The best

A great little place for our date night, and we loved the whole concept. Great food, amazing cocktails, lovely service. The music was also really great, and we were so happy to find a link to their playlist. Really hope to come back for another visit before leaving Rio, because I want to try more of the menu.

Pros: Lovely atmosphere , Amazing cocktails, and so many to choose from, The banoffee dessert! Omg.

The best in Rio

Incredible and delicious flavors and great staff. We tried the Korean spiced seitan, raviolone and piamontese cutlets (seitan and risotto) and we loved everything. The risotto was the best I’ve had. The portions are perfect.

Great selection

The only all vegan restaurant I went to in Rio and truly enjoyed the diversity of the menu.
I thought the seitan was on the sweet side which is not my preference and the portions are not balanced but other than that a MUST GO in Rio.

Teva is the best. Small restaurant but comfortable! We went to the deli the day before so we knew it was going to be great and it didn’t disappoint. Favours were great and good portion size for us. We were in a bit of a rush to get to something but food came out at a good time anyway

Higher end food

Teva has great burgers, risoto, and a couple of very tasty fried appetizers.
They change their menu maybe seasonally. Three years later and now they have delicious nachos, acarajé, seitan strips, and a delicious tofu main dish. Their fried potatoes with cheese sauce continue to be one of my favorites.
If you like mushrooms you’ll be in luck, as there are mushrooms in many dishes.
Also if you like food with a spicy kick, you’ll really like it. (This seems to have changed, and things feel less spicy now)
They now have a dessert that is gluten free and sugar free. It’s the second that they offer. This panna cotta is especially tasty!
The staff is very kind and attentive and the main chef, Biron, really wants to make sure every customer leaves happy with their experience.




(Please always check their menu, as it changes and even some of the things that I described here are not on it anymore)

Hi Prajna, how are you? Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the community.

I'm sorry you didn’t have the best experience and feels this way about Teva, even lowering your evaluation from a previous visit.

In case the food is spicy to your taste or not to your liking, you can request to change it. A few items are spicy, and those are clearly marked on the menu when so on the subtitles. And because Brazilians don’t like spicy food in general, we keep spice levels low, and only the burger and hearts of palm are on the spicy side. We have a full a la carte menu 100% organic and made from scratch with over 25 options that changes constantly and not even 30% of the menu contains mushrooms.

We strive to offer the best to our clients. We are serious and cautious with what we deliver in terms of quality of the food, ambiance, service and customer care.

We apologize and hope you can give us another chance to change your perspective.

Thanks,
Daniel Biron

Celebrated my birthday here. My non vegan friends weren’t impressed, but me and my partner are both vegan and we loved the food! The best restaurant we ate in Rio.
They even gave us a brownie because of my birthday and it was delicious!
Burgers were nice, the rice a piamontese was tasty. The meatballs dish too. Can’t go wrong here!

exquisita comida, sabores bien logrados y excelente variedad de platos, para el gusto de todos.
el servicio podría ser de mejor calidad, dificultad para explicar los platos y no tan atentos al publico.
es un lugar al que volveria a ir muchas veces.
los precios son elevados en comparación al resto de lugares, pero se compensa con la calidad de sus productos

Pros: sabores, variedad de platos, rapidez de la cocina

Cons: servicio de garzones

Comida Maravilhosa! Best Tofu I've ever had!

Since there were five of us, we got to sample many dishes. What I love the most is having a place with extensive variety that is 100% vegan and 100% organic. Each tofu and Tempe dish was flavored and cooked differently. My friends and I are SOS free for the most part, and they were able to accommodate that using less soil and salt, without compromising any flavor. The tofu that they had to accompany the Burmese dish was the best spice tofu I've ever had.

Pros: Great service, Beautiful juice, Amazing food

Unfortunately some people like the previous reviewer judge us by one dish and one experience only, not really trying to improve his/her own experience by giving feedback onsite nor wanting to be happy. But only criticizing, with no appreciation nor empathy for all it's involved to keep a vast plant forward menu in Rio, with a staff that gets constant feedback for improvement and growth.

Disappointing

Not sure where all these reviews about great service came from, but the service was somewhere between lacklustre and poor on my visit. For a supposedly ‘upscale’ restaurant, I had to ask for water - and after finishing the sole dish I ordered, despite there being around 8 waiters standing around looking bored, had to go inside to request the bill (no one came to ask if I wanted anything else, or the bill - but they did remove the plate the moment I placed my fork down).

In terms of the food - for the price (over A$20) I expected something better - Caesar Salad is all about the dressing, and this dressing tasted of nothing but salt and oil. The shiitake bacon was good, as was the perfectly seared tofu (for an extra R$14). And the tomatoes tasted distinctly off.

The staff were all standing around looking bored - the only time a waiter approached me was not to enquire whether I needed anything, or to make my dining experience more comfortable, but to try to sell me something from his side hustle. Incredible. I’ve had infinitely better service at the less expensive places I’ve dined. Never again.

Pros: Shitake bacon and tofu in Caesar Salad, Open late

Cons: Very poor lacklustre service, Average food, not tasty, some ingredients off, Very overpriced for what it is

Dear Tofulicious, how are you?

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us at HappyCow and for sharing your experience with the community.

I apologize on behalf of my team for the poor and inattentive service. Service is definetely one of our main points of attention and I will make sure to verify what could have happened. Our staff is always instructed to monitor our clients satisfaction and never upsell any items. We are sorry we failed you.

This is after all one of our main missions, to satisfy our clients and make them happy. I have let the manager and the Chef aware of your complaints.

Should you be willing to give us another chance, please let me know your availability by DM (here or on Instagram) or by email on biron@tevavegetal.com.br so that I can make the proper arrangements.
