(Things we're doing and stuff we like)
This week I went to check out the newly opened Brazilian Bar/Restaurant in Knightsbridge Mocoto – designed by San Paolo architects Isa Weinfeld. Walking up the steps into the bar area I walked past typically Brazilian rustic tiled tables, dark wooden chairs with ‘chica’ multicolored cloth covers, even a few banana leaves and a vast range of old cachca bottles. Strong Caipirinhas featured very strongly on the drinks menu. With all this you get the sensation of having been transported to the sunshine right in the middle of Knightsbridge. Add the chilled-out music and the soft evening lighting and your day’s troubles quickly fade away. Having arrived on my own and a little early in the evening. I was kept entertained by the huge variety of magazines displayed in a specially designed magazine rack which stretched the width of the room of this memorable bar.
