Delicious

Everything I ate there was delicious. The kinda stuff that makes you enjoy every bite. I ate a vegan chocolate cake that was out of this world.
They have a good amount of options. Some of them weren't on display but the staff will tell you all the options they have if you tell them you're veg. Only downside is that.. the savoury dishes were a bit heavy on the salt.
As for the price: not cheap, but not really expensive. Fair, I guess.

Pros: TASTY

Cons: A bit too salty

Great restaurant with many vegetarian options

Amazing food. Most things are vegetarian and labeled. Expensive, but you are paying for the quality.

Melhor comida vegetariana estrita em Recife

O Papaya é referência para quem quer se alimentar bem e ser feliz em Recife. Comida excelente, ambiente agradável e preço justo. Meu restaurante preferido na cidade.

Full of vegan options

Pay-per-kilo buffet offering a wide variety of vegan options of salads, hot dishes and desserts. It has vegan versions of regional dishes, such as moqueca and sururu. Delicious vegan options and amazing desserts, but it is crowded (and the replacement is not fast) and pricey.

Pros: Good taste, Variety, Clean ambiance

Cons: Crowded, Pricey, Slow replacement

Excelent options, though pricy.

Since one of the owners went vegan and the other remained omnivorous, the food line represents their compromise: half vegan, half meat-based. Within their vegan options, the traditional salads don't surprise much, but the other vegan section, composed of hot dishes, demonstrates creativity and resourcefulness for an emerging veg*n clientele like Recife's locals. My favorite: fake shrimp pie, fake crab pie, banana beef, and their exquisite lentil-based meatballs. They also serve vegan deserts, and their rich chocolate cake draws in quite the crowd.
Don't forget to stop by their patio for some free espresso after you've paid or while you're waiting for someone!
