Casa Tropical is a small eatery located west of Little Italy, serving healthy fare. Their menu consists of salad bowls, protein bowls, sandwiches, sweets and traditional Brazilian dishes. Vegan option available.
In my first visit I had the Fish Fillet Protein Bowl (large fish fillet, brown rice with lentils, salad). The serving size was big, the ingredients were fresh, a bit bland, more flavor would have benefited this dish.
In my second visit I tried their Feijoada, a traditional Brazilian stew of beans and pork (black beans with smoked sausage, bacon and pork cuts, served with white rice, kale, vinaigrette and cassava flour). The bean stew was tasty, the serving size was good for two people, and I love that they included vinaigrette as one of the sides, in addition to the traditional rice, kale and cassava flour. For take out, the container used leaked the contents; it will be nice if the restaurant switches to a leak-proof container.
Service is friendly. The area is served by TTC line 506. Street parking available.
TLDR; good service, healthy salad and protein bowls, selection of Brazilian dishes available daily
