Cacau Brazilian Patisserie — Restaurant in England

Holy Cacau’w!

Saw Sophie_B had rated highly and she’s got good taste, so why not.

Why has it taken me so long? What a fantastic little place for lunch. The menu is really vegan friendly and the owner ‘Hamiliton’ is lovely, as the waitresses.

The food tasted fantastic and we had …

Feijoada £9.90. A trad Brazilian black bean dish with vegan smoked sausage, served with boiled rice, farofa (looks like breadcrumbs but is made from cassava (yuka)) and collared greens. My word, what a plateful… what a delight. The family recipe is the best I’ve had.

Caldo de Feijao £5.20. A trad Brazilian creamy bean soup with vegan sausage served with oregano olive oil croutons. The beans came from ‘Hamilton’s’ home town in Brazil and it really was creamy, thick and very filling.

Vegan Hot Dog - Brazilian Style. £5.30. A hot dog which tasted really really good. The vegan mayo with their homemade sauce and mustard perfectly rounded it off. It’s described as Brazilian but the potato sticks made it more American?! Perhaps a Brazilian staple like potato salad or a side salad?

Vegan cheesy chips £3.90. Not the usual poor quality vegan cheese, but nice runny cheese which had melted properly - guilty sin 😉

Would I go back? Yes … like this week

Would I recommend....

I have recently moved to the North East and have generally found it difficult to get good quality vegetarian and vegan food when eating out. Cacau Brazilian is really a bistro. Starting with coffee offered with every type of plant milk. I had a cappuccino with oat milk and it was gorgeous. I followed that with a vegetarian burger which tasted like a non vegetarian burger. I could have had any number of meals most with a vegetarian alternative. Including choices such as full English breakfast or hot dogs with mustard. Then there are the cakes. Oh so yummy. Don't hesitate. It's...

Went to Redcar just to see the town since i'm on a UK tour. This cafe is probably one of the only thing that kept my attention (apart from the beach and esplanade that very nice and refreshing), otherwise the town is pretty uninteresting Very good brazilian food, delicious cakes and coffee, service is also very nice and the place is cosy and warm ! It's a very nice place to eat for lunch + it's not so expensive (14 pounds or so in total with quite a big meal, a HUGE slice of cake and a HUGE coffee) + a lot of veggie options Would...
