Reviews for Brazil Gourmet Cafe & Restaurant Columbia in Columbia, MD

Praise for the friendly and inviting individuals who made us feel right at home. The salgadinhos are amazing. The coffee is... fantastic. The desserts are delicious - I never cared for pudim but the ones they make here are the exception. I get one everytime I visit. I had to take a star off for the picanha and filé de frango grelhado. I've never had picanha served well done(it's usually medium/medium rare for the best texture and flavor) and this one was so overcooked that it was tough. It had thatliver taste to it meat tends to get when it's been on the heat for far too long. The frango grelhado was also overcooked andvery dry. Seasoned nicely but difficult to enjoy. Read more

Had a great time here- food was fantastic and everyone was super nice. My dad grew up in Brazil and lives in Columbia- I?m SO... thankful this place is so close to him, he talks about it all the time and it makes him so happy to go there. Thank you! Read more

AMAZING FOOD! Huge portion sizes. Overall worth the visit! ????

All the food was amazing, down to the sides. I thought the steak and fries were too expensive until I saw how much food came... out. Steak (2 pieces), fries, soup, rice, salad, topping. Great meal, I'm very happy. ???? Read more

My wife is Brazilian so I am familiar with this type of food. The food here is really good. If you have never been here or eaten... Brazilian food, two classic dishes that are a must try is the Feijoada and the Strogonoff. For lighter snacks, I would recommendthe pastels. Also, try the pao de queijo (cheese bread). I have not personally tried the desserts here but a lot of theBrazilian desserts are really good. I would recommend branching out and trying different things. Read more

This place is a bit out of the way but well worth the visit. It's a a combination of a Brazilian style cafe, restaurant, coffee... shop, and micro bakery. The decor and style is amazing and the food matches. It also has a very small attached native foodsmarket with ingredients you won't find in your local grocery store international aisle. Looking at other reviews - one thingpotential customers should be aware of is this is a Brazilian style restaurant - while some of the menu items are similar inname to Mexican dishes - they are different and why they don't taste the same. The food is outstanding for what it is supposedto be. Read more

Great food! They have a small market with some brazilian products right next to the restaurant.

Excellent Brazilian restaurant and grocery store in Columbia. Service was impeccable. The food really took me back to Brazil. I... will definitely come back. Read more
