Brazas Market & Churrasqueira: Reviews & Ratings

I’ve gone here multiple times now, it has by far the best pastries around. They are made fresh and the donuts with egg cream are sublime. I usually go just for coffee and pastries, which are both top European quality, yet I have also gone for lunch and it was equally as good. I love the atmosphere as well since you are able to sit and relax and it’s seems there is no rush at all. If you’re looking for a place to rest and enjoy incredible cuisine this is the place. A gastronomical delight.

Best meal I've had in a long time. Polvo grelhada was fantastic.

Great value, tasty food in a casual setting. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. The bread and olives for the table were a nice touch. We started with the shrimp cakes which are quite large. 6 for $9 is a bargain. I had the half chicken dish with rice and broccoli for $12 (I replaced the fries for vegetables). The other 2 had the "la brazas" steak, also replacing the fries.

Great food from an unexpected place in Danbury, highly recommend. If you are looking for something different and full of flavor for a very fair place try this place out! Doesn't look like much from the decor inside or outside but let the food do the talking about this place. Could eat it everyday!

Brazas was offered under "Taste of Danbury" and I went in to try. I got the Chicken with fries and rice. Very well made. The ladies at the counter were very friendly and when I asked more seafood, I realized both the codfish and squid are the ones to try next!

The shrimp cakes, generous and well-seasoned, are the perfect starter to awaken the palate, complemented by the simple yet elegant touch of bread and olives served at the table.

Service here enhances the overall experience, with kind and attentive staff who understand the importance of creating a welcoming environment. It’s a place where the food speaks volumes, transcending any modest décor to offer a gastronomical delight that lingers in memory.
