    Filet mignon Sandwich Bauru

    Had the best lunch at Beco. Place is elite. Service was top notch. Delicious steak sandwich. Will 100% be back!

    Beco Restaurant in Brooklyn

    I'm sure I've had Brazilian food at some place or time in my life, but I just can't remember? Maybe it was in some fusion restaurant or some restaurant that blended this cuisine with a certain area of South America, but either way, I sure had Brazilian food today at this lovely restaurant called Beco (Brazilian Portuguese for alley). Beco was the "Real Deal" experience with this fantastic cuisine. Everything on the menu was strange, different but exciting which made this all the more interesting. The three of us diners jumped into their menu and we let the chips fall where they may! And those chips landed in a very good place: * The Pao De Queijo was a traditional Brazilian cheese bread with a sweet dipping sauce * Auru is a popular Brazilian sandwich. This sandwich had cheese melted in a bain-marie, slices of roast beef, tomato and pickled cucumber * Their Açaí Bowl was this very healthy serving of cold sliced banana, strawberries,blueberries & house granola. It was refreshing and delicious. Beco's service and ambience was great which made this lunch fun and exhilarating. We all loved Beco in Brooklyn today!

    I've been listening to a lot of Cartola lately, which ended up serving as the perfect appetizer to dinner at what I firmly believe is the best Brazilian restaurant in the city, located on a somewhat desolate street of Northeast Williamsburg. Start with the pao de quiejo: an easy choice sure, and here served piping hot with a perfectly subtle guava jam that straddles the line between sweet and savory. For a main, the vegetarian moqueca expertly deploys hearts of palm to create a seafoody texture. The best part of the platter? Not the excellent coconut stew, but the piquant pickled peppers and farofa that elevate any platter here to the next level.

    My world's best Brazilian filet mignon sandwich!!

    AMAZEBALLS! When I eat, I'm not one to make "mmmm" or "uugghhhh" or whatever sounds when something is good. The filet mignon sandwich with chimichurri was so unbelievably delicious my soul left my body and the body left behind would stop making all sorts of embarrassing sounds of deliciousness at each bite. For real, this sandwich was absolutely amazing. I can't believe I almost went out to get a cheesesteak tonight!

    Cute little Brazilian spot that makes you feel right at home. Everything felt just right at this place. I had the coxihna and a cocktail, and everything was authentic and tasted incredible. The service was fast; my waitress was very nice and attentive. The restaurant was cute and chic, but I chose to enjoy the patio. 10/10, I would go out of my way to come back.

    Wow!! Such an amazing gem tucked away in a little corner in Williamsburg! I've eaten a lot of Brazilian food growing up and this is such a great authentic place you've gotta try. The food was super fresh, honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The cheese bread is made to order which means it comes out hot and fresh every time! Everyone who works here is so so sweet and very helpful, seriously some of the best service I've had in a while. The restaurant feels so authentic and homey and just overall such a great time. Please give this spot a go! Brazilian food is one of my all time favs!!

    Authentic in every sense of the word. Wouldn't have noticed this little gem if it wasn't for a friend that lived in the area. Cheese bread is a must. Almost like a mochi texture. The guava jam they give you is nice. Can't pass up an acai bowl when you're dining at a Brazilian restaurant. Empanadas are huge, crispy and very tasty. Steak and eggs cooked perfectly. Rice and beans were flavorful. Place can be packed but all full of local Brazilians so you know it must be good.

    Came here with some friends for a weekend brunch without much expectation. We had the option to sit inside or outside, so we opted for the outside seating because it was a little bit quieter. The service was okay, our waiter kept our water filled. The food was a little lackluster, considering for the price. The frozen drink was 15 bucks and it came in a tiny little cup. I don't think there was any booze in it tbh, so I would skip this... For the entree, I ordered the Bife a Cavalo. The steak was kind of bland; I thought the chimichurri was going to help it but even that was lacking in flavor. The food wasn't bad, but for 25 dollars for the dish... I really expected more. But the waiter didn't rush us after we finished eating, so I appreciate that. Overall, I think this place has potential and it's a great place to catch up with friends but there are better options in Williamsburg

    Beco is a great spot. There is ample outdoor dining space and the food is really delicious. First time, I came for brunch and had a delectable version of Eggs Benedict (Eggs Florentine) The second time I was here, we split some empañadas and the Bauru sandwich. The empanadas were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. The bauru was served on the most beautifully aesthetic baguette and the steak was undoubtedly delectable. The staff is super friendly and attentive here and it is always a nice vibe dining on the sidewalk café. I look forward to returning here.

    Beco is delicious! I stopped by for lunch yesterday and we had the best caipirinhas (one was regular lime and the other was pineapple mint) - only note is that they could serve these in larger glasses, as mine was mainly ice. Their brunch menu was great though - has a mix of traditional Brazilian and American dishes. We got the coxhina (perfection with a little bit of their guava jam), eggs benny, and ham sandwich with eggs on top. Will definitely be back!

Downstairs, it's a lot tighter, with a DJ, dance floor, lounge seating area, and a much more packed and busy atmosphere on the weekends. I like ping ponging between both vibes when I'm with friends. Admittedly I've found the music both times to be too experimental for me. Confessing that makes me feel like an old person shaking my fist or at least shaking my head, misunderstanding what makes the youth tick. But I had no trouble twirling around the dance floor to this weird experimental music after throwing back a few tequila sodas upstairs. A few times while here my friends have split up into the group that wants to go downstairs to dance and the group that wants to stay upstairs and chill. It's relatively easy to navigate between both vibes, which I enjoy about this spot very much.

We landed at the Water Tower and walked into a fairly empty space decorated with art all the way to the ceiling, filled with natural light coming in and the views of the skyline were out of this world. We had to try their drinks of course to enjoy with the incredible view. Though the drinks are $21 and served in a plastic cup that evening, I was NOT expecting my drink to be this insanely delicious. I ordered the inferno Paloma which they infuse themselves with- and it was true perfection. By the way, each bar has their own menu which is pretty awesome and makes it even more fun. Also, Axel is the most incredible bartender and we absolutely loved his creations. Later that night we ordered a custom mandarin margarita, with a spicy twist, and WOW. He's truly talented and absolutely made us some awesome drinks that we can't stop talking about. Sunset with a view and a spicy mezcal drink? Yes and YES. We had this place all to ourselves and can't wait to be back. Friday nights they have DJ nights and you can also book the Water Tower for your own private events which is pretty cool!

That was until I was halfway through beer three. It all got dark. I mean it literally got dark. A waitress began pulling down all the blinds, taking away the sun haven I had found myself loving. Taking away the joy I had worked so hard to achieve. That is when I knew that that beer would be my last. I did not come to a bar with a wall of windows to end up in a place darker than the Rikers Island cells mere miles away. So I ask this one question to the waitress, why? Why ruin the joy of light? Why ruin it?

It is too bad Yelp doesn't allow half stars as I would honestly put this one at a 3.5 and am rounding up. While the quality of the elevated seafood bites is immaculate, they are just that: a bite or two of food, for an elevated price considering the amount of food you get. After spending $76 a person, we were still hungry, whereas that amount would have been enough to feed two average women at another good restaurant. But if you go with an expense account or trust fund baby, definitely get the scallops and the yellowtail pastrami because those two items will blow your mind. Our waitress pointed these two out to us and we're grateful for her guidance because it was spot on. Paying for bread at a Solomonov joint is odd. No dessert menu is odder. Wheelchair access details: The bar is on a terrace. The accessible entrance is through the Hoxton hotel. A staff member will take you through the k'far kitchen and up via a service elevator. No barriers once you are upstairs and plenty of accessible outdoor and indoor/outdoor options, including a small length of wheelchair height bar.
