Der beste vegane Burger - Edit
Auch wenn wir relativ lange warten mussten, war der Burger unfassbar gut mit dem leckersten veganen Cheddar! Der Ort ist total süß designed und es gibt Klimaanlagen. Die Menschen die dort arbeiten sind total nett und sprechen auch Englisch. Die Natürliche Guarana war auch ein Genuss!

No Service - Edit
I was starving, having partied hard the night before for Carnival. Ordered a starter, burger, and side. Got my starter, and reminded them about my burger and side. Finished my starter and reminded them again. After 20 mins of me sitting at an empty table the waiter asks "Are you ok?" and I remind him I'm still waiting for my burger and side. At this point, it's been 35 minutes since I ordered, and many people who were seated after me already had their burgers. The waiter spoke to the kitchen, they hadn't started making it, so he told me to wait 15 more minutes. By this time I was late for an appointment, and cancelled my order. The waiter wasn't apologetic at all, if anything he was quite rude about it.

Best burgers - Edit
I came here with my non vegan boyfriend and we both ordered a different one. The tofu one was amazing, and my boyfriend also really liked his burger.

After 2 weeks of mediocre vegan food we found FAB! - Edit
We called in here on 28th September having been touring round Peru, Argentina and now Brazil. I’ve eaten a fair amount of chips and salad over the last 2 weeks, so finding Refugio Veg was an absolute delight!
Read moreWe had the sweet burger and the Linguiçudo burger with a side of fries and onion rings to share. Washed down with a couple of Heinekens and Wheat beers. Best food we’ve had in South America! The melted cheese was amazing and the garlic mayo was delicious. 10/10. A plus was the owner spoke great English too and was lovely to chat to. If you’re in the area give it a try. You don’t need to be vegan!
Pros: Fabulous tasty food, Reasonably priced, Lovely staff and clean premises

Had a cheddar burger with onion rings and cheese sticks. Wouldnt have needed all, was super full. Taste was great, highly recommend the House Mayo. Everything ist completely vegan which I Love. The Guy was super nice and friendly. Different patties, cool menue (different burgers and finger food). If in Rio again will probably eat there again too.

Juicy Crispy Tofu Burger! - Edit
Noms! Those burgers are so yummy. A juicy sauce combined with a heavenly crispy tofu patty! So good! Fries and a beverage on the side costs 15 Reais extra. Fries and Guaraná were good too. Staff is super friendly and spoke all the languages!🤗

Decent - Edit
I got the sweet cheese burger. I just couldn't resist the idea of deep fried heese. I enjoyed the burger and the deep fried gooey creation.
Read moreI would like to come back and try other flavors.
I do, however, think the restaurant is overpriced.
It's around 41 reais JUST for the burger, then 15 for fries and a small drink .
I also liked the bun being red
Pros: Sweet cheese burger
Cons: Overpriced

I want to support vegan restaurants, but this was not good - Edit
I really like to support vegan restaurants when I travel. I was brought the wrong order, they were very nice and tried to fix by adding things to my burger, but the taste was not great. It was a bit pricey for Rio and what you get. There are better options.

Tasty & Hearty Burger | Good fries | Selling Tofu (1kg) - Edit
Not opened yet but is supposed to in the coming weeks. They do delivery only for the time being.
Read moreKind owners and I especially loved that they offer raw Tofu. Even 1 kg for an affordable price in comparison to the supermarket. Ideal if you have rented an apartment and want to cook.
The burgers were quite good and I especially liked the fries. The onion rings weren't my thing. Bit too dry and the panade just wasn't mine.
All in all worth a visit if you're craving soul food and skip the healthy stuff for another day.

Absolutely delicious! - Edit
I was expecting good food due to the hype around the opening, but wow, it was even better than I imagined!
Read moreSeriously delicious.
The cheese sticks might be one of the best vegan items I’ve ever had.
The sweet cheddar burger, with the breaded cheddar that just amazingly drips out as you bite into it….. wow.
All incredibly good!
