Little Brazil sits in North Beach with a room decorated in references to home: wavy mosaic patterns recalling Rio de Janeiro's sidewalks, a nod to São Paulo's art museum, and a disco ball that has nothing to do with Brazil but stays anyway. The restaurant seats 50, keeping things close and casual rather than sprawling.
The menu runs through Brazilian staples — churrasco-style grilled meats, feijoada, and other beef-based stews alongside rice, beans, and seafood. Starters worth noting include tapioca squares with sweet chili sauce, garlicky shrimp pastéis, and pão de queijo. Estrogonofe dishes arrive in a creamy, tangy sauce, and the moqueca is a standout among the heartier plates. Portions run large enough that meals meant for one regularly feed two or three.
