    What a great little place that brings Brazil to North Beach, Miami Beach. The Bossa Nova Fusion Duo of Tomato and Spinelli playing and singing Brazilian music sets the mood for a Saturday evening dinner. The food was absolutely delicious and so flavorful. We shared the Picanha which was served with rice, beans, farofa, and vinaigrette. The char-grilled top sirloin Picanha was excellent. We also had the Piemontese Beef served over a creamy rice with parmesan and mushrooms which was like a risotto. The wait staff was very helpful explaining the menu and suggestions. Overall it was great dinning experience. I would highly recommend going here, especially on Saturday with their weekend specials and live entertainment.

    I can’t thank you guys enough for the experience. I literally cried when the food came. I ordered a Picanha, my husband too, and the presentation of the food is exactly like we do in Rio de Janeiro, my city. I was speechless, I started crying because that scenario took me back to my country in a few second I felt like I could be home. The food and service was excellent! I worked as a manager in a Brazilian restaurant before, and need to say that the owners love this “little” place and they put a lot of love in everything there. I wish I could give you 10 stars! I am going back there this week before I fly back to my city. Thank you for bringing Brasil so close!!!

    Came to Miami to surprise my parents. This is one of their favorite places to eat here and I see why! Everything was delicious!! The steak for 2 with the rice and beans was so good! The steak was tender and we'll seasoned. The sangria for 2 was good too! Thought the carafe could have been a little larger but other than that everything was delicious! Definitely will be back!

    This is the best restaurant within a couple of miles. The menu has a number of interesting dishes that I haven't seen elsewhere, and the food preparation is quite a bit better than you would expect from a neighborhood restaurant. If you're in the area and you're hungry, this is your best bet (from someone who lives in the neighborhood and has tried every other restaurant nearby). To get better food, you need to go to South Beach, Surfside, or Miami.

    I can say that I felt like home visiting Little Brazil!! The place was so comfy and welcoming, great Brazilian playlist and the food tasted like I was in my mom’s kitchen! We went there two days in a row: first one for lunch/snack and we had shrimp and beef pastel, coxinha and queijo coalho! So yummy!!! Came back next day for lunch before heading back to MN and had strogonoff, picanha and more cheese! We’d definitely go back there when in town. Really authentic place and we had great service from Barbara (owner) and Poliana. Thank you ladies 🍛🤤

    Nice food and a nice touch with a free Cafe Cubano.

    It is with immense pleasure that I express my admiration for Little Brasil, a culinary gem that transcends the mere experience of dining out. Having resided in the United States for five years and located an hour and a half away, I make it a point to travel specifically to indulge in an environment that is the epitome of good taste and Brazilian authenticity. The food is simply exceptional—a feast for the senses where the meticulous presentation of the dishes is merely a prelude to the rich, authentic flavors that follow. The cleanliness and organization of the space reinforce the quality of the dishes served, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The ambiance of the restaurant is sophisticated without being intimidating, with impeccable decor that captures the essence of Brazil in every detail. The background music is like a masterstroke: carefully selected and played at the perfect volume to enrich, but never overshadow, conversations at the table. As an avid lover of Brazilian cuisine, I must say, Little Brasil stands out as a beacon of excellence. No other restaurant in Boca Raton or its surrounding areas has managed to capture so fully the atmosphere, the flavor, and the presentation that this establishment offers. It is with full confidence that I give Little Brasil five stars and enthusiastically recommend it to anyone in search of an incomparable gastronomic experience.

    Take a break from the beach to enjoy some very good Brazilian fare. With a varied menu - including many vegan and vegetarian options, Little Brazil offers a pleasant environment and good service. We had the dadinho de tapioca (tapioca and cheese fried cubes) as appetizer, and the feijoada (black bean stew) and the risoto de camarão (shrimp risotto with leek and nuts). They all tasted very good and worth their price.

    Craving steak, was raining so I wanted something local. Food: excellent steak, had it with mashed potatoes super satisfying nothing fancy or out there, just tasted great!! -ordered a side of mashed potatoes , was incredible (food reminded me of home style) Atmosphere: super laid back, went in sweatpants, felt super comfortable. Super chill staff and patrons, nobody was yelling or wasted (I went at 6pm), really enjoyed eating quietly and the family atmosphere -family friendly! Staff/ service; really kind and nice, I made slight adjustments to my order (did not want sides or rice that would normally come with the order) they accommodated me with no issues. No pressure or haste, I enjoyed eating at my own pace, used to staff pestering in miami or constantly interrupting my meal. Here they let me be. But we’re 1 step ahead: there when I needed them. Only consideration: would’ve been nice to have a cloth napkin, but most places in the area don’t have them, not necessarily a problem…. But my sweatpants were cashmere so it did cause a bit of anxiety. But this is fine: I are without dropping food on myself. No big deal! Strange thought; I like that they didn’t pour my soda and provided a cup and can. Normally places serve soda too early and the ice melts, or I have to wait until I’m served when I drink. I liked drinking and eating at my own pace quite literally !!!

    Service is good, the food was delicious. It was our very first time having Brazilian dishes and our waiter was more than helpful. Had a very good time

    Absolutely excellent food and WONDERFUL with our toddler who is, well, a toddler! They were so kind and patient with the kids, and we were all able to enjoy the delicious food. Perfectly seasoned and the meat was cooked rare as we asked. Would highly recommend for something family friendly but relatively upscale for a reasonable price point for Miami. Very pleased!

    Service was friendly and fast. The dadinhos de tapioca were to die for. Ordered a medium cooked picanha and it was cooked well done. The decor and ambiance is ok. Their flan was delicious.

    It was our first time there. Definitely recommend. The Estrogonofe Mushroom was fantastic. Service was great, good Brazilian music and a nice environment. Felt like home.

    Hidden gem in North Bay Village serving tasty Brazilian dishes. As we walked in, the place is inviting and cozy. The servers also greeted us with a smile. Ordered the Dadinhos de Tapioca to start. These fried cheese cubes were very savory. First time trying them and I'm hooked. We also got the Sauteed Garlic Shrimp. It was delightful. That garlic sauce is perfect to dip the bread. For the main courses, I got the Grilled Picanha of course cause I love meat :) It was perfectly cooked and juicy. Also came with farofa and rice and beans. My friend Jojo got the Bife Piemontese which are beef strips on white creamy mushroom rice similar to risotto. So delish. For the finale, we shared the Profiterole. Wow! What a presentation! Served on our table, this tower of frozen puffs was a sight to see when our server poured the melted chocolate brigadeiro. Absolutely divine! Awesome place to dine with your friends and family. It's casual and affordable and the food is delicious. Good portions too.

    Came here for dessert twice because the food is so good. I highly recommend the gluten-free caramel flan. My fiancee has the volcano and the passion fruit dessert, both amazing!
