Brazilian Restaurants in Dublin

If you’ve ever craved authentic Brazilian food while in Dublin, you’re in luck. The city’s got a handful of spots that don’t just throw the word ‘Brazilian’ on the menu but actually nail the flavours. You’ll find places serving rich feijoada, that slow-cooked black bean stew with pork that hits just right on a cold evening. And for the meat lover, a nicely grilled picanha steak with a squeeze of lime is available in several restaurants around the city.

For a truly local experience, hit up the eateries around Smithfield or along Camden Street where some of these Brazilian joints have settled in. They bring more than food , there’s always the sound of samba or the chance to sip on a well-made caipirinha (don’t be shy about asking them to make it with fresh lime). One spot I keep going back to is Alma, where the portions are generous and the atmosphere feels genuine, not overdone for tourists.

Pro tip: Brazilian food is all about sharing, so try going with friends to sample several dishes rather than ordering just one. And keep an eye out for their festival nights, especially around Carnaval time when places get lively with music and dancing, reminding you you’re not just in Dublin but a bit of Brazil too.

A little local advice

If you want to blend in a bit more and maybe catch something a bit less touristy, try visiting the Brazilian-run markets or pop-ups popping up occasionally around the city, especially in busy areas like Temple Bar and the Docklands. These often feature homemade snacks and sweets you won’t find on the regular menus.

Also, timing matters. Weekends tend to be busier and livelier at these restaurants, with a better chance to catch live music or informal gatherings. I recommend booking ahead or dropping by early if you want a table without a wait.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Brazilian food in Dublin? Here’s what locals often wonder.

For a decent churrasco fix, check out Alma in Smithfield. It’s not a full-on rodizio, but the picanha and other grilled cuts are done right. Just ask for it cooked a bit pink if you can.

Yes, a few cafes and takeaway joints around Camden Street offer coxinha and pastel. They’re small snacks but great for a quick bite, especially if you want something less heavy than a full meal.

Brazilian food tends to be meaty, true. But you can find feijoada made with just beans and veggies on request in places like Alma, and some restaurants offer farofa with mushrooms or kale as a good side.

Not so much mainstream, but a few spots try to serve brigadeiros – those rich chocolate truffles. Also, watch for pudim, a Brazilian flan, popping up in dessert menus now and then.

Definitely. Most Brazilian restaurants know how important a good caipirinha is. Fresh lime, decent cachaça, and just the right touch of sugar. If it tastes too sweet, ask for a stronger one.
