What if Portsmouth had a fling with a Latin Lover? What if mojo filled the streets, steaming with the heat of Cuban, Spanish and Latin music? What if you could drink a caipirinha on a Tuesday night? Or Salsa with someone you’d never met?

Welcome to Brazo. Where the flavors of Latin and South American cuisine are completely at home in northern reaches. It’s everything an exotic journey should be, while only an arm’s length from downtown Portsmouth.

We are located in the heart of historic downtown Portsmouth.   We’re located at 75 Pleasant Street, in between State and Court Street.

From Route 95.

Depart the hustle and bustle of life via Exit 7 and head east on Market Street for .7 mile into downtown Portsmouth.   At the end of Market Street that big church is a nice landmark you must turn right.  Take the right traveling in front of North Church,
scoot over to the left lane and take a left shortly thereafter onto Fleet Street.  Once on Fleet, turn left at your first light onto State Street.  The first light on State Street is the intersection of Pleasant Street.  Take a right onto Pleasant and our door is right there for your Latin America getaway.

Although fine casual dining is our first passion, don’t be surprised if a few tables are moved to the side on select evenings to accommodate live Cuban, Spanish or Latin music. 

Join us for Latin Night and dancing:

Come in and check out our Happy Hour Specials every night at the bar from 5 to 7.

MONDAY Mojito Mondays $5 mojitos and 1/2 off apps

TV Diner Review

Restaurant of the Month, Taste Magazine

Hip Brazo Delivers, Boston Globe

Brazo: It’s Electric, Portsmouth Herald

Festive. Welcoming. Vibrant. Robust.

This is Brazo, a casually elegant Latin American restaurant featuring the cuisine of acclaimed chef, Phelps Dieck. Located in the heart of the eclectically stylish Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Brazo showcases exciting Latin and South American cuisine finely prepared—but never overly so—highlighted by locally grown produce, fresh fish and the finest meats.

Brazo is a vacation for the senses. Cuban, Latin and Spanish music fill the air. Exotic rums, tequilas and pisco tempt from behind the bar. While warmth, hospitality and lively fun flows as if carried by the Gulf Stream from southern latitudes.
