Wembley
What it’s like
Brazilian spot a few minutes from Wembley Park for churrasco, street food and homemade cakes, with daily lunch specials.
Churrasco is the reason to come: skewers of grilled meat carved at the table, alongside Brazilian street food. It's at 305 Harrow Rd, Wembley HA9 6BD, a few minutes' walk from Wembley Stadium and Wembley Park, so you can roll in after a match or a show without hunting for a cab.
The lunch specials are the value end of the meal. Marmita and Prato Feito run Monday to Saturday, 12pm to 5pm, and the dishes rotate daily. Jantinha is the evening version, Monday to Friday, 5pm to 10pm only. Turn up at 5.30 on a Saturday hoping for one and you'll be ordering off the main menu instead, which is the catch worth knowing about.
Inside, the walls are painted by the Brazilian artist Dudu Rosa. Homemade cakes are on the list, and group bookings are the way they handle birthdays and bigger tables, so ring ahead if you're bringing a crowd. Booking a table or ordering online both work from their site.
If you've got small children with you, the menu leans on sharing plates and grilled meat, which tends to land well, but nothing on the site says there's a kids menu, high chairs or a play area, so treat it as a grown-up meal you can bring children to rather than a kids' place. No parking is listed, and the walk from Wembley Park is short enough that tube or train makes more sense.
