Review 1 (2025-01-02 - Rating: 5)
I had an amazing experience at Via Brazil, and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered vatapá, which is a unique and exotic dish from the Amazon region of Brazil. It’s a rarity to find it outside of the north or northwest of Brazil, and even in São Paulo, it’s only available in a few upscale restaurants. It was a real treat!We also tried the salmão tropical, a classic dish with a very refreshing flavor that paired perfectly with the meal. For drinks, I had a passion fruit mojito and a caipirinha de caju. If you’re not a fan of the strong taste of cachaça (similar to tequila), I highly recommend asking them to swap it for vodka instead.To finish the experience, I tried their authentic Brazilian coffee, which was the perfect end to the meal. They even served it with two complimentary brigadeiros, a delightful and authentic Brazilian treat that added a sweet touch to the experience.Overall, the food, drinks, and atmosphere made for a fantastic experience. I highly recommend Via Brazil for anyone looking for an authentic taste of Brazilian cuisine. -

The service was fast and friendly, the ambient was clean and very nice, and the food was traditional and tasted amazing. I was visiting NYC and decided to try this place since I was missing some food from back home, and it was just what I needed to kill my cravings. I tried their pao de queijo, pastel, coxinha, brigadeiro, and caipirinha. I look forward to my next visit! -

Had lunch at Via Brasil in Manhattan today after a wonderful workshop Star Mothers & Earth Ancestors: A Channeling Event for Starseeds with Marissa & JJ Brighton. The restaurant was beautifully rustic inside with a piano for live music & tasteful pictures throughout. We had the special which was oxtails & polenta & the rio grande churrascos mixed meat grill. The Pao de Queijo A Brazilian delight cheese bread was delicious & the Mariscos Ao Molho de Vinho which is Sauteed mussels w/ garlic, white wine and tomato sauce. The waiters were all great & very attentive. Love this little piece of Brazil on west 46th street. -

Highly recommended for good food with a good value . Offers the Brazilian cuisine with genuine touch. Very friendly service. Congratulations for neat and clean table cloths. A virtue long lost in big apple restaurants. Hard to understand how the official bodies overseeing hygiene allow such mess in NY restaurants where food is served on dirty tables. -

DELICIOUS! This restaurant was conveniently located next to the hotel where we were staying at. The food exceeded expectations! I ordered the Bife a Baiana and it was beyond flavorful and delicious! My husband ordered the bife a porguesa and it was also a hit. I highly recommend this place. The food is amazing, the restaurant itself is beautiful & the service was great. I will be coming back during my stay in NYC. Highly, HIGHLY recommend! -

Great experience all around. It’s rare to find a restaurant that remains consistent in every way for 30 years. Dining there tonight I was amazed to find it still so good. My favorite dish of chicken (on the bone) with okra and polenta was just as I remembered. My capoerina still perfect. I didn’t see my favorite appetizer of cod fish croquettes on the menu but on inquiring with my waiter he said “we’ll make it for you”. As it was wonderful. I finished off a fantastic meal with a delicious passion fruit mousse with the perfect balance of fruit flavor. I often frequented this restaurant in the 90’s as I worked a block away. It was a favorite for lunch, after work and even occasional visits on the weekend as they had live Brazilian music. The food was always very good and so was the service. The manager during that time, Carlos made you feel welcome and like you were family. Though Carlos is no longer there, one of the waiters from years ago was still there. I said hello and I asked if he remembered me and he said yes, but you used to sit on the other side of the dining room. -

I stopped counting how many times we came over. Food is always delicious. The best chicken stroganoff I have ever tried. Fish dishes are amazing to our taste. Crab cake was really good.Mussels were good , no bread was given for their very good sauce. We had to ask.Service is very friendly.Two notes, fyi : small bathroom and not accessible by people with disabilities. -

Needed a quick, nice dinner before theater, and Via Brasil excelled. All of our food was tasty, well-prepared, with a lot of authentic Brazilian touches, spices, combinations. There are several caipirinhas on the drink menu, but the baseline one was excellent. Service was attentive and professional, and they definitely worked to get us out in time to get to our show.Would not only go back, would make an effort to visit any time we are town. -

I love Brazilian food so was excited to try via BRASIL which is located in little brazil in nyc next to Times Square . We got the pao do queijo (cheese buns) which were not the best (they didn’t have enough cheese in them + they didn’t have white / green sauce to accompanied it).For main I got the picanha (Brazilian sirloin) which was good. I do want to go back for the moqueca.Service was little bit weird. Not sure if they fully understood us / when we requested things. -

We called in last night and had a really good dining experience.Warm welcome on arrival , drinks ordered and now down to the serious work of choosing our dinner.So for our starters it was the sausage and potatoes and my wife had the fish cake, both delicious.For our mains I had the house special ( the name escapes me ) which was a very deep cast iron pot of goodness full of different meats, black beans and in a intense sauce accompanied with rice and veg , my wife had braised Brazilian beef in a red wine sauce. Both dishes cooked the perfection and packed with flavour. For desert we shared a coconut flan with prune sauce again very nice.The portions are very generous trust me on that.Our waiter ( tall chap with grey hair ) was attentive and engaging so thank you sir.We really enjoyed our meal so no hesitation in recommending Via Brasil 10/10 -

They have excellent, authentic Brazilian food, served by an attentive staff. The bar makes delicious caipirinhas and the restroom is clean. Friday and Saturday evenings, there is live music, a trio playing Samba, Bossa Nova and Brazilian jazz. Of the three remaining Brazilian restaurants, on Little Brazil Street, this is my favorite! -

I just went to celebrate with my family and kids the Three Wise Men Day dinner 2017 and its a Great place, great food and very nice service, specially you enjoy the environment with awesome Brazilian jazz, but a big Red Flag🚩... I used one of my credit cards to pay which I usually never use and boom!!! big mistake I got a call in the middle of the night from my credit card company stating a $500.00 dollar purchase was recently made but needed my confirmation for approval. The credit card company asked when was the last time my card was out of sight when payments and I told them I had previously visited and paid my dinner at Via Brasil and its a card a rarely use. Credit Card company suggested some restaurant staff member couldve taken a photocopy or took down information to later try to purchase online. Next step, I called the manager and the lady who answered my call had an attitude once a asked for him and refuse to give me his name and told me to try another time. I hate writing down reviews like this... but after being so disappointed I had no other choice. Hopefully this restaurant manager could put his hand down and fixes the problem, otherwise its a shame to see a great restaurant in NYC with this kind of issues. I suggest customers to pay cash if possible at this location. If it wasnt for this, I should have given 5 Stars. -

My family and I were there just before the pandemic. Great place to get in touch with Brazil away from Brazil.The staff is polite, quick and not annoying. The meals got us in touch with our Latino roots (both my wife and I are from Paraguayan descent, but we’ve never been to South America).The food was amazing. She got a Frango Bossa Nova (because of the name, she loves the music genre, haha) and loved it. The meat was lean and fine and the beans were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I had a restaurant special – churrascos. Again, the roasted meat was lean and juicy and I loved the farofa.The atmosphere was very interesting. There was a live band playing and that gave the whole evening an even more traditional notion. My wife even danced at her chair after having a caipirinha. Which reminds me that they also have a rich menu in cocktails that are very rich in flavor and very strong, so don’t drink too much of them, hahaha.We had a great time and we plan to make a reservation for somewhere in mid August to take some friends for some caipirinhas and bite.Cheers! -

We tried this place for the first time for lunch with some friends visiting from Miami (and one of them was from Brazil!). Reasonable lunch prices and portions for NYC. All the meat we ordered was cooked perfectly. Spaghetti with meat was delicious. We also tried the Brazilian cheese bread appetizer which was excellent. You can also order off the full menu, but they do have a lunch menu. The service was good and waiter was very friendly, explaining anything that needed explaining. Our friend from Brazil said he would rate the food a 7 out of 10. -

We are greeted at the door w a smile, the sangria is some of the best I have ever had, and they are friendly to my 2 kids who are now 9 and 6 but they have been coming here since they were babies. I love the live music on weekends, the atmosphere is always lively, and I know I said this before but the food is delicious. I highly recommend Via Brazil. -

Via Brasil is a very charming restaurant. The inside is nice and elegant. We sat outside while it rained and the atmosphere was magical. The green space enclosure was a welcoming site in contrast to the gray hustle and bustle of the roaring city. The food was perfect.

If the tables in Via Brasil could talk (well, a few of them can) they’d tell stories about long and memorable Cariocan meals that were so much fun, with such flavorful food, and the coolest live music, all based upon the most perfect and poignant caipirinhas anywhere north of Copacabana.Don’t waste time with too much reading, just go to the heart of Manhattan’s Brazilian street at 34 West 46th and ask for Dante, the managing producer/director of the very intimate scene, to help you plan your repast.The entire staff at Via Brazil is fearlessly alert, smart, well trained, intelligent, lucky, and helpful. They will be your most respectful friends.Strongly suggest you order caipirinhas and a selection of traditional appetizers for all who can enjoy them. After the fourth caipirinha , ask them to leave out the sugar.The fabled feijoada is celebrative with black beans for the Moors, white rice for the Christians, smoked and jerked pork for the unwanted cuts that only slaves ate, green collards for the jungle, orange oranges for the sun, red fermented beans for desire, yellow yucca flour as the most common food, and luscious red and yellow peppers for sex.Feijoada is the national dish of Brazil, an Via Brazil serves the best Brazilian pepper sauce available within 4,818 miles or 46th Street.There are also outstanding seafood selections, salads, breads, and deserts to “die for,” plus top-notch Brazilian coffee.Enough. Go. Say hello. Have fun. -

Loved this place. Food so, so good. Got the feijolada and picanha. Customer service was just outstanding. Via Brazil is definitely the place to go to for capirinhas -

My recent dining experience at Via Brazil in NYC was nothing short of spectacular. The authenticity of the Brazilian dishes served was truly remarkable; each bite felt like a journey to Brazil itself. The menu boasts a delightful array of flavors that capture the essence of Brazilian cuisine.What truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. The staff at Via Brazil exhibited a level of attentiveness and professionalism that added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. From recommendations to prompt service, they truly went above and beyond.To complement the fantastic dining experience, the full bar offered an impressive selection of beverages. Whether it was a traditional caipirinha or a unique Brazilian-inspired cocktail, the drink options perfectly complemented the delicious cuisine.In summary, Via Brazil is a gem in the heart of NYC for those seeking an authentic Brazilian culinary adventure, coupled with exceptional service and a well-stocked bar. A definite must-visit, and I look forward to returning soon. -

Absolutely amazing food and service! We wanted to eat dinner before catching a concert at a nearby venue. Selecting this restaurant was the best decision. The caipirinha was amazing. The shrimp stuffed baked acorn squash dish was absolutely to die for. All the side dishes were superb. The service was amazing - attentive and friendly. We will be back. I highly recommend! -
