Rice x Beans

Recommendations: Pasteis, Picanha, Camarão na Moranga

Good spot for Brazilian food. Enjoyed the appetizers and Caipirinhas. The feijoada was good but not my favorite, they have a nice selection of other dishes that I'd go for instead (try the seafood). Desserts were good (can't go wrong with brigadeiro).

Portions were decent. The staff are nice. The portions were generous. I had some leftovers of the mini feijoada. I didn’t love the the signature cocktail but that might be personal preference. The bathroom had an air dryer but no towels or easy way to open the door without using hands. We found the passion fruit mouse to have a gritty consistency.

I do not give a lot of 5 star reviews but this place is insane. The caipirinha was expertly made and the food was as good as mama’s, and there is no better compliment than that. Everything seasoned perfectly, without fear, and prepared fresh. I wish there were places like this near Boston, but there just aren’t. If New York wants to understand Brazilian food, this is the place. This is it. I can’t wait to bring my family here when we come back to the city. Amazing work and thank you for preparing your food with love and heart!

My parents and I visited NYC 2 weeks ago and had delicious dinner at Rice X Beans. I love the cozy interiors but the weather was gorgeous so we ate outdoors. The servings were generous and the food was so good! I highly recommend that you start with some of their delicious appetizers. We had Pão de queijo (cheese bread) and pasteis (chicken empanadas). My parents ordered feijoada for two and it was amazing! Rich flavor and loaded with chunks of meat. I ordered seafood moqueca and it was so tasty and creamy--great color and tons of seafood. We also enjoyed some awesome craft cocktails made with cachaça. Staff was very friendly. We'll visit again.

Really outstanding food. Wonderful experience. Was with my buddy who’s brother is in Mináis Gerais now so he told us what to order. The stew for two was amazing.
