Baby Brasa - New York

Vegan options in each part of the menu and they are delicious

The restaurant locates at a great location in West Village and with amazing visibility. The restaurant design was like a piece of art. For the food part, we loved the taste of each dish. Especially, we love the cocktails. Coconut Margarita is the one youdon?t want to miss. Personally, I love Seafood Bura Bura a lot. People working in the restaurant were having dress code, whichwas very impressive. If you are gonna have a date set up, this would be a great choice.

Baby Brasa has a very enticing vibe from the very outside. To be seated outdoors is a privilege as two of my friends, my boyfriend and I were seated inside on the first floor. We had a multiple servers and hosts come by to check on us and take ourdrink and food orders. Fun fact: they serve roasted corn nuts! They also offer pre-fixe menu options where you can order anappetizer, a main and a side or a dessert, depending on which selection you choose. I had ordered the sangria alongside 2coconut margaritas and a the flamingo frose drink. We also tried their espresso martinis, which they were able to make withtequila upon request! We ordered the empanadas and crispy rock shrimp to start. The empanadas were amazinggg, but tiny. It wasaesthetically cute and ?too pretty to eat? and could?ve been a bit larger in size in my personal opinion. Sue me, I loveempanadas. The crispy rock shrimp was as good as crispy rock shrimp can get. I ordered the Aji de Gallina. It was very yummyand not what I expected visually. The flavors were certainly present and the texture was surprising. I am not a texture personso I found this paired with the rice to be a great combination! The Lomo Saltado my boyfriend ordered was mediocre the steakwas cut into thick, chunky cubes and not in strips. But each place has their own style which I understand. It also wasn?t veryflavorful. Flavor could have been more amped up. We had told the a waiter, but nothing was done about it. ?? Overall 7.8/10?? The experience was fun, however over the course of the dinner you could tell the hosts and waiters were lacking the sameattentiveness they showed strongly in the beginning.

What a delightful experience! Overall, Baby Brasa is definitely worth a visit for the pure range of flavors available on the menu and the thoughtful atmosphere/service. The indoor ambiance is trendy but welcoming, with greenery and comfy seatingthroughout the space. The outdoor seating is also beautiful (and abundant! with pink flowers adorning everything. Our waitress,Mariana, was attentive and kind throughout the meal, offering great recommendations. Corn nuts were brought to our table whilewe looked at the menu, and it was nice to have something to munch on right away. The cucumber lemonade was surprisinglycucumber forward, but balanced enough with the tartness of the lemonade so it wasn?t overwhelming. The appetizers we chose weredefinitely the highlight of our meal the tuna tostada is flame charred at your table, giving it a smoky flavor, and the babyarepas have the perfect punch of flavors in a little bite sized dish. The classic ceviche is tangy and fresh; if you lovecilantro and onions, you will love this dish. The Lomo Saltado and Amazon Fried Rice both held their own as well, with reallygenerous portion sizes. We topped off our meal with the lava cookie dessert which was super chocolatey and an amazing way tofinish our meal!

We went to Baby Brasa on our anniversary to try their current Peruvian menu and it was fantastic! We sat in the outdoor area, which is very nicely decorated with flowers everywhere. The outdoor seating is huge and had a very lively atmosphere. We drankthree cocktails, the pink flamingo, the Negroni, and a Pisco sour. The Pisco sour in particular was delicious, highlyrecommend! We had the lomo saltado (which is a very traditional Peruvian dish) and the pasta huancaina (which seems like therestaurants spin on traditional dish). Both were delicious! We also had the fried Yucca and for dessert tres leches cake, whichwas amazing! I would definitely go back to try more of the menu! Overall very cute place with a great atmosphere and very tastyfood.
