Cafe Brasil

I’ve been coming here since the days of their old location, and it’s long been one of my favorite spots for a Brazilian-style breakfast. The restaurant is bright and cheerful, filled with vibrant colors and fresh flowers throughout the space, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. My go-to order is the breakfast plate with egg whites. It comes with their signature cheese bread, fried plantains, a slice of watermelon, Brazilian coffee, and fresh-squeezed passion fruit juice—a combination that always feels like a treat. This time, however, the portion on my plate felt a little smaller than usual. My husband added Portuguese sausage to his plate, which is an additional $7. It was a beautiful Southern California day, so we chose to sit outside and enjoy the lush, garden-style patio. The outdoor seating really makes the experience feel relaxed and leisurely. Service, as always, was warm and friendly. Despite the slightly smaller portions this visit, it’s still a place I enjoy and will happily return to—hopefully next time with the generous plates I remember.

I’ve eaten at Cafe Brasil for many, many years and can say without a doubt that this place is a winner. The food is tasty, made from fresh, quality ingredients, the service is outstanding and the ambience is fun and vibrant. Fatima, who has owned the restaurant for years with her husband, even grows her own sugar cane and passion fruit, which she blends together for an amazing fruit drink! One of my favorite dishes is the churrasco, a thin and tender skirt steak cooked with onions, tomatoes and peppers and served on a cast-iron platter. It comes with rice, fried plantains black beans and your choice of soup of the day or salad. The servings are generous and are a perfect complement to the main dishes. This place also has character— its walls are painted in bright colors and the spce is filled with cool antique decorations. Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite spots on L.A.’s Westside.

Owners Fatima and Marcelino made us feel like we were back home in Brazil with the rest of our family. This place has so much charm. Food was amazing and authentic. A must go! We had such an amazing experience and we can't wait to come back!

I have been coming to cafe Brasil for the past 23 years (since I was 10). The food is always amazing and fresh. The atmosphere is intentionally curated - the colors, framed photos, wood accents. Fatima, the owner, is like a grandmother to me. Her place is filled with such love and light and reminds me of Brasil. I always leave here happy, relaxed, and appreciated.

Like always super delicious ❤️✨ I love to eat here small bites or full meal. I highly recommend garlic shrimp, pateis de queijo, or a full meal with chicken

Yummy steak plate and catfish sandwich. Great Brazil themed atmosphere and adjacent motel. Bonus points for free pickled vegetables and candies.

What a delightful experience at this Brazilian Cafe in Los Angeles! We had a reservation for 8 & were kindly accommodated. This restaurant was so vibrant, had great music & incredibly nice staff. You order at the front, the food is made fresh, & brought out to your table (w/ speedy service), then you pay after. I had the lunch special which consisted of rice, beans, grilled chicken, a fresh pico/salsa & sweet plantains for I believe $13. You also have the option of getting a different protein, you can't beat it! The food was authentically Brazilian & high quality for the price. We had Pastels, Brigadeiros, a fresh fruit plate fresh squeezed juice. I'm glad my friends & I chose this spot for lunch!!! Highly recommend😊

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cafe Brazil is one of my favorite lunch spots in Culver City. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent. The chicken and steak lunch specials are absolutely amazing, and their lentil soup is one of the best I’ve had. The plantains are delicious and always perfectly prepared. The service is outstanding. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The restaurant itself is beautiful, clean, and has a great atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again. If you’re looking for great food, generous portions, and exceptional service, Cafe Brazil is a must-visit. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🍽️👏😊
