It was decent

I've been tô multiple vegan restaurants here in Rio, this place was alright. Overpriced and unsalted food. Needs seasoning and the molho Madeira needed more sauce.

I'd maybe come back to try the lasanha, but they didn't have it today

Pros: Good salad and olive oil

Cons: Lacks salt, Lacks seasoning , High price

Great food and in a peaceful garden setting

Everything home made. I opted for the Brazilian black bean stew and accompanied with greens and farofa. Filling and delicious. I had the special cafezinho poured through (coado) all organic. Top notch for the weary traveler. 5 stars on the food, setting and service.

Lovely place, but with some room for improvements

The place is very nice, surrounded by plants. We had one dish a la carte and the daily menu. While the first one was tasty and very interesting, the daily menu was just blend.. unfortunately.

Na rua, cercado de plantas, com ótima comida

O Vegan Vegan tem muitos anos de tradição e clientes fiéis – conquistados não só pela ótima comida, mas também pelo ambiente, um jardim arborizado, calmo, cheio de plantas da Mata Atlântica. Com o perdão do clichê, é um oásis no meio da cidade.

As porções dos pratos principais são bem servidas. Mas não gigantes. Então vale a pena combinar com uma salada – o salpicão de cogumelos é ótimo – ou uma entrada – o bolinho de feijoada é recheado com couve.

Pros: Café coado na hora, O jardim + a comida

Cons: Um pouco caro

Restaurante vegano em casa com belo jardim em Botafogo

As refeições são saborosas e muito bem apresentadas. Outro ponto muito legal é a casa em si: ela possui um enorme jardim cheio de verde e com mesas para os clientes. Um belo refúgio na agitada Zona Sul.

Pros: Totalmente vegano, Ambiente agradável, Gostoso

Tasty food in a soothing environment

I had the feijoada and pão de alho, and both were wonderful. Very tasty and filling. The restaurant has outdoor garden seating which feels like an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Rio. Staff speaks limited English, but the food is so good that you can't go wrong with anything.

Pros: Tasty, filling food, Many options, Good prices

Cons: Food is made to order, so can be slow to come out, Staff speaks limited English

Acho que hoje o restaurante está bem melhor, com mais opções de pratos no cardápio. O local hoje está bem melhor também, comparado com o local anterior. Hoje também tem mais opções de bebidas…..

Excellent Restaurant

It is a wonderful restaurant that offers two types of meals each day, with feijoada every Wednesday and Saturday. You can choose soup or salad for starter and it is included in the dish. There is the option to choose the large or small dish. Excellent option for those who live or are in Botafogo. The service is excellent.

Take out only

They only had ginger cashew ice cream, which was cold and refreshing but not that great. I think they can do a lot more with other flavors!

Good food and service

I liked the starter and the main dishes options, but didn’t like that much the desert. I asked for the middle size and it was well served. A little bit expensive for what it is.

Pros: Good food, Cozy service

Cons: A little expensive , Didn’t like the desert

Ginger ice cream

It's on the main street in Botafogo, which seems to be somewhat of a vegan centre in Rio. Note that despite the description here it could only be twenty-five minutes' walk from the metro station if you were winning a slow-walking competition: it is ten minutes. It's in quite a nice little annexe with a lot of windows, and felt pretty cosy and comfortable to eat in on my own. The food was nice but mostly not too exciting: unfortunately, Brazilian food is pretty bland so Brazilian vegan food is too. However, the ginger tofu-based ice cream was really delicious. I found the food in general pretty expensive for the amount I got. The staff hovered over me a bit too much for my liking but other people may prefer this attentiveness. I really appreciate the ultra-vegan name as so many businesses hedge theirs in order not to frighten off animal eaters.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Rather expensive

Food here was authentic, but nothing special

Very friendly staff here. This would be the place to come if you're looking for authentic Brazilian food made vegan and you're in the area, but it's nothing to travel out of your way for.

i ate here looong ago and it was really boring

I can't say if it has improved now that being vegan is more common, but was one of the first veggie places is Rio and it was sooo boring. Back then being vegetarian meant that you loved salads and tofu and that's all... I hope it got better.

GOOD good GOOD

I know this restaurant for quite some time now and the quality of food and service are always the same! very good. The service is super great compared to the miserable Rio service standards. Mains are different every day and you can choose the amount. the desserts are very good and the combinations of juices really interesting.

A little bland

Yes, vegans strive to maintain good health, but we can also use some tasty treats now and then. :) For me, this place is a bit too much on the healthy side. The day's offerings (a tofu quiche and feijoada) tasted bland to me and my fiancé. I realize we come from the US where food is more spiced, but the meals were plain and seemed to be very health-conscious. On the other hand, if your options are either this or an omni place in Rio, I'd definitely go here, as it can be tough to explain your diet to unbeknownst Cariocas. :) It was also a very small portion for the price. If you're looking for vegan in Botafogo, head to Refeitorio Organico!

Pros: You don't need to explain what vegan is :)

Cons: Price is a bit steep, Bland flavors

Nice vegan food with a very health-conscious feel

I had an excellent lunch here today, particularly enjoying the chickpea roulade stuffed with broccoli and almond sauce. I also felt that it was pretty good value for the portion size and quality of food, especially in Rio de Janeiro. However, I did think that, for the soup and the main course at least, the healthy food focus was taken a little too far and some of the food was a little bland. However, the chocolate mousse dessert was excellent and made up for almost everything.

Pros: Amazing dessert, Good value and quality food, Friendly and helpful staff

Cons: Starter and main course a little bland
