Ovo Cafe

Tucked away in a little mall at the Hyde Park end of Oxford Street, this gay-owned and operated cafe features traditional Brazilian fare—more feijoada than churrasco on a stick—giving expat Brazilians and students from the nearby English language school a taste of home. It’s also popular with the gays, who come to enjoy the tasty Brazilians. Ovo’s Brazilian co-owner, Ralphy Lasmar, used to be an occasional bar-top dancer as well as the principal barman at El’Circo. He makes a mean caipirinha, and other great Brazilian cocktails, to go with your meal.
