Café do Brasil — Restaurant in Berlin

I went yesterday with a couple friends to have dinner and I have to say it was a really nice discovery! A Brazilian friend recommended it. I ordered the traditional Moqueca (a Brazilian fish stew) and it was delicious. My friend ordered Feijoada (traditional bean stew) and he was very happy as well, the portion was huge and full of meat. We also had a couple Caipirinhas, super tasty. I ordered two of them and I barely drink alcohol... The only downside is that the area is not that nice... the bar is just in the middle of some apartment complex and doesn't have the nicest views. But its nice to discover good restaurants in places you wouldn't expect. In the inside the restaurant looks really nice and cosy. The menu is also a bit pricey but you are ordering some traditional homemade stew so it makes sense. I would say this restaurant is worth a try. Don't come for the area but for the...

Great coxinba but too small and a bit expensive, same for the caipirinhas, read about a roda de samba which said it was free entry, then they charged us 3Eur each when paying the bill, really small to dance since the tables are everywhere, would make more sense and enjoyable if they were high tables, also had to ask 4 times to bring a juice, only 1 waiter at that night, dunno if other nights there are more. 3 stars because after all it was a good meal (just like I remembered from Brazil), good music and the staff was actually really nice, always with a smile, something I stop taking for granted after...

Cozy, in a hole-in-the-wallish way. Authentic Brazilian food that somehow manages to be tasteless, where surimi passes as “seafood,” as does canned squid. The love from the kitchen is disappointing, though prices also reflect this with everything being quite cheap. Service is friendly but slow and distracted, though this does not diminish from the experience. The vibe is relaxed enough that you just go with the flow.

An overall disappointment even not expecting much and frankly surprised at the large number of good ratings. I would give it 1-2 stars for food and 3 stars for relaxed vibe, so...
