Brazilian Restaurants in London

Rooftop (1)

If you’re craving proper Brazilian bites in London, you’re in luck. The city quietly packs in some solid options beyond the usual tourist trail. You’ll find everything from churrascarias serving up sizzling meat skewers, to more casual spots offering pastel and coxinha on a quick lunchtime run. And no, not all Brazilian spots are tucked away in Soho or Shoreditch,check out places in Brixton or Camden if you want to dodge the crowds.

My personal favorite for a Brazilian evening is Bar da Baiana near Borough Market. Their feijoada, especially in winter, hits the spot like nothing else. Pro tip: ask for the house caipirinha with extra lime; it’s just right after a plate of picanha. Also, don’t miss the tiny pastel stalls popping up at various street food markets in the summer,great if you just want a quick snack on the go.

One thing to watch out for is the size of portions. Some pubs and cafes serve up huge plates, which is brilliant if you’re starving, but might leave you regretting ordering side dishes too. Overall, Brazilian food in London is the kind of place where the atmosphere is as warm as the food, so pace yourself and enjoy the mix of familiar and surprising flavours.

A quick heads-up

If you’re hitting up Brazilian restaurants in London for the first time, try to go at less busy times. Evening weekends can get really packed, especially in tourist-heavy areas like Soho. Borough Market’s Brazilian joints are great on weekday evenings.

Also, if you’re after a more authentic vibe, look beyond big chains and check out smaller places around Brixton and Peckham. The food there tends to be closer to what folks actually eat back in Brazil, without going overboard on fusion. And don’t forget to bring a bit of cash for tips or smaller street vendors,London isn’t always card-friendly in these spots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Brazilian food spots in London? Let’s clear them up.

If you want proper Brazilian churrasco, head to Barbacoa in Soho. It’s not exactly a hole in the wall, but the meat is smoky and tender, just like down in Brazil. They carve it straight from skewers at your table, which feels pretty special.

Yes, a few do. Places like Fazenda in the City have veggie-friendly dishes, but if you’re after something genuinely Brazilian and vegetarian, your best bet is smaller cafés, like those around Borough Market, that offer bean-based stews and fresh salads. It’s not always obvious on the menu, but it’s there.

Actually, yes. During warmer months, street food markets in places like Southbank and Camden pop up with Brazilian stalls selling things like pastel and tapioca pancakes. Perfect for a quick snack, but not every stall is consistent, so ask locals or read recent reviews before you commit.

Definitely. Brigadeiros and beijinhos (those little coconut treats) are surprisingly easy to find, especially in specialist bakeries around Peckham or at Latin American markets. Don’t sleep on quindim, either , it’s a bit rare but worth the hunt if you like coconut custard!

Most places do some version of caipirinha, the classic lime cocktail with cachaça. Some spots also serve up fresh fruit juices and batidas. If you want to try something less known, ask if they have guaraná soda – it’s a sweet, fizzy staple back home.

It varies, but many sit in the mid-range category, especially churrascarias with all-you-can-eat options. Casual cafés and street food stalls are much cheaper. It’s easy to find a tasty, filling meal without spending a fortune,just avoid the super touristy spots in central London.
