Dropped by here for lunch. Coxinha and chicken skewers were absolutely delicious and very well priced. Would absolutely recommend. Everything is freshly made and the owner is very friendly
Love the street food vibe! Reminds me of back home! Giovanni & Igor are super friendly and explain all the dishes! The best part is the dessert, the creme caramel!!! The balance between the sweet and slight bitterness of the caramel is out of this world!!
Amazing skewers, insanely tasty. Probably best food I’ve had in London. Don’t forget a Guaraná drink - sweet apple delight
As we entered Brixton Village searching for something to eat, we were overwhelmed by the great smells and numerous restaurant options. While struggling to decide, I spotted the Brazilian flag on the Cantinho Miniero sign and wanted to try more Brazilian food which I'd not had since 2013. We were only after something quick and light, but we entered a Brazilian quick-eat adventure. Before looking at the menu, I saw coxinha, something I’d always wanted to try, so we quickly ordered them. We decided on a small platter containing little Coxinhas, Risoles, and another snack. It was also suggested to try Pão de Queijo, a cheese-filled baked good, all washed down with Guaraná Antarctica for a real Brazilian experience. The food was very nice, especially the extra Coxinha, which had a tasty chicken filling and soft yet firm dough covered in breadcrumbs. The Pão de Queijos were almost gold coloured, almost matching the melted cheese inside. To add to the flavors, we had condiments of Aioli and chili oil. I tried everything on its own first, then added Aioli, chili oil, and both together. So good. 😊 I never thought I’d have such a great time just eating snack food, but this was enhanced by the great service. The friendly guy who served us had a great conversation about the food we ordered and the other main meals on the buffet, like Feijoada, which I’d love to return to try. He was proud of his country and its culture. Upon leaving, we were given an unexpected surprise, a sweet called Brigadeiros, which is the size of a golf ball containing cocoa, condensed milk, and butter, surrounded by chocolate sprinkles. This little dessert was one of the nicest sweets I’ve ever eaten, with a gooey and delicious center. If you want Brazilian food reminiscent of home-cooked meals, do swing by. I’ll definitely be back to sample the buffet next time, as I now have a thing for Brazil and its culture, wanting more of the food! 🇧🇷😃💜
Really friendly owner and staff - very accommodating! Delicious food. We just had the snacks which were great.
