Brazilian restaurants in London: 5 best from 'unlimited meat' grills to fish stews

Spectacular football may be Brazil's greatest export but its cuisine should not be entirely overlooked.

England take on Seleção Canarinha ('Canary Squad') in an international friendly at Wembley on Saturday evening (March 23) at 7pm.

To mark the occasion, or any other, why not try out one of the many Brazilian steakhouses or restaurants across London.
