Brazil is well regarded as one of the world’s most exciting countries to visit – but its cuisine, which is as vibrant and varied as the nation itself, has managed to fly below the radar in the UK. We say: no more! Time Out has just launched its inaugural list of the city’s top Brazilian restaurants – from steakhouses to where to get the legendary cheese rolls (pão de queijo).
Leading the pack and ranking top of the 20-strong list of restaurants was Kaipiras by Barraco, a traditional boteco (a small bar serving cold beer and bites to go with it) in Kilburn.
‘Kaipiras is the closest facsimile [to a boteco] in London,’ wrote Tomé Morrissy-Swan, the author of our Brazilian restaurants guide. ‘Close your eyes and imagine you’re on sunny Ipanema beach rather than an unremarkable thoroughfare off the Kilburn High Road.’
Morrissy-Swan recommended drinking an Antarctica beer at the Kilburn eatery while munching on cassava fries, acarajé (Bahian black eyed pea fritters stuffed with a coconut and prawn paste) and the show-stipping beef rib stew. A meal at Kaipiras won’t break the bank, with starters costing up to £10 and mains ranging between £15-£20.
In second place was Fine Cut Steakhouse, a lively place to chow down on meat in Elephant & Castle; Filó Brazil, run by former MasterChef contestant Aline Quina, came in third.
For more brilliant Brazilian food in London, these are the capital’s best Brazilian restaurants.
