Café Brasil is located on Washington Boulevard between McLaughlin and Inglewood. It can be found on the south side of the street, next to the Villa Brasil Motel, with which it is affiliated. The restaurant and motel share a parking lot. The restaurant offers late breakfast, hot sandwiches, pastas, grilled seafood and salads. Vegetarian and dairy-free options are available. It also has an executive lunch.
Oasis is a very special place indeed. At any time of day, you can find Brazilian construction workers in mud-splattered clothing, Tufts students in pastels and plaid, cops in uniform and just about anyone who enjoys heaping portions of Brazilian BBQ, called churrasco. There is a buffet on week nights, while at other times your meal is priced by weight. There is limited free parking due to Oasis's popularity, but diners would climb mountains, not to mention wait for a parking place, for these succulent cuts of meat.
Opened in 2010 and located in the Factoria Mall parking lot, Novilhos aims to bring the Brazilian steakhouse concept to Bellevue. Patrons eat from an all-you-can-eat, prix-fixe menu that includes 15 different cuts of meat ranging from filet mignon and sirloin to chicken and pork. Button cards on the table signify when the gaucho should come to the table to offer more meats.
The menu is set at $42.50 per person before drinks and dessert. While definitely geared toward the meat eater, the large contemporary restaurant also has a vegetarian option that includes unlimited salad bar options. A full bar, separated from the restaurant, is open during lunch and dinner.
