About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Romantic
  • Innovative
It's true that rice-and-beans are the staple at this Brazilian hole-in-the-wall, but to say they're the chef's specialty would be an understatement.
Our restaurant is the only place that you can find all flavors from every state of Brazil. From the North we have a special Fish Stew known as "Moqueca de Peixe" to the South a special Grilled Steak, and much much more.
Don't skip the Feijoada, Brazil's national dish. It's a casserole of black beans with pork loin, sausage, bacon, spare ribs, and beef.
The place itself is cozy.

    Superb pork dish (chef’s special) The only reason I went. Lives up to the rep. Lots of pork, sausage and beans. Very good service. Very small place. Allowed me to get to know my neighboring diners well👍🏼

    Food was okay, they burned our Pao de Queso’s. They were a little too toasty if you know what I mean. My daughter loved her dish, but overall it was just okay. I prob won’t return... the servers were very nice and that was great! Yucca fries were delish , but my shrimp stroganoff and my husbands Picanha steak were “just okay.”

    Rice and Beans is what Hell's Kitchen used to be--a simple, tiny, local place for a cuisine you don't get to have that often with wonderful service and very good food.

    Sadly our visit was most disappointing. The wild shrimp risotto was awful- frozen veges-fishy strong smelling ? frozen shrimp and cold rice??? The soups were good though a bit salty. Quite the opposite from our prior visits.

    This is my absolute favorite Brazilian restaurant in NYC. This small establishment has been my go to for decades. I lived in Brazil for a time and this is the closest to an authentic “home cooked” feeling. Whenever I eat here I am transported right back to my temporary home! The pão de queijo and coxinha are my favorite small bites. The Stroganoff (Chicken, Beef, Vegetarian, Shrimp) is divine. Like Feijoada? Theirs is spectacular. The brigadeiros are the best! The staff is always helpful and friendly. I absolutely love this place!

    We and my friends went there at 7pm yesterday, Dec/15 and was closed by commissioner and NOBODY sent me any msg to notice me about it. Never more in my life I’ll be there in this restaurant again. After that restaurant change the owner, became a totally nightmare. I definitely DON’T RECOMMEND this restaurant.

    Hello Monica, Monica, We called OpenTable and advised them that we have a major plumbing issue and therefore cannot serve our patrons. We thought OT will cancel all book reservations and for that we sincerely apologize. It is of utmost chaos to close at the busiest time of the year and if we neglected to inform you please let us be given a chance to show you that this is an isolated incident and therefore does not warrant a one star review. Have a wonderful holiday and a healthy New Year!

    Generous portions; we made dinner from one soup and one main course (plus a couple of caipirinhas).
