A great spot for Brazilian food in DC. Both indoor and outdoor spaces are available. The service was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere makes it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. They have a large seating area.
The menu offers a great range of Brazilian dishes, and I highly recommend the Brazilian Paella—flavorful, generous, and beautifully presented. The chicken breast was good but not amazing. They also have a nice variety of drink options. I liked the passion fruit juice.

Very friendly service, the restaurant is very clean and pleasant whether you sit inside or at the front patio. We enjoyed all the dishes, it’s authentic Brazilian food and good portion size for the price.
A great neighborhood restaurant to hang out for happy hours too.

Came here during restaurant week. I liked how each person had the option to order off the restaurant week menu or the regular menu, as some places force the entire table to participate or not participate.
Friendly service all around with good suggestions and feedback on our order. Everything tasted great and was worth the price, especially the restaurant week deal. Can recommend the Mussels soup, the Moqueca a Baiana Style, and the Brazilian Paella. Only downside was food took a bit long to come out. Recommend.

Came here on a busy evening for restaurant weeks, got the pork chops great appetizer (beef croquette) and flan pudding for dessert. Overall a nice dining experience! My friend picked this restaurant to practice her Portuguese and all the staff spoke Portuguese so she was happy!

New favorite spot! The dishes were incredible, highly recommend the first pasta option with shrimp. It was so flavorful and HUGE portion. Skip the cheese filled bread, was very bland. Passion fruit juice was also delicious! The meals are a bit overpriced in my opinion.

We went for an early dinner and were seated right away. The service was fast and friendly. The Coxinha de Galinha was fantastic, especially with their spicy dipping sauce (I found this to be more zesty like a pickle than spicy like a pepper). My Churasco Misto was pretty good; the sausage was particularly tasty and I really enjoyed the farofa and vinaigrette as supplemental flavors. My husband was a little disappointed with his Picanha Grelhada, the steak was a little on the Chewy side but the flavor was decent.

Went there to watch the soccer game after staying away for a while due to a past experience with overcooked food. Glad we gave it another chance—the quality has improved a lot! The portions weren’t huge, but everything was flavorful. The steak and caldeirada seafood were excellent, and the classic Brazilian appetizers were cooked perfectly. We may have lost the game, but we definitely won with dinner!

Went to eat here 08/12/2025 with my wife and 1 year old the experience was amazing and the food was even better the staff was extremely knowledgeable and extremely friendly the owner saw my baby crying and came
Out with a plate of rice and beans right away and the baby loved them. If you’re in Washington and are looking for somewhere to go eat this is the place you want to be at. They go the extra mile to make sure you have a one of a kind dining experience. If I could give them 6 stars I would

If you want to experience authentic Brazilian food, this restaurant is a good choice. Extremely tender and juicy steak with the combination of rice, salad and yuka fries. Seafood Paella was so flavourful. It also has great seating for the bar.

There were 11 of for a birthday dinner and not one had a single complaint. I think everyone ate every bite. Perfect portions. Our server, Ruth, was a delight. Thank you to her and the staff for an incredible meal.
