What to Eat at Li'Brasil How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Li'Brasil, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Li'Brasil, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Sea food brunch Net 0
Only neutral feedback
“We visited for brunch, and considering it is Brazilian, I had higher expectations for the meat options however it turned out more of a sea food brunch for me which I do not enjoy. The waiter keep coming for clearance even though we were still eating. At some point my husband said we would have a break and then suddenly the desserts were sent. All we wanted is to enjoy a drink during the meal. It gave me the feeling that they want to us to leave as soon as possible. The taste the food is good but there lots of areas to improve. Also the music is extremely loud and you cant hear each other.”

Mocktail amazonas Net +1
“Nice view of sunset and the beach! Didn’t go for mains as were not hungry but salads and appetisers were good. I loved mocktail Amazonas with spicy 🌶 notes, something totally new for me. I liked baklava with jasmine or flowerish taste of (not sure) ice cream, but loved new tastes and experiences. Totally must visit place and enjoy the vibes! Be sure to go at the right season as it was a bit hot”

Tips for a Better Visit
Book ahead. Reserve brunch in advance: a review says the venue fills up, especially when the outdoor area is open.
Try sunset. Choose a terrace table around sunset for the Ain Dubai and Bluewaters views, which reviews repeatedly single out.
Check timing. Friday Taste of Basil brunch was reported as running from 5 PM to 9 PM, making it an early evening option.
Ask about offers. Check current promotions before booking: one brunch visit used Entertainer, while another reported 1+1 on Visa and Entertainer.
Plan for heat. Outdoor seating can become hot outside the right season, so consider the weather before choosing the terrace.
Save valet stamp. If driving, remember to get the stamp needed for valet parking before leaving.

The Bottom Line
Li’Brasil is a Lebanese-Brazilian restaurant in Jumeirah Beach Residence, set within Address Beach Resort. The main draw is the combination of a terrace overlooking Ain Dubai and Bluewaters with food-led occasions that feel more eventful than a standard dinner. Reviews mention the Rio De Beirut Brunch, Friday Taste of Basil Brunch, creative cocktails and sunset dining.
The brunches bring together Arabic mezze, Brazilian-inspired seafood, meats, desserts and drinks; one Saturday menu ran from oysters and salads through paella, prawns, chicken, lamb and beef steaks. Vegetarian diners also found plenty of choice. The terrace, olive trees, music and occasional live performances create a strong setting for celebrations, date nights and group meals.
Cocktails are a particular highlight, with one review praising the Beleza Carnival and another noting large martini-glass serves. Book ahead for brunch, as one reviewer found the venue full. Friday brunch was reported as 5 PM to 9 PM, and promotions such as Entertainer or Visa 1+1 may be worth checking.
Valet parking is available, though remember the stamp. The atmosphere is not always quiet: one brunch guest found the music too loud for conversation, and a diner expecting meat-focused Brazilian food found the offering seafood-heavy.
