Chez Brasil Café é um sonho de duas brasileiras, Eliana e Cecilia,  que quiseram criar um espaço de encontro para brasileiros e apaixonados por nossa cultura. Este Café-Bistro original, colorido e acolhedor tornou-se um point no coraçao do Plateau, frequentado por artistas, pelos moradores do bairro, por brasileiros de todas as regioes de Montreal e mesmo de outras cidades do Quebec e de Ontario. Varias criticas nos principais jornais da cidade ja foram escritas sobre Chez Brasil Café, um lugar que ainda vai dar o que falar!!!

Eliana Saia et Cecilia Santos sont deux brésiliennes qui se sont rencontrés à Montréal en 2005 et qui ont eu l’idée d’ouvrir une place colorée, chaleureuse et sympathique pour recevoir les brésiliens et les peuples d’autres cultures qui sont curieux de leur cuisine, musique ou des images qui ce pays évoque.

Une place idéale pour goûter des amuse-gueules, des plat typiques, originales et bien brésiliens, pour écouter de la musique douce et enjoué, pour entendre parler portugais par des natives ou par les incomptables amoureux de la langue et, bien sur, essayer des mets brésiliens authentiques, comme la Feijoada. Chez Brasil Café est unique dans son genre à Montréal.

Sans doute une place qui vaut le détour!

Our critic visits Chez Brasil Café, 8 Rachel St. E. (near St. Laurent Blvd.)

By Maeve Haldane, Gazette Casual-Dining Critic
February 20, 2009

I popped into Chez Brasil Café on a whim, in desperate need of a snack after a vigorous bout of yoga. I fell in instant like with the homey spot, and it wasn’t just because I was starving that the empanada seemed among the best I’d had, with a thin crust and plenty of nicely spiced chicken. I was further charmed by chewy pao de queijo, which are doughy cheese balls that would make any girl from Ipanema quiver. I decided to return for a full meal, particularly the feijoada, a hearty Brazilian bean dish (derived from a Portuguese version) served only on weekends.

The café seems like a hang-out for ex-pats, with business cards by the door for capoiera, Brazilian dance and beauty services. You can leaf through magazines like Boa Forma, the Brazilian edition of Elle or pick up the latest copy of Quebec Soccer as you settle into one of the comfy blue armchairs by the window and bask in the soft light reflected off the yellow and orange walls. There are pictures of fruity dishes and black-and-white photos of Brazilian personalities, but my favourites were the framed squares of tropically patterned fabric.

Bowls of Brazilian bonbons on the counter attract the homesick and curious with tubes of condensed milk, coffee candies and crumbly peanut sweets named paçoca. Energy fiends will want the chocolate bars with guarana. Wander to the back to peruse the shelves of pao de queijo mix, manioc flour, coconut spreads and biscuits. As for nibblies, choose from snacks, sandwiches or meals washed down with coffee or smoothies.

Don’t pass on the pao de queijo: golf-ball size with a taste not unlike cheese puffs, with a crusty and chewy tooth. Made with manioc flour, they’re gluten-free. On one day, the cheese balls were a bit drier, on yet another a bit airier, subject to micro-variations in oven time, I suppose. They hail from Les Délices Laurentiens in frozen form, and you can buy 15 for $5.90 to bake at home.

On to Saturday’s feijoada. First, our waitress arrived with rice specked with green onion alongside fried collard greens and slices of orange. Then came the protein hit we’d been waiting for: steaming bowls of black beans stewed with chorizo, pork and beef.

The meats looked as though they’d been roasted before being added to the mix, and imparted their flavour to the beans. There was lots of liquid to ladle onto the rice, and hot sauce served on the side. But the most fun accessory of all? You get to sprinkle on farofa – toasted manioc flour with salt and chopped boiled egg. It lends a lovely nutty flavour to the dish, plus adds texture.

On a mid-week visit, I tried the veggie option from among dishes of steak, chicken or shrimp. Chez Brasil’s cooks devised a cheesy manioc pudding-type dish with slices of tinned palm heart, dosed with yolky-coloured palm oil. It uses requeijão, a creamy Brazilian cheese. It may be vegetarian, but it ain’t light. Tangy, gooey, a little salty, spooned over rice and paired with the astringent collard greens, it kept me going all afternoon. A frosty smoothie of the açai berry – this decade’s “it” fruit – brought energy to my step.

Though Chez Brasil is just a small café, it serves up a large dollop of warmth and tough-to-find fare.
