This place has a great location and a cozy, inviting ambiance. It's a gorgeous space.
I guess our server wasn't having the best of days because she seemed annoyed by our arrival.
The menu is VERY limited. It's almost as if it's a café with desserts, finger foods and sandwiches and just happens to also offer a prix fixe dinner to appease.
I wanted to order the finger foods but the choices were too limited so I felt I had no choice but to take the prix fixe.
Appetizer: rice croquettes. Two two-bite-sized croquettes accompanied by a "house hot sauce" (oil and red pepper flakes). Very bland, nothing to write home about.
It took a good 20 minutes for me to get my main after I finished my appetizer and the restaurant wasn't even full.
Main: Escondidinho. I've had escondidinho in Brazil before and this was nothing like it. Authentic escondidinho has shredded meat in a rich gravy under the cassava layer. The one at Cafuné is made of dry, bland, plain ground beef with the odd pea and corn kernel. The portion is very small. If you are larger than petite you will still be hungry.
After about a half hour after I finished my main I had to ask for my dessert.
Dessert: pavê de limão. This was actually good.
The Guaraná Antarctica was awesome and they offer a nice selection of local beers.
I paid my bill with a debit card.
I would come back to have coffee or dessert but not for a meal. It's certainly not good value for your money.
