Just go on happycow.net and put in Rio de Janeiro, filter by Vegetarian Options. That'll give you a better chance for a place that has both options and is cool. The places with options that aren't necessarily 100% vegan are still very good. Source: about 1 year ago

So how can we directly advocate in this situation? - tell the head guy/gal at the bakery that if they start regularly putting vegan cakes up on display to sell to anyone that you will register their bakery with the big vegan resource happycow.net to help direct vegan consumers to them.

Get a subscription to https://cooking.nytimes.com/. I know it sounds crazy to pay for recipes when there are so many free cooking websites and youtube channels, but everything is tested and the instructions are clear for beginning cooks.

NY Times cooking — Another subscription service, but you can create a free account. Also, try refreshing the page and spamming the ESC key on PC right before the prompt to log-in pops up.
