Tilman Benecke

Cash only . Only parts of the menu were available, Music too loud . Waiter rewarded himself with 20% gratuity and included it on our bill as if we were not able to decide by ourself. Food was boring...

Brasil Live

Samba and Bahia night every Friday at Miss Favela. Really great brazilian band starts playing at 10pm. The place gets really busy so get there early if you want a seat for dinner .

Ibrahim Zeghzeghi

Mmmmm... Kinda overpriced but cool location. Now if you want a really good Brazilian restaurant you should try Favela Grill in Astoria!

Emilia Allonso

From a Brazilian born and raised: the food is meh except for the bolinhos de bacalhau; go for the caipirinha de limao, others are just mixed drinks , not real caipis; the atmosphere is nice though

Chris Gelles

One of the most obnoxious sidewalk crowds I've encountered in my decade of Williamsburg-livin'. Please don't be those people.

Ali Briggs

This is definitely an afternoon drinking spot , dead on weekend evenings. Might have something to do with the feeling of being in a mafia movie under the Williamsburg bridge ...

Lindi Santana

Food it’s ok ,but service it’s really bad We waited for almost an hour to have our order.A $30 fee was charged because we brought a cake and had they cut it , they don’t split the bill if you ask it .

Alcione

Saturday lunch is great. Live samba music , savory steak and beautiful people. Have a caipirinha on the terrace . #perfectsaturday

Natalie V

The music was really fun but it was so crowded . Of course, it was a Saturday night so that was expected, but felt like they should have capped the number of people inside at some point.

En Foco Inc

The most watered down caipirinhas I've had; não valeu a pena. The music & dancing however was fantastic!

Kimmie Ohh

Get the bife a cavalo - steak , 2 eggs , rice , beans & farofa.

Mireya

Picadinho carioca was very good for brunch !! ????

Pratheeksha KS

On Saturdays you gotta eat up to $20 pp. Doesn't include drinks. Strange rule. But good service and yucca fries

Clarice F

20 dollar cover, loud and super packed. If you're looking for a Brazilian restaurant in Williamsburg I say go to Beco.

Jastine Kho

The service here is terrible and nothing special to note about the food. However, the upside is that the cocktails are strong and delicious.

Bervely Victorin

Amazing authentic everything i.e. drinks, food, experience. Top ten for sure

Mireya

Amazing caipiroskas! The pitcher is worth it!! ????

Jarryd-Lee Mandy

The little waiter had the worst attitude and service ever. Good food but cash only , no specials unless at the bar . Would never go again or recommend .

Jeanette Gonzalez

Delicious! The calamari was cooked perfectly. Be patient with the service :)

Saif Dia

Cash only . You'll need a good amount of it if you're drinking pitchers

gigi g.

Meh. I'm Brazilian and wasn't impressed. To start with, the food is not authentic . Waiters only care about money. If you don't want to order more food, they'll kick you out. NOT the Brazilian way.

Nicole Schmidt

The manager/staff were so rude. My two friends and I were told that we weren't "spending enough money to sit down and eat." We were going to spend over $150 and it's CASH ONY.

Harsh Mall

Cash only , but there's an ATM in the last restroom .

Alex Cancel

The live music here is amazing! This is definitely a staple!

Paola Guerrero

The best hot sauce in town .

Vitor Andrade

Food is okay but service is the worst. They kick you out to quickly get other costumers even if you're still eating and consuming beverages. No respect.

Infrathin Ohm

Having a drink of chacaca here is like getting a smoothie and a shot of liquor all at once. Bartenders are very nice. It's relaxed and festive . A joy of a place.

Escape Cardona

The food is great. The pitchers of caipirinha are strong but you'll forget and order more once the live samba band starts playing. Don't be shy. Make sure to dance .

Rosa Munoz Xicola

Their host does not know shit about doing a good job. Clueless

Baxters Brain Baxtersbrain

Make sure to crab yourself a Corona Familiar!

Kimmie Ohh

They are a cash only restaurant !

amNewYork

Samba music lives under the Williamsburg Bridge thanks to this roomy Brazilian restaurant/bar.

Isabel Katz

Ambience and open air seating

Camilo Gallardo

$8 lunch special is great! Got the meat with rice and beans. fun brazilian vibes.

Matthew Croswell

Get the charissco (meat platter) for 2. Feeds 3-4

Tim de Gier

Go here for dinner and live music on sunday afternoon.

Fanny G

Had the best time here! Danced my butt off! Live band sat 3-6pm

Shiseido Ruiz

Carnival festive is in effect. Packed so if you planning to eat. Make reservation and plan to wait a bit. Good looking fun crowd.

Seb

The owner Angela is just a downer. She assaulted me when I gave her feedback about my bad experience at her bar and one of the owners tried to hit me saying that I "should get a wife" # homophobic

Diffuse Brooklyn

Best Appetizer - Fried Calamari

Nicole

Small, lively place with friendly staff . Make a reservation for weekend brunch or be prepared to wait at least an hour. Once the live music starts it gets too loud to talk/hear. Great drinks & food.

Gustavo Dorietto

This place is a theme park . It’s not Brazilian at all. (I’m Brazilian, btw) They will put all their friends ahead of you if there’s a wait. I guess it is Brazilian, after all! Go to Berimbau instead.

Michelle Poler

I used to love this place, sad to see how they reduced the portions and increased the prices. On top of that: slow service and bad quality overall ????

Cynthia Fety

$20 min per person for food on saturdays per table. The food has improved but if I go back I'd get there early & hang at the bar .

Olivier Vijverman

Good food, good atmosphere and lethal caipiriñhas ..

Claudia Filth

Worst service and when our waitress asked if we needed change, had the audacity of taking her tip out before returning the difference.

Adrienne Hudspeth

Go on saturday afternoons for a wild, sweaty dance party . Beware the pitchers , one will knock you on your ass.

Borja Burgos

Overpriced. Uncomfortable seating. Good food. Can be unpleasant when crowded .

Andrea

Eat outside and you can watch your bike . Hearty brunch ..fried beef empanadas . Nommmmnomm

Shauna Bellow

Get the Acai Granola !
