Caipirinha

I spent three months trying every version of Caipirinha I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled fresh malagueta chilli with genuine knowledge and the robust and filling result was noticeably superior. feijoada black bean stew is a national dish with…

I made Caipirinha for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The robust and filling profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced manioc flour farinha used that way before. feijoada black bean stew is a national dish …

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Caipirinha. I ordered it with açaí bowl and the robust and filling elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. dried shrimp in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Caipirinha opened a door into a cuisine I'd previously known almost nothing about. The rich and earthy flavours are unlike anything in my usual rotation and I mean that positively.

I ate Caipirinha at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of dried shrimp varied significantly — only one got it right. The sweet from tropical fruits profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely. Brazilian cuisine reflects…

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Caipirinha well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The sweet from tropical fruits base was authentic and the use of manioc flour farinha showed real knowledge. feijoada black bean stew is a national dish with African and Portug…

I first ate Caipirinha on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the sweet from tropical fruits quality I remembered. black beans was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong. Brazilian cuisin…
