This enormous Brazilian spot in the old Isola space right off the Knightsbridge tube seems to be empty often so we don't know how well it can do. Though there was huge buzz about it before it opened and people still bring it up, it's tough to fill that many tables in this mostly- daytime neighbourhood. And as such, the three people at the door seemingly guarding entree baffles us. Upstairs though from the sunken restaurant is a lovely bar, with its odd combo of rustic tables and modern bar elements, where they serve fabulous mojitos to a hyper- West- London set. Be prepared though that because of the odd list policy, it does attract the kind of patrons who get drunk and spill all over their Paul Smith shirts. At least it's not far to stumble for dinner!
