go here again and it’s definitely one of the best restaurants for Brazilian food that I have ever been to. Definitely try this spot!

My recent visit to Yemanja Brasil was a truly delightful experience! The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented, and the service was impeccable. We enjoyed several different appetizers like Empanadas de bife, Aipim Frito, Torradinhas Lemme and Dadinhos de Tapioca everything was perfectly seasoned and the sauce was rich and flavorful. Our main dishes were incredibly tasty. The staff was friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable.”. Their sincere welcome and excellent service made all the difference.” “Our server, Debbie, was just fantastic. They understood the cuisine, made excellent suggestions, and valued guest comments. Thank you and we will be back!

I am a Brazilian expat who lives in California and I often go to STL to visit family. In the 25 years that I’ve been living in the U.S., I have never encountered a better Brazilian restaurant than Yemanja Brasil Restaurante. Every time I go, it makes me feel like I’m back at home in Brazil savoring delicious homemade food. The entire experience including food, staff and environment is beyond outstanding. Make sure to try the feijoada or one of the delicious daily specials. And if you are a drinker like me, you can’t miss the traditional caipirinha. You’ll love it.
