Finalmente Brasil

I was so happy to find some Brazilian products in Amsterdam. They don’t have THAT much to be honest, but they had the frozen acai and palmito that I was looking for. They didn’t have pineapple tea.
Based on what other reviewers have said, it seems they previous had some sort of restaurant on site. Sadly this is no longer the case.

A traditional «no fuss» Brazilian restaurant, just like you’d see on the streets of São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro. Zero atmosphere, zero glamour, but loads of food and loud Brazilians! :D
I personally dislike the service, that counts a lot for me and that’s why I avoid coming back too often — even though it serves traditional food from my home country that I’d otherwise not find anywhere else. I seriously think it’s the worst service I got here in Amsterdam.
Anyway, the food is pretty decent. They serve our famous feijoada («fei.gio.ada»): a sort of Brazilian stew with black beans, sun dried «jerky meat» (we call it «carne de sol» or «carne seca»), usually accompanied by kale. Caipirinhas? Oh yes, please. Huge dishes with farofa, white rice, chicken or beef, eggs and everything else a Brazilian eats daily for lunch/​dinner are also available.
There are other two headliners: coxinhas and pastel. Coxinha (repeat after me: «co.shi.nia») consists of shredded chicken meat covered in potato dough, molded into a shape resembling a chicken leg, battered and fried. SOUNDS AMAZING, RIGHT? It truly is, I love it. Pastel («pas.téo») is another fried goodness made of crunchy pastry dough with various options of fillings.
While you’re there, try one of the typical tropical juices such as passion-​fruit or cashew fruit. End things on good terms with a local bombom called «sonho de valsa»: a chocolate truffle wrapped in a coloured magenta foil-​thingy.

Feijoada served daily. Yum!
Come here with an appetite or order the entrees to share. The portions are huge! I would recommend sharing an appetizer and the feijoada, a stew of beans and a mix of meats that they serve with a baked banana, farofa, and pork chop — you definitely will not walk away hungry.
There’s not much atmosphere to the restaurant but the many Brazilians that are dining in the resto is a good indication of the quality of the food.
The caipirinhas are also good and quite strong.
