Brasa


Ate at Brasa Premium Rotisserie last week - love it! They have a separate gluten-free menu that includes GF beer. The staff is very knowledgable about the food and super helpful. Most of the food is served family style but they also make sandwiches. We chose family style because the sandwiches are not GF. We ordered the pulled pork, the ribs (they were on special), yellow rice and beans, apple coleslaw, and cornbread for the gluten eaters. For dessert I ordered the butterscotch pudding. I would go to Brasa just for the pudding. I loved it that much.  Besides the pudding, the coleslaw really stands out to me, it's tangy. Tangy coleslaw is unexpected. By adding the apples the slaw becomes more of a palet cleanser. Which worked out great so I could focus on dessert. You can tell that the food is made with a lot of care.  Every time I've been there it lives up to my expectations. Usually my memory remembers the food more favorably then it actually is however Brase never disappoints. 

There are two locations, one in NE Minneapolis and one on Grand Ave in St. Paul. Adam Richman, host of "Man vs. Food" included a Brasa meal on his 5 foods not to be missed on the Today Show in December. You can see the video here. You can also see photos from the "Man vs. Food" visit to Brasa and other Minnepolis favorites here. In conclusion, go to Brasa!
