Has come a long way, but...

The last time I visited, perhaps it was the time of day but they didn’t really have a lot to offer for vegans. They’ve definitely come a long way since my first visit in 2015 (they now offer fries, classic back-up option) and they do have a vegan option on the brunch menu: chickpea hummus, mushrooms sautéed in olive oil, roasted butternut squash with molasses and macadamia nuts, served with a slice of warmed sough dough bread.

They now offer milk replacements for the teas and coffees (that you have to pay extra for), but at least they offer it. If you’re there a little later in the day they have a hummus and falafel starter, the only main is a vegan vegetable curry and there are no vegan desert options. The one in my photos I was advised was vegan, but when it came to the table, I couldn’t eat is because it was milk based. My boyfriend ate it on my behalf.

For me, the downside was that every vegan option (besides the fries) included or was served with mushrooms, even the vegan curry and I don’t eat mushrooms. The waiters were always very helpful but the kitchen’s lack of flexibility was the most disappointing thing about my visits.

The setting is lovely on a warm day and when it’s overcast, it’s quite calm and relaxing. Each time I’ve eaten here I’ve been with non-vegans, so they were always well catered for. Overall the menu is very seafood heavy, with meat dishes too. Drinks are lovely and cocktails are well made. There are more food options if you’re vegetarian, but just bear in mind the very limited vegan options on offer.

Pros: The setting: outdoor seating right next to the sea

Cons: Very limited vegan options on the menu, No vegan desert options 😞

I destroyed that curry it was delicious

I definitely recommend ordering the “Curry da Terra” it’s delicious. I practically aspirated it. You can order guarana (it’s a soda) and fries too if you want. 10/10

Pros: Curry da Terra was awesome, They let me order a side of fries with it, The seats are right next to the sea

Cons: Watch out for mosquitos outside

Ótimo café

Não chegamos a tempo para o brunch, mas o café era realmente gostoso. Boa opção no Forte de Copacabana.

Pros: Três pratos veganos e bons cafés

Cons: Faltam sobremesas veganas ainda
