“ Giant and delicious Pastel! Kindest friendly staff, as we Brazilians are!! They also have many of my favourite deserts, coxinha, risolis, etc! So happy to have come here! ”
“ Lovely small and relaxed cafe in the heart of Willesden High Road. Veranda brings you some exquisite foods freshly made to a very good standard. As a Jamaican I am exploring foods and this cafe's sugar cane juice is bad bad bad (I mean good good good). Worth trying the brazillian equivalent of a patty - filled with cheese, beef or veg if you prefer. Too many good pastries to try also. You cannot go wrong! Only problem is you may struggle to get a seat to eat all that tasty grub! Thank you Lucas and the Team xxx ”
“ My brazilian girlfriend brought me to Varanda, for second time. This brazilian restaurant located in Harlesden offers a good selection of brazilian pastries, deserts and juices. The pastries are delicious and are freshly made. We’ve tried a cheese, bacon and tomato pastries, chicken coxinhas and caldo de Cana, which is a cane juice. It’s delicious! Also tried a passion fruit mouse, delicious as well. By far, this is my favourite brazilian restaurant in London ”

“ very nice service, very delicious food and sweets ”
“ The food was amazing and resembled Brazillian food really well. I was attended really quick and it did not take long for the food to arrive, approximately 6 minutes and the restaurant was busy! Pricing was fair, I paid 20 for 2 big coxinhas and 2x 400ml milkshakes. Unfortunately the restaurant is quite small and table space and chair avaliability was limited. Overall, 9/10, and I know I'm coming back for more! (Don't come in groups bigger than 10 because there won't be enough space) ”
“ Highly recommend, specially if you want to try a bit for Brazilian taste and pay a very fair price ( this massive burger for only 12) for. A true taste of the best dishes of Brazil . ”
