A great spot for Brazilian food in DC. Both indoor and outdoor spaces are available. The service was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere makes it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. They have a large seating area. The menu offers a great range of Brazilian dishes, and I highly recommend the Brazilian Paella—flavorful, generous, and beautifully presented. The chicken breast was good but not amazing. They also have a nice variety of drink options. I liked the passion fruit juice.

Very friendly service, the restaurant is very clean and pleasant whether you sit inside or at the front patio. We enjoyed all the dishes, it's authentic Brazilian food and good portion size for the price. A great neighborhood restaurant to hang out for happy hours too.

Came here during restaurant week. I liked how each person had the option to order off the restaurant week menu or the regular menu, as some places force the entire table to participate or not participate. Friendly service all around with good suggestions and feedback on our order. Everything tasted great and was worth the price, especially the restaurant week deal. Can recommend the Mussels soup, the Moqueca a Baiana Style, and the Brazilian Paella. Only downside was food took a bit long to come out. Recommend.

Came here on a busy evening for restaurant weeks, got the pork chops 😋 great appetizer (beef croquette) and flan pudding for dessert. Overall a nice dining experience! My friend picked this restaurant to practice her Portuguese and all the staff spoke Portuguese so she was happy!

New favorite spot! The dishes were incredible, highly recommend the first pasta option with shrimp. It was so flavorful and HUGE portion. Skip the cheese filled bread, was very bland. Passion fruit juice was also delicious! The meals are a bit overpriced in my opinion.
