This popular, light and breezy style Brazilian restaurant is punctuated with light colored furnishings to be found in the Na-Li Mall, off Sanlitun Lu Street and commonly referred to as Bar Street due to its many drinking establishments. The chef, Viviane Gonçalves offers a prix fixe menu for 128 Yuan (about $18) and 60 Yuan set lunch. To produce her Brazilian menu she has to search out and adapt many ingredients because the originals are not available in China. Feijoada (Brazilian National Dish) is served on Wednesday and Saturday. A long and varied international wine list compliments the menu as does, the caipirinha (a drink made with cachaça, limes, and sugar with ice).
