Rehoboth Beach Eats!! Lula Brazil, Restaurant, Brazilian Inspired Cuisine, Review, Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware
Five friends decided to celebrate a birthday on Monday, 9/29. Where to go was the question. We decided to visit for the first time Lula Brazil. This restaurant is one of the newest additions to the culinary trail at the Delaware Beaches. As you all know, Rehoboth Beach is known for its diverse restaurants. Our residents and visitors are very particular about their foods. Some are foodies at heart, others pretend to be….they all want to have a good time, though.
Lula Brazil is located at 234 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-212-2755. Website? http://www.lulabrazil.com. They take reservations!
Guilty!! We were so loud. Thank God it was Monday night and the restaurant was quiet….not at our table. Look at us here!! We are the friends that dine…any time, anywhere, we are game for a good meal…and wine.
Brazilian cuisine is influenced by various cultures. This restaurant is focused on coastal Brazil. They do have the traditional Feijoada or stew with black beans and the Moqueca, which is a seafood stew, among other traditional dishes.
Some of us started with a house salad. The dressing was particularly good, made with passion fruit. You are not going to see the dressing on the photo. It was light but definitely very good.
The menu is written in Portuguese with the English translation.
Brazilian Crab Cakes with salad and passion fruit remoulade was ordered as an appetizer.
The Shrimp Ceviche was very good with jicama salad. Lime juice a predominant flavor.
“Linguine”, little neck clams in a garlic wine sauce….dinner.
A special of the evening was the Rib Eye. One of us wanted it. The Cabi Girl.
The salmon was ordered but the chef came out to tell us they did not have enough so they were also making a special dish, adding flounder…with a plantain puree which was very good.
The fish stuffed with crab was flounder, poached in a fragrant coconut veggie sauce.
We really had had enough food, so dessert was not necessary. But, since they knew we had a birthday celebration, an order of Brigadeiro arrived. These sweet balls or bonbons are made with condensed milk, and very similar to truffles, but a different consistency. They are popular in Brazil and they get their name after a Brigadier that helped stop a communist coup in Rio.
Our service was excellent. We had their undivided attention…..look for some salsa classes…might be coming soon to Lula Brazil.
Have a great day!!
