If good taste is your guide then allow yourself to be swept away by the exotic flavours of Brazil. Quaint and charming, Senzala restaurant serves authentic Brazilian fair that tastes like being there. A fusion of Portuguese and African cuisine that hits the mark; come savour a hearty Feijoada or succulent Bobo de camarao. With live Bossanova, on Thursday and Sunday evenings, the atmosphere is assuredly warm and festive. Add an attentive serving staff, a selection of fine wines and a sunny Mile-End patio into the equation and dining at Senzala feels just like Salvador da Bahia.
