VIA BRAZIL CAFE & MARKET – Brazilian
Part cafe, part Brazilian market on North Monroe, run by the family behind the Mexican restaurant next door. The snacks are the draw: coxinha, polenta frita, pamonha, cheese bread plain or stuffed, rice and beans, and the Misto Completo - ham, cheese, bacon and tomato under a fried egg on a fresh French roll. Caipirinhas and desserts round it out, and there is live music some evenings. Diners talk about the warmth of the owners as much as the food, and about finally finding the real thing in Tallahassee.
