Bars and restaurants - London Caipirinha Festival

The London Caipirinha Festival is the largest Brazilian cocktail and gastronomy competition of its type in the UK created to promote cachaça, the distilled spirit used to make a caipirinha, as well as a range of participating bars and restaurants across London.

The festival seeks to celebrate Brazil’s vivacious spirit, and in particular put one item from the country’s rich gastronomic heritage centre stage: the caipirinha.

Temakinho - The Bespoke Black Book

And not only is Temakinho certified sustainable, it is also offers a rare fusion of Japanese and Brazilian cuisine.

A delicious hybrid that makes sense, considering Brazil has one of the biggest established Japanese communities.

With queues round the block…for the Eat Tokyo next door, we strolled straight into Temakinho.

The main - in fact, pretty much only - problem to be faced by those visiting Soho’s latest sushi pit stop, is that the menu is so extensive and so delicious that you’ll be hard pressed to choose what to eat.

Serious interiors goals.The extensive menu, inspired by the fusion of Brazilian flavours and Japanese cuisine, delivers dishes that are elegant, high quality, filled with flavour and ethically sourced, from sushi rolls and poke bowls to vibrant ceviche and crisp caipirinhas.

We started with some Petiscos (a Japanese-Brazilian snack); the Maresia was sublime, meltingly delicious scallops wrapped in kataifi pasta with avocado, cream cheese, flying fish roe and chives with passion fruit and a spicy miso sauce.

If you haven’t yet tried a Poke bowl (one of the summer’s most talked-about food trends), Temakinho’s are worth a shot; we tried the mixed Poke, sprinkled with sesame seeds, edamame beans and yuzu, absolutely packed full of flavour and a total treat on the tastebuds.It would be rude to set foot in the place without trying the sushi and the rolls did not disappoint.

I heartily recommended the Salmao Gostoso included salmon tartare, chives, avocado, spicy mayonnaise, cream cheese, flying fish roe, almond flakes and sweet & sour sauce, along with the Felicidade; yellowtail, seared scallops, mango and cucumber with a tropical vinaigrette of chilli peppter, passion fruit, papaya, lime, apple chives and coriander.Too all intents and purposes, Temakinho is just too damn tasty.
