These days it's rare for me to see a restaurant in the city that impresses me as much as Baby Brasa did. Phenomenal food, service and ambiance. The waiters were extremely attentive and went above and beyond to make my nieces birthday celebration special. They even surprised us with a candlelit tres leches dessert (without me needing to mention anything)! Outstanding on all levels. Highly recommend.

I came here for my birthday with family and it was great, food to vibes to service. Beautiful restaurant from entrance to bathroom. We had pisco sours, empanadas, ceviche, paella, steak, and arroz con pollo. The ceviche was fresh, bright, and balanced with the sweet potatoes and pickled onions. The mains were generous portions and tasted excellent.

Came across this place on a Sunday. Didn't have a reservation but host was able to squeeze us in after a little bit of a wait. Took some time before someone came to take our order.. he did apologize for the wait because other tables kept holding him up. They were complaining about the food which we overheard and I agree because it wasn't that great. Lacked a lot of flavor and dry for the most part just bland for the price

Very cute and cozy restaurant.Food was mixed.Steak and eggs are just wonderful when avocado toast is a big disappointment.Avocado was not fresh, although tuna tartar tasty and mouth watering.Grilled octopus-can't miss.Perfect reasoned and cooked to perfection with just the right amount of sauce.Saviche was very nice as well.Unlimited mimosas were very limited since our server was never around
bad service for the only 3 tables, expensive food and little portion.. they even said bye to you cuz the staff were so busy in a small meeting at corner of the bar..:/

Baby Brasa is just as good as it looks, and way better than the average review suggests. The ceviche was wonderful. The clubby vibe with loud music didn't mesh well with my mood the night that I dined here.

Food was great. We got the arepas, octopus, tostada and ceviche. It was just a bit expensive for the portion sizes which were small.

Surprisingly this place was completely empty for happy hour and it was amazing. Didn’t have to wait long for food, drinks anything. It gave such a calming and intimate experience.The appetizers for happy hour were so refreshing. The food was made fresh and the flavors blended well together. They weren’t filling but just a refreshing bite in every bite. The margaritas were delicious. My go to is always a passionfruit margarita and at the end the gentlemen recommended the coconut one and to be fair I don’t like anything coconut. However, the coconut margarita really took me by surprise it was absolutely delicious.A few things that I was constantly thinking about is the draft of the windows by the booth area. I expected it to be some type of heat in the restaurant, it was really cold no matter what. Being that there was no one there at the beginning I felt kind of rushed to start eating dinner when we were just enjoying the ambiance, drinking and still getting through the appetizers. I appreciated the consistent check-in but not feeling a bit rushed to get on with dinner. Also their rolls could be a bit bigger. They felt very small for Sushi roll.I definitely recommend this location as everything I had was delicious. I will definitely be coming back.
Was amazing 6 years ago but lost a lot of quality and heart. Staff is professional but superficial and does not connect and is not authentic.

Such a cute vibe inside. The food was very flavorful, and it’s nice to have a trendy place that’s not Italian or American. Those Latin flavors are delish. The staff couldn’t have been nicer.Dietary restrictions: Lots of GF options
Baby Brasa has been on my list to try for a while as I feel Peruvian food is totally underrated. The intimate space is cozy and well decorated in earthy greens and warm wood tones. The music had a mello club vibe that completes the hip ambiance. If you have never been to Peru you might not understand how delicious a Pisco sour is and how well it pairs with the food. Their's is totally on point right down the the frothy top. We tried several ceviche's that were all super fresh and delicious. The salmon crispy rice was outrageously good as were the tuna tostadas. The warm friendly servers were incredibly attentive and the service in general was outstanding. If you love healthy and fresh food this is your place. I will definitely be back!

Nestled in the heart of the West Village, Baby Brasa offers a vibrant fusion of Peruvian and international flavors, making it a gem for food lovers. The inviting atmosphere, adorned with warm lighting and botanical touches, sets the stage for a truly enjoyable experience, whether it's a romantic evening or a special celebration.Each dish is packed with flavor and plated beautifully. They've also got a huge selection of drinks that are so delicious!! We definitely recommend their Lavender Martini, Baby Brasa Martini and their Red Sangria. What we ordered: LOMO SALTADO: Marinated sirloin steak chunks, red onion, cherry tomatoes, scallions, cilantro & french fries served with jasmine rice. CREAMY SEAFOOD PAELLA: Braised shrimp & octopus in Peruvian peppers, avocado, nikkei pico de gallo served in a hot cast iron skillet. STEAK FRITES: Marinated skirt steak, house-made chimichurri served with french fries and lemon butter asparagus. ARROZ CON POLLO GF: Grilled chicken thigh, served with cilantro rice, huancaina potatoes (served at room temp), and salsa criolla. AJI DE GALLINA GF: Succulent shredded chicken breast covered in yellow pepper and parmesan cheese cream, served with jasmine rice and andean potatoes. A great place for a birthday or hanging out with friends, Baby Brasa in NYC promises amazing food, tasty cocktails, and fantastic service. We highly recommend it!
