Thought it was pretty solid!

I'm a bit put off by buffets in general, but I was pretty surprised by this one! I wish they labeled vegan vs vegetarian a bit better so I could easily discern which is which. They told me it was all vegan, but reviews seem to hint that's not the case. Either way, the food was delicious and very convenient!

I'd say either label veggie vs vegan, or just take the full plunge vegan, they're 95% there😄(unless Happy Cow is out of date...)

Delicious all-vegan buffet

Had a wonderful lunch here with plenty of dishes to choose from. Pay by weigth. Did not try the desserts (yet), not sure if all of them were vegan so please check!

Decent Vegan buffet

A rare find in Rio, Vegan pay by weight buffet. Relatively inexpensive with plenty of options. I enjoyed the Coxinha de Palmito and guava ketchup very much. The dessert I didn't enjoy as much though.

buffetttt

(not vegan) food is marked as either with/without gluten AND with/without lactose. all dishes appeared vegan but cheese was available as a topping and there were some deserts with lactose as well. the food is very average, nothing special

Me encantó!

Tienen gran variedad de dulces/postres muy deliciosos, comida muy rica y jugos naturales deliciosos y saludables. Solo me hubiese gustado que la comida estuviese etiquetada para saber qué era cada alimento y que también todo estuviese más caliente, ya que estaba un poco tibia/fria la comida.

Pros: Los Gnocchis de callampas estaban muy buenos!!, Variedad de postres muy ricos, La atención es muy buena

Nice spread for options, pay for weight

Grab a plate fill it up, they weigh it and dessert 🧁 separately. Give you a ticket for food and or fresh juice drinks , pay after all done eating.

Good choice for lunch

Really nothing to complain about. Broad selection, delicious salad and also desserts. Adorable!

Some food is a bit bland but that's normal when having a buffet. Kind staff.

Affordable, tastes good

The food was tasty. I only had warm food (Rice with lentils, soy stroganoff, beans, spiced potatoes) and a Cheesecake.

Everything was tasty and affordable, the staff was very polite and helpful (and spoke English which is always nice).

I would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Pros: Tasty food, Nice staff

Not to my taste

Nice buffet style food, but we felt flavours weren’t the best. The desserts looked old and flavourless. We had a brigadeiro pot with strawberries that tasted off.
Food was mainly mushy and not tasty at all.
In the end it was disappointing.

My favourite spot!

I love it here! A vegan buffet that changes daily. The food is tasty and they give you so many options. It’s absolutely wonderful and super tasty. Also, extremely cheap! A full plate only costs about 35 reias. I eat here as much as I possibly can!

Pros: Very cheap considering how much you get, The food’s very tasty and feels fresh and healthy, The menu changes daily and really surprises

Great Buffet Near the Beach

I love this place - the food is flavoursome, the service (as most places) superb - it’s a little more pricey than the other vegan buffets (cozinha) in Rio, and the feijoada is basically just beans, no real flavour or texture - but a lovely place to come when beachside.

Pros: Tasty buffet fare, Excellent service , Close to the beach

Cons: Feijoada not great , Desserts aren’t really worth having, Pricier than similar eateries (but near the beach)

Nice feijoada

The feijoada was really good. It’s a self service restaurant and you pay by the kilogram. #Veganuary

Fabulous variety of main courses

There was a fabulous variety of main courses - delicious hearty food, and lovely salads. Wonderful.

Sadly the puddings weren't as nice as they looked, which is why I dropped one star.

Would definitely revisit!
