    This is a very rare vegan recommendation for a Brazilian restaurant, but the Brazil-loving carnivorous friend I met for dinner at Rice x Beans was equally pleased. It was such a treat to enjoy a delicious, well balanced, and attractive meal without feeling like it was slapped together as a second tier consideration. The rice and beans are, in fact, delicious as were all the vegetables that came with them. Service was attentive and fast. A delightful evening altogether!
