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.

2nd time here

The food and staff are amazing. Love this place, so close to the beach. Perfect for lunch, I was here on a Wednesday and I didn’t have a reservation but that was no problem.
Staff is friendly and the food arrived pretty fast after ordering.

The gingerbeer is fresh and spicy.

Melhor comida veg do rio

Melhor comida vegana ever. Menu saboroso e super criativo. Unico porém é o preco salgado que nao te permite voltar ao rest com tanta frequencia.

Pros: Menu 100% veg

Cons: Caro

Best Vegan Restaurant in Rio!

On my short-list for one of the best vegan restaurants in the world! Everything we tried was amazing, unique flavors with many fusion dishes, and beautiful presentation. Don’t miss the acaraje and Korean spiced seitan, and ask for the spicy sauce!

The service is great, but the food is very average

We got the mushroom carpaccio and their truffle fries as a starter. The carpaccio was a bit of a disappointment since the taste was very basic and simple. The truffle fries was amazing!
For mains we got the ravioli and their seitan on risotto. The ravioli was way too salty and was definitely missing some green herbs on top and the seitan dish was just all very mushy and not really any different textures in the dish. Both dishes missed some play with colors (it all looked very brown/beige), some balance in flavour and textures.

Our startes came before our drinks - this always makes me a bit annoyed. And actually our mains came before we were done with the started and we still haven’t gotten the drinks yet at this point. A bit too speedy and not a lot of time to enjoy the food nor the drinks.

As a dessert we ordered the lava cake. I am not really sure it was a real lava cake? I feel like the melted chocolate was just added on top of the cake? 😅 but there was again something off with the taste and textures of the cake. The icecream was okay.

All in all, it was waaaay too pricey for what you get and the dishes are very basic (my peak of the evening was the truffle fries 😅), but I enjoyed to be at a full vegan place for once in Brazil 🌱

Pros: Truffle fries , The staff

Cons: Very cold inside the restaurant., Too salty , No flow in the dishes and drinks

I have let the service know about the flow, but unfortunately as our bar makes everything fresh, sometimes drinks may take a bit longer.

All rounder.

Gorgeous interior.
Friendly staff.
Fantastic food.
Even better cocktails.
Amazing atmosphere.

Just wish we had more time in Rio to go back again. We held back on starters as we wanted to try puddings and we were not disappointed. Okay so it may be ‘more expensive’ than other restaurants in Rio or Brazil for that matter, but who cares when it tastes that good. Definitely a lot cheaper than the U.K too.

Pros: Atmosphere , Variety on menu , Cocktails

Amazing upscale spot in Rio

We loved Teva, we ate here for dinner twice. The menu is fantastic, so many options to choose from. I included pictures from both nights :). I definitely recommend getting a bunch of things to try and share. The drinks are great too, and the caipirinha was the best I had in Rio. It’s a really cute spot too. One of our favorite places while in Rio and in Brazil, and easily a spot we will always remember! Still dreaming about the truffle fries ☺️ the prices are a little bit more expensive than everywhere else we ate in Rio, but even at the higher price point, we found the prices to be very reasonable and very worth it, and still a lot lower than what we are used to back where we live. Definitely make it a point to visit Teva when you are in Rio!! It is a must. It’s amazing!!!
