BRASIL

---

The place seems to have been put together in pieces. The front room with the counter is crowded with tables and is dimly lit. The back rooms are well lit. They also house a constantly changing display of art.

The inside of Brasil is supposed to be smoke-free but usually isn't. There is a covered patio that tends to get pretty smoky when the no-smoking policy is enforced.

Brasil isn't just known for its coffee. They have vegetable juice concoctions (sorry, we weren't that brave), entrees, pastries, brownies and just about everything else. Wine and a large selection of draft and bottled beer are also available.

Brasil occasionally hosts entertainment, so give them a call if you are interested. The usual selection of free newspapers is available.

Brasil is under five minutes away if you take Dunlavy Street from Bissonett north to Westheimer.
