Housed inside a converted church with high ceilings and stunning stained glass windows, Batuqui is designed to feel like a community gathering place, and it gets more and more rowdy as the night goes on. Rich Brazilian stews are built for the center of the table, like the moqueca baiana, which tastes so fresh and coconutty that it’s almost hard to believe you can order it someplace so far from the coasts. Sides like one-bite pão de queijo and juicy bananas fritas encourage passing plates instead of guarding your own, too. But the ultimate shareable menu item is pitchers of traditional Brazilian caipirinha, muddled with fresh lime.
