Cultural Tip
In Brazil, the word 'lanche' covers everything from street‑food pastries to bakery items. Vegan options have exploded in recent years, especially in larger cities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, where you’ll find plant‑based versions of traditional snacks such as coxinha, pastel, and pão de queijo. When asking for vegan items, it’s polite to say 'sou vegano(a)' to clarify your dietary restriction.
