Coxinha, Risole, Empada: The Guide to Brazilian Snacks from Sabor Do Brasil in Cahors
Why These Three Snacks Make Sabor Do Brasil's Success
When we talk about Brazilian street food, three names always come up: coxinha, risole, and empada. At Sabor Do Brasil, on Parc Tassart in Cahors and in Pradines, Patricia prepares them fresh every morning according to the real recipes from her childhood in the State of Pará. These three little wonders are not just about taste: they are a direct journey to the flavors of Brazil, no detours.
The little secret is often a detail kept precious within the family. Patricia cooks her snacks the way her mother taught her, with the same care, the same love. And you can taste it from the very first bite.
The Coxinha: The Must-Have of Cahors
The coxinha is THE Brazilian snack par excellence. Imagine a little golden pocket, crispy on the outside, melting on the inside, filled with savory chicken. At Sabor Do Brasil, you'll find it by the unit (1€) or in packs of three (3€).
What makes the coxinha so irresistible? It's the perfect balance between texture and flavor. The pastry is light, almost airy when you bite into it. The filling is shredded chicken prepared with care, seasoned just right. In Cahors, customers come back for it: they buy a pack of three once, and become loyal fans.
The Risole: The Crispy One That Satisfies and Delights
The risole looks like its cousin the coxinha, but it has its own personality. With its elongated shape and impeccable golden color, it's an invitation to crunch between your teeth. Patricia offers it at the same price: 1€ each, 3€ for three.
The Lot discovered the risole gradually, through the food truck's appearances at events and deliveries. It's the perfect snack to munch on: not guilt-inducing, really tasty, and so convenient. Whether you're in Pradines or Cahors, the risole slips into your pocket like a discreet but delicious friend.
The Empada: Sophistication in a Bite
The empada is a step above. Literally, it's a little Brazilian tart, filled with shrimp, meat, or cheese, depending on the version. At Sabor Do Brasil, it costs 3€: three euros for a real wonder of puff pastry and savory filling.
If you want to impress someone, give them an empada. It's more refined than a coxinha, without being any less authentic. It's street food that commands respect.
When to Enjoy Them in Cahors and Pradines
Sabor Do Brasil is open Wednesday through Sunday at Parc Tassart in Cahors. In Pradines, it's your fixed anchor point. You can also request delivery: Patricia cooks your snacks fresh and brings them to you hot.
The beauty of these three snacks is that they pair well together. Get a coxinha with a maracujá juice (4€), a risole with fresh Guaraná, an empada as a starter before a picanha na brasa (18€). Or simply a pack of three coxinhas to snack on the way: at Sabor Do Brasil, there's no wrong choice.
A Journey Since 2023
Sabor Do Brasil has existed since August 2023. From day one, Patricia's philosophy is simple: cook like back home. These snacks are not a compromise with French taste, an adaptation to sell. They are the real recipes, the true flavors of Brazil, brought to the terraces of Cahors and Pradines.
The food truck's Google rating: 5/5 out of 4 reviews. Customers say "too good," "I recommend it," "very good." It's for a reason. Each coxinha, each risole, each empada bears Patricia's signature, born in the State of Pará, defending the flavors of her childhood every day.
