Bossa Nova Brazilian Cuisine

Awesome Service Fredy!!We always enjoyed Sunset Bossa Nova!We used to eat at Robertson since 1997 and our favorite Salmon cajun even got better!!Now we have our Golden Ret and she loves your outdoor patio as well.Thank you

What a nice Brazilian restaurant, that isn't a steak house. With frontage patio dining, clean/open lines interior dining and a small rear patio dining with a skyline view, see pic, it has an environment for many diners. My pic of the bar illustrates the clean/straight interior design lines. On this Saturday evening, there was ample parking in the rear parking lot. The menu is quite varied, most of which isn't Brazilian. I took a pic of the "Order Information", I've never seen such an extensive list - hmmmm. Setting a standard for our meals, I've posted a pic of the pre-meal bread with their oil and vinegar bottle. The bread was warm and light - as pictured. It had the requisite herbs on top with olive oil - good flavoring. We each had amply sized bread dishes for the dipping oil and vinegar - which just made it better. From the menu section "Bossa Nova Grill" we shared the Traditional Chicken, which as you can see in my pic is a pounded and grilled chicken breast. The chicken breast was quite moist. It had a very intriguing and alluring flavor which is a result of being marinated in their Brazilian herbs and spices: all of which was good. This meal comes with 3 sides, we choose: sweet potato fries, roasted vegetables and fried plantains. All were good, crunchy when appropriate, savory as expected and slightly sweet and caramelized as pictured. And under the "A La Carte" we ordered the File A Cavalo. BTW, as you can see in my pic, this isn't a la carte as I'm used to it: it was a full meal. Buried underneath the eggs and the power grains was a healthy sized steak. I'll start with the best first: the broiled pub steak. While not a robust American sized steak, it was fairly sized and thicker than a breakfast steak. It was cooked to order, medium rare. It was very tender, juicy and the savory season salt was spot on. The eggs were cooked to order, and their liquid gold paired well with the steak. My 2 side choices (not bad for an a la carte order) were: black beans and power grains. The black beans were okay and the power grains were good. The grains particularly paired well with the fresh salsa.We liked the variety of their offerings, and a refreshing change from other restaurants.

Had a wonderful dining experience for our first time here. Upon arriving we decided to sit ourselves in the back terrace section. Just wanted to appreciate the lovely view, and the warm weather that day. Our food did arrive upon minutes from ordering. Each different server that came by our table was kind and attentive. We were constantly being check up on. 10/10 service. I ordered the coulette steak "picanha" angus omaha w/ power grains, roasted veggies, and mash potatoes. As for the meal; some of the sides were luke warm, although my steak was cooked perfectly! The marinade was sweet and savory at the same time. Very interesting blend of flavors. Delicious over all. Even was able to take some home. Good views, great food, and overall wonderful vibes all around.

Saturday Brunch with family and friends was a delight here. The location is perfect. As a Selling Sunset fan and this restaurant is walking distance from the Oppenheim Group. This location has patio seating and a balcony that has an amazing view. The menu has a lot of options so we were all able to order something different and delicious. This time none of us had any cocktails but they do have options. The service was good but not excellent. There was a few times we had to wait them to come but they were friendly and got all the items right. We will be returning soon as we still crave the garlic fries.

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner on my birthday this past Monday late night. We couldn't decide on where to eat and someone recommended it since they are open late. Service was good, vibe was cool. We sat outside with the heaters and it felt nice. I ordered the sea bass and my boyfriend got the chicken it was good. Overall, we liked it and give it 8/10. We might try it again and try something different next time.

This one has a bakery area inside with samples of baked goods at the bar area tonight! I always loved bosa novas menu and taste! Good choice and I like the inside ambiance!

We love this place, one of our favorites go-to. Prices are reasonable, beautiful interior, great service, serving sizes are always great. I love Bossa Nova!

What a pleasure it was to drive from Cerritos to Sunset Blvd., it only took about one hour. This is such a great area to visit and walk around and site see and people/dog watch. Yelp provided a number of options and the sushi shop next door wasn't open yet so we decided on Bossa Nova. And that was an excellent move because of the Great service and excellent food!!We started off with some bruschetta and Xinghu (Brazilian) beer (my first time). FYI, despite it being a dark beer, it's very light so don't automatically think of Guinness (one of my favorites btw). The salmon bowl was packed with healthy carbs and it was very satisfying. The more color in your meal, the healthier it is. Of course, I couldn't finish the entire bowl for lunch. My fellow diners enjoyed the steak and eggs and the salmon entree with capers. The restaurant itself is very appealing and has a nice view of LA out back. The bahr area is very inviting. Once more, excellent service from our server and this place filled up really quickly after our meal. Afterwards, take a nice walk up and down Sunset Blvd. Note: Be on the look out for the stars - Bieber, Black Pink, Deney Terrio (Makin It), etc. Although we didn't see anybody notable, except ourselves. One last note: If you're planning to walk around, don't pahk in the lots (even the one across the street) because they'll tow you. We pahked on the street, credit cards are accepted.

The restaurant is located right across from the Sunset Plaza sign. There's plenty of free parking in the back. But I can see that parking can become an issue during peak times. Came in to order a dozen of their cheese breads. They were out and there was a fresh batch being made in the kitchen. So I decided to wait at the bar and get a caipirinha. It was really good and the bartender took his time making my drink. I did not realize that it was Happy Hour and ended paying $10 for my drink. Apparently, HH is from 3-6pm. My cheese breads was also HH pricing and I got a dozen for $9.50. I will definitely be back to take advantage of their HH. I mentioned the hostess that I remember their breads was a little bigger the last time I dined at the Bossa Nova in Hollywood probably 20 years ago. Being that it was fresh out of the oven, I had to eat a few while driving home. It was cheese forward, but a little bit salty. Overall, it was chewy and soft and delicious.
