I'm not a big fan of rodizo as I find the food to be too salty. But here are some places that you might try. Never tried rodizo at these places but maybe someone else can give you more info.

Brasilia 132-A Ferry St. Newark 973-465-1227

Iberia Tavern and Restaurant 82 Ferry ST. Newark 973-344-7603

Seabra’s 21 1034 Mc Carter Highway Newark 201-622-6221

I was at Seabra's Armory in South Amboy for one of the Dangerous Dining Club events, and the rodizio was quite nice.

Seabra's Mediterranean Manor on Jefferson Street is where we always go. It was also the site of the first NJ eGullet dinner event.

Really, if its one of the 5000 or so places called "Seabra's" chances are it has something to do with rodizio.

There ARE a # of places owned by the Seabra family, but I have to say that I was NOT impressed by the one on the corner of McCarter Hwy (Rt 21) and Bridge Street (just diagonal from the Newark Bears stadium); you're likely better off going to one that's in the Ironbound! Just my $.02...

A lot of Brazilians like Brasilia, as do I. I prefer it to Mediterranean Manor (sorry, Jason and Rachel). There's also a Brasilia Grill, which has parking, but isn't quite as good, I thought.

I also thought that Churrascaria Boi na Brasa 70 Adams St, (Mall dos Brasileiros) was pretty good.

Of course, Churrascaria Plataforma in NYC is really good, but expensive (and not in NJ).

Enjoy!

Don't say sorry, we'll have to try Brasilia some time.

[Jason Perlow]

Jonathan, can you provide us with an address for Brasilia?

Sure 132 Ferry St, on the second floor. It's not fancy, but the meats are pretty good.

Parking on the street around there is pretty difficult, of course. However, there's a new-ish parking garage over towards Casa Vasca, on the street parallel to Ferry.

Btw, there's a list of churrascarias (and other Brazilian businesses) at:

Bom apetite

jsibley--Where else have you been eating lately? You usually find some great places.

Ah. See, this is another reason why we like Mediterranean Manor, your're pretty much guaranteed to get parking if you park in the shopping center across the street or in the Manor's parking lot.

Does Brasilia do lunch?

I am a huge fan of Iberia, and have had their Rodizo on many occasions, and find it excellent every time. I would agree if you are adverse to salt to stay away, but otherwise top notch.

I consider myself to be a fairly big eater, but I can barely get through one round. The turkey wrapped in bacon is heavenly!

Iberia is also an experience - a great place to go with friends or family. There are 2 of them, across the street from each other, I think the one on the left (the standalone one) has better atmosphere, but the food is equal at both.

Welocme to eGullet jjharper. Let us know where else you like to dine.
