Alexandra from Frankfurt

About me I was born in Porto, which was the city I first started exploring with the aim of finding and sharing knowledge about special places – places that you don't (usually) find in the tourist guides. Meanwhile, I have lived in the Netherlands, in Romania and, more recently, in Germany. In each city I have lived I have tried to go where locals go, eat what they eat, live as t...

Cafuchico Frankfurt

Brazilian vibe

""Cafuchico" is one of those small corners in Frankfurt that always brighten my day. This Brazilian cafe/bar is both heart-warming & refreshing..."

I grew up with Brazilian soap operas visiting our living room every night, hence there will always be a soft spot in my heart for this beautiful country.

Cafuchico is one of those small corners in Frankfurt that always brighten my day -- it feels both heart-warming and refreshing. Cafuchico is a café, but it can also work as a bar or as a place for light snacks and lunches. Depending on the weather or on your mood, you can choose from different scenarios, from the lively terrace, to the cozy entrance and the relaxing rooms upstairs. Brightly-coloured and light-spirited, Cafuchico guarantees that you are always greeted with a smile.

So, what's your plan? Breakfast? Why don't you try an amazing Açaí bowl (typical Brazilian dish made of mashed açaí palm fruit)? Or if you prefer more savory flavours, perhaps a Mixto quente (ham & cheese toasted sandwich)? In case you are showing up later in the day and are looking forward to something more filling, Cafuchico offers salads, snacks and soups. Personally, I would suggest that you try a bolinho de bacalhau (Salt Cod Croquette), a coxinha (chicken leg-shaped fried pastry) or pão de queijo (baked cheese roll). You can obviously combine any of these with a natural juice (there are many to choose from), some Guaraná or even with a Caipirinha.

If you haven't been there, give it a go! It is totally worth it!
