"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."
London's Brazilian food scene includes a wide range of venues, from traditional botecos to steakhouses and street-food specialists offering pão de queijo. Kilburn's Kaipiras by Barraco recreates a boteco atmosphere, serving beer and bites such as cassava fries, acarajé and a beef rib stew, with starters up to £10 and mains £15–£20. Fine Cut Steakhouse in Elephant & Castle offers lively steak-focused dining. Filó Brazil, led by former MasterChef contestant Aline Quina, provides another notable option. The scene emphasises vibrant, varied flavours and accessible price points across a twenty-restaurant selection in the capital.
