• Delicious sweets and savouries

As the name suggests, the highlights of this place are items like the cakes and both sweet and savoury things in pastry. They were also cheap for Brazil: generally four reals for a filo parcel, chunky slice of cake &c. I met Brazilian non-vegans who just go there because it is so tasty and a fair price. I also had the fixed lunch one day: it was perfectly nice but not special like the tempting morsels (except bigger than morsels) inside the glass display counter. The first time I went, I asked if everything were vegan and a waitress pointed out a couple of things that were not. I asked the same question on my several other visits and everything was always vegan. I began to wonder if she had made a mistake. Normally, I would withhold five stars from a place selling non-vegan products, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as it was otherwise so good. Anyway, exercise caution, especially if you don't speak Portuguese. One waiter one day spoke English, and a couple of people could speak a smattering of Spanish, but really not to an adequate level for a state almost surrounded by two different Spanish-speaking countries.
