Noeteca - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was excellent, and the wine selection was great. The owners are the ones cooking and they are incredibly friendly. We were able to sit outside, as the inside was being remodeled. Overall, a wonderful dining experience.

My experience at this cafe was delightful. It's a very cute little place that served great cheese and great bread, which reminded me of Europe. I spent a nice afternoon there with a girlfriend, chatting for about 3 hours. We were leisurely eating and talking, and the owner was very accommodating, allowing us to stay well past our welcome. The overall experience was very pleasant.

Noeteca is easily one of my favorite Brazilian restaurants in San Francisco. The food instantly makes me feel close to home with flavors that are warm, authentic, and comforting. Eating here feels like my mom is cooking for me. A wonderful spot that I keep coming back to.

My experience at this restaurant was awesome. The food was super good, and the environment was friendly. We ordered the feijoada, crab cake, and beet salad, and there were no leftovers 😂. Adriana and her husband were very kind. We’ll definitely come back!

For a moment, I felt like I was sitting in my grandparents' kitchen, gobbling down their food. The atmosphere at Noeteca is uniquely inviting, intriguing, and rustic. The menu, at first glance, looks simple, but before you know it, you discover a wide variety of food options and specials. You don't come here looking for a fancy dining experience; you come here because you want to feel like home and get good home-cooked food that is nicely balanced and brings joy to your taste buds. We tried their endive salad, chicken Cordon Bleu, and their special of the day, the ribs. I really enjoyed the salad, the endives' bitterness with the slight hint of gorgonzola on a very light vinaigrette dressing – lovely! The chicken Gordon Blue was tender and juicy, and the garlic rice with a side salad complemented it very well, balancing the dish. The ribs were yummy, coming right off the bone, and the dry rub made them pleasant to eat with your hands. The yucca, black bean sauce, rice, and salad made for a hearty yet not heavy dish. I really enjoyed this place and the lively conversation with the owner. Well done, guys!

My experience at this restaurant was truly wonderful. The food was sophisticated and delightful, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I highly recommend trying the spare rib special if it's available – it's not to be missed!

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely amazing. I was enthusiastically welcomed, which made for an incredible start. On my last day in SF, I made sure to visit one last time. This visit truly made my entire trip to SF the absolute best time ever. A special thank you to Michele for talking with us and ensuring we had the best time! You are amazing and made the best food and coffee that kept me alert all the way to Oregon. 🙂

From the moment we walked in, Michael was warm, personable, and inviting. Despite the abundance of dining options in San Francisco, we returned to this place twice during our short visit. The homemade food and fresh squeezed juice were highlights. The coffee and money were amazing. We highly recommend this place, giving it a 10/10.

My experience at this restaurant was very pleasant. I believe this place is highly underrated, especially considering the number of people there on a Thursday night. It's a wonderful neighborhood spot and was surprisingly affordable compared to other establishments in San Francisco!

If you’re looking for authentic Brazilian food in the Bay Area, Noeteca is the place to go. I believe it’s the best Brazilian restaurant around. The chef, hailing from Minas Gerais, infuses every dish with a homemade, soulful flavor. My family and I visit often to feel closer to home. The owners, an Italian man and his Brazilian wife, have created a space that truly embraces the Brazilian community, blending Brazilian culture with an Italian tavern atmosphere. The service is friendly and attentive, the food is authentic and delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. The ambiance is peaceful, with good music playing, and the option to sit outside adds to the relaxed vibe. They offer fresh juices like orange and pineapple. On our last visit, I enjoyed a delicious beef stew with yuca, rice, beans, and salad. We also tried the pork ribs with yuca, rice, beans, and salad, and a hearty beef lasagna served with rice, beans, bread, and salad. Every plate came with farofa, just like back home. I highly recommend Noeteca for anyone craving real Brazilian comfort food.
