RFT - Restaurant 2008 Poll

The votes are in...

And the winner in the category of Favorite South American Restaurant is...

Yemanja Brasil Restautante.

Yes, that's right patrons. Thanks to your votes; you made us the 1st Place Winners in the category of South American Restaurant in the Riverfront Times' Restaurant 2008 Poll.

Not only did we win the 1st Place category, we also placed in the Top Five in two other categories. We got 4th place for Favorite Outdoor/Patio, and the other placing really shocked us - 2nd Place Favorite Mojito. Favorite mojito, what mojito? Since when did we ever make a mojito? Oh, it must be the "Brazilian Mojito" - the one without mint and club soda. Why, that's the Brazilian National drink - the Caipirinha, not mojito. We know what all you patrons meant by that, and we appreciate your votes. Maybe next year the RFT will have a category for the caipirinha. Caipirinhas now over 100,000 served at Yemanja.

Once again, thank you all for your voting. We appreciate your patronage.

Latest in Hot and Cold Dessert

Churros doce de Leite
Carmel filled Brazilian Donut

The hottest dish at Yemanja in not only hot, but it's cold. The latest rave of our guest have been our homemade Churros dessert. This dish features not one but two hot, golden-fried tubular doughnuts rolled in cinnamon-sugar, filled with fresh-made Carmel and is served around two cold, creamy vanilla ice cream scoops, then topped with more Carmel swirls.

Top your evening off with the hot/cold Churros dessert and an espresso or cappuccino - what a perfect combination. Inquire with you server for further details.
