Bossa Nova Brazilian Cuisine - Los Angeles (CA)

5 /5 natasha renee: This place came highly recommended on our trip to LA. We had the fish of the day dish and it was delicious. It was like a chicken picata but with fish and mashed potatoes instead of pasta. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and the potatoes were lovely. The sautéed greens had good flavor but we would have preferred a vegetable with more bite like an asparagus to balance out the soft fish and potatoes. The empanadas were really good. Very flaky pastry and the fillings were good. The sauce was interesting. We werent a fan of the cheese breads. They were very dense and I wasnt keen on the kind of cheese they used. The red velvet cake and caramel fudge cheesecake should not be missed. They were exceptional. I was not a fan of the passionfruit margarita. Service was friendly but we noticed that our server was nowhere to be found for most of our visit. It took us awhile to get the check. Overall it was a good experience and we would definitely visit again.

3 /5 Daniel Barber: The service, location and and decor was all great - Bossa Nova is a very cozy spot to eat. The menu is a little bit all over, offering options like pizzas and Italian pastas and I wish they just would have stuck to authentic Brazilian cuisine. My friend got a feijoada bowl and I got a traditional chicken breast from the grill. For me, it was a relatively dry plate - im not sure if I was expected to order a sauce of some kind, but if so, I would have loved some guidance from our waiter. Not bad, but definitely one of the more forgettable meals I had during my stay in LA.

5 /5 Alanna Rice: Such a nice experience! Great prices on kids menu for large portion. All of our food was delicious. Super friendly staff! Thank you!

3 /5 Leticia Campos: Food was absolutely amazing, but the plate was ridiculously small. We got asked by the server if something was missing and sad: “Yes, the plates.” And he went on to say the little tea plates were THE plates. Absolutely ridiculous. Not usually a Karen but this caused the whole table to have fallen rice on it.

5 /5 Cyndi Wright: Great food! The flatbread and Sangria is definitely the way to start the meal! The steak was flavorful and great quality. I highly recommend you stop in!
