All original taste of Brazilian cuisine. Feijoada, broiled churrasco, seafood, and caipirinha to accompany your meal.
Review
The traditional drink of Brazil is the capirinha, a sugar cane-based concoction packed with fresh limes There's no better way to start a meal at Via Brasil, than with a swig of this tangy drink as tradition is the name of the game here. The extensive menu offers fish Bahianstyle, hearty platters of paella, and rodizio—or skewered grilled meats. We recommend beginning with a shrimp-filled pastry or sliced spicy Brazilian sausages accompanied by chunks of banana-like fried yucca. As a main course, camarao paulista is a creamy dish of shrimp with garlic and cilantro, the coconut-laced sauce perfect for ladeling over rice. The chicken stew with okra, comes with a side of soft corn meal. And most everything comes with black beans, a side dish you won't want to pass up. The restaurant is located in the heart of what has long been known as "Little Brazil", on the edge of the Theater District, amid a collection of cousin and sibling restaurants (Though their numbers are dwindling, the remaining establishments cling fiercely to traditions with banners trumpeting the Brazilian theme, and summer festivals that send people out to dance in the streets.) But while there's no dance floor at Via Brasil, everything else is in place for a celebration, from the piano player to that first sip of capirinha.
