Editorial Review for Cafe Brazil – by Ken Langdon

In Short
Residents from all over the greater Boston area flock to this charming eatery in search of authentic Brazilian cuisine and live entertainment. The beaches of Brazil's coastline adorn the walls in colorful murals. Huge sizzling dishes of beef, chicken and sausage ensure no guest leaves hungry. The friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff is happy to offer menu suggestions. If desert is an option, consider the pudim, a rich baked custard pudding topped with sticky caramel sauce.

We've eaten here several times in the past year, and have always enjoyed it. It's especially nice in the evenings when they have live music. The food is consistently good, and so is the service. You can't beat the price.

Pros: good food, live music

Cons: can get crowded

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

We had been here a few times before and had a decent experience...but now we will never go back. We came in at 2:15 for a snack. At 3pm, after an appetizer, the owner checked on us. We said we didn't need anything else now, but would like to hold onto a menu. He then picked up both of the menus...and brought us a dinner menu. The only difference was the prices. When we complained, his explanation was that at 3pm the computer changes to dinner prices.I was really disgusted A. about this policy..because we had been there for almost an hour already and B. after a customer expressed dissatisfaction, he rather let a customer leave dissatisfied than fix the situation. I suggest you spend your money elsewhere...because if something should go awry in your dining experience at Cafe Brazil, the owner does not care if you come back.

Cons: owner does not care
