Favela Chic is a restaurant, a bar, a club, a bordello, a concept, a gallery, a situationist movement and a celebration of Brazil, France and London.
A rock ‘n’ roll circus that dances to samba beats!

Our restaurant - like all things Favela- is a melange of the fine, the fantastic and the beautiful; a fresh and tasty hybrid of the best of Brazil and France with the flair of Mediterranean cooking styles. In our wonderful Brazilian-led kitchen, only the freshest produce and exotic flavours make it through the door. Favela Chic’s menu offers you a distinctive range of Preliminares (starters), like Scallops with a sweet frisee salad of Mango and Papaya or traditional Brazilian cheese bread – Pao de Queija. For Sacanagens (our mains) choose the Hand of God (Sirloin steak, salad, sautéed potatoes with herbs and pepper sauce) or Moqueca (tropical fish dish served with rice and banana), Feijoada (Brazilian Pork and Black Bean Stew – a national dish!). With the Feijoada and Moqueca we donate one pound for every dish to a Favela Charity to show our support for the children living in deprived conditions in Rio De Janeiro.
After all that you can finish off with a Garrincha (caramelized plantains served with chilli chocolate ice cream and hot cachaca syrup) or PeleZico (chocolate fondant and vanilla ice cream) and you simply can't leave without having an Orgasmos!

Londoners can be coached by our chefs to indulge their own Brazilian love affair for food! Step into the kitchen and explore the culinary craft of Favela. Please contact us for more details.

Last week I visited Favela for the first time in years, and I was positively impressed. This is no longer just a place to go for a wild night out with great music and atmosphere; they have really turned the food and service around. Apparently they have a new Brazilian head chef, well it worked - myself and my Portuguese friend would happily go back, especially for the desserts!

Great fun! The place is a weird concept of restaurant, bar and crazy dance party...very crowded but friendly good one. We went with a nice bunch of friends, had nice dinner, loads of capirinhas and crazy dancing. Not your usual dining place! But great if you are with a nice bunch of friends for a funky night out!

this place is extremely confused. turning a building with such beautiful features into an orchestrated slum is a sin. gimmicks aside, where was the samba?
