Casa Tropical

Caipirinha

The national cocktail done properly — fresh lime, cane sugar, and cachaça with real balance between tart and sweet

Pão de Queijo

Classic Brazilian cheese bread — golden, slightly crisp outside with a chewy, stretchy interior from the tapioca flour

Coxinha

Teardrop-shaped fried croquette filled with shredded chicken — crunchy shell giving way to a savoury, creamy filling

Feijoada

Brazil's hearty black bean and slow-cooked pork stew — rich, smoky, and best consumed as a full weekend ritual
