Judy Joo Instagram – Brazilian food is having a moment in London—and @bossa.mayfair is a welcomed addition to the Latin American dining scene. It’s a classy venue for sure, and a far cry from the more known rodizio all you can eat meat and churrascaria buffets. Bossa has transformed this former Maroush space into an exquisite and stylish venue full of warm wood tones and modern art. An open kitchen allows you to peak in on all of the action as well, and observe the attention to detail and passion that the chefs put into their creations. Tucked in next to the Brazilian consulate just off Oxford Street, Bossa boasts a tranquil ambiance… and the moment you walk through the doors, you feel whisked away from the hustle and bustle outside. I loved the crab pastel, a kind of large dumpling stuffed with spiced fresh crab enclosed in a bubbly crisp pastry served with a lemony acai dipping sauce. The seafood moqueca was a must order and incredibly tasty – extremely flavorful, studded with gems from the sea—octopus, prawns, mussels, squid and fish in a vibrant orange rich broth. I also really liked the texture of the banana farofa served on the side. The aged ribeye was also executed to perfection. The Brazilians are known for their barbecue, and I was hoping that they would have the famed prized cut picanha, popular in Brazil, but the ribeye was good nonetheless. The dessert offerings, egg coconut custard and tonka bean flan, rounded off the meal on a high note, each dish offering a unique, well-balanced flavor. I will be back to Bossa… and even better that it is practically on my doorstep in Marylebone. • • • #BossaLondon #BrazilianInLondon #FineDining #Mayfair #Marylebone #Foodie #CulinaryExperience #Chef #InstaChef #JudyJoo #Chef #Instachef #LondonDining #OxfordStreetEats #WorldCuisine #CrabPastel #SeafoodMoqueca #HamachiBottarga #AgedRibeye #EggCoconutCustard
