When Miss Favela, a new Brazilian restaurant located practically beneath the Williamsburg bridge, popped up out of no where on a running route recently, I knew that I had to try out the brightly painted spot. Every thing about this place is saturated in Brazil from the hanging flag to the colorful flower-pattern cinder block, to the blaring music, to the açai cocktails.
The food is fantastic and all-about-Brazil as well. Cod fritters arrive in a no frills red plastic basket as does a shareable portion of fried yucca. Sautéed shrimp in a saucy soup of coconut milk, red peppers, onion, and garlic is ideal in which to dip those yucca sticks. Other enticing options were various types of meat (steaks and ribs) and vegetarian options of Brazilian rice and beans and vegetables.
The wait staff is eager to please, if a little green. However, sit outside and after a few drinks made with Brazilian cachaça, it doesn’t make any difference.
