Rio Market Inc

"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. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"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

"This specialty store in Astoria is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and still does deliveries. It offers items from Pão de Queijo to Brazilian snacks like Batata Palha." - Charu Suri
