Ipanema Cafe

This Brazilian 🇧🇷 restaurant was amazing!!!!! I decided to give it a try looking for good Brazilian food and I must say I found my place to eat here Connecticut. I’m a trucker from Philadelphia and for trucker’s it’s hard to find a good restaurant but this place I’ll give it a 100 stars and not to mention the atmosphere is great as well with friendly staff and people!!!!!!Everything they have there is very good I will definitely come back. 🇧🇷🇺🇸🇵🇷

Really good Brazilian & Portuguese food. We got fries (cut the way they should be), Bifanas, a Frango Chicken sandwich, and Bacahlou and everything was very good. Delivery was pretty quick even though we're ~20 minutes away, and food was still warm. My only wish is that the fries were more salted, but I recognize that may not be the traditional way, and that's easy enough for me to fix. Will definitely be ordering again!

This Brazilian/Portuguese themed establishment has two half-decent pool tables for pool sharps, both locals and those who used to shoot at Red Rock which no longer has a pool table. The patrons are regulars from the Hartford/Parkville area. It's a restaurant, bar and a pool room. I only frequent the pool room in the back and it's good enough for me. Their food is really good but pricy, like everything else, even before the current inflationary trend. English is not spoken by all here but it's a nice place. So Portuguese and Spanish can be helpful.

After continuously passing by and having visited other Brazilian restaurants nearby, I finally decided to stop in. Here is my review: Customer Service: The waitress was very friendly and kind throughout the whole encounter. So I gave 2 stars for her but really she gets 5. The food: BLAND! Not what I expected but the rice had no flavor, the chicken not much either. The portion was ok. I ordered a Tres- Leches cake that didn’t taste like it. It didn’t have the good spongy cake consistency to it and there was hardly any milk. It wasn’t good! The Price: The $18 I paid for the meal wasn’t worth it! The slice of cake was almost $6! Wow! You’re better off going to Banana Brazil and getting a slice there that taste good for less than $6 and bigger slice too! A can of soda for $2.50???? In the end, as stated, good customer service but the quality of the food and price didn’t do it for me.
