The excitement of diners at Straits Brasserie in Lincoln is palpable, because it seems to be a real find whether you look at it in terms of the food or even the ambience. Formerly known as Viela, this restaurant brings two unlikely cuisines together, Brazilian and modern British, and it is this sense of novelty that embellishes the enjoyment of the customers. Friendly service and a laidback atmosphere also contribute to the satisfaction levels considerably.

All the dishes are prepared using only fresh locally produced and sourced ingredients and might feature a traditional Lincolnshire stuffed chine with homemade piccalilli while the Brazilian side emerges with the exotic xin xim, chicken and king prawns cooked in cashew and peanut sauce. This award winning restaurant also offers a feasting menu where you can enjoy from a selection of hot and cold starters including bread and olives followed by a main course where you can choose from five spit roasted meats carved at your table. Straits is perfect for celebrations, big or small.
