Café Brazil

One of a kind

3611 Navajo St
Denver, CO 80211
United States
+1 303 480 1877

Café Brazil, located in the Highland neighborhood in a bright pink brick building, specializes in flavors of old Brazil. So if you are headed here, prepare your mouth for some of the best black bean soup in the West. The décor is nothing special and the place is tiny, but this makes for a cozy setting perfect for a romantic escapade. The Peixe de Angola, a mixture of shrimp and bacalau in a coconut cream sauce, sprinkled with cashews and herbs, is definitely a flavorful menu highlight. A nice, sometimes exotic variety of South American wines are available.

Rodizio Grill

Brazilian steaks 1801 Wynkoop Street
Denver, CO 80202
United States
+1 303 294 9277
http://www.rodiziogrill.com/ Located in the historic Icehouse, Rodizio Grill is a popular authentic Brazilian steak chain where you can experience food in a South American style. The place is often crowded, especially when the Colorado Rockies are in town, so make sure you call ahead for reservations. For an appetizer, enjoy the polenta Sticks or banana fritters. The salad bar offers an array of healthy treats, while the main menu features a hearty selection of 12 grilled meats. Brazilian ice cream is for dessert.

With a wide selection of fine South American wines, Sabor Latino offers a casual or romantic setting both inside and on their outside patio. Remember to leave room for flan.

http://www.sambaroom.net/ Come on over to the Samba Room, where the flavor of South America is reflected in all things tangible!

You can also choose to seat yourself in the bar-cum-lounge area for an after-dinner drink and some conversation.
