This place has such a great vibe. I've been several times, and it's always a great experience. The staff is super friendly and the food is goooood. Don't sleep on the fish tacos and Chicken Milanese. Sooo delicious. And they often have live music, and karaoke on Fridays. read more

I feel the need to update my review of Belo after the past year, because it has truly become my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. It just gets better and better and I have yet to have anything short of a fantastic meal and a fun time with every visit. The food is just so delicious and so well executed. It blows me away. I tell everyone about their fish tacos, because they're the best I've ever had. I was there for Easter brunch today with my husband and brother, and it was my brother's first time there. He loved it. The food, the incredible service, the vibe. It feels like you're visiting friends or family as soon as you enter the place, and you don't want to leave. Can't wait to return soon! read more

This neighborhood gem goes above and beyond. Had a little problem with a seamless order, and they went overboard to make it right! Not only is the food always amazing but the owners and entire staff are to be commended. So lucky that they are part of our neighborhood. read more

My wife and I were in the area and wanted to grab some Brazilian food, so decided to give Belo a try - tldr not disappointed and would absolutely go back again. Their menu is extensive and every dish we tried was delicious - with our favorite bites being the chicharon and fried cheese. All of the portions were generous - and we would definitely try new items next time to better understand the range of dishes. Drink-wise - full bar menu with very generous pours and great beer selection. The vibe inside was also a pleasant surprise - especially how vibrant and alive the place felt. Service was top notch too. read more

The atmosphere matches the food, which is vibrant and colorful. The customer service is very friendly, and bonus points go to you if you know Portuguese or are South American since this spot caters well to that crowd. Personally, I think it is great for a party of two or three. They offer a wide selection of buffet-style and three-course meal options worth exploring. They also feature live music on certain days, although I did not come on one of those nights. On a quiet Sunday with a low-key vibe, it turned out to be a pretty good option. read more

LOVELY people here. It's a cute place with great vibes. I've come a few times now, most recently on Taco Tuesday. The Belojitos were eh/ so so. All the tacos, though, were amazing. The steak tacos were our favorite. In general, great food, especially if you're a meat lover. read more

Now open for lunch! Belo is a Brazilian spot with a funky feel. Its decor is downright fun. My server was one of the nicest I've had in a while. He let me take a call while at the restaurant. What I noticed while there was how appreciative of every person that walked in. He was the kindest. As per his recommendation, I got the breaded chicken cutlet sandwich off the new lunch menu, which is only about 3 weeks old now. I asked for it with their chipotle mayo, and it was soooooo good. I waited a bit to bite into it because I waited for my call to be over, but once I tried it, I was hooked. And the sandwich was HUGE. The other half was my dinner. Not to be forgotten were the fries. Not usually a fry girl, but these are my fav kind. Crunchy but soft on the inside. I wish I asked for extra chipotle mayo for dipping. The passion fruit juice was on point as well. With my check I was given a bite sized pastry with dulce de leche inside and it was heaven!! Excited to try them for dinner now. read more

Had wonderful service and excellent food at this cute Brazilian restaurant. The owner Jonathan is a delight and he and our server George went out of their way to help us feel welcome and make sure we had everything to enjoy our meal there. They have good cocktails too! We enjoyed the picanha, linguica skewer, FISH TACOS (which aren't Brazilian but were a repeater) and brigadeiro and creme brûlée with toasted coconut. Will definitely be back! Can't wait. read more

So, I will begin by saying that I have not had the pleasure of dining at Belo's in person and have done a few delivery orders as a case study before writing this review. TLDR: Really nice staff, items are pricey and some of them are less memorable and may have you rethink the price point a bit more closely. In addition the sodium usage needs be watched. You can always add salt to something, but you cannot remove it once it's cooked into the dish. I will begin by saying that the team is super kind. I called to ask questions about the menu and was met with kind voices and friendly dispositions. I believe Jonathan and Christina assisted me with inquiries that I had regarding the menu? So far, I have only tried a handful of dishes: -Pao de Quiejo Sliders with chicken - $17 (Between the cheese bread and the chicken, the sliders were so salty, we did not consume them after a bite or two) -Moqueca - $24 (I love anything coconut based, but this dish had quite a bit of oil floating around in it. I know it can be challenging with curries, but the coconut did not shine thru and this dish left me a bit disappointed as I love cod and the idea of it in a coconut curry intrigued me.) -10 oz Ribeye Steak with Peppercorn Sauce - $31 (I felt like this dish was priced appropriately. Came with mushrooms, sauteed kale, mashed potatoes and supposedly with sundried tomatoes, but I think they may have forgotten to include or ran out because it was not included in my entree. I am glad that the peppercorn sauce was served on the side because it was incredibly salty and would have ruined the entree if they had drizzled it over the steak and mash) Total: $72.00 and $93.39 after taxes and fees 2nd order: -Pao de Quiejo -$8 (Good, but must be eaten fresh. Pao does not reheat all that well given the tapioca flour, but I love them and they are a guilty pleasure) -Crispy Fried Cod Sandwich Bites -$15 ( I actually thought that this was going to be similar to the pao sliders since it was also listed under apps and is labeled 'bites', but it was actually a whole sandwich that came with fries which is unclear from the menu, so the restaurant needs to amend that to avoid confusion. Sandwich was pretty tasty and I think priced fairly) -Mini Brazilian Croquettes - $11 (An assortment of cheese, beef and chicken bites. We didn't care much for those and it was hard to distinguish which was what without biting into them) -Roasted Pernil Steak - $26 - (Didn't really care for this and it reaffirmed my dislike for black beans. We didn't bother to really eat this. Also pricey for a pork entree, but I know that pernil has a pretty intense roasting process so I am sure that adds to the entree upcharge.) -Ginger Ale - $3 -Chicken Milanese - $25 (A nice comforting meal served alongside broccoli, mashed potatoes and a breaded chicken cutlet that is drizzled with a pancetta chipotle sauce.) Total: $88 but $111.29 after taxes 3rd order: -Sunnyside Salad - $15 (This was fine, but to be honest, it feels like a bunch of random ingredients that were thrown together... that I am not really sure work well together, but hey to each their own. Mesculin is the green base and it's not known to be the most cruciferous of the salad greens, so nothing in the salad had any bite. Everything was just...soft and luke warm. This could stand to be reworked.) -Nachoa de Mandioca (opted to add ground beef) -$21 (I liked this, but this would be best to have this while dining in) -Seared Salmon - $26 (This sounded good so we got it, but I most likely won't get that again.) -Voulevant - $3 (I like these, but only caramel ones. I think we only got 2, so you can decide whether they are worth it for you as a sweet treat as they are very small.) Total: $65 but $82.51 after taxes and fees read more

This place is such a gem, glad my wife found it! Everything we shared was absolutely delicious! We shared the chicken bites with picante Gorgonzola sauce (it was addicting like crack, you have to get it), chimichurri fries (delicious and crispy), sliders with Brazilian cheese bread (yummy), chicken sandwich (huge and awesome) and bacon cheese stuffed burger. The owner Jonathan, his dad and his staff a wonderful and attentive! The place also has cool Graffiti at the walls. You feel right at home here. Go check it out! read more

My friend and I landed here for brunch. It was a nice day, but we preferred inside seating. The place is spacious, with many tables inside and outside. We were served by Alejandra, a very sweet and friendly waitress. I ordered smashed Avocado Benedict, and my friend had Steak and Eggs. My dish was pretty good. I was not fond of the bread much, but I never liked bread other than multigrain anyway, so that's ok. The potato was quite good, though. My friend said her steak and eggs were awesome. Next time I'll try that. Great coffee! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the establishment, Jonathan. I think his father was there, too. Their dinner menu looks great. Maybe Hubby and I will try dinner here one day. We also saw another waiter named Arturo. He also served our table. Nice pretty place with superb service. Thanks! read more

I'd been meaning to try this place out for a couple of years after seeing the raving reviews - and I was in the area so I stopped by on a whim. Glad I did, this place is really awesome. The biggest reason I'll be coming back is the friendly service and overall good vibes. The guy behind the bar and the staff are really engaging - they warmly greet every person who steps through the door and make you feel at ease. The place itself has fun decor and colors throughout - and the establishment is a bit on the smaller side but definitely not cramped. I actually prefer this to a huge restaurant that can be either super-loud when full, or alienating when there's fewer patrons. They have a TON of excellent food options for brunch, lunch and dinner - and a lot of good beer, cocktail and juice to choose from as well, which is half the reason I'll be coming back. We ordered some of the Pao de Queijo (cheese bread) and their Mini Salgados (assorted Brazilian bites - chicken, cheese and corn, beef etc.) with their Verde sauce for our appetizer - the bread was good but I'd order a truckload of those Salgados. I got myself the Drunken Mineiro as my main dish and my partner got their Stuffed Burger (the patty is stuffed with bacon, and it comes with melted cheese + fried egg and avocado) - and neither of us could finish our food. Portions are generous and filling, AND the quality is excellent. On top of all of that, the prices were quite reasonable. I got myself a huge tasty meal (basically 2 smaller ones, since I ate my leftovers at home for dinner) plus an iced coffee for about $45, tip included - that's a solid deal for NYC, no matter what neighborhood. I'm already planning my next two trips back here at least - one to try their brunch options, and another to have their steak / barbecue. Can't wait. read more

We came across Belo after our initial plans fell through. They welcomed us in during a thunderstorm and seated us immediately. Full bar with about eight beers on draft. Certainly a focus on craft beer with some local options amongst them. We started the avocado and mango salsa which came with yuca chips. Chips are crunchy and generously seasoned making them rather addictive. I liked the bright flavors in the salsa. For the main course, we shared the picanha. It's a giant portion that's best shared. I was absolutely stuffed after it. The platter included three pieces of picanha which I'd estimate were likely around a pound of meat, a bowl of black beans, a heaping of white rice, extra crispy fries, pico, and collard greens. Service was attentive. Pacing of the food was on point. There were two single occupancy restrooms with one being handicap accessible. read more

Love Belo! The service, ambiance and the food was amazing. We ordered the fish, steak and pork tacos, the mango avocado salsa, drinks, and dessert. Everything about this dinner was incredible. This is the owners' second restaurant; they also run The Alcove around the corner, which is delicious too! I'm so glad I was able to finally come to Belo! The food was great! I can't wait to come back and try more of their food options. I highly recommend Belo! read more

Now that Belo is open for lunch, I had to make an effort to try it! I ordered the Breaded Chicken Cutlet on a roll with chipotle mayo and a side of their kale with roasted garlic. Usually I'm ordering chicken cutlet sandwiches from the deli but today, was so happy to get something fresh! The cutlet was breaded and fried perfectly, it was evenly dressed with just the right amount of mayo and toppings. The side of kale, though not on the menu, is something you can order separately. I don't like kale, but I was dreaming of Belo's kale the last few weeks and I couldn't leave without having it. What a perfect duo for lunch! Thank you for opening for lunch! read more

Belo is a must visit. From the staff, to the food, to the amount of options, there is something for everyone to enjoy. My family and I have been coming to Belo since opening and find something new each time that we love even more than the thing before. I clean my plate here every time. Do not sleep on the Chicken Milanese!!! It is a version of a classic you have never had before and it does not disappoint. The portions are large, the people are beyond kind, and if you aren't familiar with the cuisine, just ask. They would love nothing more than to walk you through some options that could be a good fit. Belo is the type of restaurant that makes Sunnyside special and we are lucky to have them in the neighborhood. read more

Amazing happenstance and surprise. I came to Long Island City to meet up with a dear friend and we were famished. We were looking for a different restaurant that my friend recommended but I pulled out my phone and checked YELP anyway. Belo came up more than once as we walked. When we walked by Belo I had to stop and look at the menu and convince them to go in. it was the absolute best move of the weekend. We ordered the flight of flavored Mojitos, fish tacos and the Belo burger ( and I am not a burger guy). Everything was fabulous. I mean not your normal fab but the full word. On top of this, the service was no less than extraordinary - personable, friendly, helpful, and down to earth. Go! You won't regret it! read more

A unique local spot with amazing food and very personable service! Belo offers an array of interesting cocktails, many of which are sake based. Their menu is focused on Brazilian and Latin American food with many unique items. Buraco Quente is exceptional--perfectly crispy baguette-like bread hollowed out then filled with delicious meat filling. Pernil here is more of a juicy pork steak than pulled pork. And of course Pan de Qeijo is a must, paired nicely with delicious garlicky chimichurri mayo. All staff are attentive and personable, and they strive to make your dining experience great! Belo is a true gem of a restaurant in the neighborhood. read more

After hearing all the great things about this restaurant I knew I had to make my way here. My husband and I came on a Wednesday night and got a table right away. Everyone who works here is super friendly and welcoming. We started with the fried pork belly and it was cooked to perfection. I have never had it with pineapple, it was different and I'm not sure I love the combination but my husband really enjoyed. For my entree I had the black bean soup. It came with fruit and kale, at first it seemed odd to me but once I mixed it in it all made sense. This dish was amazing and full of flavor. My husband had the pernil steak and really loved his dish as well For dessert we had the dulce de leche Oreo cheesecake, this dessert was very tasty. This restaurant has a way of combining different ingredients and just really making it work. I can't wait to come back. read more

I've been wanting to check out this Brazilian restaurant for awhile now. After dining in at this place I realized that they do have food dishes that are good, but their drinks are better. I'm not sure that I would go back for the food again. Also, bring cash as they give you 10% off the bill if you order over $50 (an option was given). For the drinks I ordered the Belojito which have 4 flights in which you pick different flavors or you can get a carafe of one flavor. I decided to order the flights in Passion Fruit, Mango, Pineapple, and Strawberry. Yes, all four were so tasty that I would order it again. The server told the story of how they don't serve hard liquor since they are across a church and laws don't allow them to get it. However, they have wine, beer and sake. I thought that was an interesting tidbit to know. For food, first we ordered the Pao DE Queijo which are Brazilian Cheese Bread it comes with a side of house garlic mayo which is so goooooddd!! Also, the server said some food items that weren't on the menu such as corn on the cob with the house garlic mayo as part of the dressing on top. Yes, it was tasty! I really want to know how one makes this mayo as it would make a bland dish taste epic. For entrees the Pernil Steak with Chimmichurri sauce and the Stuffed Burger that has Fries included. I didnt particularly enjoy the steak. The sauce threw me off as I've never had pernil with it before. All in all I'll come back for drinks, but not for the food as it is a hit or miss and would rather not deal with it. read more

Saturday night, left the house and searched for a steak dinner. Found Belo, an absolute gem in Sunnyside. Started with super crispy fish tacos, and the pao de queijo. Partner found his new favorite fish taco! Mains were a north-south combo. For me, the (American) ribeye special with potatoes and garlicky sautéed kale. If you only get one thing from my review, DO NOT SLEEP ON THE PEPPERCORN SAUCE. For him, the (Brazilian) picanha with rice, beans and all the fixins. We love a good picanha and this one was super beefy and flavorful. Service was as great as other reviews said - super chill, personable staff. Chatted with owner Jonathan for a minute about the hustle of running this restaurant and The Alcove at the same time. There's a lot of care put into this place and it shows. read more

On a rare occasion, I receive a call from my adult son who says simply, "Mom, I need a steak!" And after a few seconds of back and forth, he utters, "Now." Must be a man thing but this Mom rushed over to BELO while in the Sunnyside area and asked the greatest waiter ever, George, if she could order a steak for take out and what was the best one. George pointed to the first one on the menu, offered me a cold glass of water without my asking (now that is some good raising by his MOM!) and brought me a meal so tasty that I am presently eating any and all pieces that my son has left on his plate (which is not much). WOW. We are going back there for SURE. 5 Star. Delicious! (service and food). read more

Jonathan and fam crushing it again. Just go! I'm reading some article about new restaurants to go to and I find one that's pretty close. Come to find out, it was started by Jonathan (from the Alcove) and his dad. Well you know what has to happen... I gotta go. I've said it before and I'll say it again, good restaurants make you feel like a real guest, but that's never the Alcove and it's not Belo. The staff makes you feel like family. You spend time there and you'd swear these are just cousins you haven't seen in a while. The spot is great and the food is on point. There is a small outside with an adequate heat lamp. It's not as big as the Alcove outdoor space, but it's still there if you want to use it. The inside is beautiful and well lit. Different vibe from the Alcove, which is a good thing -- variety. The staff... you already know what's going on here. These folks couldn't be nicer, more professional, or better. They're the best. The food is great. Brazilian inspired, everything here is awesome. We had some chicken bites, sausage, bread, and more. It was all good. They've got a great compliment of cocktails, wine, and beer. The chicken bites were my favorite thing -- mouth-watering, seasoning was amazing. The Brazilian sausage was my next favorite thing on the menu. I hope you're reading this already on the way, but not if you're driving =) read more
