Right in the heart of Austin on Burnet Road you'll find a trendy, locally owned Brazilian restaurant with lots to offer.  Owner Magna Sampaio dishes up a variety of eclectic Brazilian entrées which are as large a cultural mix as Brazil and America along with the promise that the food is exotic and exciting, yet still familiar.

Perfect example...  the Pailla Brasileira is a Saffron seasoned rice, sautéed with mussels, sausage, chicken, shrimp, scallions, peppers, peas and carrots.  This entrée reminded us of Jambalaya, with a few twists and turns.

Gluten Free people take note...  One of the common Brazilian appetizers offered at Sampaio's is Pao de Queijo, baked cheese bread.  Finally, bread that you can eat!  And Sampaio's is one of the few restaurants in Austin that actually offers a Gluten free menu.  Of course, they also offer a vegetarian menu, which in recent times seems to almost be a requirement in Austin.

For the rest of us carnivores, this restaurant offers a number of seafood choices from shrimp to salmon, and Red Snapper, yet still offering steak, chicken and pork.  Speaking of which, we all agreed on a favorite plate at Sampaio's...  Porco Grelhado.  We HIGHLY recommend that you try this one.  It's a Grilled, coffee crusted, super tender pork creation that comes topped with a spicy cherry sauce and complimented by goat cheese yuca mashed potatoes and grilled squash and zuccini.  Outstanding!  Obviously we fit right in with their regular customers on this one.  It's the crowd favorite.

And if you've never tried Escargot, here's your opportunity.  You might actually be surprised at the texture, flavor and the price of this one.  We admittedly are not experts when it comes to delicacy items, but this one is not as pricy as we would have all imagined it would be.



We also love the atmosphere at Sampaio's, the dining room is elegant and comfortable and offers a full bar along with a comfortable patio dining area to match.  Austin loves local businesses and this one is another opportunity for you to get out and try something different.
 
Bom apetite!
