I've visited Brazil and I have to say, the food was nothing like I had in Brazil. It was definitely…read morea frenchified version of Brazilian food. I'll start with the appetizers, we had the assortment of fried everything, crab claw, chicken and something akin to hush puppies with cheese. Let's just say this was the highlight of our meal. Who doesn't like fried food served with a nice spicy "peri-peri" sauce. We were 5 people, for our plats 4 of us got the traditional feijoada and one get the Bobo Camarao (shrimp in coconut milk). The Feijoada was extremely Frenchified. I didn't even recognize it. Typically Feijoda is black beans slow cooked with all sorts of fabulous meat. This had bits and pieces of sorta dry meat. And, the lone person who had the shrimp said she couldn't even taste the coconut milk, but did like the dish. The desserts were a bit odd. The Pudim (creme caramel) was very heavy, the Mousse de Maracuja was extremely sour, and the Quindim (coconut) had a strange syrupy consistency. The only thing authentic about the restaurant was their national cocktail "Caipirinha", which was excellent, but beware, potent! The service was excellent. The people were so super nice and super friendly. For 5 people, dinner came to 40 euros each, not bad, but it is what it is, "Frenchified" Brazilian food.

Ummmm this place is garbage...I've been to Brazil..Bahia in particular and the food there was…read morenothing short of life changing. I'm not sure who told the chef what she was cooking was Brazilian but whatever. All the dishes I wanted were "sold out" so I settled for some pão de queijo...after being mocked by the owner for my French which I'm pretty sure is way better than hers since some Parisians mistake me for being from here. As I waited forever and a day for my food I looked around realizing the Brazilian dishes coming out were some sort of French take on Brazilian. No thanks! Aaaaanyways my big issue with this place is the BLACK FACE painting that was staring at me as I ate my crappy rolls (wish I had seen the bloody thing before I started eating). Now for those of you reading who don't know by now what is wrong with blackface (everything) then I can't help you. For those of you who "get it" you're best to avoid this racist joke of a place. I will never ever eat there again.

DELICIOUS food + margaritas, reasonably priced for Paris, & fantastic service. PLEASE NOTE:…read morestandards for service at restaurants in France vs. America are VERY DIFFERENT... we were visiting from the US and quickly learned that in France you can expect slower service & waiters who are very direct and will get you what you need, but won't be checking in with you every 10 minutes and won't bring you your check/water/bread/etc unless you ask for it. It's not a bad thing, just different ‍ so if you walk in with the expectation of US-style food service, don't be surprised if you're disappointed. That being said, this was by far the best service we had while in Paris! Our waiters were friendly, efficient, and very kind and helpful with recommendations/making sure we had what we needed/etc. And the food was incredible, super flavorful and deliciously interesting combinations of ingredients. 10/10 would visit again.

Lively and fun the atmosphere is welcoming to all. I would recommend to anyone looking for delicious Brazilian food in Paris.

"Babe, I am hungry". "Okay, what are you in the mood for?"…read more"Something different". Something different was certainly on the menu today - it started out partly with us trying to unravel a bit of a lie told to us by a Korean conglomerate. If you live in a city with a large Asian population you would have no doubt run into an "opening soon" poster for the Paris Baguette bakery chain, which is based in Seoul. We know that the poster features a Parisian street scene with a Paris Baguette shop in the foreground, we also know that it is bullcrap, a careful set of crops and photoshops of their flagship store in Paris mixed with a familiar street scene, slathered with the rotunda of the Institute Francais in the background. Was it a complete fabrication, or did they take an actual street scene from Paris and photoshop the storefront in? After walking for hours around the 6e, we conclude that it was a composite of Rue Mazarin. Of course, this being a romantic honeymoon-of-sorts between me and my wife, truth-punching a Korean bakery chain was just the cherry on the cake...the real payoff was to wander and get lost on the streets of 6e. That does work up a bit of an appetite. Well, there are several things we can do - there are Rotisseries at the marche, walk back towards the Odeon for a Brasserie, there's a fondue place or two right here and hello what's this? A Portuguese/Brazilian joint...and it's next to the Taschen bookstore. The menu...looks pretty familiar - Picanha, Feijoada (they called it a Brazilian Cassoulet...cute), Bacalhau and Pasteis de Nata Belem are also present. The menu prices aren't bad (about 15 Euros) and presented on a trilingual menu? Went inside, sat down at a table, and the owner greeted us...in English. Okay, that makes things easier. We are a block away from the nearest Best Western hotel. We ordered 2 set lunches, which for me is the Caldo Verde (the classic Portuguese Kale soup with chourico and mostly pureed potatoes), the Bacalhau, and for the dessert, a pastille de nata. My lady went for the Brazilian side of things, with a bean salad, a steak (bife) and a slice of the classic Brazilian flan, or Pudim. The Caldo Verde was a bit thinner than my own preference, but still pretty good - they didn't use too much of the vinho verde to kick up the flavor profile, but it was light on the palate and complements the chourico sausage well. The potatoes are barely there, so you taste more of the kale (which are cut into thin strips, like what you would do for complementing feijoada. The bean salad that my wife had was...okay. Nothing too distinctive. The Bacalhau was more of an fritter with potatoes, onions and eggs and served on top of a small salad. It was actually quite satisfying. My wife's bife was, according to her, quite tasty. Not the best cut of beef, but sauced well, with an egg fried sunny side up, potatoes, rice on the side (seems redundant?) and a small salad. Of course, my wife likes her steak more well done than I do, so my opinions on the steak is tainted by the texture. For dessert we decided to switch - I'll take the pudim, and she'll have the pastilles - of course, being a married couple, we are automatically doing halfsies. The pudim is good enough with a caramel sauce on top, and her pastilles has a crisp crust, the usually custardy interior, definitely very serviceable. Overall, a very good experience - solid Portuguese and Brazilian food, pricing is okay, service is reasonably quick and courteous, and the location is next to Taschen St Germain de Pres, so you got something to check out after lunch. Pricing is good, the decor is modern yet cozy. It's close to the metro so it should not be a drag. I'll definitely come back in a heartbeat and give their Moqueca a try.

It was my first day in France and after a few hours of roaming around the city I realized that I…read morehadn't eaten anything. I had passed this place once because it was next door to my Airbnb, and it seemed to have a fairly nice crowd, so I decided that I would go back to check it out! Having gone to Brazil earlier this year, I was excited to be able to eat more Brazilian food and maybe even practice Portuguese ( I know I know..speak French in France lol) So I walk in and without hesitation I say "Boa Tarde" (Good afternoon in Portuguese). The woman that greeted me was very friendly and even asked why I was eating by myself haha. So I sit down and she bring me a menu. She immediately tells me that there is a buffet going on, or if I would like that I could choose any items from the appetizer portion of the menu! That was a QUICK no brainer! Unlimited Brazilian foods and dessert!? Are you kidding me? So I walk over to the buffet table where I see a variety of Brazilian favorites (Feijoada, Tapioca, Black Beans, Rice, etc). I pile everything on my plate and prepare to dig in! Sometimes I can be q little hesitant with buffets because the quality of food tends to go down, but this did not disappoint. The food was still hot, and seemingly freshly cooked. The flavors reminded me of Brazil, and the samba in the background made me feel as if I were back in Rio! As people walked by and saw me enjoying my food (probably a little too much) their curiosity got the best of them and they came in to join the feast! From what I saw, everyone seemed to be very pleased with their meals! The buffet turned out to be about 18€, and I would say that it was well worth it for the quality of food, and the friendly service of the staff in the restaurant. The rest of the menu items seemed to be fairly priced, and are served generally after 7pm.
