I also had my first vatapá, a traditional Afro-Brazilian dish from Bahia. The restaurant was Emporium Brasil, on W. 46th Street, a/k/a Little Brazil. There are a number of Brazilian restaurants on the block between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, but Emporium Brasil seems to have the best reputation. Vatapá is a very rich dish, described on the menu as: A Puree of Bread Crumbs & Smoked Shrimp, Peanuts, Cashew Nuts, Flavored with Coconut Milk & Palm Oil. The day I ordered this dish was within my window of opportunity: the day after my annual physical, but before I would get my cholesterol test results.

The best Brazilian restaurant in Manhattan! Staff is very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to visit this place sooner again, and again, on my next trip to New York. Abraços!

Emporium Brasil não é apenas mais um dos muitos restaurantes de comida brasileira no exterior, mas o melhor que eu conheci. A apresentação é de muito bom gosto, os funcionários super professionais, a música excelente e a comida é deliciosa: tem gosto de comida de avó e de mãe, muito bem temperada, com o sal no ponto e variada. Pena q fica em Nova York e eu moro em Barcelona, porque se eu vivesse aqui, seria freguesa assidua. PARABÉNS A TODOS QUE PARTICIPAM DESSA EQUIPE!”
