Every time we go to Cana in Washington, DC, we have an amazing experience. The atmosphere is always lively and welcoming, the food is delicious, and the service consistently exceeds expectations. The entire staff does a wonderful job creating a happy and enjoyable environment, but I want to give a special thank you to Max, the bartender. He is incredibly friendly and attentive, and he always makes me and my coworkers, as well as my friends when we visit, feel like we are truly part of the house. That personal touch makes all the difference. I recently celebrated my birthday there, and it was such a wonderful experience. Everything felt special, and Max once again went above and beyond to make the evening memorable. Thank you to the whole Cana team for always providing such a great exper

Everything was on point, from food and drinks to service! A special mention to our bartender Max!!! He was incredibly nice and polite, and truly makes some amazing drinks! (P.S. He makes the best espresso martinis ☕🍸, must try!) Whether you're a fan of Brazilian cuisine or new to it, this spot is sure to leave you satisfied. Highly recommend! 10/10

Absolutely wonderful atmosphere. I came to meet a couple of friends and there was live music around 2pm on a Saturday. My chicken and waffles were cooked extremely crispy, which I don’t mind for the chicken, but the waffle was very much a huge cracker. Not worth $24 but the music, service, and vibes made up for it. I would consider coming back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Genovi Jones · Feb 2026

Love this place! I’ve been here for dinner, and also for drinks and dancing. The vibe is really unmatched; the music is always fantastic and so are the drinks and service. Def make a reservation if you’re coming for dinner!!

What an amazing time I had at Cana. I’d heard great things about the place, so my expectations were high, and somehow all of them went above and beyond. The feijoada was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The seasoning was perfect, I loved every bit of it. We also tried the bacalhau à milanesa. I’m not a big fan of fish, but it was delicious. The caipirinhas were incredible as well, it felt like a warm hug and instantly reminded me of home. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the whole atmosphere was just lovely. Everything felt really in sync, so the vibes were there. I can’t wait to go back for dinner and try new dishes.
