Good Eats

The employees were very nice and helpful. I absolutely loved the Cauli balls; the maple syrup sauce was so flavorful. The Pão de Queijo were yummy as well 😋. I added a little salt and lime juice to the Arroz com Feijão, as it lacked the flavoring I prefer. Rice and beans are pretty simple, so I like the flavor to be kicked up a notch.

Small portions, big flavor

The cheese bread and Moqueca De Palmito are a must have every time I go, however I have tried every vegan option and they are ALL delicious. I really love how fresh,simple, and healthy everything is here! My only complaint is that the portions are a bit small for the price you pay, but I don't mind paying extra for a well balanced vegan meal.

Pros: Healthy food, Interesting decor, Friendly staff

Cons: A little pricey

Delicious options for Plant-based Diets

We enjoyed excellent choices: Cauli Balls, Kale salad, Vegan root soup, Rice com Feijao, Redeemer bowl. Our first visit to Little Rock and didn’t expect to find many restaurants to accommodate our whole-food plant-based diet - Bossa Nova was wonderful! Would definitely return here.

Pros: Many vegan options , Excellent service

Best vegan Pão de Queijo!

Traditional Brazilian dishes with vegan twist. They also serve meat but vegan options are clearly marked. Customer service was friendly and questions were answered with kindness. We had Pão de Queijo, Brazilian Yucca Fries, and the Redeemer Bowl. So yummy ❤️

Favorite Restaurant in Little Rock

The decor is very vibrant, paintings of Brazil. Playing lively standards by Jobim and Bird. The staff in incredibly polite and professional. Appetizers include maple cauliflower balls, vegan cheese balls, yucca fries; entrees like black bean soup, plate of black beans with rice, salad and salsa, but you've got to try the Redeemer Bowl. Quinoa, beans sweet potato, bean, cauliflower, mango, avocado and tahini. Remember to ask about the hotsauce and peppers. It is a bit on the expensive side, but it's worth supporting this gem of an establishment. Perhaps in the future we'll see a vegan dessert from them.

Pros: plentiful vegan options, top-tier service, music

Cons: same kitchen as meat, no vegan desserts, not open monday

Charming cafe, fresh food

A nice change of pace in Little Rock. Tasty, fresh food that you feel good about eating. Vegan items are clearly labeled. As someone else has noted this is a better spot for lunch as I don’t think anything they offer vegan is filling enough to really qualify as dinner. The cheese balls (vegan) are fantastic.

Good but not a must-go-to

I had the vegan gnocchi with mushroom. sauce- that sauce was insanely good, but the gnocchi was way too soft and needed some salt in the dough. I like that they have multiple labeled vegan options, even appetizers. Fun drinks on the menu. Really interesting decor that's fun, but makes it feel less fancy than the menu. It was pretty good for dinner, but I think it might be better for brunch.

Wow!

The fried veggie appetizer bites with mustard maple sauce were awesome, and the beans and rice were seriously the best I’ve ever had. A handful of vegan choices outside of salad. I saw they’re offering an eggless omelet (GF) for weekend brunch too along with vegan pancakes (not GF). I can’t wait to take my husband and go back.

Pros: Food is great! , Vegan and Gluten Free choices

Cons: Pricey
