Oliveira’s Delivers Amazing Plates Of DeliciousTreats

Again and again I am knocked out by what a great treat eating at Oliveira’s can be.

Whether it is beef, chicken, sausage or lamb from the grille or simply a plate of vegetarian treats, Oliveira’s satisfies every time.

I don’t eat much beef anymore. That’s more than you all need to know. However, I stopped eating beef about four years ago. I am better for it – and you would be too.

But then comes those days when I am feeling that I need some beef and mashed potatoes, salad and Brazilian rolls and mashed potatoes.

That’s when I find myself in Everett Square at Oliveira’s.

If you haven’t tried it out, you should.

The place is immaculate. The help is attentive and polite, and obviously there is something completely Brazilian about the place – from flat screen TV’s broadcasting soccer to young Brazilian beauties rushing about waiting on tables or weighing up your plate.

Outdoor Dining

The outdoor dining venues that have popped up all over the city and especially in and around Everett Square give the city’s downtown environment a badly needed entertainment style boost.

The outdoor dining areas operated by Oliveiras, the 8/10 Restaurant on Norwood Street, and the Everett Square Deli, are exactly the type of new dining possibilities outside that give added life and a panache to a city now welcoming thousands of new residents in the many modern apartment houses that have been built and which are now going up.

We have noted some complaints by those who question the efficacy of the outside dining venues as though they are mismanaged efforts at clogging up the streets and sidewalks and ruining the bus lanes now stretching throughout the city’s main thorough-fares.

We urge those people offended or even disturbed by the presence of outdoor dining to embrace this as part of the new Everett going up all around us.

Eating outdoors during the late spring, summer and fall months gives the city an entirely different look and feel.

Oliveira’s Better Than Ever in the Square

By Josh Resnek

Before the snow began falling Friday night I stopped in to Oliveira’s in the Square for a late lunch with a friend.

What a lunch it turned out to be!

Most of you living in Everett who eat out every now and then know Oliveira’s.

It is Brazilian food and atmosphere and at its very best in Everett.

The Everett Square location is the restaurant’s reincarnation following the fire several months back at its well known location just beyond Glendale Square.

That location will be torn down and rebuilt into an extraordinary restaurant and living residences above with parking all around.

Better yet, the Everett Square restaurant will remain open for business.

Let’s get down to business.

About lunch.
