This was honestly one of the most unique and enjoyable dining experiences I’ve ever had. The restaurant felt so intimate, and is basically set in the basement apartment and courtyard of a family home. The food was literally perfect. You have unlimited access to the buffet which contains sides and salads, and order a main dish. The black beans were the best I’ve ever eaten. The picahna steak was incredibly flavorful and tender. The coconut shrimp dish was incredible, and the Oxtail special served on polenta was simply perfect. The true highlight though was the staff. It felt like they were welcoming you into their own home. Two women working in the open kitchen were so sweet, and our server was a gentleman who was also just great. They were the real treat to the meal, but the whole thing was awesome. Please please go support this super unique place!
Georgina (sp?) was a wonderful & hospitable host. We celebrated 2 birthdays and had a great time. It was so nice to go into a home for a traditional Brazilian meal & no family drama. The eclectic decor and ambiance added to the whole experience. The outdoor area is cozy. The city view from the porch was beautiful. I saved this dinner for a special occasion and super happy with the experience. Obrigada!
A very charming, cozy and pleasant restaurant.
The service is fantastic and the food is very delicious. The price is pretty decent too. Worth it for sure.
By the way it’s right on the corner of the United Airlines stadium, which is the Chicago Bulls stadium.
this place is truly a hidden gem!! the brunch buffet is delicious with so many choices. the patio is the back is a perfect little oasis. the entire staff was so hospitable. i’m still not sure if I loved the food or the staff more.
The place is beautiful. the chef and staff are friendly. I would recommend it for any occasion. The only thing was the salmon on the buffet was a little dry. other than that the rest of the food was amazing.
OMG! This was one of the most unique experiences I had in my life! As a native Brazilian, I was looking for some Brazilian food in Chicago area and found this place. It is hidden in a residential area. The owner is from Rio de Janeiro. The food was great, the decoration is so interesting, good music, fresh grape juice, I practiced my Portugueseand... the experience was totally worth! I would certainly go back and suggest to anyone!
💕 such a lovely lady!!!! Adorable courtyard for appetizers before a nice private dinner arranged by a family friend.
Amazing watermelon ice cream with chocolate chips that looked like seeds.
A hidden gem! The building stands on its own in a parking lot and we got curious to see what it was about :) Home cooked feels, delicious food, a beautiful space, and a welcoming staff.
Our Senior group of lunch ladies 12 on this outing had a Great catching up on what we are interested in discussing. GREAT FOOD. GREAT SERVICE. GREAT USE OF THE SPACE. LOVED THE DECOR.
1 of the best dining experiences I've ever had and the Hospitality is tops! Georgina is a Treasure. Come for the buffet stay for the Braxilian Hospitality!
