In Marylebone, there is a glitzy new Brazilian restaurant that represents a significant development in the story of Brazilian cuisine in London. This is Bossa (4 Vere Street, W1G 0DG, bossa.co.uk).
Elegant and opulent, the food is refined and ambitious — with prices to match. Its name is a nod to the fusion of jazz and samba that emerged in the late Fifties, but is also slang for a “mess”, explains founder Alberto Landgraf. “Bossa is like: let’s mix things up, Brazilian ingredients with British ones, and see what comes out of it.”
