Ipanema

This is another favorite Brazilian restaurant of mine. This is not like Churrascaria Plataforma (see my review for this restaurant); it is a small restaurant located on 'Little Brazil' 46th Street. It is quaint and very personable. The host (very good looking) makes sure he greets you and checks in with you a few times during your meal.

The restaurant itself is small, long and narrow. There are a few tables and a bar up front, it is never too crowded. (Except for when soccer is on!) I have been here for lunch many times and also frequented for dinner a few times. I even took some food home as take-out. All in all I must have been here like 15 times. I have never been disappointed!

The food is great, the presentation is okay- but once you taste it you will certainly enjoy!

Favorite Dish: My favorite dishes are the traditional rice and bean dish (Feijoada). Feijoada is made with black beans and pork meats. It also comes with collard greens as a side dish.

You should order a Caipirinha to go with your meal! This is a hot one! I mean, the amount of proof in this drink - whoooo! Light drinkers should only have one or half of one!

For dessert, pick off the dessert tray - you will not be disappointed; any of these will be awesome. Flan (Brazilian style), Brigadeiro (chocolate fudge candy) [My personal favorite], Beijinho de coco (coconut fudge candy), Cajuzinho (chocolate fudge candy with peanuts), or Quindim (coconut with eggs pie).

Then you can have a Brazilian coffee with an after-dinner drink if you please.
