Brasa Premium Rotisserie- Northeast Minneapolis

In 2007, Restaurant Alma chef Alex Roberts opened Brasa — a casual, family-friendly rotisserie joint focused on fresh, local ingredients. Inspired by the Latin American and Carribean hole-in-the-walls Roberts used to frequent with his fellow line cooks when he worked for Danny Meyer and David Bouley, Brasa is consistently delicious and affordable. Don’t be afraid to over-order on slow roasted pork, candied yams, rice and pigeon peas, and collards with smoked chicken – they're even better the next day.

Yelp: 4 Stars - 208 Reviews Brasa Rotisserie serves up slow cooked, local meats and homemade comfort Creole- and Caribbean-inspired food. The dishes are served ‘family-style’ with small (serves 1), medium (serves 1-2) and large (serves 3-4) servings to choose from, making it a really fun place for sharing with groups, or being really hungry and sharing with no one. The pulled pork, smoked beef and roasted chicken with gravy will make your mouth water for hours after.
