The best international restaurant in town with an amazing atmosphere combined with friendly service and the best hand cooked authentic Brazilian food I've experienced in over 30 years leaving in USA.

The place was so quiet except for the boorish gentleman reciting his entire life history behind us. The food was excellent. The service was excellent. The best part is that it was something different. You won't find it on every menu in town.

This is easily one of the best restaurants in Little Rock. Cozy atmosphere, amazing food, and above and beyond service. The chicken crepes are to die for, and you can’t go wrong with some Pão De Queijo and soup!

First time there. Had a long wait to get food but understandable as they were busy. Apparently there were specials that were available but not mentioned to us by server. Also there is a credit card fee that they don't advertise or tell you about. We were also not offered dessert. It wasn't in menu and server didn't say anything.

We arrived at the restaurant around 8:30 pm yesterday night, feeling a bit embarrassed since they were closing at 9 pm. However, the waitress greeted us with a genuinely warm and welcoming attitude, making us feel right at home despite the late hour.The menu is a mouthwatering testament to the rich and diverse flavors of Brazil. We ordered Picanha Na Tábua and Cakes de Salmão as our entrees, and Coxinhas as a starter. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and the presentation is visually appealing.The staff at Cafe Bossa Nova deserves special mention. They are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which enhances the overall dining experience. Their passion for sharing Brazilian culture through food is evident, and they go above and beyond to make you feel at home.While I've noticed some people discussing the price in the comments section, I personally find the pricing to be exceptionally fair. The meticulous attention to detail and the evident high standards the chef upholds are clearly reflected in each dish, making the cost well worth the exceptional culinary experience.We will definitely visit this place again; we loved it.
Svetlana was my server and she offered the best experience at this gorgeous gluten free restaurant! I liked the cheese bread and was absolutely impressed by Coxinias! I will definitely come back!
