Made in Brasil

Inverness street is not far from the station but easy to miss; nothing too interesting going on apart from a collection of stalls selling typical Camden tat. But if you spot the restaurant do come in and order a caipirinha. :)
The décor is quite interesting, with some elements of brazilian northern culture. I usually prefer to visit for lunch, as I’ve heard it can get quite busy by night. I take the table at the back, next to the big window from which light floods in. Apparently they have a large variety of cachaça (brazilian spirit) and maybe one day I’ll give it a go. For now I usually get hold of a caipirinha to start with; and if you want to have the real experience (not the best caipirinha I’ve ever tasted but good enough) go for the classic. The «fruity» ones are much weaker, maybe tailored for people who like sweet drinks but not particularly enjoy the taste of alcohol.
I start with a selection of small plates — petiscos, not «brazilian tapas» as the word means something else entirely in brazilian portuguese. They are quite filling and good for share; my faves are the cassava chips (crunchy and salty, yum), pork sausages with onion (they’re not quite the same as english sausages and are truly delicious; can be a bit «fatty» if you’re from the healthy eating weaklings brigade, so have it in mind), the coxinha (yummy chicken pastries in typical brazilian dough) and the salt cod cakes. It’s better and cheaper to order three from the «petiscos deal» (12−8pm) than the snack platter, in my opinion.
For mains I tend to be boring and order the feijoada, as their version is quite acceptable. Not very rich and you won’t get a bucket ful like you do in Brazil, but it’s enough to fill you up (especially if you had some petiscos) and the beans are quite yummy. They could definitely up their game with the farofa, though, as it is quite basic. If you’re a meat lover you’re in luck; the picanha is very good and so is the mixed BBQ (churrasco); the side of cassava chips that comes with it being a bonus.
I rarely order dessert at restaurants but find it hard to resist the brigadeiro, a brazilian chocolate truffle. I’m not even a chocolate fan, but add tons of condensed milk to *anything* and I’ll eat it. :) Brigadeiro is moist and creamy because of this, quite sweet and not bitter at all (again, 80% cocoa chocolate snobs best avoid). It’s only small and £2 worth of sweeteness to go with your cafezinho.
All in all a great lunch that sets you up for the rest of the day. Not cheap as chips but given London prices I think this place offers very good value. Service is friendly and never disappointed me. Never been in the evenings, but by lunch time it is never too full or too loud, making for a relaxing atmosphere where you can actually listen to the music and have a conversation while you enjoy your food and drinks.

Made In Brasil is one of those places I stumbled upon drunk when looking for more drinks and food, and just happened to really love! The food is good, the atmosphere is friendly and casual and the pricing is reasonable.
Firstly I’ll point out that it’s a good idea to get there before 8pm as the caipirinhas (of which the flavours are numerous — I highly recommend the chilli raspberry) are only £4.95 (usually around the £7.95 mark). And they are good caipirinhas. They also have a pre-​8pm tapas deal (3 tapas for £14.50 or 5 for £24.50). And it’s decent sized tapas.
I usually go for the same thing when I go to Made In Brasil, as I am a creature of habit — the Picanha Na Chapa. It’s a nice cap of rump steak (and I don’t usuall go for rump) served on a sizzling plate fajita style with chopped onions and tomato, servied with rice and salad. It’s a good meal for £14.55.
This time my friends went for the tapas and I had a smidgen of jealousy over the portion sizes and how good it all looked! I’ll be trying the vegetable and halloumi skewers on my next visit for sure! I usually get a bread basket, as I like the brown butter.
I like the décor in the restaurant, particularly downstairs as it has an outdoorsy feeling conservatory with a mural on the wall. It does get a little chilly but the staff are more than happy to put some heaters on for you!

I absolutely love the setting and the décor of this place, the paintings on the wall and the conservatory feel in the basement are great and give it a fun exotic vibe. There were lots of things I did really like about this place but there were quite a few that let it down for me a bit which is why I’ve only given 3 stars
So the good things — the cocktails were delicious, they have a lot of really interesting flavours including kiwi which was divine! They’re also only a fiver before 8pm. The tapas deal is £14.50 for 3 dishes before 8pm and the sausage was particularly delicious. The desserts were also really really tasty my friends got the brownie and the guava cheesecake and I obviously had a bite of both. Also recommend the lime mayo.
And sadly on to the bad. I was disappointed with the chicken as the way it was served I was definitely not expecting bones and there were a lot. We were sat in the basement which was actually really chilly. The waiter bless him did put on a heater when I asked but it didn’t do much to help sadly. The food also took quite a while to come which wasn’t an issue as such as we had time but I was ravenous and getting serious food envy of the table next to us!
I would like to try them again as some of the other food options did look great as well!

Nice vibe, boozy caipirinhas, food ok, a bit pricey, love the live music.
Went for a friend’s birthday dinner and was a really nice atmosphere — cozy, classy, fun, relaxed. Some bright décor pieces and fun music alongside dark/​warm colors of the interior make it at once popping and chill.
Food was ok – I had the risotto which was a bit bland, though the cheese was nice. The vegetable pot pie (without crust) tasted nice … and I heard the meats and seafood were all better. Real star of the foods: the fries! Yummmm (especially when you’ve had a few caipirinhas).
The classic caipirinha just tastes very boozy … unless you’re getting the free welcome drink (can get this from their website), would recommend any of their fruitier ones. Açai was a personal favorite!
Live music on the Friday night that we were there — so nice! Mostly Bossa, so great for chilling or dancing. Our group did both (though not too much room for dancing…).
Overall nice but also pricey, especially for the quality of the food…

Do not go for dinner. I should have turned around and left when my husband and I were ignored by the waitstaff after entering. But we were patient. We got a table and the night just seemed to drag and make a turn for the worse. The long wait for everything and the bad, overpriced food are just not worth it. You’ve been warned.
It took the waitress forever just to bring us water. My husband had to get up and remind her for it. The appetizer and the entrée especially took very long to come out and it wasn’t even good! The prawns were in an overly fatty, creamy sauce and the rice that came with it was hard — it tasted day old.
It was insulting to get the bill and see that the cheese bread appetizer was £5 — for 5 pieces! It was not worth it for the portion.
I will never return.

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised with Made in Brasil. I called in at about 9 o’clock mid week and managed to get the only table that was left and proceeded to check out the menu.
There was a pretty decent selection of meat, fish and veggie and I decided to plump for the Moqueca. This is mixed seafood and fish stew made with sweet peppers and coconut milk served with steamed rice & farofa (grated cassava crumbs) and really good value at only £12. The bowl was packed with king prawns, mussels, clams, calamari and some white fish and the broth was fantastic. In fact it was so nice that I ended ordering a bread basket just to eat more of it!
I also tried a little bit of the Bobo de camarao which was tiger prawns in a creamy sauce. That was ok but not in the same league as the first dish. There was a fairly general selection of beers including Brahma and Sagres.
This place deserves another visit and this time I’ll venture onto the meat side of the menu

I only came here for a few drinks with friend but it turned into a fantastic night out with a good old dance and the yummiest cocktails ever! One was chilli raspberry. This was cracking! I wouldn’t make one edit to it! It was reasonably priced and packed a punch. I would go back and this time for food! But if you go don’t get too carried away with the fun it was a nightmare to try get home…

Love to have a taste of real brazilian food for a change. Feels like mummys cooking. Must try everythig if you have not tried it before. Tapes are alot so just make sure you dont over ord like i did :) recommend to everyone.

Strolling around Camden on a very wet and chilly Wednesday afternoon, Made in Brazil was a very comforting retreat on a day when eating street food in the elements just wasn’t going to cut it.
Having my Brazilian boyfriend in tow also made this a no-​brainer, it may be miserable weather here but at least we can pretend we are somewhere far more tropical!
It was happy hour when we arrived so we both ordered a Brahma and perused the menu which features main meals and Brazilian tapas. We ordered pao de queijo to start, cheesy dough balls which I have previously made myself at home. Undoubtedly tasty, but the £4 price tag for six small balls was a little steep when I know I can make about 100 of said balls for the same price!
For main course we went for the sharing platter of picanha aperativo — rump steak with cassava chips, fried onions and salad garnish. The received the thumbs up from the native Brazilian, high praise indeed. He felt the flavours were spot on, only the quality of the cut could be improved in the restaurants back home. If this is a good example of Brazilian food, I can’t wait to get out there and try it for myself, although I will come back about three stone heavier!
The space was attractive and comfortable, with further seating space available downstairs. The staff were friendly and helpful, and not overbearing. Overall, a brilliant place to escape the craziness that is Camden.

Birthday dinner on a Saturday at 930. They have 2 sittings during the night. I thought there would be dancers but we didn’t see any downstairs. But great food and cocktails and great value for money. Service was good and my party of 15 had a great time. Booking was really easy and they made sure I had everything I needed without any trouble. Try it.

I had a wonderful time at Made In Brasil. I had friends visiting from NY and they were staying in the area so I chose this place for its proximity and its reviews. It did not disappoint. It was really easy to find, literally 2 mins away from the Camden tube station and right across the street from Camden Market. The happy hour caiprinhas were potent and flavorful and the waitstaff were great. I had the sea bass that came perfectly cooked and my girlfriends had the Feijoda (slow cooked pork) and the picanha na chapa (beef). We also ordered extra rice and black beans, which is more mexican fare but everything was simply delicious. I’d recommend to all of my friends and will definitely be going back there to try the other dishes namely the red meat that Brasil is so well known for.

One of my first dates with the Brazilian was to this cute restaurant, where I had my first Brazilian meal! They have great pestiscos (finger food) and a whole list of caipirinhas. The Brazilian says the feijoada is good and authentic, but not nearly as good as his mother’s (what would I know?) In any case, I love this restaurant for the ambience and the memories! Great first date location for any couple :)

Like this place. Gets busier here in the later part of the evening but has a great sophisticated vibe. Love to come here for happy hour from 4−8pm (M-​F) and Tuesday it’s all day long for drinks. Also tapas are 3 for 12.95– which I have personally tried the Pao de queijo (mini cheese breads), halloumi skewers, and Mandioca frita (cassava chips) and all were very good. Must try the caiprinha’s when you are here. My personal favorite is the pineapple caiprinha.

Very nice place in Camden… not so big but it’s an alternative to spend time with your friends drinking and eating!
I don’t know how Brasil is :D but it’s sure that I love caipirinha!
I went this summer twice, especially on Tuesday, ’cause there was happy hour all night long, from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. and all Caipirnhas only 4 £. I really loved Passion Fruit Caipirinha, but I’m sure I’ve tried three or four of them. don’t remember well. :D
Once I had dinner with friends and we ordered «Frutos do mar na chapa»… very very good!
If you are searching a different place, come here and you’ll have fun!

Made in Brasil became one random Tequila Tuesday stop one week as my friends and I found ourselves in the Camden area desperate for a good dinner and options for our tequila adventures. Though it wasn’t traditional, it certainly was an amazing experience.
— Beautiful music serenaded us, live, from near the entrance, as we feasted on Brazilian tapas.
— Rich flavors are the modus operandi for Made in Brasil, as everything we ordered left us wanting more.
— Awesome caprinhas were just the start of the night, and though they aren’t tequila, they were definitely interesting.
— Service was great, attentive and quick to take care of us. It’s a small restaurant, but they quickly seated us too.
— Interesting ambiance, definitely inspired by Brazil, which is really a country you don’t get enough exposure to the culture of.
— Lots of tequila options. Nuff’ said.
In general, it was a good change of pace from our typical Mexican theme, had great food, and left us wanting another visit. Their prices are a little bit on the high side, but I don’t spend a lot of time in Camden, so maybe this is more typical of the area.

I went to Made in Brasil to look for a unique shot of liquor, the bartender was very friendly and got it to me promptly, I ordered Espetinho de camarao (Rosemary prawn skewers wrapped in parma ham £5.95) from the restaurant and it was interestingly good. My only two criticism’s is that it took a while to get the food and one waitress was a little bit rude. But definitely good place for a unique drink!

I have been to Made in Brasil for the first time in April this year and I can tell this is a worthy place to visit in Camden! Probably one of the best Brazilian restaurants in London. From the music to the Deco, every details remind Brazil without being cliché.
As a Brazilian living in the Uk for one year now I DO miss my food. So it was really nice to try the restaurant’s Tapas deal, that you can choose to 3 of some very well known snacks (such as Coxinhas, Pão de Queijo or Pastel) for a very good price.
The service is another positive factor. From the started to the main course you have a very pleasant staff around always checking if everything is okay or if we need something else.
As Camden Town is known for being a place for all tastes, Made in Brasil wouldn’t be in another place. The Caipirinhas are very nice and the prices are another positive point. For a London restaurant Made in Brasil is affordable for all kinds of pockets,
Definitely a place to be back soon!

Camden, for all its faults, is home to a few of my favourite restaurants in London, shame I just refuse to come here that often to visit them. Camden skeeves me out, okay?!
But Made in Brasil is definitely worth a visit, especially if you have your own authentic Brazilian to tell you about the food ;-)
I’m pretty sure Brazilian food was invented with me in mind; cheesy bread balls, chickeny breadcrumb things, so much meat and amazing calamari. I kinda wanted to eat everything, so I totally did.
You can order 5 little dishes for $ 20, and it’s really great value. They also have happy hour during the week on caipirinhas and beers.
Drink the rum, eat the cheese balls, you’ll thank me when you are fat, drunk and happy.

Cool place to enjoy a few Brahmas. Just don’t go there when Brasil are playing football — it’s impossible to get in. Plus they start charging entry at £5. Cosy place though but as mentioned before nearly everyone speaks Portuguese. There are nicer pubs/​bars in Camden this one is (obviously) aimed at Brasilans

I really enjoyed my evening here. First, I think that it helps that this place is tucked away from all the craziness of Camden (it’s located in Inverness Street). The décor, all dark wood, is cosy and inviting. It helps that the cocktail list is prolific, and the drinks are well made by experienced bar staff who know their caiprihinas well. (There are 10 different types here — and if you get here at happy hour the cocktails are £3.50.)
While the menu is very comprehensive and has lots of traditional Brazilian large dishes such as pork, black bean and seafood stew — I would recommend getting lots of the street food inspired starters. The cheese bread is a must, as are the courgette and calamari fritters.
The evening was made even more enjoyable when I went downstairs and discovered a live band playing typically Brazilian samba. The great quality of this place is that it feels authentic, rather than «Brasil is our theme». Definitely one of my favourite places in Camden.
