Description

Of the three Brazilian restaurants in town, this cozy neighborhood spot has the warmest, truest atmosphere, and generally the most authentic kitchen. The video screens show G-rated Carnaval scenes, the sound system plays Brazilian pop, the service is caring. The feijoada completa (Saturdays and Sundays only), Brazil's answer to cassoulet, is authentic, generous, and complex, flavored with a bright hit of cilantro. And if the hot pepper quotient is overly considerate of yanqui palates, the hot table sauce is anything but. The seafood and chicken dishes are badly overcooked, though, and the sides unspecial. For dessert, the exquisite coconut flan is tender as a virgin's breast.

The welcome is as warm as an evening in Rio: Bossa nova shimmers from the stereo like waves lapping Ipanema; the house caipirinha is as sweet and potent as a midnight samba; and the bright, lusty aromas of Brazilian cuisine mingle in the air. The country's best food is from the African-influenced region of Bahia, and Canto's bobé de camarão -- prawns with coconut milk, peppers, and yucca -- i... More »
