I asked the manager a few questions regarding the recent opening of Viva Brazil, here are the highlights:
Does this create jobs for the local community in Cardiff?
We have a staff of about thirty-eight employees, including both part-time and full-time. There are twenty-four full-time employees and the rest are made up of casual workers which include mostly students from the local universities.
Why was the decision made to open Viva Brazil at this moment in time?
There has been a gradual expansion of Brazilian cuisine throughout the United Kingdom. London was the first city to catch on about five years ago and it has been expanding ever since. There are restaurants in Glasgow and Liverpool as well, and we thought it was a great time to move one to Cardiff.
What are the more unique aspects of Brazilian cuisine?
Well we think people enjoy the atmosphere, it’s a lot more personal. The chefs bring the meat to your table and slice it up for you and customers seem to enjoy that. There is also a chance to try the food beforehand which most restaurants don’t offer. We also have over forty different types of meat so there is always something new to try.

As the sporting world prepares to embrace the samba culture, Cardiff gets to experience the taste of Brazil for the first time.
‘Viva Brazil’ has opened in the city center and is the first restaurant of its kind in Wales.
It brings with it employment opportunities for the locals as well as a fitting trend in terms of the expansion of Brazilian culture in the UK. On that issue, Manager Rui Rodriguez said ‘There has been a movement in the last couple of years for Brazilian cuisine, and Cardiff has a larger Brazilian and Portuguese contingent than we thought, so it is a good time for business’.
Cardiff now adds to its already diverse culture, incorporating a contingent that they perhaps hadn’t accounted for in the past.
