Bossa Nova

Bossa Nova brings the rhythm of Brazil to Carlton with effortless charm.

From the first bite, it promises a culinary journey that sidesteps the ordinary and leans into sun-warmed flavours, bold textures and genuine hospitality. It is the sort of place where breakfast can feel like a celebration and lunch can stretch into something more spirited.

Start with shared plates of pao de queijo or handmade cheese puff, and pastel de assado, a Brazillian empanada stuffed with heart of palm.

For something heartier, Feijoada brings a slow-simmered embrace of black beans with carrots, pumpkin, cauliflower, potato and smoked tofu - pour this over steaming rice. Sweet endings come courtesy of churros and glossy brigadeiro, a chewy chocolate fudge, or crispy deep-fried churros.

Whether it is a quick bite or a lingering meal, Bossa Nova invites diners to eat and sway at their own pace. Pull up a chair and find your groove. After all, life tastes better with a little bossa.
