The 9 Best Brazilian Restaurants In London - London - The Infatuation

"Grab one of Filó Dining’s outdoor tables in the late afternoon sunshine, order a caipirinha or a pint, and you could almost be forgiven for thinking you’re at a bohemian São Paulo bar, not in Islington. Inside it’s a pub-cum-restaurant and exudes fun, with colourful murals and Brazilian flags adorning the walls. Portions are generous and dishes feature Brazilian classics with modern twists. Pork ribs are rubbed in molasses atop moreish creamy cassava. Minas cheese, which chef Aline Quina makes herself, is salty, squeaky, and drizzled with truffle honey. A “ceviche” of palm hearts, mango, and avocado is a rare good vegan dish at a Brazilian restaurant. The star is feijoada—rich, creamy, with all the trimmings. Go when there’s live music and you’ll probably stay, snacking until closing time." - tome morrissy swan
