Bom restaurante de comida indiana - Edit
Já fui duas vezes, e em ambas minha experiência foi positiva. Por mais que as opções do menu tenham leite ou manteiga, eles providenciam uma versão vegana se você pedir, trocando inclusive a sobremesa. O atendimento é bom e o preço também se comparar com outros lugares do Centro, já que inclui bebida, sobremesa e chá (os chás ficam na entrada e você pode beber o quanto quiser). Um dos chás incluía mel, mas eles trocaram por melado, o que vejo como uma iniciativa positiva. O ponto negativo é que os veganos em geral só têm uma opção.
Read morePros: Boa comida, Bom custo-benefício, Bom atendimento
Cons: Apenas uma opção vegana

Simple and delicious - Edit
This is a hare-Krishna-run place. You go up the stairs following a path of rose petals and pictures of Krishna.
Read moreThe restaurant upstairs is beautiful, welcoming and with big windows overlooking the streets and square.
You have two meals to chose from of each day. They include and appetizer, the entree and a juice.
The food is delicious.
They do put cheese and milk on some dishes. But most of the meals are vegan.
A lovely place.

Go if you have no other option - Edit
It's a good restaurant, but I don't think it's the best option for vegans in downtown Rio. The day I went it had a vegan option. Good food, but not excellent. Good quantity. Not too expensive. Good service. On the day I went, it was very crowded.
Read moreÉ um bom restaurante, mas não acho nem de longe a melhor opção para veganos no centro do Rio. No dia que eu fui tinha uma opção vegana. Comida boa, mas não excelente. Boa quantidade. Preço não tão caro. Bom atendimento. No dia que eu fui, tava muito cheio, abarrotado de gente.

Excelente lacto-vegetariano no Centro (novos nome e endereço) - Edit
Possivelmente, a melhor opção lacto-vegetariana do Centro hoje. Restaurante tradicional da Rua Rodrigo Silva n. 6 (fica na esquina com a São José), mudou p nome de Govinda para Govardhana.
Read moreAntes da pandemia, era ainda mais legal como opção pois não era raro ouvir uma música com harmônio ao vivo. Quem sabe, nesse retorno, as coisas voltem ainda melhores.
Sempre há dois pratos principais e, junto à salada e à sobremesa, combinados com a bebida, têm-se um excelente custo x benefício.
Uma sugestão seria incluir no cardápio os ingredientes de cada prato, notadamente se há leite e/ou pimenta.
Não deixe de visitar o café Rishikesh logo no andar de cima!
Pros: Boas quantidade e qualidade por preço razoável , Excelente decoração , Localização de fácil acesso no Centro
Cons: Salvo engano, não possui opção vegana, Não há total info dos ingredientes (ex. pimenta)

Indian for lunch - Edit
I sometimes go here for a quick lunch. They usually have two different combinations from which to choose. Reasonably priced and enough to satisfy even my hungry belly. I love the hare Krishna ambiance of peace and tranquility.
Read morePros: In the center with a beautiful, calm environment, Indian food for good price, Includes a little juice
Cons: All Vegetarian, but vegan options are limited

Milk derivatives almost everywhere - Edit
They put ghee (an Indian butter) in everything, so it is impossible to eat veganly every day. :{o
Read moreWCs have words in some Indian language which is difficult to identify "men" and "women".
If you want to take some free tea, ask what of them has milk.
