We grew up in a restaurant environment, where cooking together was always natural, learning recipes passed down from our ancestors.At CA Downtown, we showcase these traditions, using locally sourced ingredients. From sourdough, brioche, and croissants—all made through slow fermentation—we carefully select suppliers who share our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
All our sauces, from hollandaise to red fruit coulis, chocolate ganache, and pistachio foams for our pancakes, are made in-house from our own recipes. Our waffle and pancake batters are crafted from scratch, ensuring authenticity in every bite. The slow-cooked meat reduction adds a rich, traditional Portuguese depth of flavor, while our signature spicy shrimp delivers a unique and unforgettable taste.
We strive for the same level of quality across all our offerings. Our bowls feature seasonal fruit, fresh smoothies, and natural juices. We also take coffee seriously, specialising in light to mid-roast beans, creating a unique experience for true coffee lovers. And let’s not forget our A1 ceremonial-grade matcha, sourced directly from Japan. We serve it with homemade strawberry coulis or 100% pure pistachio, for a perfect balance of flavour and authenticity.
