As a person who works downtown, I am always looking for quick places to get a good lunch. Brazilia has consistently provided me with that.
Located on Dresden row across from Pete's, it is in a prime location to capture the downtown workforce for lunch. This family run place serves everything from Lebanese classics (falafel, shwarma etc) to club sandwiches, salads and soups. They always have a special which is more of a main meal. These include things like cabbage rolls and meat balls with rice. All the food is fresh and made from scratch.
I went twice recently and decided to write about my experiences there.

The chicken was delicious. They used chicken breasts which can sometimes be dry. These were cooked perfectly and retained their moisture. The potatoes were cooked with the chicken and were out of this world. Whenever I've had a dish like this, the potatoes are usually cut into large wedges. These, however, were round slices. That allows for more flavour because they absorb more of the cooking liquid. I don't know what they put in their Greek salad dressing but I love it. It is tangy and spicy. Great with the lemon chicken.

On other occasions, I have had their club sandwich. The girls at work often order this too and we all love it. I also had their cabbage rolls recently and they were awesome. The sauce was sweet and smooth and they had rice and meat inside, which made them lighter than their all-meat counter parts.
This is a great place to grab a quick, healthy, homemade lunch. The family who runs it are all very friendly and will take the time to walk you through the menu and specials if you don't know what you want. The only thing missing is dessert. They often have cookies and sometimes banana bread. However, I think some more homemade desserts would be a welcome finish to a great lunch.
