Berimbau

This sultry West Village spot welcomes diners with exposed brick, soft lighting and warm Brazilian music that sets the scene for a fantastic meal of flavorful dishes. Meat is well represented in à la carte dishes of traditional picanha, as well as grilled skirt steak in a hearts-of-palm sauce and crisp-juicy barbecued pork ribs. Seafood lovers, too, will be more than satisfied with plates such as moqueca, a creamy seafood stew spiked with coconut, and gratinéed cod with peas and Portuguese olives.
