OI!
Sussa! was born from our tropical roots and the vibrant spirit of Brazilian food culture. In Brasil, food isn’t just about what’s on the plate — it’s about how we gather, connect and celebrate around the table.
Meals are a daily ritual, as colorful and diverse as life itself.
This magical time on the table with family & friends blends generations and starts from an early age, when we instinctively learn how to fix a balanced & nourishing plate.
By sharing Brazilian Cuisine with you and your family, we’re also sharing our food philosophy: ingredients are meant to be fresh, natural and wholesome. Combine everything with lots of fried garlic & onion, very loud music + deep passion, are that's how homemade meals are created.
We call It comida de verdade — real food.
Sussa! Menu is 100% plant-based, always free of dairy and animal products.
Our menu - nosso cardápio
We offer a weekly meal service that delivers high-quality, scratch-made dishes inspired by homemade cooking, highlighting local organic produce and local food makers, and most importantly: designed to make your life a whole lot easier — and SUSSA!

SOO-sah!
Sussa is a playful Brazilian Portuguese slang that comes from the word sossegado, meaning relaxed, easy-going, worry-free.
In everyday conversation, Brazilians use “tá sussa” the same way you’d say “it’s all good” or “no problem” in English.
Sussa! perfectly captures the spirit of mealtime — relaxed, joyful, and all about enjoying good food with good company, stress-free.
