Cambridge Hotels – Inman Square’s Muqueca Restaurant is a true slice of Brazil right here in Cambridge. Owners Fafa and Antonio Gomes feature native dishes from their home state of Espirito Santo located north of Rio on Brazil's central coast. The small, cozy lime-green restaurant is famous for their moqueca’s – delicious seafood stews of shrimp, white fish, or muscles seasoned with an aromatic mix of olive oil, tomato, onion, annatto, and cilantro. The flavorful stews are slow-cooked in handmade pots from Brazil that draw out the juices of the ingredients, and are served with cassava porridge (pirao) and rice. Other favorites include Cod Capixaba, salt cod with hard boiled eggs, plantain and coconut milk; and a seafood pie made with cod, shrimp, crab meat, mussels and olives. Meat eaters will love the Picanha, grilled prime sirloin steak served with a zesty sauce of fried cornmeal, bacon and vinaigrette. Wash the meal down with one of their natural juices of exotic fruits from the Amazon Rain Forest like the manga azul, a savory mixture of blueberry, mango & passion fruit. If you want to experience Brazil without leaving Cambridge, Muqueca is the place for you.
