Born from a passion for authentic Brazilian flavors, Bossa Nova brings the rich culinary traditions of Brazil to the heart of Los Angeles. Founded by Chef Francisco, who grew up cooking alongside his grandparents in Bahia, and co-founder Aurelio, a former army officer turned restauranteur, Bossa Nova blends Brazilian soul with Californian energy. From our humble beginnings in the 90s to becoming a beloved local favorite, we're known for our handcrafted dishes, warm hospitality, and vibrant atmosphere. Visit us for a true taste of Brazil — from our famous Picanha to fresh, handcrafted cocktails.

Jun 19, 2026My family, friends and I have been enjoying Bossa Nova for many years now. Before I starting working from home, I would order lunch for all of our employees (family owned company), drive to Culver City and deliver it to the guys to devour. I especially love their salads. Everyone at Bossa Nova is really nice and professional. Love them!
