Brazilian market & restaurant with churrasco, ceviche & pão de queijo
"You can get a sense for the diversity of Brazilian cuisine by going to any of the spots on our Best Brazilian Restaurants Guide, but for the full picture, you should head to Rio Market in Astoria. This huge grocery store sells everything from frozen acai and pao de queijo, to DIY feijoada kits and cuts of cupim (beef hump of a Zebu cattle). In the event that you’d rather let the experts do the cooking, check out the all-day restaurant inside, where you can get a phenomenal misto quente sanduiche or a big platter of picanha with rice and farofa." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
"Many of the best Brazilian restaurants in the city are buffet-style, with salads, hot food, and churrasco sold by the pound. They all have their specialties, but Rio Market stands out for its wide selection of Brazilian salads. Attached to a small grocery store, this buffet looks like any other fluorescent-lit hot bar, save for their elaborate salad set-up, which is something we’d expect to see at a tropical wedding. The best way to eat here is to stop by the bbq window to order juicy picanha and linguiça by the pound, then fill your plate with tuna ceviche, hearts of palm, and chicken salad topped with shoestring potatoes while you wait for your meat in the dining area." - neha talreja, matt tervooren
"Astoria has several buffet-style Brazilian restaurants, and we’ve had great meals at Point Brazil and Villa Brazil Café Grill when in need of a pile of homestyle food after a long day. But the top spot goes to Rio Market. Attached to a small grocery store, this buffet and churrascaria looks like any other fluorescent-lit hot bar, but the salad set-up is something we’d expect to see at a tropical wedding. Stop by the bbq window first to order juicy picanha and linguiça by the pound, then fill your plate with ancho-spiced tuna ceviche, chopped salads with hearts of palm, and chicken salad with shoestring potatoes while you wait in the dining area. Afterwards, you can choose from around 20 different brands of frozen pao de queijo to take home." - Neha Talreja
"A specialty store in Astoria open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. that still makes deliveries and stocks Brazilian items such as Pão de Queijo and snacks like Batata Palha." - Charu Suri
