Bar Goyana

I had an amazing family lunch at this Brazilian restaurant, and everything was perfect. The warm, tropical, and classic ambiance made us feel right at home. I started with an Aperol Spritz, which was perfectly refreshing, and enjoyed a delicious beef stroganoff—tender, flavorful, and comforting. The service was outstanding; the staff was attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even better. It’s a fantastic spot for a relaxed yet memorable meal. Highly recommend it for anyone craving authentic Brazilian flavors!

We had a great lunch yesterday with Jovana- the food was so good and we loved the service and feel of the Bar/Dining Room. We sat at a high top and had the Pastel, Queijo Coalho, and Jalepeno Parmesan Pao de queijo - then of course… TWO feijoadas. My wife had their incredible capareñas (guava/passion fruit), and I had multiple Duvals. Delicious meal, can’t wait to come back.

Great atmosphere , very artistic and beautiful space with colorful art and decorations. Food was delicious , we had the feijoada and the strogonoff and highly recommend both dishes !

I can’t say enough of good things in this restaurant. The cocktails are fancy and delicious so we got 2 glasses for each of us! The appetizers are just incredible tasty(we ordered 4 out of 6 from the menu) so I recommend you should try all of them. Moreover, you MUST try Brazilian Chicken Fricasse OMG it’s sooooo goooood!!!! The staffs are very efficient, happy, and polite. Highly recommended for Bar Goyana!!!! We’ll definitely be back soon :)) sorry I didn’t have a lot of food pics(it’s all gone so quickly right after they put them on the table 😂)

We came in here just for drinks and also ended having some snacks. They were good but this is the first time we tried Brazillian food so can't really compare it to anything else. We really liked the chill atmosphere and the whole vibe of the place. Our server was very friendly!

Bar Goyana is the most lovely, welcoming taste of Brazil in NYC. My husband and I were first introduced to this gem by friends, and then knew that we had to have our wedding dinner here. My husband is from Rio de Janeiro and was thrilled to find a Brazilian spot so close to us. Jackie and Johan (the owners) are truly the best - some of the nicest people we’ve ever met ❤️ They helped make our day so special. Now we love going for any occasion and especially love going for the parties and themed nights they host!

Okay this guacamole was fire! Really amazing and with a little heat? Yes, please. The cheese balls were yummy and staff very nice. Drinks were good!

Everything about this restaurant is stellar and phenomenal. The food is delicious and fresh. The drinks are incredible. The attention, care and artistry given to the presentation and details are top notch. Most striking, however, is the customer service on all levels. Every member of the staff - the bartender, the manager and especially our server - took such good care of us. Such a wonderful experience

I initially chose this place for its very tropical island feel and aesthetics. Beautifully decorated and for the brief 30 mins or 2 hrs I almost feel like I'm outside of NYC. It did not disappoint. Went in for mid week drinks and snacks. I love the tropic drink infusions.. I loved that it's right off the main. Service was great, server offered suggestions, everything was timely and he was attentive. I'd recommend going for the experience. Also, apparently there's a joined Italian restaurant coming to the other side soon. Will be checking that out.

Bar Goyana overall was very good, but the main dish didn't stand out to me. However, I would be back to try everything that I liked as it was pretty solid. My friend and I had the chips and guac to start which was good- the guac didn't taste puréed/fresh out of a jar which I don't like. We also got the pao de quiejo which was tasty- I would definitely opt for the stuffed ones next time though. For our mains, we shared the beef stroganoff as we had eaten before. This unfortunately fell short for me as it lacked flavor and didn't feel like an authentic Brazilian dish to me. FWIW, the drinks were tasty to compensate for the lackluster main dish. I forgot our server's name but she was very sweet and attentive. I would come back for the appetizers and drinks.

The spot's millennial core decor didn't overshadow the super friendly service. The drinks were consistently well-balanced and delicious. Ordering everything on the menu revealed the kitchen's consistent quality. The coxinha stood out, crispy on the outside with a delicious filling, enhanced by the awesome green sauce. The stews and meat dishes were all nicely executed, tender, and flavorful. This place offers an overall excellent dining experience, and the prices are reasonable. The coxinha's textural contrast, crispy exterior and soft filling, was a highlight, the herbaceous and slightly acidic green sauce complemented it well. The meat dishes showed tender cuts, signaling careful preparation and appropriate cooking. The stews were rich and deeply flavored, indicating skillful layering of ingredients. Portion sizes were appropriate for the prices, enhancing the value. The ambiance, despite its specific aesthetic, was secondary to the food. The friendly service added to the welcoming atmosphere. This joint is commendable for its consistent quality and value, making it a worthwhile dining destination.

I came here with my mom twice the place is very cute and hidden, it's like a Brazilian cocktail bar with bites. I must say that the cocktails I tried are not bad, pretty good for the area. We tried a mezcal cocktail it was pretty tasty, I tried a rum cocktail Mai tai this one was okay too sweet. We tried a couple of tapas the guacamole was pretty good, the cheese with truffle and honey was not bad but very basic. We tried the croquette and they were good the only thing I was not a fan was of the empanada not the best. The service is friendly but very slow to check in on the table to get refills. I wanted to get more drinks but getting my server was a bit hard to catch attention I feel like this place would be more busier if they improve their customer service skills and even be able to recommend and explain the drinks. Definitely will come back

I went here with a group around a week ago or so for Restaurant Week which is one of the reasonably priced ones in the city being three courses for $30. This is a small Brazilian place with a bar connected to a Belgian chocolate mousse place called Mojo Dessert Bar which is why they have that as dessert here. The staff was friendly though there wasn't really enough people so they took a bit to serve everything with some people getting their food a bit later than others but it's a casual spot so I don't mind. It was a bit hot inside even though the fan was on and the seating was slightly cramped with a large plant at the corner which doesn't really work with people trying to get in. To drink I had a caipirinha as it was happy hour. I believe it was $12 or so and I got the lime one and it wasn't that good. Couldn't really taste the cachaça at all and I probably would try a different cocktail next time. For the appetizer choice, some of us got the Coxinha or chicken croquette which had a a light green sauce on the side. It was pretty good with tender chicken and a soft batter and the portion was good with two pieces. I've had better such as at Rio Market but it was still solid and the sauce was fresh. Another person got the Pastel or as described their version of an empanada (with a choice of beef or cheese,) which came with one piece, one person got their unique twist on a Pao de Queijo/cheese bread which was cut in half and stuffed which had three small pieces, and one person got the Pineapple Da Goyana which came out very quickly. They all appeared to enjoy their appetizers. For main dish, I went with the Feijoada listed as the Brazilian National Dish consisting of a black beans and pork stew served with the usual accompaniments; white rice, collard greens, farofa, tomatoes, and orange. Their version was just OK outside of the good portion size for RW. The vast majority of the pork in there was sausage which had a smoky flavor with a handful of small pieces as well. It was a lot less varied compared to some other Brazilian spots I've been to (such as the excellent Nelore among others) so it lacked textures and was just a bit one note. The sides helped cut down the richness of the stew (particularly the farofa/toasted cassava flour) and it was overall good but not great. A person across from me got the Bobó de Camarão or shrimp and cassava stew served with white rice and the same farofa. I tried a bit of the stew which had a good thick texture as expected from the cassava with some light coconut sweetness and there was plenty of shrimp in there and I thought overall it was better even from the small taste. One person at the table had the Chicken Stroganoff consisting of chicken and mushroom stew with white rice and crispy potato sticks which they enjoyed. Dessert as noted was from Mojo Sweets; a Belgian chocolate mousse place connected to here. You can read my full review on there here https://www.yelp.com/biz/mojo-desserts-new-york?hrid=hfFY0qoq5ULp9KgnyOkxiQ but in general, I liked the passion fruit one the most with the dark chocolate also being excellent and the hazelnut one being a bit too sweet. This place was fine. The feijoada wasn't that good here nor was my drink but the appetizer and dessert were very tasty. It's not the best Brazilian food I've had or even close but the deal was good for $30. I don't mind haphazard service for a little neighborhood place but the food had a bit too many faults. 3.3 or so.

We came by this Brazilian restaurant to continue birthday celebrations. I loved how you felt the culture and authenticity as soon as you walk in. They have beautiful murals and intricate lights hanging to create a unique ambiance. I ordered the Brazilian Mojito, which was nicely made and fruity flavored. The dinner menu is mostly small plates and a few entrees. I tried the FEIJOADA which is the "Brazilian National Dish." I enjoyed the Black Beans and Pork Stew. The collard greens were sliced and lemon flavored. I didn't finish the meal because it left me wanting more. It was a nice experience to try a Brazilian restaurant that's not a steakhouse, but I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone for other than drinks and good service.

Wow. Cozy little cocktail bar conveniently located in the neighborhood. The bartender was super friendly and on point. We made it for happy hour and glad we did! El barrio de fuego - spicy and smoky. This was an eclectic drink and a nice surprise. Definitely good to try if you are looking for something new. Capriniha - refreshing. A solid creation of a classic. Cocktail of the day drink - solid as well The Pao was addictive ! I would also just eat Pao without any stuffing! There are a bunch of others we need to try ! Definitely need to return.

Small, family owned and run Brazilian spot with authentic food. Great portions and happy hour menu. It was very busy and there is limited seating.

The decor and the ambiance is so cute!! The drinks list is so long and every time I've ordered a drink here they have never disappointed, the serial to each drink is great! The bread both kind a must get don't even think twice! It's incredible! The salad was great when u add protein to it otherwise you will probably still be hungry. The dressing on the salad was great and although it lacked quinoa when asked to give a little more they accommodated well!! The pot pie was light and the flavor was good! The mousse was incredible and they are truly known for that ! If you are looking for a date night spot this is a good place!

So cute! It's like you're downtown but you are absolutely uptown on 100th and Lex. A hidden gem! Grabbing a drink with my husband and loving the outside space. Chairs are super comfortable and ambiance is sweet. We both got a You Made It Uphill and we deserved it after walking up that damn hill. Mezcal was terrific and presentation looked rich. We ordered the bread with prosciutto and cheese and the braise rib bruschetta. Delish! Beef in the bruschetta was so tasty and made for the perfect bite. We will be back- we found a new neighborhood date night spot and I'm so happy about that!

I had an excellent time here at Bar Goyana. The ambiance is super cool. The staff is very cooperative and professional. The food and drinks are both very affordable and nice.

Clean excellent food. Staff is very knowledgeable and happy to discuss. Very busy. Mid week lunch is less busy.

Great little neighborhood Brazilian restaurant with a nice vibe. Menu is limited, but they do a very good job at what they serve. Recommend the feijoada. Service is friendly. Highly recommend. The first time we ate there was for a friend's birthday. There were about 10 of us. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed their meals. The second time we ate there, there was an engagement party with about 25 guests crowded into the larger room. When the party started, we moved to the smaller room where there's just 2 tables and a few seats at the bar. Was a bit cramped, but we were happy and so was the other couple with us.

Bar Goyana is an amazing! the food was delicious, the staff were so pleasant and kind. The restaurant is beautiful decorated. It is very clear that the owners and staff love their culture, food, people and what the do. I will go back over and over and over again. Huge shout out to Giovanna! She's so sweet!

A must go to in Harlem! If you are interested in Brazilian bites and cocktails (or like cocktails in general) this is the place to go to! The owners are super friendly and they also own Mojo Mousse Bar next door. Now that it's fall definitely check out the fall drink menu! It's a nice cozy spot for friends to gather and catch up. There is seating in door and outdoor. Check the pics to see my favorite cocktails from here.

This is an adorable small little gem in East Harlem. The portion sizes are very generous so if you're planning to eat family style keep this in mind. We took a lot of left overs home. The strawberry mango salad (salada tropical) was my favorite after the hazelnut praline mousse. There is a cute outdoor eating area. Service was a bit slow as there seemed to be only one waiter for the entire restaurant but otherwise a very cute experience.

As a Brazilian immigrant, I usually like to support Brazilian businesses in NYC. However, I was beyond disappointed with Bar Goyana. I don't know if the food is good or not because I never got my order. The waitress just forgot to write it down after I was waiting for about 30 minutes. They also forgot to bring water to the table. Will never go back.

If you're looking for a new bar to try, Bar Goyana just opened in July and is serving up some wonderful Brazilian cocktails. The Belgian-Brazilian couple behind MOJO Mousse Bar brings us this new Brazilian-inspired cocktail bar that's located in the space next door to the mousse shop. It's perfect for an outing with friends, a date or an after dinner treat (drinks + dessert)! We tried: *Berry Carmen Miranda *Classic Lime Caipirinha *Belgian Fashion (you get a yummy piece of chocolate with it!) *Strawberry Caipirinha *El Barrio Tropical *You Made It Uphill (they are on a hill lol) *The Goyana They have food offerings as well. Unfortunately I didn't get to try any as I stumbled upon this right after brunch with some friends, but I'm eyeing their Pineapple da Goyana and Crab Cake for next time! Check them out and show some support if you can!

I came to this restaurant with a group of 5 people initially for drinks but it turned into dinner. We were asked if he had reservations when the restaurant was empty which was interesting. This is my first time going to a Brazilian restaurant that wasn't a steakhouse and it was an experience. Some of us ordered small plate tapas. I wanted an entree so I explored new flavors with the shrimp dish that had powdered yuca and rice. My Love had Black Beans Pork Sausage Stew over rice with a side of collard greens that had lemon juice drizzled on top of it. Everything tasted great. The powered yucca is an acquired taste and texture but im glad i tried it. I ordered the Moscow Mule and asked if they could passion fruit juice in it and it tasted amazing which perfectly balanced at the meal. The ambience is cute and intimate. They have happy hour specials and the waitress was kind when she translated the inspirational quotes on the wall for us Non-Portuguese speakers. I will definitely come back for drinks and dessert next-door

Absolute hidden gem in the city. I almost didn't want to write this review because I wanted to keep this place to myself, but I simply can't. It's that good. We discovered it about two months ago and have been 3 times since (which says a lot considering the number of options in NYC!). It's tucked away on a street in the UES but once you walk in, you feel like you're back in Brazil! It's the perfect date night spot or happy hour with friends to enjoy DELICIOUS margaritas! The food is absolutely amazing. We ordered one round of 3 empanadas and had to order another because they were delicious. Also ordered a few more appetizers to share; I strongly recommend the stuffed pao de quiejo at the recommendation of our server, who was very kind and ultra-attentive. Thank you so much for your service! We had such a great time and can't wait to go back!

I loved Bar Goyana. I have been there twice since posting this review. The staff is very personable and will help you pick out what you want because there are so many delicious options. The waiter is great. I wish I got his name! The cocktails here are really the stars of the show for me. The Caipirinha is amazing - full of flavor and perfectly mixed. If you can, spring for the version with Leblon. You literally don't taste the alcohol. I also think you should try the caipirinha,at least , once because it's a Brazilian drink and Bar Goyana is a Brazilian spot. My favorite food items would have to be the crab cake and the chicken pot pie ( I cannot think of the actual name, but this is how it's described on the menu). The crab cake was a different texture than I was used to but had great flavor. The pot pie had a really delicious crust and a solid filling on the inside. But to be clear, nothing here was bad. I enjoyed all of my food. Looking forward to going back and getting some of my faves but also trying some new things. We also got to meet the owner because he was working when we went. Love this spot and love that it's in Harlem. It's definitely worth putting on your list

East Harlem is really stepping up its cocktail game! It's definitely cozy but you get all the warm, fun Brazilian vibes when you enter. During the winter, it was a much needed reprieve. Of course, the drinks are amazing. But the cherry on top that always makes my day is that the caipirinhas here come with a little whimsy in the form of a parrot. When you go, you'll see what I'm talking about :)

Truly high vibrations at this super cute Brazilian eatery on the upper east side of NYC. If you are into Brazilian cuisine, you won't be disappointed, especially if you try the Guacamole, Pao, Feijoada, and Pineapple skewers (surprisingly simple and delicious). They also have lovely mocktails for those #sobercitizens amongst you. The food took a little longer than I'd hope (more than a half hour) to arrive, so I had to rush. On the plate with the fixings for the Feijoada, I wanted the collards to be richer, maybe with olive oil or butter, and definitely needed more flavor (garlic/onion). The shred on the collards was perfect, but they were pretty flavorless (I know this was to catch the flavor of the stew, which it did well.) Similarly, I wanted the tomatoes to have a bit more flavor. I may be partial because one of my favorite Brazilian restaurants had these incredible sides, like pickled hot peppers, onions and tomatoes, and I wanted a little more spice on the plate. The stew itself was FIRE and I devoured every last bit. If I'm ever on that side, I'd definitely visit again!

My coworkers and I had a great time at this cute cocktail bar nearby work. Interior: very cute and good use of decoration and space. The tropical feel was very different. Drinks: They had happy hour lime caipirinha for $10 and it was good and strong. Food: The stuffed pao de queijo were super yummy and we ended up ordering 3 plates of those. Would definitely recommend the prosciutto and herb cheeses. The guacamole was good as well. The queijo coalho was not my favorite but an interesting blend of flavors. Service: a little bit on the slower side but the place was smaller and the workers were simultaneously bartending and serving Overall: Definitely look forward to going back!

I suggested this place for my daughter's post Central Park wedding champagne toast and appetizer spot. It couldn't have been a better choice. They had beautifully prepared the outdoor seating area to accommodate our party of around 20. The selection of appetizers, drinks and champagne pacing was perfect, as was the dedicated "server". I highly recommend this place for an event gathering or as simply a spot to enjoy the offerings in a place with gorgeous relaxed ambiance. Don't miss it!

Great for locals and tourists! I love this place! Charming and artsy, the vibe is a cross between Brazilian vacation and NY bistro. The service was excellent. The food was delicious and unique. Excellent cocktail selection with Brazilian and house creations. Good for sharing or individual portions. Having the owner's Belgian mousse shop next door made for a great dessert (our party enjoyed the dark chocolate, white chocolate and matcha mousse flavors).

The owner is very kind and welcoming. The cocktails are excellent! For food, we only got the crab cake but it was delicious. I would definitely come back to try more of the menu. Side notes: fun international music. Allows dogs in the outdoor seating area

Fantastic cocktails and food and exceptional service and ambiance. For food, ordered the bruschetta, guacamole and chips, crab cake, and the passion fruit and dark chocolate mousse. All were excellent. For drinks, ordered the summer seasonal Loosy Goosy, Vera Veroe (spelling might be off; first item on cocktail list), and the Goyana. Not overwhelmingly sweet and very flavorful. I'm surprised it took me this long to stumble upon this gem. All in all a superb visit and I will definitely be coming back! Side note: Try out MOJO too! Literally right next door

Goyana is a Brazilian-inspired cocktail bar created by Jacqueline and Johan that brought us MOJO Mousse Bar, the first mousse bar in America. The cocktail program was created by the talented Danielle Espindola that is also a Brazilian native. The first thing on the cocktail menu is the Caipirinha, the national cocktail of Brazil, made with Cachaça. Not familiar with Cachaça? It is a distilled spirit made from fermented sugarcane juice. Caipirinhas are one of those refreshing cocktails that would remind you should be on a beach with your Out of Office notification turned on. The signature cocktails on the menu also include tequila and mezcal-based options and signature cocktails such as Moscow Mule, Negroni, Mojito, and more. You will also notice a variety of Belgian beers on the drink menu because the co-owner, Chef Johan is from Belgium. The food menu comprises small plates that pay homage to Brazilian and Latino cuisines. One of them is Empandao de Frango, a savory Brazilian pie that reminds me of chicken pot pie but with a more flaky puff pastry outside. Crowd favorites include Pineapple da Goyana, Guacamole, and Queijo Coalho. Queijo Coalho is grilled curd cheese topped with Black Truffle Honey can be seen on each table in Bar Goyana, and is clearly a crowd favorite. On the weekend, brunch is offered, and there is only one thing on the menu: Feijoada. Feijoada is a Brazilian dish that includes black bean pork stew, rice, chopped collard greens, orange slices, farofa, and a vinaigrette. This was my first time having Feijoada, and it was so filling and delicious, and a dish I encourage mixing all the ingredients together. Bar Goyana is open Wednesday - Sunday and starting August 16th they will be open 7 days a week. Dom's Picks El Barrio Tropical Belgian Fashion Crab Cakes Queijo Coalho Empadao de Frango

Great Brazilian tapas and cocktail bar and restaurant. Brazilian-inspired food, drinks, decor and music. This will be a hit in this up and coming neighborhood that has many great casual restaurants within a couple blocks. Upbeat Brazilian music playing and intimate seating that allowed chatting with friendly people at neighboring tables if you're feeling social. This was the first time I've chatted with "strangers" since the pandemic, and met a handful of really nice people close to us talking about the amazing food, drinks and more. There are also a few tables outside the patio dining area for customers, which included some solo diners, small groups, friends, families and couples. Background. The business name is a tribute to owner Jacqueline's hometown Goiania in Brazil. The owners are a husband and wife team who also own the neighboring Mojo Mousse bar, with the husband Johan being the Chef at both places and receiving features in New York Times and other publications. Ambiance. The outside seating area has a well crafted woodwork design, adorned with pretty white lace draperies, some plants and a tree draping over the top. (The plastic bananas, lemons and parrots added to the outside area take away from the classy ambiance in my opinion, but still very nice.) The cute and cozy inside is festive Brazilian, designed by a Brazilian interior designer, a few pieces of artwork featuring three famous, female Brazilian creatives and a mural painting as a focal point with the quote from Brazilian Poet Coda Coralina, "We cannot add days to our life but we can add life to our days." Food and drinks. A Brazilian mixologist designed the cocktail menu. - The Belgian Fashion, an old fashioned made with bourbon and chocolate bitters from Mojo Mousse, was delicious. What an interesting twist to a favorite cocktail. Served on a wooden coaster and with a piece of chocolate on the side - You Made It Uphill, a tasty, fruity mezcal cocktail served with a cute flower and miniature clothing clip. Very nice touch. For the delicious tapas, we had: - Beautifully presented, generous serving of seasoned pineapple, garnished with a pretty flower on the side. The mysterious seasoning includes a very light sea salt and was fantastic. This was a hit, a must order, and everyone in our vicinity ordered it. - Mini Crab Cakes (Owner/ Chef Johan's specialty). Delicious, lumped crab meat. I am very particular about crab cakes and often do not like them; but these have small chunks of crab, and a tasty sauce that made them the best I have had. - Stuffed Pao de Queijo. Heavenly miniature Belgian pasty puffs from Mojo's stuffed with herb cheese and prosciutto. These were amazing. Recommend for an upbeat Brazilian cocktail bar.

Overall (5/5): A trendy oasis in the neighborhood offering hand-crafted cocktails and Brazilian bites that won't disappoint. Extremely friendly owner and wonderful staff. A regular spot! Food (4.5/5): The stuffed pão de quiejo is heavenly. Cheesy, warm, crunchy outside and chewy almost tapioca-y inside, The cheese is like haloumi but a bit squeakier and covered with a light floral-infused honey. The pineapple was delicious and refreshing - chunks of fruit dusted with lime + salt. The drinks are also incredible! Didn't have one myself but will be back regularly to try the full assortment. Atmosphere (5/5): Inside is cozy but well-decorated. Lots of spaces to drink, and the adjacent Mojo Mousse bar has the most amazing Belgian mousses. Outdoor seating available as well. Great for date night. Uniqueness (5/5): Nothing like it in the area! Value (4/5): Typical prices but well worth it.

What a gem. My girlfriend and I popped in for a drink on a Sunday afternoon and we ended up staying for 2 hours. Anthony was a great host and an even better mixologist. The cocktails here are next level. We're jealous we don't live near here and have this as our local.

This is a Brazilian restaurant adjacent to Mojo, a Belgian mousse spot. It could not be more charming! A small dining room, means best to have a reservation. The cocktails are uniquely Brazilian, delicious and beautiful (and we loved the Brazilian music piped in). The menu combines tapas with traditional Brazilian entrees. There is something for everyone. The truffle cheese bites are amazing! Everything was delicious! That includes the chicken stew, salads, hearts of palm pot pie. Oh, yes, and for dessert, you can order the mousse from next door (chocolate, white chocolate, matcha).

This place is so cute. They has some good drinks and we absolutely loved the guava special! Server is really good.. definitely pass by

A little oasis of great drinks and food not to mention the yummy desserts. Great music and very friendly unpretentious staff. Highly recommended. Salud!!!!!

I came cross this little mousse shop then I learned that the bar+restaurant and the mousse shop is actually the same one. So I got a hazelnut mousse. And ordered food separately to go. I had their black beans pork sausage stew. It is so so good! It's beyond my words. And the dish came with all the toppings that will add so many layers of flavor to the dish! Here is a must try. And I will definitely come back for their other meals

We came here last night and I must say it was a delicious experience. I look forward to coming back and trying more of their food items. We ordered the crab cakes and guacamole. The guacamole was a bit chunky for me; I like more of a mashed consistency but my sister loved it. We had the crab cake which was quite delicious. Now the crab cake is a bit pricey it is only one per an order but it is very delicious. You can taste the crab and it is very flavorful and has a great sauce. I really enjoyed it. I think it would make a great entree if they add a side and maybe another crab cake. The drinks are always a hit. I had the guava caipirinha and my sister the mango caipirinha. The caipirinha for my sister was too strong but I happily drank both of them. We also got the mojo mouse which is amazing on the house as a thank you for coming to celebrate the bartender Carlos who is awesome. The mouse is quite delicious and light the perfect way to end a meal. I always like it when businesses appreciate their employees. I really enjoyed it and the service is great. It is a small place which has a homey vibe. I will definitely be back.

What an awesome spot! Very authentic Brazilian food and cocktails. I literally loved everything here. Favorite: Beef Bruschetta. You can't go wrong with anything here. Super friendly people, cute decor.

Ótimo! Came here to taste Brazilian food in NYC, and it was just wonderful. Caíparinhas are a must to take you to Brazil while you're here.

Tremendous asset to the neighborhood - as the area was highly lacking in a great cocktail space. I just noticed this place open up recently and finally had the pleasure of dining and drinking this week. None of my party was disappointed with any of the food or the libations. I loved the Tommy's Margarita and especially the El Barrio, because I really like mango puree. The food was absolutely exquisite. I could order several platters of that cheese with truffle oil or like 3 orders of the delicious guacamole. I cannot wait to come back because the service was so friendly and warm. The owners introduced themselves to us and really made us feel welcome. Even after we'd finished our drinks and food, they didn't try to rush us out and I really appreciate the relaxed environment. It is a great plus that you can dine either inside or outdoors.

I almost don't want to post this review because I want this place to stay hidden for just a bit longer. The food is great, atmosphere is sublime, and the mousse is the best in the city. Come and enjoy the best bar in the upper east side area

Great spot with fantastic drink menu and cozy decor. Nice food options as well. Great for a casual date or outing with friends.

We decided to come here by the recommendation of the owner and it was a very nice experience all around. The food and drinks were great and the service was exceptional. We truly enjoyed the atmosphere as well.

Best Caprihana drinks and the shredded roast toast bites are delicious !!!! Great atmosphere too.

Lovely bar and great food service with Yumi pao de queijo brasileño, very friendly staff, great music and great drinks!!! A must in the neighborhood!!!

Delicious small Brazilian bites and one of a kind cocktails! A local gem :) perfect for date nights or a night with friends

Discovered this place while walking past just after we finished dinner so tried out their mousse. And really enjoyed...we took dark chocolate and passion fruit and enjoyed both. Highly recommend! Very cool vibe as well. Note: Passion fruit one is quite tangy

So I went Saturday 7/18 to a block party and was excited to go get a drink and Some great Brazilian food. What a shit show we waited 20 minutes inside and bartender was making one drink at a time and didn't tell us we had to wait outside for 2 hours to buy a drink ticket. We went around corner and got a Prosecco and sat there and wondered who didn t they prepare for this? Now there having another one this Saturday? Oh boy ! Best thing found Naught Crab down the street and had wonderful food.

Decided to go here on a Friday night for drinks and a small plate and I was with another person and while there was a table for 4 we were seated at the back section which felt a bit racially motivated since everyone at the bar area was not a POC, anyways we order drinks and the crab cake which was savory and amazing then I finish my drink and my glass was taken away without asked if I wanted another or anything else and it was only 9pm then we waited until 9:20 when no one asked if I needed anything so I decided to get up and ask for the check since no one was checking up on us. We got the bill, paid and weren't even told to have a good night, it's a shame that a place with a delicious food and drink menu in East Harlem doesn't value its customers. I still tipped 20% but I don't think they deserved it at the end
