Was so good I couldn't take a photo fast enough! The appetizer platter was incredible absolutely love the lasagna too. Best food ive had in ages and very authentic...mind the lasagna was so good I got a picture halfway through

We got there right as they were opening and had the whole place to ourselves for lunch, so it was like we had a private chef. There was only one person working and she was great. She even helped us learn to pronounce some of the things on the menu. We had never tried Brazilian food before, and will make a point of returning next time we're in town. Everything was very good.

Very tasty, rich, filling food. At first, when I saw the portion sizes I was worried that I would still be hungry after dinner. However, the food was delicous, and very filling. The waitress was very attentive. We will be back.

Great restaurant with great food and amazing vibe and design! We had a great time there, and enjoyed our food and their homemade drinks/juices! Their service was good and the lady who took our order and served our food was very nice and kind. We will go back to try their other dishes as it seems like most of their dishes are delicious. Their portions are good for one and each person should order their own dish. Check them out!

We had such a great lunch! Everything was so good and the atmosphere so warm and welcoming. I highly recommend you to stop by and try some of Lili's recommendations. Thank you for this great moment !

The mood and ambiance were really nice with music, chill lighting and a quiet atmosphere. The food was delicious and very flavorful, and dessert was amazing! The lemonade was different than regular lemonade and something that was unexpected but delicious. The waitress was very kind, attentive, and understanding when we had questions. We will definitely go back and bring family.

We came at the in-between hour and it was empty, but the atmosphere is fun, colorful, and beautiful; just like the Brazilian culture! We started with the appetizer sampler and were not disappointed. Only complaint would be my wife's dislike of rosemary / fennel and it was featured in two of the sampler's offerings. Then we had the Sandwich De Frango and Sandwich De Picanha. Surprisingly, the Frango had better taste. There was something on the Picanha that took away from the meat, which also was slightly grisly and not as tender as expected. (Past experience being Brazilian BBQ where the Picanha melted in your mouth.) That being said, still a very good and tasty sandwich. The side salads were fresh, clean, and simple with a sweet vinegar based dressing that was absolutely delicious. The only let down on the service was that the lovely young woman was not Brazilian, otherwise, she was beautiful, amazing, and helpful. Lots of food, but prices were higher than expected.

Excellent food, excellent service. I like when your server checks on you several times to make sure everything's right. And Julia did. I think this place that ten!

Went to Lili’s for the first time. The atmosphere she has created was warm and welcoming. The food was amazing!Meats were tender, sauces were full of flavor, as were the beans. The little salad with the fresh tomato salsa gave the dishes a great burst of freshness. My only critique, just needed a little salt to really bring the amazing flavors over the top. This place most definitely will be on my list of go to’s!

I always choose a restaurant where as I know I cannot make it at home. Love these flavors! Spiced just enough whereas the proteins and starches are prominent. The hint of sodium makes me feel they have nothing to hide. We got lucky with live music. Cocktail style music. The owner introduced herself and greeted us in the most gracious way. Definitely making this a regular in my life.

Absolutely phenomenal food and Lili is an incredibly kind and welcoming chef. Every meal feels like home, and you can taste the quality of ingredients, complexities of the flavors that all blend together for an unforgettable meal. Can’t wait to have more of chef Lili’s cooking!

Great delicious food! I have been to Brazil a few times and this is just like it! If you want a little taste of good Brazilian cooking this place is for you. Feijoada is a delicious concoction of beans, sausage, and pork and will definitely satisfy your cravings. Our plates where empty and our belly’s where full. Obrigada Lili!

We went here for an event never been in here before. There was Brazilian lemonade made with Sweetened condensed milk and lime..and a drink with Basil and cucumber. Both amazing! Lili is so lovely.Family recipes, buys as much local ingredients as she can.Pork with black beans and rice was AMAZING! They have Vegan and GF options also. Wednesday at 6pm for Brazilian BBQ,so we will for sure be back.

Eating at Lillie’s restaurant is like being a beloved guest at a friend’s home. The food is delicious and cooked with love, the live music provided the perfect background ambiance, and Lily and her staff are welcoming and personable. Also, they have lots of gluten free options!

This is a great place to go for authentic Brazilian food. The owner works there and she is a very sweet women. The food was also amazing. I got the beef stroganoff and it was absolutely delicious. I also tried the chai tea and Brazilian lemonade which were both very good. I would highly recommend this place for people looking for a new place to eat. It's also very cozy with art all over the walls.

Amazing service and food! My wife and I were walking around downtown and just decided to stop in. We are so glad we did as the appetizer we shared tasted so good! We will definitely come back to try all the other options on the menu. So happy to have this in Chico.

My husband and I wandered in to Lili’s Brazilian Bistro for some drinks and appetizers. Everything was amazing! Delicious food and drinks, great service and inviting atmosphere. I think this is our new favorite restaurant in Chico. We will be back and will be recommending to friends! :)

Wonderful find. Food was unique and delicious. I had a drink that was a blend of beet, ginger, apple, and lime that was refreshing and unlike anything I’ve ever had before. Atmosphere was very nice with a live two-piece band lending a joyful ambiance. Waitress was friendly and helpful and very appreciative. Highly recommend and would definitely go again.

Highly recommend! We walked up during a downtown power outage and she came to the door to invite us in and said she could still make us food. Everything we had was absolutely delicious and we would not hesitate to come back again.

What a cute spot! My friends and I tried Lili's for the first time tonight and we most certainly will be back! They had it decorated so lovely for valentine's day. All of our food was amazing, desserts as well! And the service? Outstanding!!

I’m Brazilian and I miss Brazilian food so much, and Lili's Bistro makes me feel at home every time. The Brazilian music playing in the background, the decor on the walls, and the whole atmosphere are so special and brings back so many good memories. The food and drinks are amazing and authentic. They have Guaraná Antarctica, caipirinha, caipirosca, Brazilian beer, and other options. I love the coxinha, and for the entrée I usually get the picanha, which comes with rice, beans and a fresh salad, and it never disappoints. Prices are great and very reasonable too. Every time I’m in Chico, I make sure to stop by. Thank you for creating such a special place! 🇧🇷

We especially enjoyed the Brazilian lemonade, the appetizer sampler plate, the stroganoff, and the lemon mousse. Lili Was our server and so kind and welcoming. We're glad to see a Brazilian restaurant come to Chico!

Delicious food, kind wait staff, low-key vibe inside. There was a very good selection of vegetables in the pasta I ordered and the coconut cream tomato sauce was perfect.

Honest Reviews!

Food was really good! My personal preference, I wish they had a spicier option, food was still delicious! I just like things extra spicy. Ill have to try the steak next time. Chicken was definitely flavorful. If your in chico def give them a try you won't regret it! Food and service 10 out of 10! Highly recommend! The owner and staff are very kind and beautiful people! God bless.

Food and vibes here are good, I will be back for sure! The pudim de leite and Brazilian lemonade are must haves!

Maybe my family and I just have high standards, but the food here was average at best. I showed pictures of the meal to my friend in Brazil and she said the dishes looked spot on, so maybe Brazilian food just isn't for everyone. I guess I was expecting something more exotic, but it was basically the same common meats you find everywhere, just prepared and served in a different way, so I found it kind of boring. The steak strips were a little cold and only cooked medium-well, but were still eatable. Taste wasn't bad and my dad said his ribs weren't bad, but there was more salad, beans and rice on our plate, then there was meat. The particular style of rice they serve is not our favorite. I think their prices are a bit expensive considering the amount of meat they give you, and there's only so much beans and rice you can consume in one sitting. Portions certainly aren't large enough to fill a grown man. It was interesting to try, but it's not a place I would return to. I could make those kinds of dishes at home, myself.
