Best Brazilian Restaurants in Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness

Incredible spot! Went in with 0 expectations, extremely pleasantly surprised. Food was great, workers were kind, definitely coming back! This place is worth your $$$

 Good experience. Overall just wish the waitress would’ve came up to us and asked us for drinks. She only came once, which was in the beginning of sitting us down.

The restaurant was a little hard to find, down a short passage way and up stairs to the restaurant. It was a little chilly inside, they ran out of red wine which was a little odd, and we were there fairly early so it was quiet. To start we had the Mandioca Frita (Yuca Fries) which were wonderful. Slightly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, and the guava jam and aioli gave it an extra nice flavor; and we also had the Brazilian Cheese Bread Ball which were good. For dinner we had the Half Rotisserie Chicken with Turmeric Rice, carrots and okra which was very flavorful, I literally cleaned my plate. The other dish was Braised Short Ribs which were cooked to perfection. Very tender and flavorful. We would definitely return.
