About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    Via Brasil has been my go-to Brazilian place in NYC for decades. It has remained consistent and continues to offer warm service and great food in pleasant surroundings. It defines the meaning of a classic restaurant.

    Fantastic, authentic Brazilian food, outstanding, old-school wait staff (Ivan was great!) in tuxes — a real gem of international dining.

    This is a hidden gem. Highly recommend. The food was absolutely delicious and the service stellar. The wait staff is also really warm and helpful if you’re interested in trying dishes that may be new to you. Somehow it was bustling and lively without being at all noisy. Prices were good, too! Great place for before or after theater. Not overrun or touristy. We’ll def return!

    Muito bom! The staff were very friendly. The food was delicious. The picanha had some tough areas but was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Good value for NYC especially. My husband is Brazilian and he was equally satisfied with a little taste of “home.”
