Cafe Rio Fitzrovia is a Brazilian coffeehouse, bar and restaurant at 66 Grafton Way near Warren Street station. It serves from breakfast into the evening on weekdays, with a shorter Saturday service and a cosy outdoor area. The menu combines Brazilian favourites with British and continental cafe dishes, making it useful for breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks.
Breakfast covers cooked plates, eggs Benedict, pastries and lighter options alongside organic coffee, smoothies and fresh juice. Brazilian snacks bring more distinctive flavours through coxinha chicken croquettes, pão de queijo cheese bread, crisp pastel pastries, kibe and fried cassava. These small dishes work as a quick bite or a shared introduction to the cuisine.
Feijoada is a central comfort dish, combining black beans with pork in a deeply savoury stew. Picanha presents the popular Brazilian rump cap cut, while burgers, steaks, salad platters and changing specials broaden the choice. Vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten free options are represented, allowing groups with different needs to order from the same varied menu.
Cakes and pastries pair naturally with coffee, while beer, wine and a full bar support later visits. The caipirinha mixes lime, sugar and cachaça for Brazil’s best known refreshing cocktail. Cafe Rio balances the easy pace of a neighbourhood cafe with substantial Brazilian food and drinks in the heart of Fitzrovia.
