Diners rave about the generous portion sizes. Many leave satisfied, often unable to finish the plates, thanks to the high-quality ingredients used in each dish. The picanha is a standout favorite, perfectly grilled and bursting with flavor. Live music enhances the dining experience, creating a lively atmosphere that keeps guests coming back. Additionally, the extensive cocktail menu garners praise, especially the adventurous flavors of Caipirinha and other tropical drinks.

Most Disliked
Waitstaff service can be hit or miss, with varying experiences noted by patrons. On busier nights, some diners report having to seek out staff for drink refills or assistance, leading to occasional frustrations. Observations also mention that during peak hours, the noise level can rise significantly, making conversation a bit challenging. While the dining ambiance is generally cozy, a few visitors noted that the layout can feel a bit congested when the venue fills up. Given its popularity, reservations are recommended, especially for weekends, to avoid disappointment.

Good food, service not really any, not much care, maybe was a break time but we had to stand and go look for a waiter to ask for another drink, maybe in a different day we will have a better experience.

Very good Brazilian restaurant and food. I really enjoyed this place. I wasn't sure if we'd ordered enough food, but as you can see from my photo there was more than enough! We had whitebait starter, which was good. I had feijoada, which was fantastic, served with yuca fries, rice and cabbage. My partner had a Beef skewer, with yuca fries and a salad. Huge portions, which we struggled to finish, but as it was so delicious nothing was left. Was the first time we visited. We will definitely be going again.

A gem in Croydon. Fabulously tasty food speedy service. Huge portions and very polite friendly staff. Great value for money. Cannot fault it one bit. Big venue would be good for events. Went at 430pm on a saturday before it got busy! Not sure how standards would differ if it were jam packed. Will go again.

If you’re seeking authentic Brazilian cuisine in a lively Croydon setting, Avenida Brasil UK hits the spot. The picanha dish is incredible, perfectly cooked to my taste , generous, and mouth-wateringly good. The cocktails are adventurous, flavour-packed, and effortless to enjoy. Combine that with energetic ambiance, live music, and friendly staff, and it’s a one-way ticket to a memorable evening. Whether you’re a meat-lover chasing that ideal picanha or a cocktail fan after something vibrant and fun, this place delivers. Highly recommended.

Had a great time with my partner and our dog. The food was delicious, but the place is too big for only three waiters, which makes the service a bit slower. They were lovely, though

Great C.
Food was great and delicious, menu was bit heavy on meat . Seafood option was limited we were served promptly and the food arrived on time, staff polite and friendly . My daughter just returned from a trip from Brazil and she was impressed that food and drinks were authenticly good . It was worth every penny we were full to the brim.
