It didn't meet my expectations - Edit
It was such a shame that the burger was tasteless because it looked very good. The brownie and the ice cream were ok.

Bad, Reheated Frozen Food - Edit
Sad to give bad review to a vegan place, but highly do not recommend eating here. All the food is frozen and reheated, and our food was not reheated enough so we got inedible, undercooked frozen food.

Great for vegan fast food like flavor - Edit
This place is great because it’s always open late and available. They have a few plates that are just OK because they’re very much frozen foods. Their burgers are pretty good if you’re craving that McDonald’s like flavor and type of food. The fries and onion rings are incredible and are air fried! Otherwise it’s not an every day type of joint.
Read morePros: Fries and onion rings, Vegan groceries, Open consistently and all day
Cons: Frozen food, Nothing fresh

Not bad - Edit
Their products are very tasty, but for a restaurant it feels a little frustrating to see that nothing is fresh. They just get the great frozen products of the band and reheat it for you on an air fryer.

Vegan Snacks in Ipanema - Edit
An option for vegan snacks and sandwiches in Ipanema. I really like the Mr. Vegan Melt burger. Nowadays there are also plate options for lunch or dinner, but I think the snacks are tastier.

Good not great - Edit
There was a good selection of vegan food at reasonable prices and good portion sizes. Service was friendly and prompt. However not the best vegan food I've had.

Pretty bland food - Edit
We ordered the feijoada, 2 different hotdogs and the coxinha.
Read moreThe feijoada was just tasteless, the hot-dogs were edible but also lacked taste. I have had better coxinhas but I still liked the one they sold

Expensive and the food is not great. - Edit
Service was so so. No gluten free options. The spinach coxinha was good, but the burger was maybe the worst I’ve ever had. They do have some good itens as frozen food to go.

Mediocre at best - Edit
I read some good reviews here, it was the only spot open, but was let down big time. At best it’s a mediocre fast food spot that offers some of the most bland food I’ve had in Brazil. The Coxinha that came up on several reviews is by far the worst I’ve had, overpowered by onions.
Read moreUnfortunately, we were also greeted by a giant rat running around our table outside and had to retreat indoors where the ventilation was a bit of a problem. Overall a crummy experience I don’t care to repeat. There are far better places to eat.

Convenient vegan snacks and well-stocked fridges - Edit
We visited twice and tried the hotdogs, coxinhas, and a burger. The food looked nothing like the images on the menu but tasted ok. The store is conveniently located less than 10mins walk from the beach and I'd recommend this as a place just for a light bite.
Read moreThe fridge freezers also stock a wide range of vegan products including ice creams, meat substitutes and ready meals to takeaway although we didn't try any.

Not great - Edit
We really wanted to like this place after having excellent (and friendly) vegan meals at Teva and Spazziano the two days prior on our trip to Rio. Sadly, the food was mediocre, the double melt was tasteless, the service pretty meh (we ordered, they weren't busy, there were three staff members and by the time our food came, we were the only customers in the place) - our food came after about 20 minutes but no cutlery and no drinks (lemonade). I mentioned the drinks, he said coming, I started to mention no cutlery (I got the non-hand food parmigiana dish) but he walked away too quickly, I walked up to counter so I could get a fork before my food got cold and was handed cutlery. Suggestion to owner that he take a trip to Australia (Lord of the Fries) or the US (Veggie Grill) to see how a vegan fast food burger should taste.

This cute little restaurant was a quick stop after a long trip. It filled us just enough and everything we tried was delicious. Staff were lovely and tried hard to communicate with our low Portuguese level.

Perfect for a lunch on the go - Edit
Don't expect high quality food or a gourmet lunch there, it's a fast food joint. The menu is interesting with veganised traditional brazilian recipes, as well as burgers, and tasty desserts too! Limited seating available, friendly staff. They also sell a few grocery items (all vegan) including a vegatella to die for 🤤
Read morePros: Varied menu, Inexpensive , Great location
Cons: Probably not very healthy

Great location but a bit basic - Edit
The vegan steak was well done but the sides are a bit bland in the sense that they could use more flavor or spices. The cheddar for the cheese fries was more like a mayo and the rice could've used some veggies or spices. It's a nice little place though with lots of vegan things to buy to take away.
Read morePros: Great selection, Nice staff
Cons: Dishes are a bit bland
