Copacabana — Restaurant in New York

This is a hidden gem I discovered on Tik Tok; it’s quickly become one of my favorite self service buffets in the city! I've always passed by, but now that I'm focusing more on my health, it’s definitely my go-to stop. They have an array of healthy yet filling options. I love the idea of trying new dishes since they always seem to cater to adventurous foodies like myself. My only concern, though, is the lack of labels for the food being served each day. I’m hoping they might introduce some kind of labeling system, because I do want to make some of the food I tried at home and it could really assist those with dietary restrictions, like lactose intolerance. The steak tends to get a little dry if you don't get it just cooked but I’m looking forward to the next time I go; I know I’ll be spending about the same amount I would for two McDonald's meals for one plate but I always leave feeling satisfied knowing I've made a healthier choice.

My first trip here, after multiple recommendations from different people. Brazilian cuisine, buffet style, by weight. Modest, very clean and orderly cafeteria style. Posted signs clearly state time limit of 30 minutes for dining in.

My first trip here and I was quite pleased, except they didn't have feijoada. I had come mid-week; I was told previously they only serve feijoada on Sundays. Best to call to confirm ahead of time when they serve it. I soothed my dismay with a generous ladle from the large bowl of farina over my...

This is my second time ordering the chicken stroganoff and plantains for lunch at my job. Trust me, this is so good, and the portion size is enough for 3 to 4 meals. Im fixing my 2nd plate for dinner as I write this review. The chicken, rice, and string beans are not filled to the top of the containers because I had eaten some for lunch at work My first previous order besides the chicken was with the kale salad, which was good as well. I switched up this time and ordered the string beans salad, and it's a definite can't miss. The plantains were a sweet and tasty addition to the meal. Thus, the place is a must try, and I am looking forward to trying more items...
