Brazilian Restaurants in Madrid

If you’re craving something other than the usual Madrid tapas, Brazilian restaurants here offer a nice change of pace. And it’s not just about churrasco, though you’ll find that too,tender cuts of meat grilled over an open flame, just like in São Paulo or Rio. Some places, like Fogo de Chão on Calle de Alcalá, bring a pretty authentic rodizio experience, with servers bringing endless cuts of meat right to your table.

Don’t overlook smaller spots in areas like Lavapiés or Malasaña, where you’ll find more casual joints serving up coxinha, feijoada (a slow-cooked black bean stew), and pão de queijo. The vibe is usually unpretentious, just good food and strong caipirinhas to wash it down. If you go in winter, a steaming bowl of feijoada feels like a warm hug.

A tip from me: alongside the meat, try ordering some of the Brazilian sides,farofa (toasted cassava flour) adds a crunchy twist you might not expect, and the salads tend to use fresh flavors like heart of palm. If you’re coming during the weekend, check if any of the spots host a live samba or Forró night,it makes for some fun local color. Brazilian food in Madrid isn’t super common, but it’s definitely worth hunting down once you’re done with bocadillos and jamón ibérico.
