Eat Here: Amazonico Asado LunchBy Adam Hassanali
Amazonico situation in the famous Berkley square has unveiled its new “Amazonico Asado” lunch. Available on Saturdays and Sunday from 12pm to 4pm – the Amazonico Asado menu combines a blend of tropical and Latin American flavours.
Priced at a accessible £65 per person, all dishes on the menu will be served in a family feasting style. Guests will begin their journey with nibbles of ‘Pão de Queijo,’ Brazilian cassava bread, and Amazonico’s signature ‘Guacamole,’ with red chilli and crispy plantain.
A selection of Amazonico’s most signature dishes internationally follow, including the Ensalada Amazonica, with mango, avocado, confit tomato, kalamansi citrus, and Aguachile, a Mexican style stone bass ceviche, avocado cream and jalapeño.
There is an additional maki portion on offer from the Nikkei-inspired Sushi Counter, which will change weekly in flavour, emphasising the unique Asian communities which inhabit the Amazon regions.
It is then time for the main event! A feast of Parilla Mixta, or shared grilled meats, are on offer – including Brazilian style grilled rump steak, coriander marinated baby chicken and crispy pork belly. They come with side dishes of broccoli, a mixed salad and grilled sweetcorn.
To end on a sweet note, guests will indulge in bite size Brigadeiros, a selection of traditional Brazilian chocolate truffles, the signature Piña Rostizada, roasted caramel glazed pineapple, corn cake and coconut sorbet, and the new Jari, a white pepper ganache, orange gel and chamomile ice cream.
This brunch is ideal for groups who love their quality of food and want to have an afternoon together. As Mayfair brunches go this might be the best value you will find and this will leave you full
Recommending a restaurant like Amazonico is always tough – not only does it have to be enjoyable, it also has to justify the elevated price tag that fine dining in London entails. Amazonico manages to do this with ease, shouldering its way into a crowded market of Mayfair eateries. Amazonico interiors, service and food will leave you feeling special, but you wont feel like you have paid the world for it either.
