“We had the best food in Brazil at this smart new restaurant. We had mussels in a fantastic coconut sauce and oxtail croquettes that were extraordinary. Followed by a pork steak cooked on a charcoal grill and prawn raviolis with whole prawns and delicious source. Great wine list and service. Highly recommended.”
