Best burgers

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.

Hamburguesas riquisimas!

Chiquito y agradable lugar! Comida 100% vegetal tipo fast food. Tienen varias opciones de hamburguesas. Nosotros pedimos de tofu y de frijoles. Nos encanto ! Gastamos reales 105 para dos personas, propina aparte. Me olvide de sacar foto de la comida.. pero si tengo de la carta.

After 2 weeks of mediocre vegan food we found FAB!

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!
We 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

Lanche delicioso 😋

O lanche é uma delícia, tudo quentinho, crocante e saboroso. Enche os olhos só de ver e ao colocar na boca os sabores agradam muiiito!!
Com certeza virou um ponto de parada quando eu vier ao Rio.
E o lugar, além de muito bem localizado - fácil acesso, rua ampla e transmite segurança, ainda é aconchegante.

Pros: Alimento fresco, Saboroso e quentinho, Localização

Got this delivered

So grain of salt that it traveled to get to me. It was filing and not bad but not my favorite vegan sandwich of all time.

Tasty, friendly, satisfying

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.

Pros: Food taste and purely vegan menue, Very nice and friendly service, Food satisfaction, was super full

Juicy Crispy Tofu Burger!

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!🤗

Pros: 100% vegan fast food, very conpetent staff, quick delivery, good location

Decent

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.
I 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

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.

Melhor hamburgueria do Rio !

O Refúgio Veg é a minha hamburgueria favorita! Os lanches são incríveis e bem servidos, além dos donos serem muito queridos. É um lugar imperdível, ponto obrigatório para visitar quando vier ao Rio!

Its not a typicall pretty restaurant bad food, it has a lovely local, with taste food, and its not overpriced at all.
I got a Burger in combo for only R$65 and in my country a rest. would charge over USD20.
Overall, would reccomend and I am definetly going back to try some more.

Pros: I liked the presentation of the food.

Tasty & Hearty Burger | Good fries | Selling Tofu (1kg)

Not opened yet but is supposed to in the coming weeks. They do delivery only for the time being.

Kind 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!

I was expecting good food due to the hype around the opening, but wow, it was even better than I imagined!
Seriously 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!

Hamburgueres deliciosos!!!!

Foi a 1a vez que fui no espaço novo e achei ainda melhor. O cardápio é bem diverso, com muitas opções de hambúrguer, com os e sobremesa. O atendimento é sempre muito gentil e solícito. Os hambúrgueres que pedimos estavam muito deliciosos, além de super bem servidos (deu para dividir um para duas pessoas). Pedimos o coxurros (ou cochurros não sei), que era uma sobremesa de churros no formato de cozinha recheado de chocolate e estava absurdamente delicioso!! Eu já havia feito pedido por delivery diversas vezes e sempre foi muito bom também. O espaço é bem fofo e, apesar de ter ido num sábado a noite, não estava cheio. Achei os preços também bem razoáveis pela quantidade de comida. E para finalizar, eles ainda têm parceria com Duo Gourmet, o que ficou ainda melhor! Amamos a experiência toda! Super recomendo!!

Pros: Hambúrguer delicioso, Ótimo atendimento, Coxurros!!

Surpreendente

Cantinho aconchegante e tranquilo. Local limpo e discreto. Comida deliciosa e bem servida. Achei que ia encontrar um local só de hambúrgueres, mas me surpreende com os sabores do Refúgio Veg, um dos melhores na cozinha vegana , além de um atendimento muito bom. #Veganuary

Amazing burgers for a great price

I ordered a Red Pepper combo and it was delicious! Well-served and tasty for a good price. It’s definitely a good option for people in Recreio.

Hamburgers deliciosos no Recreio

Foi minha primeira visita ao Refúgio Veg e pedi o combo do Zeca Tofu. O sanduíche estava excelente e as cebolas um capricho à parte: bem secas, leves e crocantes.

Além do bom combo, vale mencionar que também são servidas refeições no Refúgio Veg. Vale à pena conferir nas páginas deles nas redes sociais.

O local é muito agradável com mesas internas e externas.

Pros: Totalmente vegano, Comida saborosa, Ambiente agradável

Absolutely perfect

The best vegan burguer I ever ate. The prices are fair, once the burguers are huge and delicious. The “mate da casa” is my favorite drink, and the burguer “Zeca Tofu” made tofu taste like I don’t event knew it could. Absolutely love it💗

Amazing food

The food is very tasty and relatively cheap. The gnocchi is amazing. They have plates, sandwiches and burgers. The cheese sauces are also nice. Good place to visit. You must try the tofu à parmegiana, this is completely amazing, best dish in Rio.
