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.

Really nice date night - Edit
Super cute for a date night with excellent, English speaking service. Great cocktails and cool ambiance.
Read moreI would have liked salt on the table. Also the brownie (just the brownie, not the whole dessert) had a very weird taste like vinagre? The desserts were overall very sweet but that is common in Brazil.

By far the best vegan food I've had in 20 years of visiting Brazil - Edit
Rio's not great for veggies. Sao Paulo is in general far better. But what a find Teva is. It's super expensive by local standards - lunch here cost me literally 5x what I paid in a per-kilo veggie place yesterday - but it's really worth a try.
Read moreAmbience is cute, service was understated excellence.
I had a mushroom crostini appetiser, which was immediately the most technically impressive thing I've eaten in Brazil. I'm not saying it's the best tasting, but it really was extremely well constructed and I enjoyed it a lot. Then the seitan main course was the best seitan I've ever had anywhere - it was perfectly crusted and I couldn't believe how well it was made - in an interesting sauce with kind of a tofu-instead-of-egg fried rice, all of which I enjoyed a lot.
But the real piece de resistance was the banoffee dessert, easily the best dessert I've ever had in Brazil. It was like a deconstructed banoffee pie, with warm fried bananas in two styles, a pie crust crumb, two types of sweet sauces, and some sort of ice cream to set it all off. I'm gonna be dreaming of returning just for that dessert for years!
As I said, it was super expensive by local standards - but then again, at £26 for three courses and three soft drinks it was far less than I'd pay in a chain restaurant at home in London. Push the boat out, give it a go - and see if you can find better in Brazil, cos I know I haven't!
Pros: really well constructed food, outstanding banoffee dessert, efficient service and nice ambience
Cons: expensive by local standards, automated tip was higher than the usual 10%

Heh you might see me tomorrow, it's my last full day in Rio on this trip and I can't imagine anywhere I'd rather have my last lunch! Maybe I'll try your lunchtime special tomorrow. I did notice the B Corp thing, I mentioned it in my Google review, very impressive all round.

Amazing quality - Edit
Was a genuine pleasure to eat here, the dishes were actually very innovative and to a far higher quality than your average vegan place. I recommend coming for the lunch special, salad, main and (a very good) dessert for 60R. Changes daily and is great value

Best vegan restaurant in Rio - Edit
The tacos with jackfruit was awesome !
Read moreCocktail with rasberry was delicious and the banofee was sureal.
My non vegan friends loved it (the burger patty was too mushy for them though).
Ramen was good but I think I should have something more "Brazilian".
Updated from previous review on 2021-10-24
Pros: Good food , You can eat outside, Good cocktails
Cons: It's the pricier restaurant I had in Brazil , But I would go a second time if I could 😅

We got there late on Friday night and it was full. They quickly accommodated us with some new tables outside ...we were a group of 5. We shared appetizers and mains and deserts as well. The spicy Tofu, the mushroom carpaccio and and and ...the apple pie at the end. It was all extremely delicious. The service and friendliness is also five stars. When in Rio, this is a must.

One of Rio’s Overall Best - Edit
SO. F-ING. GOOD. Eat here even if you’re not veg/vegan. I’m a spoiled New Yorker with access to some of the best vegan restaurants in the world. Honestly, Matthew Kenny could learn something from the plant-based restaurateurs of Rio; Teva being THE one. The food here just worked. Everything was fresh. Everything was flavorful. Nothing left me hoping for more. And, it’s accessible / affordable / comfortable. I would give six stars if the app allowed it.
Read morePros: Everything is delicious., Inexpensive., Excellent service.
Cons: Difficult to choose just one thing. , You won’t want to eat anywhere else. , Very filling.
