About this restaurant

  • Fancy
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
By bringing together the asado culture of Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina, locally renowned Colombian-born chef Edgar Caro and co-owner Antonio Mata have created Brasa, a South American steakhouse. The menu is crafted from the culinary influences of Chef Caro’s childhood and showcases specialty Prime cuts of meats that include Picanha, A5 Japanese Wagyu and Whole Fish. Brasa is rich in the open-fire traditions and utilizes a modern, dry-aging process with Himalayan salt.

Located on the border of the famous French Quarter, Brasa is walking distance from the Convention Center, Casino and major hotels in the city. Take the elevators up from Canal Street and enter our elegantly designed restaurant that features lively music, lush greenery and a swanky cocktail bar. Perfect for a special occasion, date night, family dinner or just craving steaks.

We also feature ample private dining space available for groups of 10 to 100.

    We have been visiting since they opened. Though occasionally very good the overall pattern has been increasingly more expensive, diffident service and only fair quality of the food. Couple that with an Orwellian parking arrangement in which we had to leave (after seeing a movie) and then come back in order to validate the restaurant's parking discount and we probably won't be back soo.

    The food was okay not a great thing. Service was slow, and overall, we didn’t have a good experience. We ordered a steak platter (it was cold) to share and that was supposed to come with a salad, but the salad never arrived. We also ordered passion fruit pisco sours and were served French 75s instead. Our server seemed overwhelmed and was running around, so we often felt forgotten. The complimentary bread basket was a nice gesture, but it felt like an attempt to make up for the long wait. A 20% gratuity was included, and I don’t mind paying for good service, but the service we received didn’t feel worth that amount. We were celebrating my friend’s birthday, and he didn’t receive a birthday dessert either.

    Very cool new place downtown. Steak was amazing and cooked perfectly. Same with the empanadas. The staff was very nice. The only negative was the bar staff couldn’t make a Martini without using bottom shelf Vodka (Tito’s) because their martinis are pre-mixed. Despite that we will definitely come back!

    Our server delivered dinner at bar, introduced us to Chef, and truly welcomed our International guests in classic New Orleans style and with great care. Brasa - Canal Place is likely a new “Flagship.” Thank you!
