Very impressed with the food at this restaurant. My 3 kids and I enjoyed a great lunch here. I had the Brazilian steak and cheese. It was very good and the Portuguese roll added a nice difference compared to the typical "grinder" this would be served on at other restaurants. One of my kids had the Brazilian fried rice and really enjoyed that. My second child had the Carbonara which was excellent (I tried it as well). My third child had the crispy chicken sandwich and really enjoyed that. Service was quick and friendly. If I am ever in the area, I would certainly dine here again. read more

I had a wonderful meal here tonight. This is a Brazilian restaurant. I enjoyed the art work on the walls that paid tribute to Brazilian culture. The decor was black, gold and white. It felt chic with black linens and tea ligt candles on each table. They had light music playing. I truly enjoyed the ambiance. The bar manager and the bartender were extremely attentive. Introducing themselves and checking on us often. We had the Pastel which are empanadas. We tried the beef, chicken with cheese and cheese only. My favorite was the beef along with the tasty srichacha mayo sauce it came with. We also had the steak tacos. The meat was scrumptious. The bar manager suggested the Strawberry Passionfruit Mojito which was divine. Finally, we had the flan for dessert. It was so creamy and delectable. We went for happy hour and the price could not be beaten. Everything tasted delicious, had quality ingredients and was plated nicely. The customer service was spectacular. I could become a regular here. read more

Came here for happy hour and it was a great experience. They only have a few options for food but everything we got was delicious. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. We ate in the bar area which is nice and they have another side which is bigger and more seating. The music was good as well. I definitely recommend going there for happy hour or regular time as well. read more

What a pleasant dining experience. In speaking with the waiter he says this establishment has been opened for about 3 months or so. The restaurant has a bar area with a separate dining area. For starters we had the beef and chicken empanadas which were really good. We Alex for some hour sauce which seemed to be homemade and it was perfectly spicy and tasty. For my entree I had the ribs with yucca fries and my girlfriend had the chicken sandwich. Both of or meals were so flavorful and good. We both enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink and dessert. The service was friendly and attentive. I thought the bar was chic and clean. Would definitely stop in again to try out their food. The espresso martini was strong and I loved the flavor. I could have done without the coffee grinds on top but it was still good. Churros were delicious and a nice portion too! Loved the dulce de leche that came with it. read more

Cana Bar & Lounge - Churros - Brazilian Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

"A Series of Unfortunate Events: Bridgeport Edition" Expectation: My Birthday celebration at Cana Bar & Lounge, because the reviews were glowing and I'm Brazilian--I was craving a little taste of home. Reality: I got an immersive experience in disappointment with a side of chaos. The Warm-Up (a.k.a. Appetizers & Awkwardness) We started strong with questions about the menu. Unfortunately, our waitress: * Hadn't tried most of the dishes. * Didn't know what was in them. * Made at least five trips to the kitchen to figure out if something had dairy. Bonus round: She didn't speak Portuguese (at a Brazilian place) and had zero clue what "Caipirinha" or "Guaraná" were. Spoiler: Two of Brazil's most famous drinks. She also did not know if they served it, so, another trip for questions. Apps arrive: * Pastel and Coxinha: Passable. * Codfish croquettes: Cod must've taken the night off--these were pure potato in disguise. The Main Course (a.k.a. Hunger Games) We ordered: * 2 steak tips, * 1 beef stroganoff, * 2 Escondidinhos (Brazilian shepherd's pie with dried beef). What actually happened: * Only one lonely steak tips shows up. * Twenty minutes later: "Oops, we're out of the Escondidinhos." Great. * Two people reorder (One Chicken Stroganoff & one Chicken Parm). * Another 15-minute intermission: Beef Stroganoff arrives--watery sauce, meat scraps from who-knows-where, and enough salt to start a preservation business. Did not even resemble a Brazilian Strogonoff. Friend ate two bites and quit. When the two "escondidinhos" replacements appear: * CHICKEN Stroganoff magically became a BEEF Stroganoff! My friend keeps it because, let's face it, waiting another hour wasn't in the cards. Utensil Situation: My friend's cutlery was taken away. Replacement? None. She ends up eating with a serving spoon like a pioneer in a survival movie. To compensate the ordered Chicken Stroganoff--now Beef Stroganoff friend had her cutlery, but not the serving spoon for the watery dish. they had to keep on sharing it. Meanwhile, on my Birthday Plate... * This Birthday girl's steak tips? Never appeared. * End scene: Waitress finally asks, "Do you still want it?" after everyone finished eating. Apparently, she and the cook had a kitchen brawl over whether it was served. At this point, I said, "Forget it." Birthday feast conclusion: Drove home and ate cold leftovers from the fridge. Delicious. If you're craving Brazilian food, keep craving, or go to a real Brazilian restaurant like Terra Brasilis, not far away. read more

What a great meal. Great service, friendly, amazing vibe. Try the empanadas and tacos!! Can't wait to go back. read more

I've been here a few times since they've opened and I keep coming back, especially now that they've rolled out their new menu. It's definitely a big upgrade from before! The menu is simple yet offers a great variety of options, catering to all types of taste buds. My party tried the steak tips, chicken parm, tacos, garlic shrimp, flan, and churros--and everything was fantastic. The mocktails were also really impressive. I'm definitely coming back for happy hour since the specials are well worth it for the price! read more

Oh yeah, I have to emphatically agree with the reviews thus far! This is all-around just GOOD, GREAT! Small but specialized "authentic" Brazilian menu; fair pricing; good sized portions; well priced phenomenal Caipirinha's and a very nice atmosphere! The only negative was that our server only spoke Portuguese (thumbs up to the authenticity I suppose, hahaha!). Seriously though, due to the miscommunication, my partner and I wound up splitting our main dish when in-fact we had wanted two. We tried to ask a question about the serving size which ultimately added apparent confusion. Minus this, which was fine due to the plentiful appetizers (Brazilian cheese balls & calamari), we didn't complain. Still 5-star! If I head back to Bridgeport to the planetarium, Cana will definitely be the pre-show meal! BTW: While people were not properly attired, this is the kind of place you 'should' be. read more

I went to Cana to just watch the game and chill. As I got there Amanda greeted me with the biggest smile! She was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and made some of the best drinks I've ever had. You can tell she really cares about her guests and loves what she does. Highly recommend asking for Amanda when you visit. The food was spectacular as well! read more

I've vistsed many times, Also had my mother's birthday party here. Aweosme drinks, food, music, and staff read more

The food was really overpriced for what it was. The pork belly was overcooked, chicken was really just cut up random pieces both with and without bones. Both were served with plain mayo and mayo-ketchup dipping sauces - how uninspiring. I got a filet mignon dish and should have asked when they didn't ask me what temperature on the steak. Well done I guess is the only thing they offer. It was chewy and overcooked. Left there without eating most of the food. read more

Ok- let's start with the location. Easy access and adequate parking during most times. CANA staff is so welcoming and friendly, with desire to have you enjoy the visit m, to the best they can. We've been at night and at lunch and the food is so, so good and selection of drinks vast. The staff is working to be more aware as they just opened, and they do have gluten free tacos and options, but translating takes a little effort, all good. The location is clean, and a quality improvement from our good old "Golden Star" dive read more

Food was AMAZING and portion sizes were very generous! Ambiance is perfect with good music. Servers are very welcoming and will make sure you have the best experience. 10/10 will be back read more

My son took me on a date and this was my first time dining at Cana. I must say the atmosphere was pleasantly relaxing and the service was exceptional; the food was truly the pièce de résistance, divine. The flavor and sample platter, which included steak tips, chicken, calamari, and Yuca fries, were absolutely delicious. The side sauce, which was green, added a wonderful touch. Overall, I would rate the experience 10/10. I would definitely recommend it. read more

Great drinks and food. Carlos is amazing! Wonderful service and very funny. Would come back for him alone.

Excellent drinks, excellent food, excellent service. Very nice place. The restaurant is decorated very nicely. A must try in Bridgeport.

This is the second time we've been there, first was amazing. Food was great and service was awesome. Was so excited to come back. We tonight we came back and it was great. Was watching the yankees game. And i went to the bathroom and i came back and we were asked to leave. Cause a private party was coming in. Were we there for over an hour and not once this was mentioned . I would understand if they told when we came in. 3 mins before we had to leave. Me and my girl have been looking for a place but apparently this wont be it..i feel so offended...honestly felt weird leaving. Lost me as a customer. I will never go back. Sorry for the workers but the manager has his priorities mixed read more
