Wood Spoon has been in the Fashion District for almost six years now, but we never get tired of our favorite Brazilian spot. Chef/owner Natalia Pereira serves authentic street-style dishes from her native Brazil, made to order, meaning she doesn't start cooking until you tell her what you want to eat. Talk about fresh!
Wood Spoon offers a variety of appetizers and side dishes. House favorites include "Coxinha", beignets filled with shredded chicken and served with a spicy mayonnaise sauce, and the "Pastel Portuguese", dumplings stuffed with shrimp, coconut sauce, and Kibe made with bulgar wheat, mint, and ground beef. There's also Brazilian sausage and our personal favorite side dish - yam fries.
On the menu you'll find a variety of grilled plates with your choice of meet or veggies and a selection of sandwiches, salads, and paninis, but the absolute must-try is their famous "Brazilian Chicken Pot Pie". Their staple dish definitely won us over. Delish!
Also popular on the menu is the "Pork Burger" with roasted cabbage and onion, served on potato bread. It really is as big as it looks. Check out their full menu here.
