Little Rock Has Taken Notice

From Arkansas's finest food critics to national food lovers — here's what they're saying about us.

"Bossa Nova dishes out delight" — Arkansas Online's restaurant review called us a must-visit gem in the heart of Hillcrest.

Named a finalist for Best Restaurant in Arkansas by the Arkansas Times — a nod from the community we've called home for over 20 years.

Only in ARK spotlighted Café Bossa Nova as the definitive Brazilian dining experience in Little Rock — and we couldn't agree more.

Kevin Shalin of The Mighty Rib chose our Chicken and Hearts of Palm Soup as a February 2026 must-eat. High praise from a trusted palate.
