Feijoada à Brasileira is a typical Brazilian dish that the Portuguese also love. It is made with different types of meat, such as pork, dried meat, sausage and ribs, and various side dishes such as black beans, farofa, white rice and cabbage from Minas Gerais. It’s a hearty and tasty dish, perfect for a colder day, but just as delicious on hot days… a lot!
We’re lucky that in Portugal there’s a little bit of Brazil around every corner, especially when it comes to this tasty food.
With more and more Brazilians choosing Lisbon as their European city to live in, it wasn’t long before the flavors of Brazil invaded our kitchens.
So, to the sound of the best samba, today we’re going to guide you to our favorite restaurants with Feijoada à Brasileira.
