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.

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

Deliciosos hamburgers veganos em Copacabana

Já provei 3 dos hamburgers do Refugio Veg e todos foram deliciosos: o tradicional Zeca Tofu, o Linguiçudo e o Sweet Onion. Atualmente estou com uma queda especial pelo Sweet Onion e seu queijo vegano derretido que "explode" na primeira mordida e combina muito bem com a cebola crocante que pode acompanhar o combo.

A cebola é realmente crocante e seca, vale a pena experimentar. Outra dica é levar quem ainda nāo é vegano para conhecer o Linguiçudo. Já nâo como carne há um bom tempo, mas me garantiram que é o melhor "simulacro" vegano de linguiça experimentado.

Pros: Totalmente vegano, Comida saborosa, Ambiente agradável

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!

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!
