Specializing in homemade Brazilian dishes as well as imported food products from Brazil. The family-owned eatery is serving up authentic food from their home country.

A self-service restaurant is a common gastronomic establishment in Brazil, where food is made available for the customer to serve themselves, in the quantity and variety desired. You pay by weight for the dishes you take.

I tried some of their hot foods from the self-serve buffet that included the delicious Beef Stroganoff, Feijoada (black beans and sausage), Cassava powder, Beans, and Oxtail.

I also had a beef steak with fried onions.

I had a selection of their Brazilian finger food that included Coxinha, Beef risoles, Hot dog bites, Cheese balls, Croquettes, Kibe.

For a unique drink try the Cashew juice, I loved it.

For dessert, I had their outstanding Coconut cake that I took home to enjoy.

You can find all sorts of packaged products that is imported from Brazil along with some local finds such as Mogiana Coffee.  They also sell a variety of desserts for eating in or to go.
