Omg. Talk about fresh ingredients. Everything tasted so so so fresh!! I will be coming back to eat here. It's a splurge so maybe not all the time but definitely will be back! They had plenty of gluten free options to pick from and our server was friendly and informative.

I really enjoyed my food here. I went in trying to catch a quick bite in between appointments. The staff were very friendly and seated me quickly. My server was very kind and went through the menu with me which I greatly appreciate it. I tried their lemonade and I will say that it is quite tart. I even tried to dampen it a little bit with sweet tea but it did not work. I ended up sending it back. I ordered the kale salad as well as the shrimp pasta. It was so good! I overate and I was happy about it. I wish I had some room for dessert but I could not. I will definitely be coming back to try some of their other options and was told that it's very vegan / vegetarian friendly. Although I am not, I do like to partake in certain foods at times so I will be going back in recommend others go back as well. One thing I will say is that the restaurants bathroom is on the other side of the building which was a little awkward. I had to walk a long way to get there and was confused but maybe it was just me and my sense of direction.

Two words: YUCCA FRIES. Hits every single time. Don't get me wrong. Other options on the menu are delicious but I can't leave without making a to-go order on my way out. This is the spot my coworkers would go to when we had long lunches (when I worked closer) This is a spot I like to bring friends visiting from out of town. Great ambiance. Great menu selection. Never disappoints.

Amazing service and ambiance. The food was good and with decent size portions. I would prefer more protein with the meal instead of being so carb heavy. Overall still a great place to eat and wonderful tasting food

I was listening to Bossa Nova while driving into Little Rock for the first time. My wife said, "How about Brazilian?" "Yes!!" Minutes later we arrive at Cafe Bossa Nova. It was an incredible experience. I cant recommend it more. The food is great and the service is fantastic.

The best restaurant in Little Rock! If you're looking for something other than BBQ, Mexican or burgers then this is THE place! The atmosphere is super relaxed, the food is amazing and the servers are always so nice! Their Moqueca is so good it has me coming back again and again!

Coming from a wife born and raised in Brazil we found this to be some of the most authentic Brazilian food we have had in the states. Authentic food selection and wonderfully prepared I would recommend this both for native Brazilians as well as someone looking to experience a new cuisine. Service was above par and all staff extremely knowledgeable and polite. Restaurant was clean and very well organized and maintained. This restaurant is now in our rotation for sure.
