Best Brazilian Restaurants in Lincoln Square

I saw some mediocre and poor reviews recently -- not sure why, but don't believe them. We had an excellent experience last night. The staff was extremely attentive and the meat kept coming out faster than we could eat it! The food was very good with a variety of different cuts of meat, didn't even really need the salad bar (although it looked nice) because the meat was so plentiful. Drinks and dessert (especially the chocolate mousse balls) were very good too. Prices are fair, considering it's NYC you're gonna spend $100+ per person, but that's not unreasonable. Come hungry!!

I felt a bit rushed but later found out they were respecting a large party.

Very friendly and efficient wait staff. Enjoyed the staff’s attitude and conversation. Excellent food — smoky rice and great special sauce made just for the restaurant. Fun dining experience!

This is a very rare vegan recommendation for a Brazilian restaurant, but the Brazil-loving carnivorous friend I met for dinner at Rice x Beans was equally pleased. It was such a treat to enjoy a delicious, well balanced, and attractive meal without feeling like it was slapped together as a second tier consideration. The rice and beans are, in fact, delicious as were all the vegetables that came with them. Service was attentive and fast. A delightful evening altogether!
