A couple of new restaurants have opened in Roslindale over the past two weeks. Neither is a chic Italian bistro, so we had to check them out.

Boston Chomps recommends Muqueca in Inman Square for Brazilian seafood stew:

... My favorite however, was the cod capixaba. It's made from salt cod, and stewed in coconut milk. The stew also includes plantains, olives, and boiled eggs. A strange combination but DELICIOUS. It tasted even better after adding the hot sauce served at every table. ...

Not up for Brazilian seafood? What about Brazilian meat meat meat. Bill Ives savors the Cafe Belo in Somerville, one of a whole chain of Brazilian meat joints.

Of course, local eaters are supping on more than just Brazilian fare:

Bridey says this new restaurant has good food, but the service could use some work.

Boston Chomps on Petit Robert Bistro downtown: We'll definitely be back.

Lyss on Zocalo in Brighton: What a pleasant first experience at a restaurant.

Lewis Forman on Kashmir on Newbury Street: I have never seen a grumpier group of servers ever. Except at McDonalds.

Yoav Shapira on Om in Cambridge: The bar drinks were amazing.

Eat and Destroy raves about the burgers and other food at Zon's on Perkins Street:

... I always complain that the majority of nice (i.e., not cheap) restaurants in Jamaica Plain have inferior quality food for the price than can be found elsewhere in Boston, but Zon's is definitely an exception and I am looking forward to eating there again soon.
