Editorial Review

Soccer-hating vegetarians best steer clear of this bar and grill. Saturday and Sunday games are shown on the TV, while posters of Pelé and Ronaldo watch diners choose from a long Portuguese-English menu featuring multifarious Brazilian-style meats. Appetizers of sausage, fried chicken and calamari precede main platters of pork, chicken or fish—all served with rice, beans and vegetables. Mains $10–$25.
