Sassy and full of energy, this Brazilian restaurant in hip Adams-Morgan serves authentic dishes with flair in a funky environment complete with plastic palm trees. Start off with a fruity batida cocktail or perhaps an eye-opening caipirinha. Grilled fresh fish and creamy coconut and seafood stews bring a taste of the tropics. Chicken and beef dishes are marinated in flavorful seasonings and grilled. The national dish—feijoada; a sausage and black bean stew—is the house specialty.
