Sushinho | Brazil and Japan meet in the City

Sushinho, a restaurant offering Brazilian-Japanese food in Chelsea, will open its second outpost in the City in February 2013.

Although Japanese and Brazilian cuisine might seem like an odd combination, it is actually more common than you’d think, as São Paulo is home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan.

Sushinho is located in a refurbished, listed building, and features a ground floor restaurant complete with a 10ft sushi bar, and a lower ground floor cocktail bar, all designed by stylish interior designer Macaulay Sinclair.

The native Brazilian Executive Chef Joni Viscardi will be joined by Gemma Tully – previously of Gordon Ramsay – and a brigade of highly experienced sushi chefs.

Sushinho blends Japanese finesse with Brazilian flair and uses the best quality ingredients to create an exciting range of contemporary dishes from each cuisine, without calling for a choice between the two. From Pork Belly and Feijoada and Miso Soup to Butterfish Tataki with Truffle Jelly and Crispy Capers.

The Cutler Bar will provide a cool city hideout regardless of your dinner plans, with an extensive cocktail list including authentic Japanese and Brazilian ingredients and bar food going from moqueca ceviche to expertly prepared sushi.
