Best of Boston

2006 Best Brazilian Restaurant

Muqueca

The fact that every Boston Brazilian joint has earned its fame doling out all-you-can-eat portions of meat left us wondering: How do those girls in Rio look so hot in their thongs? Then we discovered Muqueca, where even our most carnivorous friends fell for the single servings of spicy dishes, including the traditional seafood stew for which the restaurant is named. It’s so good we guarantee you’ll bring back your very lean booty for more.
