Where to Find the Flavour of Brazil in London

For those missing home or Londoners eager to discover Brazil, here are my recommendations for where to eat. One of my favourite spots is Frigideira, a restaurant famous for its feijoada, picanha, and coxinha. Just around the corner, D’Broa Café serves comforting Brazilian snacks and juices, while Açaí Carioca in the same street brings the taste of Rio’s beaches to London.
