The Grill From Ipanema is the only authentic Brazilian restaurant in town. This restaurant takes pride in its hospitality and is committed to offering the best culinary experience so that one can truly taste traditional Brazilian cookery with different flavors and from different regions in Brazil. The inspiration of the menu is a reflection of the people, different cultures, and flavors within Brazil. Try our "Moqueca Mista a Baiana" style, it is a mixed seafood stew of fish, shrimp, mussels, squid, clams and scallops is prepared in a blend of palm oil and coconut milk with fresh cilantro, tomato, onion, scallions and green pepper (Please indicate how spicy) served in a clay pot with rice and fish broth, and a yucca purée on the side.

    the food was delicious, unique, good staff, found parking a couple of blocks away. Would recommend this for anyone looking for a unique experience. One thing to note, sometimes the staff clears the table when there is still food on the plate and they neglect to ask you if you are done-which they should do.

    The “churrasco misto” is a joke, don’t waste your time with this place.

    Had not been here in years and remembered why it’s a favorite. Great cocktails and food. Finally a restaurant that’s full but not too loud to hear a conversation

    This was a gem. The food was excellent and the service was very good. A very well run family restaurant that provides a Brazilian dining experience that isn’t a carbon copy of Fogo de Chao. Unique, delicious, tasteful, large portions and an excellent value and is also easy on your wallet. We will visit again on our next visit to Washington D.C.
