Ipanema - Restaurant & Bar in Brent

I was really disappointed when we came here. I read all the good reviews, saw all the pictures of the cool cocktails and was really excited. We ordered the drinks with lollipops - they arrived with no lollipops. They were just basic cocktails that weren't that nice tasting in a normal glass. Not like the pictures and with no lollipop as listed on the menu. Then as we started our food, which was quite nice they started clearing all the chairs and tables out of the restaurant around us which made us feel really uncomfortable and completely ruined the whole experience. They were holding an event there which meant we had to leave by a certain time which wasn't a big problem for us but as we'd booked well in advance they could have emailed to let us know as we'd have gone elsewhere.

This place has a wonderful atmosphere, and it’s always a bonus when the bar serves top-notch cocktails. Bartender Lucas made me the best Mojito I’ve ever had.

Really good and tasty food!!! service was really nice too!! we will come back for sure!!

The best restaurant in London...best food and best atmosphere.

The best restaurant in london, the atmosphere are perfect !!! Food and drinks amazing !!!

Best weekend! Congratulations on the service.

The best place to have a good choice a relax rime

We visited here for some pre gig grub and we were not disappointed!!! We had an absolutely excellent time!! The food was some of the best we have ever had and the ambiance of the restaurant was second to none. Honestly could not fault a single thing. Had a right old laugh with the staff members who also gave us some cracking recommendations!!!!! Drinks were spot on and the cocktails were awesome. The toilets were nice as well, and felt comfortable when used at the end of the meal. Just a shame we don’t live closer as would visit this place all the time Fair play to all involved, this place is a real hidden gem! Salou 👍🏼👳🏽‍♀️👍🏼

Wonderful place, the food is delicious, great service and good music!! ❤️

Great restaurant, a must if you are in the area. It's a small place with friendly waiting staff. Cocktails are delicious & £14 for 2! Food options were great, we went with a platter for 2 with chicken, steak, fries, croquettes, onions & sausage. We thought the food was delicious & the prices very reasonable.

The food we had wasn’t bad but at the same time wasn’t that special especially for a price of £70+ (steak, fries, sausage, chicken and potato). We were surprised to see a cover charge of £10 on top of the service charge on the bill when we waited for one hour for our food. We could have had the food elsewhere for a cheaper prize to be honest. Also I appreciate having live entertainment in the restaurant - the singer was good. However, it was too loud for the restaurant size that we can hardly converse there. Overall, I wouldn’t be back to visit.

We waited for 1 hour for a food that is, overvalued as well. We have to complain to the waiter about having no food coming out for us after 45 minutes while the takeaway orders were prioritised. Nobody cared to give us an update either. The waiter apologised only after we complained, along with the other 2 tables complaining too

Amazing food and extremely authentic. Maybe not the cheapest brazilian food in London but definitely the best I've had in the UK. Highly recommend

Stumbled across this place whilst staying at the Hilton for a Wembley Arena comedy show. Great service and stunning food- the meat was flavoursome and delicious!

Lucas best waiter. I had a wonderful night with friends. I recommend it 100%

Really good food and ambience. Very friendly staff. Reasonably priced.

Had a great time with friends. The food was amazing. Great vibe great cocktail. Would recommend Friday night for the live music. This place it top 5 Brazilian restaurants in London. Lucas was great waiter. Service was excellent.

I had an incredible time at Ipanema, a great Brazilian restaurant in London! The **caipirinha** was amazing—so refreshing—and the **steak** was cooked perfectly, full of flavor. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Brazilian food and drinks!

The Ipanema Ipanema restaurant is a true gastronomic gem! From the moment you enter, you are greeted by a cozy and elegant atmosphere, which perfectly matches the restaurant's proposal. The service is exceptional, with attentive staff who are always willing to offer recommendations.

The true taste of Brazilian food. I’ve always been well been served, good songs, food and a jolly atmosphere. Without doubt a place to enjoy with friends, have a dating or celebrate special moments 👏🏼👏🏼

To preface this I want to say it was 8pm and I had not eaten all day so I literally would have eaten anything. This was probably the longest I have ever had to wait for food. When my (medium) steak came out it was inedible, so overcooked and chewy that i could not even swallow it, i even tried 3 different pieces but had to spit it out, my friends steak was the same. We asked for a new one which came after the rest of the group had finished their food, which also came after an hour wait. There was live music which was simply way too loud and overwhelming. The only reason is gets over one star is because the cocktail I ordered was nice, and the second steak was thankfully edible. The wait was just too long and my group all agreed that we wont ever come back.

We found this restaurant on trip adviser as it was located close to Wembley OVO where were attending an event. What a fantastic pre event find!!!! Our waiter Lucas was really knowledgeable about the items on the menu and helped us make our choices. The sharing steak platter for two was absolutely delicious and the meat seasoned to perfection. If you are looking for somewhere tasty and enjoy Brazilian food prior to a Wembley event then this is the restaurant to seek out. Thank you guys we had a fantastic meal!

I recently dined at Ipanema Restaurant, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with vibrant décor that instantly transported us to Brazil. The food is FABULOUS! The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our glasses were always full. Overall, Ipanema Restaurant offers a unique and flavorful dining experience, ideal for both casual nights out and special celebrations. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch Brazilian cuisine in a lively setting!

I was extremely disappointed I didn’t even eat the food cause it was so undercooked, I had high hopes but the minute I got here I was treated rudely and when I told them about the raw chicken they didn’t seem like they cared and didn’t even attempt to make the situation better it’s quite sad since I saw good reviews online.

Where do I start? We went out for my friends birthday. The person serving us had hardly any knowledge of the food on the menu and seemed quite lost and was rude. The food was taking very long and when asked about it the staff was rude about it. When we all had our food on the table, one of us didn’t get any. And when asked where his food is? They replied that they forgot to place his order and when it would have came, all of us would’ve been finished with our meal and keep in mind that this was supposed to be a birthday meal. Another one of us received a skewer of chicken which was raw on the inside of it. When it was raised to the manager she said “well what do you want me to do about it?” My friend wanted to check if the other meats were raw whilst the manager was present and as he was trying to cut into it within an instant she pretty much snatched the knife out of his hand and tried to cut into it herself but my friend stopped her halfway as he felt very embarrassed and demoralised . Very unprofessional and rude to be frank. Overall, the food was not bad, nothing special. The service and management from the staff really ruined the whole experience and we won’t be returning here again.

1. They forgot my order 2. Chicken was uncooked 3. Food looks like an airplane meal 4. Overpriced 5. Service below standard

Fanstastic service. I went with my Mum before the Taylor Swift concert and this meal was as memorable as the performance. The best steak I have tasted. So flavourful & cooked perfectly without having to ask how I wanted it cooked. Our waiter Lucas, was friendly and walked us through the menu & made suggestions to our preferences. All of which we thoroughly enjoyed. The drinks were tasty & the energy in the house was super chill & felt like we could stay for as long as we enjoyed. I would go back next time I am in wembley area

Incredible service. Homemade food!! Very good!!

Hands down the worst burger I’ve ever had. One bite and sent it back but according to staff food being disgusting isn’t enough for a refund, it needs to be “a proper reason”

Very good meat (we had the picaña for two) at a reasonable price (for London) with magnificent service (thanks to our waiter Lucas for his friendliness and kindness and for his willingness to speak and learn Spanish despite it not being his language). It was a great dinner.

I recently dined at this incredible Brazilian restaurant, and it was an experience to remember! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a fantastic evening. The service was impeccable—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. Now, let's talk about the food. Every dish was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with authentic flavors that transported me straight to Brazil. The meats were perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy, while the sides complemented them beautifully. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was impressive. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy an exceptional Brazilian dining experience. Five stars all the way!

Great food, attentive and friendly service, we will be back for the live music in the evening to soak up the legendary atmosphere

The most delicious food! Service was great, we were made to feel welcome straight away! Staff went to full lengths and made a drink that wasn’t on their menu which we were extremely grateful for!

I recently lunched at Ipanema Restaurant and, unfortunately, my experience was not as enjoyable as I had hoped. The main issue was the food, which I found to be quite disappointing. The flavors were underwhelming, and the dishes lacked the freshness and vibrancy one would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The presentation was average at best, and overall, the meals did not meet my expectations. On a positive note, the service was satisfactory. The staff were attentive and courteous, ensuring that our needs were met promptly. They were friendly and helpful, which somewhat salvaged the experience.

I had an excellent experience with the friendly and unique service. Although the Negroni wasn't on the menu, the waiter made the effort to prepare it for the first time in her life. Such dedication is rare and highly appreciated! The food was also fresh and very delicious. Thank you for such outstanding service!

Lucas and Giovanna were absolutely amazing and the food was so so good! I grew up in Brazil and this food brought me back.

Just perfect. We had a couple of Caipirinhas which were probably the best we’ve had in UK. The coxinha was awesome. Pirinha steak and the feijoada were also incredible. Service was great and the vibe was fun with Brazilian music playing. Would definitely go again and a big thanks to Lucas and Giovanna :)

Over price, we stayed there for 30 minutes, two friends and I paid £30 for the music, £10 per person... The music was not pleasant, the singer was uncomfortable with the girlfriend of a man at the next table, the person was uncomfortable…

Very delicious food, the picanha is delicious, the caipiroska is very good, and the white chocolate cake is really delicious, a 10 🥇😍

Lucas and the team were fantastic! The food and drinks were great and it was perfect for a pre- concert lunch! They played Taylor for all The swifty fans and were just lovely hosts. Thanks!

I loved everything about this place! We booked on line as we were going to a gig at Wembley. The area is full of greasy takeaways and bland chains but this place is the opposite of all of that! It’s about a 7 min walk from the stadium and full of atmosphere and authenticity. The perfect place to get you in the mood for an evening out! Delicious cocktails (at a very good price) and amazing skewered meats (big portions) served with salad a fries or rice and black beans. The waiting staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. Go now!

Excellent authentic food and friendly staff

It’s hard to know where to start. We arrived for an 8 15 reservation and eventually after threatening to walk out we were served an hour and 15 minutes later. Food when it turned up was under cooked and over cooked in places. Staff totally disorganised. Even better at no point did any one apologise, offer us a free drink and when the bill came had a service charge. Avoid this place like the plague

Sehr nettes, kleines Restaurant mit sehr gutem Essen. Wir waren zur Zeit des Champions-League-Finales dort, ergab 3 Menüs zur Auswahl. Obwohl es sehr voll war, hat alles reibungslos geklappt, das Personal war unglaublich freundlich. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis top!!

It's an absolutely amazing place to meet friends and family members to have lunch or dinner and also you can ride the place for parties.It's very good👍.

The place has a great atmosphere, food and cocktails 10/10 !!! Highly recommended!!

Overpriced ,got raw chicken 🐔 Nobody even responded from the kitchen:(

Ordered the Tilapia fish as a starter and the Picanha for 2 as main. Both dished were amazing, it really reminded me of Brazil. Definitely recommended

Second visit here. Absolutley everything just brilliant again. Love the staff, so efficient and friendly, the perfect combination. We were the only non-Brazilian people in there as far as we could tell! Thanks again.

We were in town for a concert and fancied something other than the same old chain restaurants. Wow! We were not disappointed! Generous portions, super tasty food, great cocktails and wonderful wine- I enjoyed everything. There were 3 of us and we had the 2 person platter and the crispy prawns - we couldn’t finish it all! Staff were helpful and attentive. Next time we are in Wembley we will definitely be back!

Great service, great food, great ambience

We went to Ipanema on a Sunday before going to a match at Wembley. There was a set menu with 2-3 course options. Visited with my Brazilian wife and English friends. Everyone loved the food and atmosphere, including the English kids we were with.

Best Brazilian restaurant in London. The food is superb and the staff is friendly. Sometimes they have live music!

This restaurant is absolutely amazing.lucas our host has made our time at the restaurant one to be remembered. The food was simple but so delicious & the live music really does add to the whole experience & to be served a beer in a boot was great 😂The people that run this place really do make you feel like they earned your money. I recommend coming here to everyone as it’s such a relaxing experience.

Nice place and brazilian foods!!!

Really nice restaurant, food was so good , we will definitely be back when in the area , staff were super friendly and welcoming.

Loved it! Amazing live music and good quality food. Best in the area for sure. Highly recommend

Great staff. Nice place Food was worth it

Too top, singer Lucas Larras is smashed. Success

Show, always good. Singer Saturday was great.

Really good restaurant. Recently moved to Wembley and the service/food was great. They do have gluten free options too which is great

Great food and atmosphere. I will come back

Well recommend nice Brazilian food

You order your food, they wait one hour and just cancel without a explanation. Perfect customer service 👏👏

I loved it I will come back again

We were made very welcome and ate very well. Come without hesitation.

Best Brazilian restaurant in London.

We had such a lovely meal here today. Great food, lovely service and really looked after us with our two little ones! The capirinhas are fantastic!

I've been there 4/5 times, it's all very good! Excellent food, first class service, cozy and pleasant atmosphere. Special thanks to Catarina and Jéssica.

The place is incredible, the food is wonderful, the delivery always comes perfectly! I've been a customer for 1 year and I love their food

Lovely local spot. Great value and no compromise on quality

Great vibrant place. Food was good as was the draught beer

Delicious feijoada, especially when you've been more than 20 days away from home for more than 20 days.

Wonderful service, food is delicious, 10

Fabulous food and vibe. We look forward to returning.

The food it’s so delicious and the attendance it’s 100%amazing very kind

The food was beyond expectations. The pork scratchings are absolutely incredible! Service was quick nd friendly and there was a good atmosphere

I loved the all-you-can-eat pizza. Great place to miss Brazil in the UK.

Had a wonderful night out with my family, it was not our first time in this restaurant but was the first time we tried the pizza rodízio. It was great, very similar to what we had back home. The only feedback I’d leave is to pay attention on the tables at the back and maybe start serving the pizzas from time to time starting with tables at the back of the restaurant, otherwise these tables only get “left overs” I.e it was hard to get the chicken and catupiry pizza because all tables have already been served first, however when I asked the attendant that we were waiting for that specific flavour she was very friendly and had another order coming from the kitchen in a few minutes ☺️ The drinks are excellent, and we got a double promotion so overall very happy and will be coming back.

Best pizza I ate in London, perfect in everything with a true Brazilian taste. Congratulations

Ici tout est bon : nous avons testé diverses entrées et les brochettes de viande, servies en quantité, les caipirinha fraise ou passion particulièrement réussies et leur petit esquimau à la caipi ajoutent à l'ambiance, et il y a des burgers si vous ne vous sentez pas l'âme aventureuse. C'était tellement bon que nous y sommes retournés quelques jours après: nous étions là plus tôt et pour l'happy hour c'est deux caipirinha qu'on vous amène !

excellent atmosphere, very friendly staff, excellent food! emphasis on Beef-rib croquettes, with their unmatched flavor. Congratulations to the excellent chef Leonardo

Very friendly staff. Clean. Food was amazing

It was without a doubt one of the best Brazilian restaurants in London. The second best of all!! When did the quality drop so much??? The mix says "Beef, chicken and bacon" Steak had nothing!!! One skewer was chicken and peppers, the other was a piece of chicken and bacon and an onion head!!!! It was clearly put in place to reduce costs but who eats that amount of onions??? Pay £22 pounds to eat rice and beans?? Please compare this item before and the same item now!!! This is too horrible!!!!!!!! Where did the unparalleled quality go????? I hope the economy swapping steak for onions helped because they probably need it!!!!

Holy meats! Ipanema is serving up some seriously delicious foods. Our table shared everything, which is really the way to go to get the best experience. Everything on the meat platter was cooked perfectly, the chicken with potato sticks was sooo tasty. There’s so much to try here it’s hard to pick what to order but all the more reason to keep coming back for more!

Food was awesome and staffs are polite

Was nice food! The steak was good but the burger was even better! I was not a big fan of the croquettes though. The reason for the 4* is due to really slow service, it was game day and they were clearly understaffed - poor management!

Very nice food! We booked a table on Saturday with live music. It was very busy and our food took long time however they were very caring with us and surprised us with free drinks at the end. Very nice service and good environment !!! I recommend

Excellent food. The picanha was very good. It's not very big but the owner welcomed us very well. Fast service.

Very good, in addition to good service, excellent all-you-can-eat pizza.

Best burger in London 😍 very tasty, just like in Brazil 😋 wonderful homemade mayonnaise too! I highly recommend it!!

Burger was delicious...but the fries were very greasy . Fresh oil change perhaps?

Food was nice but not out of this world. Chicken skewers were child size portion which left us hungry. Waitress was friendly until I told her I had a tastecard which entitles me to 25% of the bill. She was fuming, as if I had no right to ask for a discount (well take yourself off tastecard lol). When the bill came I noticed that 10% svs charge was added but I did not see the mentioned anywhere!! I won't be rushing back here.

Lovely place, nice food, and decent prices. Some of us went for a combination of starters, sides and pastels, and one of our party had a burger with pulled beef, which he liked. Cachaca was generous. If any slight issue is we'd have liked a bit more spice to the food.

My first time being in a Brazilian restaurant and I am glad they were my first choice, food was amazing, Chef was very helpful, friendly and his service was amazing as he came and recommended me some steak. I recommend everyone to go there, it is a must if you wanna try different traditional food. Their steak is delicious.

Great restaurant! Delicious food and drinks! Amazing service with the waitress Jessica!

I was treated very well and the food was excellent.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a Brazilian restaurant in London, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment I stepped in, the vibrant atmosphere and lively ambiance instantly transported me to the heart of Brazil. The first thing that caught my attention was the incredible vibe of this place. The energetic music, colorful decor, and warm staff created a lively and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at Brazil Now, let's talk about the drinks. The sugar cane caipirinha was nothing short of amazing! It was expertly crafted, with just the right balance of sweetness and tanginess. It made me feel I was in the heart of Ipanema beaches in Rio de Janeiro. And let's not forget the food. The x costela burger deserves all the accolades it can get. Believe me when I say it's the best burger I have ever tasted! The succulent, juicy ribs were divine. It's a burger that sets a new standard, and I can't recommend it enough. Lastly, I was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of cakes available. From traditional Brazilian delights to decadent chocolate creations, they had something to satisfy every sweet tooth. The cake was moist, the frosting was light and creamy, and the burst of tropical flavor was absolutely delightful. So, if you're in London and craving a taste of Brazil, make sure to visit this restaurant. You'll be treated to an unforgettable culinary journey that will leave you wanting more.
