Muqueca Restaurant

Muqueca brings Brazilian seafood cooking to Cambridge Street, with clay-pot stews at the center of the meal. Start with its namesake moqueca capixaba, a fish stew made with cilantro, tomato, onion and olive oil. If you prefer something creamier, bobó de camarão combines shrimp with yucca and coconut milk. Seafood rice casserole offers another way into the menu, while feijoada gives anyone skipping fish a Brazilian bean-and-meat dish to consider. The appeal is a sit-down meal built around these substantial dishes, rather than a quick snack between errands. Come with an appetite and choose the preparation that sounds good to you: tomato and herbs, creamy yucca, or seafood cooked into rice.
