Meet Clàudia
I'm the owner and executive chef here. I've been cooking for almost 20 years, and I love the simplicity of Brazilian food and the complexity of our traditional dishes.
Eighteen of those years have been in Australia, so alongside my Brazilian comfort food you'll often find a flair for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean on the menu. With a degree in nutrition, I make dishes healthier wherever I can, without losing any flavour.
Tell me a Brazilian dish you'd love to see and there's a good chance I'll put it on. My aim is simple: delicious Brazilian food and a friendly place to enjoy it.

More than lunch. A little party, Brazilian style, most days of the week.
Order & takeaway
Nothing beats dining in, but if you're on the run, order ahead and skip the queue.
What is Brazilian food, after all?
It's warm, generous and made to share. Think feijoada, our hearty slow cooked pork black-bean stew, perfect for a grey Melbourne day. Or picanha, the prized cut of beef that Taste Atlas once voted the second-best dish in the world.
And there's plenty for everyone, with vegan and gluten-free-friendly options right through the menu. Come hungry, come curious. We'll take care of the rest.
