Straits Brasserie is located near the Cathedral area of Lincoln, which is where you'll find cobbled streets and beautiful little boutique shops. I'd advise anyone visiting this restaurant, not to wear heels, as manoeuvering up the cobbles is a great challenge.
As you walk into the restaurant, you realise that certainly the waiting staff aren't Brazilian, although the waiter who served us, could pronounce all the dishes perfectly. I would say the menu is very good, although my companion said they thought the menu a little sparse.
The decor was good, although, at times i felt i had to lower my voice, as the tables are rather close together. Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough to sit on the terrace, but i would certainly try it out there. Service was good, we were served promptly and staff were extremely polite.
For a starter, i had Lula Frita (fried squid with salad and sweet chilli mayo), this was a fantastic dish, they'd actually put bits of chilli in the batter as well, so it wasn't just your bog standard calamari....i ate every last bit! I had a small glass of wine to accompany this, which is by no means small, i was actually glad i didn't order a large glass. For main course i had the XinXim de Galinha which is Chicken and King prawns in Mild Spicy Coriander,Red Palm oil, Peanut & Cashew Sauce served with Rice. If this is traditional Brazilian food, then i want to go to Brazil, pleeeeeaaasse!!!! I thought i may be able to manage a dessert, however tempting the chocolate lovers' dessert sounded, i settled for the Irish coffee, as i had already eaten so much.
All in all, excellent atmosphere, price and fantastic food, well worth a visit!!!
