"Perhaps due to the lack of a large Brazilian community in London, there’s unfortunately a dearth of representative food and cultural experiences in the city. But Boteca has done a good job of promoting Brazilian culture, given the amount of Portuguese spoken inside and on the menu. The menu is a deep dive into the diversity of Brazil, from its tapas dishes of plantain, salt fish and meat pastries to mains dominated feijoada, the slow cooked mixed pork and black beans stew, chargrilled chicken, and choice cuts of beef usually served with cassava chips, rice, beans and salad. With a sweet icy caipirinha in hand the dance floor opens up on selected nights of week. Sunday is a guaranteed boogie night that gives Londoners the rare chance to indulge in samba, bossa nova, and baião, as well as funk and Latin jazz." - Riaz Phillips
