Nice waiter but with mistakes

You can find good vegan options but the waiter got mistakes, i asked Caipiriha and she brought something else, she confused the dishes also, my boyfriend was upset. She just said with a smile that she got a mistake, like she was not really sorry for this, weird. After that food was ok. The good thing is that it is in the center of the city. The waiter tryed to speak english not so good but she tryed.

Pros: Vegan options, Centric

Cons: Mistakes in the orders

Cons: Missing salt / sauce, Service had to do everything and was alone

Great options and desserts

Ate here in August of 2018. The cakes were delicious. I ate the pizza and various sides. Everything was very fresh. Nice service, great location.

Many vegan options

We had the tofu quiche (yummy), quinoa casserole with Squash veggies (dry as) and the penne with pesto sauce (yummy).
Nice place with plenty of tables and sweet vibe. Vegan flowers on each table 💛
Only massive fail on such conscious space giving coffee with plastic stirring spoons.

Pros: Very quick served, Pasta comes with salad, Large portions

Cons: Plastic spoon with the coffee (?????!!!????)

Good selection, fresh food

Many different options, including sandwiches, quiche, pizza and more. It was difficult to decide! There is something for everyone. The place is nice and cozy.

Great healthy lunch

I had the Monday special, which was a tofu quiche, quinoa burger, and brown rice - pretty healthy, pretty filling, good value. I then had a vegan cheesecake for dessert which was also great. I'll definitely return to try more.

Edit: turns out when I added this, an extra photo appeared, from when I came here six years ago! It was pretty good back then too.

Good place in Copacabana

For a restaurant in Copacabana, especially organic, the prices are really good. Also good portion sizes. We tried the pizza and the omelette, both were pretty good. Was a bit disappointed with the juices. Also the desert is more based one being healthy, rather than giving the classic desert taste.

Great staff, great food

Each day, you can choose from certain daily set menus or pick something from their à la carte menu. The food is of good quality and generally very healthy and wholesome.

The staff / owners however were the highlight of our visit as they were without a doubt the friendliest people we have met on our trip to Brazil.

Clear recommendations are the tofu quiche (it's not available evrry day), the banana cake and of course the pineapple cake. Furthermore, the pizzas (with tofu and not cheese obviously) are also really good, with a delicious super-thin base.

Pros: Affordable, Great food, Awesome people

Cons: The vegetarian element

Saboroso. Comida criativa

Visitei no período noturno quanto as opções são mais limitadas. Houve uma demora em me servir devido aos pedidos de ifood e uber eats que eram feitos por aplicativo. A comida é muito boa. Comemos nhoque de batata baroa e macarrão de abobrinha ao molho pesto. O preço é um pouco salgado (médiade 30 r$ o prato) talvez em razão da boa localização. Funcionários educados. Menu com ícones indicando o que é vegano, vegetariano e sem glúten. Ambiente pequeno e com ar condicionado. Possuí banheiros e lavabo.

Pros: Saboroso , Banheiro limpo, Ar condicionado

Cons: Preço , Demora

Needs some improvement

Very nice juices (whole page to choose from), extremely friendly staff, but quite tasteless food. Everything to eat tastes very dry.

Pros: Lunch combo menus, Extremely friendly people, Juices and desserts

Cons: Inexpensive , Food is very dry

ALRIGHT

Food was good. We were happy eating there but it was not amazing. The food is fresh and looks amazing, but there’s something missing. Maybe more herbs would work?
I’d come back though! I was full and I was happy after.

Pros: Sesame seeds mixed with salt to spice up the food, Friendly people, Nice dessert

Cons: Dessert could be bigger haha, More herbs would be nice

Find another place

Had their pasta [penno with funghi] - tasted like straight out of a can. Couldn’t eat more than half although I was famished.

Then I ordered a pizza to go. Literally the worst pizza I’ve ever had. Wasn’t even a pizza basically a slim sheet of dough with tofu sprinkled on top.

0 flavor, no taste, extremely expensive comparative with other veg places in the area.

The banana pie was good.

Usually I support all vegan friendly establishments but this one is really not worth your time.

Food not overly flavourful

Cute place with great atmosphere, but the food was unfortunately underwhelming flavor wise. A number of desserts I wanted to order were unavailable too.

Pros: Atmosphere , Location, Service

Cons: Bland food, Not all menu items available

Lots of vegan options!

Despite being there for dinner and missing out on the set menu, I really felt I had a lot of options! Nothing brasilian though - it was pasta, risotto and pizza but with a "personal" touch! Will definitely go back for lunch!

small tofu pizza but good sized pasta

Food is average, tofu pizza is small in size and not so tasty. Penne pasta was OK but quite pricey. Maybe it's due to the location. They have English menu which helps as they don't really speak English much. Vegan dessert was OK though.

Pros: some vegan options

Cons: Kinda bland
