Dalva e Dito

Upmarket Brazilian food The sister restaurant to the highly successful D.O.M., and run by the same chef, Alex Atala, Dalva e Dito has a much more laid back atmosphere, but is similarly upmarket in quality and pricing. Although the service is good and the space is attractive – decorated from top to toe with an eclectic mix of wooden sculptures, striking murals and brightly coloured tiles – the food is the main attraction. Dishes are typically Brazilian in essence, but with a twist, so you can find delights such as mouthwatering cashew caipirinhas or chocolate and priprioca mousse on the menu, as well as more conventional variants which are equally recommended.

This bright and ambitious new restaurant only opened in January, so it is still a fledgling.

Their culinary mission is to take traditional Brazilian home cooking and refine it.
