Everything was amazing, but never have I been anywhere that I was so enthusiastically welcomed, as I was here. On my last day in SF we waited for them to open, so we could go one last time.
I would have had a great time in SF if I didn't make it here, but going here i had the absolute best time ever.
Michele- Thank you for talking with us and ensuring we had the best time! You are amazing and made the best food and coffee that kept me alert until oregon 🙂

Michael was warm, personable, and inviting from the first moment we walked in. A million places to eat in San Fran, But we came back to this place 2 times on our short visit. Home made food and fresh squeezed juice. The coffee and mone were amazing. 10/10. Highly recommend.

Very pleasant experience, I think this place is highly underrated based on how many people were there on a Thursday night. This is a wonderful neighborhood spot and it was so affordable compared to other places in SF!

A Hidden Gem of Authentic Brazilian Cuisine in San Francisco
If you’re looking for real Brazilian food in the Bay Area, Noeteca is the place to go. In my opinion, it’s the best Brazilian restaurant around. The chef is from Minas Gerais—a region in Brazil known for its rich culinary tradition—and you can taste that homemade, soulful flavor in every dish.
My family and I go there often to feel a little closer to home. The owners—an Italian man Michele, and his Brazilian wife, Adriana—have created a space that truly embraces the Brazilian community, both in the food and the atmosphere mixed with Italian tavern.
The service is friendly and attentive, the food is authentic and delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. The ambiance is peaceful, with good music always playing in the background. You can also sit outside, which adds to the relaxed vibe.
They offer fresh juices like orange, pineapple, and more. On our last visit, I had a delicious beef stew with yuca, rice, beans, and salad. We also tried the pork ribs with yuca, rice, beans, and salad, and a hearty beef lasagna served with rice, beans, bread, and salad. Every plate came with farofa, just like back home.
Highly recommend for anyone craving real Brazilian comfort food.

Came here to have lunch and as soon I stepped in the male owner started ‘guessing where I’m from just by looking at my face’. I politely thanked and literally walked out. This business will NEVER have my money.

This is just the B E S T Brazilian food in the Bay Area. I’ve been to many Brazilian restaurants and this by far my favorite. The food is greatly seasoned, always flavorful, tastes like home and cooked with love. Adriana and her husband treat me so well every time I’m there and I feel so welcomed! My favorite meal is the ribs (costelinha) ❤️

Oh wow,...I just went , yesterday..and this would be excat review....guess it will be three years more, before I venture again
When it first opened , ..years ago...it was lovely .. Now it hurried, poor quality food. .. and TERRIBLE service.
Really a French/Brazilian restaurant with a name that is a play on words of a wine bar. I eat. I don't drink, so I cannot speak about the wine, but the food is fantastic and I never like French food before but now I do. But don't wait!!! They are thinking or retiring!!! Panic and get there. The bread and the garlic rice really compliment each other which seems unbelievable. I had the bettered cod fish which was wonderful. I will let my lunch guests write their own reviews. The affogato is like a Sunday and the coffee is the best in The City. Get there before they are gone.
