Square Meal Review of Guanabara ?

Fancy a fruit caipirinha & a three-course meal for £17? It’s possible at this Brazilian bar/diner/nightclub, which brings a touch of carnival spirit to Covent Garden. It may be housed in a dreary concrete carbuncle, but Guanabara generates a pulsating & exotic Copacabana vibe – helped along by equally pulsating live zumba, salsa, capoeira & afrobeats. In addition to caipirinhas, the drinks of choice are flavoured mojitos, coconut batida & variations on cachaça – the sugar-cane spirit of Brazil. Indigenous beery bruisers include Brahma, Palma Loca & Itaipava, while neighbouring Argentina supplies Quilmes lager & viscous Traquino Malbec at £18.50. To eat: anything from salt-cod fishcakes, deep-fried chicken strips, moquecas (seafood casserole) & carioca salad to the full feijoada (sausage & black bean stew) – best avoided if you plan to limbo down.

    I’ve just returned from Brazil so booked carnival for me and some friends and I so I could celebrate my new love of all things Carioca and show off my new Forro dancing skills lol…I seriously couldn’t rave about this venue more, the girls who helped me book my table were so polite and helpful, I wanted to buy them a Caipirinha just to say thank you for being so considerate!!!…Apart from making awesome cocktails, the barmen here are seriously HOT! If I hadn’t have been there for happy hour (which for central London, you get a seriously good deal) I would have paid the £10 entry fee just to perve on them haha ;)!..we were sat down for our food by a very happy, helpful Brazilian beauty and served by a busy, but delightful Brazilian waiter and in a timely fashion (considering how busy the restaurant was for a Friday night). The music was authentic, the acts were entertaining and if it wasn’t for the authentic London weather outside, I could have sworn I was still on the white sands of Rio. It was so good I even went the very next day for their masked ball (yet again amazing!). Guanabara is exactly what it promises in the promo- genuine, Brazilian and fun! I will defiantly be spending a lot more nights here.

    We have been there few times. Food were alright, not bad but not amazing either. However, it suppose to be a place for Salsa dancing, but the atmosphere and music were getting worse and worse every time we went back. I do not think I will bo back there again.
