The best - Edit
A great little place for our date night, and we loved the whole concept. Great food, amazing cocktails, lovely service. The music was also really great, and we were so happy to find a link to their playlist. Really hope to come back for another visit before leaving Rio, because I want to try more of the menu.

Lovely for dates or mates - Edit
Cozy little spot with so many great options. My partner and I have been here 4 times whilst on holiday and have tried many of the dishes, so we can confidently say it is brilliant! We keep going back here because the food is so tasty and every time we are torn between going back for our favourites or trying something new, either way it's a win. Highly recommend a trip here if you're anywhere near.

Overall quite good - Edit
We called in twice for dinner, whilst in Rio for a week. This is a fully plant based restaurant in Ipanema. Everything we had the first time was excellent.
Read moreTo start we had black eyed pea fritters with creamy peanut sauce. We also tried the nachos with black bean & corn chilli.
For mains we had moussaka made with grilled zucchini and eggplant layers, mushroom and lentil bolognese & potato Bechamél. We also had a tomato tartare.
The desserts were a flambéed banoffee & some banana churros.
Very good food and drinks and the total bill was not very expensive.
We went back a few days later and everything was good apart from a tofu dish which was quite bland.
Overall a good place for vegan food.

Best Vegan Restaurant in Rio - Edit
An incredible experience. In the city of Rio de Janeiro, it is undoubtedly the best vegan restaurant (one of the best also among vegans and non-vegans), in addition to being one of the best restaurants in Rio to have drinks (one is better than the other). The starters are amazing (I love the “acarajé” starter) and the main dishes even more so. The experience is great inside the restaurant, with a very well thought out background playlist and a service that is really above average in Rio de Janeiro. The prices may seem higher, but I understand that for the high vegan gastronomy, numerous options of drinks, good music and excellent service, I think it's right there. I usually go to the restaurant to celebrate something important. It became my reference.
Read moreRealmente, uma experiência incrível. Da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, sem dúvida alguma é o melhor restaurante vegano (um dos melhores também dentre os veganos e não veganos), além de ser um dos melhores restaurantes no Rio inteiro pra tomar drinks (é um melhor do que o outro). As entradas são incríveis (adoro a entrada de acarajé) e os pratos principais mais ainda. A experiência é ótima dentro do restaurante, com uma playlist de fundo muito bem pensada e um atendimento realmente muito acima da média do Rio de Janeiro. Os preços podem parecer mais salgados, mas entendo que pela alta gastronomia vegana, inúmeras opções de drinks, boa música e excelente atendimento, acho que é por aí mesmo. Costumo ir no restaurante pra comemorar alguma coisa importante. Passou a ser a minha referência.

Expensive but good - Edit
Teva is a cute little restaurant in Ipanema. Their menu is seasonal, and they have some different options for lunch or dinner time. They are all interesting and creative, with a variety of fancy ingredients. I had the Escalope à Piamontese, which is a seitan schnitzel with mushrooms on top of fries and rice with cashew cream and mozzarella. It was quite tasty and the portion was big, but too expensive, in my opinion. The dessert was even more overpriced, despite also being delicious. I had the Banoffee, and there wasn't too much of anything on the plate, which was a pity because everything was really tasty. Anyway, it was a great experience overall. It is noticeable that the food is prepared with care and that the ingredients are of high quality. The service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend visiting Teva when in Rio, just come prepared for spending a lot of money.

The best in Rio - Edit
Rio is not a great place for vegans, but Teva easily takes the crown of best in the city. They’re dishes are inventive, beautiful, flavorful and created with care. This is higher end vegan dining, but one of only two places in the city I’d ever recommend to a fellow vegan.
