Brea’s downtown area on Birch Street is well known for eateries, fine dining and great eats. The Carvao Grill a South American steakhouse is one of my personal favorites. My last trip was for lunch a few weeks ago.

There’s indoor and outdoor dinning to choose from. The proprietor Piaggio (aka Coli) was born and raised in Argentina He’s also the perfect host. I took this photo of him out in front of his restaurant one day during the Brea Farmer’s Market held on Tuesdays.  As for my lunch the serving  size was so large it also became my dinner the next day.

Then  as a nice surprise  Coli sent  over a  very special dessert.

If you’re looking for a wonderful place of lunch or dinner in Brea try the Carvao Grill, check out their menu here. Oh just in case you were wondering, yes there is a full bar.

So give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!  Oh, how about dinner at a movie?  You know the Carvao is just across the street from the Edwards Theaters.  Save your movie ticket and get a discount on dinner at Caravo, (some restrictions apply) what deal!  You will love this place.
