Where Brazil meets Portugal at the table

Restaurant focused on Brazilian and Portuguese cuisine by Chef Willian Silva.

Originally from Brazil, Chef Willian Silva, since arriving in Jersey City in 2019, has continually evolved his cuisine and expanded his reach into Portuguese cuisine. His authentic cuisine has already earned him many accolades, but his inspiration continues to be based on the rhythm of the seasons. The classic appeal he brings to soulful dishes rooted in Portuguese-Brazilian tradition remains. A mix of fan favorites and seasonal dishes for the perfect celebratory feast.

Furthermore, Capoeira is a family restaurant, which values diversity and offers a welcoming and humanized environment. Come to satisfy your "saudade" — or try this affectionate cuisine.
