Tasty, homemade vegan Brunch Menu - Edit
The restaurant is a bit hidden (no sign - other inhabitants did not like a sign) in a residential building but its more than worthwhile to put some effort into finding it. Mari and her stuff were very carrying and the menu is great: it offers several traditional Brazilian dishes like the best "cheese" bread we had (Pão de Queijo), also the yoghurt with fruits left us breathless. The concept was: you pay for the whole menu (3 1/2 courses, 120 per person) and you have bottomless coffee, we had to ask for the juice that is also included. The food, the venue, all is full of love - highly recommend this. Through the cozy atmosphere we got in touch with other visitors, so it was a wholesome experience. (This is exactly why I'm on this app).

Edição de inverno - Fondue - Edit
Fui na edição de inverno do Fondue de queijo e chocolate. Foi maravilhoso! Recomendo, sem dúvida o melhor fondue vegano que já comi! Comida farta e saborosa.

Very good and expensive - Edit
Everything I tried there was good or very good. The pão de queijo and slow fermented bread with jams and hummus was the best part. I also really enjoyed their yogurt with granola. The hibisco strawberry juice was also amazing. They serve one dish at a time and it's all enough to get satisfied. If you eat the same amount of food somewhere else with a similar food style, it would cost something similar and probably wouldn't be so good, so it's worth it. All that said, I need to mention it is also expensive (140 reais per person).

Mari Marola’s plant-based perfection: a hidden vegan gem in Rio - Edit
Mari Marola’s all-vegan brunch is a must-visit weekend spot in Rio. Really. Hosted by Mari and her assistant Nattan, it offers a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with exceptional plant-based cuisine. Dishes are made from organic, locally sourced ingredients, showcasing Mari’s creativity and commitment to sustainability. My personal favorites are the "pão de queijo" (cassava cheese bread), butter, and corn biscuits with guava paste, all house-made. And each edition offers new and delicious surprises. With warm, genuine hospitality and impeccable service, it’s an experience that keeps me coming back. Visit anyway you can, you won't regret it.
Read moreO brunch 100% vegano da Mari Marola é um destino imperdível nos finais de semana no Rio. Sério. Tocado pela Mari e seu assistente Nattan, oferece um ambiente aconchegante e acolhedor, acompanhado de uma culinária vegetal realmente excepcional. Os pratos são feitos com ingredientes orgânicos e de origem local, refletindo a criatividade da Mari e seu compromisso com a sustentabilidade. Meus pratos favoritos são o pão de queijo, a manteiga e broa de milho com goiabada, tudo feito na casa. E cada edição tem surpresas deliciosas. Com hospitalidade calorosa e serviço impecável, é uma experiência que me faz voltar sempre. Vá como puder, você não vai se arrepender.

Mémorable brunch in Santa Catarina - Edit
Really surprised by the previous review. We had a 5 course traditional Brazilian breakfast in the most beautiful setting. The warm breads and pao de queijo with homemade jam and spreads were just devine. Not to mention the freshly baked cookies! Such a special brunch all made by the lovely Mari who made us feel very welcome and spoke excellent English. We would recommend this to anyone that appreciates vegan homebaked Brazilian food!

Charming Location | Nice Food | Little Remarks 🌱 - Edit
All in all a nice experience! 🌱💚
Read moreWhilst the portions are pretty small we could order more without a hassle and I understand their philosophy about not wanting to waste food.
It's on the higher end of price but a lot of the products seem worth it. We especially liked the yoghurt and the homemade cheese bread. Also I think the exclusivity is part of the price. You'll be in a homelike environment and it's very charming when the weather is nice and you can sit on the balcony.
The menu consisted of the following:
🥣 Yoghurt with Granola & Fruits
🥖 Cheese Bread and Baguette
- accompanied with jam, vegan butter & hummus
🥐 Tofu Scramble Croissant with Hummus
🍪 Corn Cookies with Guave Jam
🍓 Strawberry Hibiskus Juice
☕ Coffe with plant milk (Filter coffee)
💧 Water
💰 Price was 130/Person | Nov 24
As explained the portion size is small but all in all it's been saturating with all the different things. We liked the experience and can recommend it.
Recommendations: 💚
🪧 Would be great if there is a sign like - "feel free to ask for an extra portion if you are still hungry" in order not to feel like begging
🍅🥭 Missed a little bit of freshness from fresh vegetables & fruits. Maybe that can be implemented somehow
🧈 Increase the size of Jam, Hummus, Vegan Butter
