"If the Menil Museum’s greenspace is Montrose’s backyard, then the patio at Brasil, an American cafe, is Montrose’s atrium. Going from one of Houston’s busiest street corners to Brasil’s serene, plant-shrouded front and back patios is like stepping onto an entirely different planet. Everything looks green and dim. We half expect to hear spa muzak chiming through the speakers while snacking on a mid-day BLT or a pepperoni pizza, or grabbing pupusas and eggs for brunch. Lounge on Brasil’s patio from morning until night, or if you just need respite from the mean streets of Montrose." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
