$$$$ • Brazilian • Camden Town
Fun-loving Camden has just got its own slice of the exotic Amazon in the shape of Made in Brasil Boteco - a new neighbourhood cachaçaria bar on Chalk Farm Road.Centred on a passion for all things Brasilian, Made in Brasil Boteco is a bohemian, favela-style bar in the heart of North London. Step into this energetic space and be instantly transported to the vibrant carnivals of Rio or the friendly, old-style botecos (bars) of Sao Paulo and Salvador. The national spirit of Brasil is Cachaça, a traditional spirit distilled from sugar cane juice which has a sweet and explosive flavour. In fact, the bar boasts the largest selection of cachaças in the UK with over 100 to choose from.The head chef Clau Gloria D Souza from Porto Seguro in the Brazilian state of Bahia has brought the taste of her homeland to a menu of Petiscos (Brazilian tapas) to be nibbled on throughout the evening. Made in Brasil Boteco is already becoming a bohemian hub of South American culture.
