Convenient Brazilian Food

Review Rating
Bossa Nova is conveniently located at Robertson and Santa Monica in the middle of West Hollywood. This is a friendly neighborhood restaurant. Prices are moderate, but the quality of of the food and service is really good. There is sidewalk dining, but on weekends it gets crowded (I never make reservations but occasionally wait.) Bossa Nova serves lots of salads, sandwiches, meat and a variety of pasta and fish. I always try to get some fried plantains with everything because Bossa does them very well. Generally, it is good for a few people rather than large groups because there are small tables inside and out. Parking is a problem, though, since this is WeHo--be prepared to valet it or walk.

The patio is about twice the size of the colorful dining room inside, but both areas always seem to be overflowing with large plates and laughing diners. This Brazilian menu offers the usual fried yucca, fried plantains, coxinha, typical Brazilian sandwiches and hot items from the grill. But a large number of less ethnic options like a sauteed vegetable platter, pasta dishes Alfredo, Napolitana, four ... more

Tips About This Business

What to Drink

brought to you by

Citysearch

The tasty and tangy Caipirinha--a classic Brazilian drink of cachaca (rum), lime and sugar---is a light and refreshing complement to virtually every meal.

Know Before You Go

Most folks sit outside, but more intimate seating is available inside the small, vibrantly colored restaurant.

Parking

Parking can be a headache, especially as evening sets. Try the lot on Santa Monica Boulevard or one of the (costly) public parking lots.

The Scene It's all about the outdoor people-watching at this popular boys' town eatery. On any given night, crowds converge on the lot's plastic green tables and chairs as a handful of young delivery guys briskly make their rounds for the restaurant's robust delivery service. The Food Brazilian herbs and spices infuse pasta dishes, sandwiches and salads that are doled out ... more

Bossa Nova sounds good, but so far every time I've gone I've walked away satisfied but not impressed. I'm not particular familiar with Brazilian cuisine, so maybe I've just been choosing the wrong items for my palate but after half a dozen times I'm just not getting the appeal. Outside seating is definitely preferable as indoors is dark but not in any romantic way. Well, not dark, but not really ... more

Up the street from a few pretentious Hollywood hot-spots, I find the delicious haven of Brazillian cuisine to be a true refreshing delight. I suggest going for the most interesting sounding dishes--Brazillian cuisine is truly wonderful, and you can't go wrong here, so goo for something unique.

It is always crowde because of the prime West Hollywood location, sometimes the patrons a re a bit rowdy ... more

A while back I was visiting family & friends in L.A., Being from NY one always must try new places. I was there for a month, all I kept stumbling upon were over rated fusion joints! No authenticity anywhere! Low and behold, a great friend of ours mentioned that we try this restaurant by his place. I could not get over the decor, but the FOOD was yummy! My next visit wouldn't be complete without round ... more
