Chef Junior Borges' sleek Brazilian restaurant has been a runaway hit since opening in the Village entertainment district last May. And it's easy to see why. Unlike typical rodizio-style steakhouses, Borges pays tribute to his cultural heritage by presenting a modernized version of his home country's diverse cuisine. Expect to find everything from Asian-inspired fluke tartare served with bonito cream and finger lime vinaigrette to piri piri chicken, wagyu picanha, and a superb wood-fired whole octopus with green garlic-chili vinaigrette. The best way to tackle the menu is to come with friends who like to share. Whatever you order, don't pass up the daily bread course.
