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.

    It was nice, food was good. Servers were kind. Other customers were very loud but that’s not the restaurants fault

    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.

    As someone who works for a Brazilian company and personally loves Brazilian food, this is a wonderful place to enjoy and also learn about traditional Brazilian food. The service is welcoming and the ambience really soothing. Great for either lunch or dinner, and if you let them know you are in pre-theatre mode, you will get to your show with ample time to spare.
