Via Brasil Restaurant has been serving up the best in Brazilian cuisine in midtown Manhattan in New York since 1978. With that many years under the belt, you can count on well-prepared traditional dishes that your family is sure to love. Only the freshest ingredients and highest quality meats are used in the flavorful dishes. A popular meat choice at Via Brasil is the grilled filet mignon. It is made extra special with a bacon wrapping and hearts of palm sauce. The churassco is another favorite. For seafood lovers, the grilled salmon with pineapple sauce is satisfying and delicious. The Via Brasil moquecas stew is also a winner as is the national Brazilian dish of feijoada complete. The authenticity extends to the bar with wines from Brazil and drinks made with the Brazilian liquor cachaça.

    If you’re searching for an authentic Brazilian culinary experience, Via Brasil is a destination you cannot miss! The vibrant flavors and impeccable presentation transport you straight to the heart of Brazil. My son ordered Moqueca, a delightful Brazilian seafood stew. Its rich coconut milk base, infused with a perfect blend of spices, complements the tender, flavorful seafood. Every spoonful feels like a warm embrace of coastal Brazil. I ordered the Camaroes Paulista. The sautéed shrimp are cooked to perfection, offering a zesty and savory taste. We paired our meal with caipirinhas, the quintessential Brazilian cocktail. The balance of sweetness and tanginess made it the perfect accompaniment to our entrees. The warm hospitality and lively ambiance at Via Brasil make it more than just a meal—it’s a celebration. Highly recommended for food adventurers and anyone who appreciates the soul of Brazil on a plate! 🌟

    Very nice customer service!…I ordered a Caesar Salad and it was coated too much with the dressing. No way of decreasing the dressing!…the grilled chicken was perfect!

    This is a traditional Brazilian cuisine. Very different than your churrascaria type of restaurants. I think it is time for some remodeling of this restaurant.
