Went to Emporium Brasil for a business meal and had a great experience. As a Brazilian, I appreciate when a restaurant keeps real authenticity, and this place does a solid job of that. I ordered the Bife a Cavalo, a classic steak and eggs dish, and it was absolutely delicious. Simple, well executed, and very satisfying. They also offer feijoada and other traditional Brazilian dishes, which is great to see, especially in NYC. You can tell the menu stays true to Brazilian flavors rather than over adapting them. Do not skip dessert. The flan is fantastic and a perfect way to finish the meal. Overall, a very good spot for Brazilian food in New York, whether for business or a casual meal. I would definitely go back. read more

Excellent food. Excellent service. Recommended the flank steak special. It was fantastic, as was the flan, and the Brazilian Cabernet.

Located in Hell's Kitchen, this place is lovely and spacious. My friend and I shared the Cheese Bread, which was served warm and incredibly cheesy. For the entree, I selected File de Peixe Com Camarao, which consisted of fillet of fish sauteed with shrimp, butternut squash and coconut milk. This also came with fried kale on top. The fish was delightfully tender, flaky, while the shrimp was succulent, as well as juicy. The coconut milk based sauce was creamy, smooth, full of flavor and well seasoned. The butternut squash was cooked perfectly and just the right amount of softness. The kale was slightly crunchy and petty tasty. Dishes came with rice, beans, and salsa, I wanted to try Quindim, one of the desserts, which is a baked custard made with sugar, egg yolks, and coconut. Unfortunately, they were out of it. Service was pretty good. The pricing was a bit on the expensive side, but on par with restaurants in the neighborhood. I would possibly return at some point to try the Mixed Meat or Brazilian prime top sirloin. read more

Great choice if you're in the area.... We shared a salad and a few different apps., and LOVED everything we tried!! SO many choices in this area, but this surprisingly authentic taste of Brasil is AMAZING. Reasonable prices, service, and DEFINITELY something for just about everyone...!!! Mmmmmmmm!!! read more

Great service, great food., good ambiance. Waiter was really fun. Good steak, good flan.

The food here makes other places seem like practice runs. Waiter was really perky and helped us out with what was what on the menu. The family consensus is positive about this restaurant. The place has both beauty and the right energy. Generally speaking, the food was fantastic. read more

Have been coming here for 20 years. Have to say we were a tad disappointed in the steaks - a bit chewy and one slightly over done. My shrimp with yucca sauce was very good and the shrimp properly cooked. Chicken also very good. Nice bottle of Sangiovese. Not sure we will be back. Same chef for 25 years but the quality of beef has changed. Decor on the other hand has not been updated. Bread service delicious - all enjoyed bread with a good crust. Service, was as always excellent. Not sure we will return. read more

Came here with friends for a dinner and it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food, ambiance and service were all top notch and setting the tone was our server João. He was so helpful with the menu and all around a polished professional. We started with a pitcher of drinks....I am not sure of the name but there was passion fruit and vodka. I believe it was Caipiroska, forgive my ignorance if I didn't get it right...I'm still learning. For appetizers, we had Linguiça com Mandioca (yucca and sausage) Quibe (Fried beef croquette) Porção de Mini Pão de Queijo (Cheese Bread) and Coxinha de Frango (Traditional Fried Chicken Croquette). Everything was great but the sausage and the cheese bread were the standouts for me. For my entree I had Bife Acebolado (Grilled steak, onions, rice and fries). It said it was an 8 oz steak but it felt like a side of beef! It was great. The only regrettable part was that I was so full I didn't even eat any rice. Service was amazing the entire evening. I would love to take friends from out of town here because I think they would be impressed. I sure was! Love this place! read more

Joao was so sweet and gave amazing recommendations! He really made our night, such amazing service!

Pulled up on this place for an early dinner before a play in the city. The caipirinha's were slightly sweet, a little tangy with a heavy pour (they were perfect). Food was pretty exceptional. I was a huge fan of the Appetizer 46, the fish croquettes and the Branzino. The Yuca fries were a miss (dry and no season), calamari not pictured ( dull and no tentacles) . Service was fast and attentive. I'll def be back :) read more

In the last five trips in the past year to New York, this restaurant easily became one of my favorite. Amazing picanha steak plate, amazing feijoada complete, amazing pao de queijo, great passion fruit mousse, and great variety of caipirinha drinks. This place will probably have you splurge a bit, but considering it is in the middle of Manhattan, their prices are not actually that outrageous considering also the vibe and the quality of both service and food. I'll be back for sure, as this is one of the best Brazilian restaurant I've been to ever since leaving Florida. read more

I came here two days now. The first day I had the prex fixe menu item (trout). The second day -- was a lovely steak selection. Carlo helped me both days and is truly the consummate professional and ever-so-knowledgeable. I just loved the vibe. Was in the neighborhood this week -- but I shall be back !!! Bread was also delicious -- read more

Ever since becoming a World Cup fanatic, I needed to find a spot to mourn Brazil's exit from the World Cup, and simultaneously enjoy a delicious dinner with friends. I can say I was able to achieve both successfully here, a space that feels instantly comfortable and teleports you out of such a busy and bustling metropolitan city. Doesn't matter if you sit at the bar or at a table, service is immaculate. Beyond friendly and kind staff here, and the food just magically appears within moments. Doesn't even matter what you order, it will be delicious. The Picanha is easily and divinely shareable between two to three people, and the assortment of the pastries was such a smart decision to dip our toes in. The pao de queijo is cheesy goodness. The drinks were dangerously addictive, I will be coming back for more passion fruit caipirinhas (cachaça) & strawberry batidas. read more

I was very pleased with the food I had at this restaurant. I had a beef empanada for an appetizer and the grilled steak, onions, rice and beans for an entree. The empanada was larger than I remember them in the past but well filled. The steak with onions was very good and well done as per my request. The service was excellent as was the ambiance. I would eat there again. read more

Went here before a comedy show around the area. Homie family style restaurant. Staff was really nice. Went here to try out Brazilian food other than a steakhouse. Food was good and our server was helpful explaining all the dishes. Fried chicken croquettes with cream cheese was so yummy. Come try if you want to try some Brazilian food. read more

I ordered steak and eggs for brunch the other day and based on the pictures, I was sure it would come properly cooked. I asked for a medium rare steak and over hard eggs. Unfortunately my steak was well well done, too tough for me to eat. I think the beans might've had sausage in them (which i dont eat) because of this smokey meaty scent emanating from them. The rice was cooked perfectly. The codfish ball, which my grandma makes and i've been eating all my life, just tasted like a huge fried fishy textured thing. I don't think cod fish balls should be made by anyone other than Portuguese people since I haven't had any that compares to the ones from Portugal but it was a fun surprise to see and taste them from a Brazilian restaurant. I would give this place a second chance only because I adore Brazilian cuisine and maybe the restaurant was busy or the staff was having an off day. read more

TL; DR: Good, respectful service. Nice layout. Cute table setting. Good eats. Solid drinks. Clean bathroom. The whole picanha: The flavored caipirinhas were all a bit too heavy handed on the flavoring, making them a little too sweet and less liquored. But the traditional popped perfectly! The serving size was a bit on the small side, though. The Brazilian Variety of Savory Pastries (6 pc.) made for a perfect start. We both liked all three equally. My friend was about the Bife Acebolado (8 oz. - Grilled steak, onions, rice and fries). Read: we always share everything. This time? I was not offered a bite. I am still thinking about the Branzino com Camarão (Sautéed Branzino with Shrimp, butternut squash and coconut milk sauce). The sauce is delicate yet flavorful. The Branzino filleted and cooked perfectly (the flake!). The shrimp were tender. Oddly (but welcomed) the butternut squash was actually the standout bite of the dish. It was all great. But this - which never happens - happened: Me: You wanna try? Friend: *nods* Me: *offers full chunk* Friend: *shakes head* Me: *cuts small piece* Friend: *eats small piece. Stops. Head tilts and eyes pop* Me: *points to the remainder of the chunk* Friend: *vigorously nods before stabbing and devouring remainder of the chunk* I do not know what they did to that there squash, but I would eat it and that sauce over some rice any day. Collards were standard but good with nice bite to them. The julienne vegetables were exceptional! And sizeable portions, each. You could absolutely make a meal out of either side paired with rice and beans, making EB a place to keep on your radar if you need a spot to please both carnivores and veggies. The rice was cooked perfectly. I wasn't a fan of the beans, as I found them to be under seasoned. But they give you the Brazilian hot sauce as soon as the food comes out. So it was easy to doctor them up. Last but never least, the price was right! I will most definitely be back and undoubtedly recommend considering them for a lovely meal experience. read more

Emporium Brasil - Fillet of Branzino (Branzino com Camarao) Grilled steak with onions (Bife Acebolado) Julienne Vegetables Collard greens (Couve) - Brazilian Near Me - New York, New York

Emporium Brasil is a solid restaurant.  I haven't eaten there since right before the pandemic and decided to order delivery last night since I had to work late. I ordered my usual grilled steak with onions, which was cooked, medium rare, to perfection as always!  If I had dined there instead of having allowed the steak to cook longer from the residual heat while en route to me, then it would have looked a little rarer than it does in the close-up pic.  I love the chips...they arent crispy like the snack, but thick and soft with enough give for a satisfying bite.  There were enough so that some soaked up the juices from the steak and grilled onions, yet also more than enough that remained dry.  The steak was nicely seasoned with salt and pepper and the grilled onions added some nice flavor.  It comes with black beans along with a side of vinaigrette comprised of some diced tomatos and onions, which adds nice contrast and which I ate with the chips.  I also ordered their mashed potatoes, in which I indulged like I just got out of prison.  This place has not missed a beat and I'm looking forward to dining there, inside next time, soon! read more

Just another dinner out. Didn't really knock my socks off. Service good. Waiter tried real hard. Never did get his name, but always willing to accommodate. Decor was subtle, not overpowering and calm, but nothing extraordinary. Food. Cesar Salad. Didn't jump out of the bowl. Few shreds of lettuce and cheese with Cesar dressing. Lacked punch. Seafood stew: 4 shrimp, 4 mussels, 4 clams and a whole lot of calamari with a very bland tomato purée sauce. Flounder was the only redeeming quality. In a light lemon sauce. We'll give it a good and a half. Creme Brûlée, also good and a half. Going back, probably not. read more

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. We were not planning on coming but the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed and we found this nearby (I'm a big fan of Brazilian food.) There was plenty of outdoor seating available but we opted to sit inside. The restaurant was very clean and the ambiance was very classy/romantic, very perfect for a date. Our servers were very kind and right away came up to us to offer us water and drinks as well as answer our questions about the menu. For food we ordered the Brazilian pão de queijo portion of 8 which came out within 5 min and were small, cheesy, delicious balls of heavenly bread. They had a nice crust to them and were full of flavorful, warm cheese on the inside. We also ordered the regular table bread which came toasted and with butter. For the main dishes my boyfriend ordered the picanha which I sadly did not take a picture of, but it was a very generously sized piece of steak and it was delicious! It came with rice and black beans on the side as well as farofa (toasted cassava flour) which we added to the black beans! It also came with crispy chip style fries that were perfectly cooked and not soggy at all! I ordered the Branzino com Camarão which was a branzino fillet with shrimp on a coconut milk sauce with some butternut squash and crispy spinach. This dish was soo delicious. The fish was tender and melted in my mouth like butter. The shrimp was also well seasoned (although I wish the dish had come with a few more since there were only 4 small shrimp on my plate). The butternut squash was a fantastic compliment to the dish since it absorbed the sauce well and was full of flavor! The portion was very generous as well! Sadly we were too full to try dessert but next time we will make sure to save room. This was a fantastic restaurant! I will be coming back when I crave Brazilian food. read more

Went here for dinner. Food and service were fine, but not remarkable. Expected value for Manhattan.

Amazing Brazilian restaurant in the city. The ambiance was great. Seating was inside as well as an outside covered area on the street. Both dining areas maintained social distancing. The moment I walked in the host greeted me warmly. I was then given the choice of being seated inside or outside. I selected indoors. After being seated, I noticed how lovely the dining area was. The mealtime bread was excellent. The server was amazing and even one of the lunch specials I selected from menu I saw on the street, roasted chicken, he agreed and gave major kudos. It came with rice and beans and I ordered a sign of collard greens. The chicken was so good with just the right seasoning. The rice and beans that accompanied it was awesome. The collards were so delicious. The Guarana Antarctica drink that I love to drink was available here and complemented the meal well. After the meal, the server suggested the Brazilian Chocolate cake but I was full. I saw it on another table. I told the server I would get on another visit. Definitely must try restaurant. read more

Mediocre restaurant. They have the usual menu you find in a Brazilian restaurant, but everything I tasted was below average. We had pao de queijo (very weak...you do better heating the frozen ones you find in Astoria), linguica, strogonoff de frango and picanha with sides of rice and beans and potatoes. Not worth the prices. read more

Right off 5th just north of 42nd is a great location. Staff were super friendly and helpful and the food was tasty. We had the fish stew and black bean, beef and pork stew which were both very tasty. The caiparinhs were delicious too. It's not a classy location, but the atmosphere is pleasant enough. Will likely return to try more of their extensive menu. read more

Ate here on a Thursday night around 7pm. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived however the whole places filled up around 9ish. The atmosphere was "business elegant" but there were definitely guests dressed in jeans/shorts. The service was probably the best part of the restaurant. Our waiter was super patient and able to give us recommendations. He wasn't pushy and allowed us to sit and chat after dinner. I was not very impressed with the meat choices. Everything seemed very similar (aka an 8oz steak and fries). They did have a pre fixe menu for $35 where you got salad/soup, one of three entrees (a chicken, fish, or steak dish) and a flan for dessert. I laughed when looking at the wine options. Only two wines on their entire list were from Brazil and one from Portugal. We got the $30 white bottle from Portugal and it was refreshing! We opted for two fish dishes, the traditional Brazilian baradda in coconut milk and the cod fish in lemon sauce. Both dishes were mid $20 priced. The fish was excellent and the portions were an average size. For an app we got this bowl full of fried chicken, sausage and shrimp in lemon wine sauce $13. It was good as well. We were full and said no to dessert but most were priced at $7-$8. The thing that turned me off was that there were flies buzzing around our food and heads throughout the meal. I didn't want to think about it during the meal, but it makes me question the cleanliness of the restaurant. Overall, pretty underwhelming experience. Ive been to the other Brazilian place on the same block and it's better. I would skip it! read more

I took a little vacation for a weekend in New York City and I was craving some yummy Brazilian food. I came across this place on Yelp actually. Our server was super kind and had a sense of humor. He spoke Portuguese which was nice! I'm from Brazil so it made the experience even better! The food was delicious and very close to the food from home. The two factors that made me give this place 4 stars is that the food did take a bit too much time to get to us. The kitchen was running slow because they weren't busy at the time. (We went for lunch) I also found it to be too pricey! The drinks and the food. Other than that, if you are patient and don't mind paying a few bucks check this place out! ***maybe eat a snack before going, don't go with an empty stomach read more
