Gorgeous setting and great food

This was the best meal we had in Rio. A lovely garden setting with shelter if needed. The foods was lovely, wholesome and tasty. We had little veg ball starters then a main and then lovely cheesecake and chocolate cake for desert. Also nice alcoholic smoothies and coffee. A really lovely relaxed lunch. It’s quite hidden at the end of a cul de sac with not many signs, we got a uber there, well worth the effort

A taste of Brazil 🇧🇷

The best part about this place is the ambience! So many beautiful plants to admire while you dine. Food was also very good. Staff did not speak English but were more than happy to work with us using Google translate. Message to all gringos: feijoada is meant to be mixed together 🤦‍♀️ We ate each part separately and only learned it’s best mixed after the fact. Didn’t dampen our great experience here at all though!!

Beautiful setting and good food

Really enjoyed our meal here! In a very awesome setting where we were shaded by palm and banana leaf trees.
Food was good and healthy! Felt like the menu was original and different from what you normally might get

Restaurant with Very Nice Atmosphere

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Rio. The location is super interesting, as if it were a farm in the bustling Botafogo neighborhood. You can sit inside in air-conditioned comfort or outside next to the restaurant's gardens. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the service is always very good. The dishes are very good, and my favorites are the "feijoada vegana" (a typical Brazilian dish) and the "torta de vó zulmira". The dishes are a little more expensive than average. VR accepted. The place is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, on the right. I highly recommend it!

Este é um dos meus restaurantes favoritos no Rio. O local é super interessante, como se fosse uma chácara dentro do movimentado bairro de Botafogo. Você pode se sentar internamente com ar condicionado ou externamente próximo aos jardins do restaurante. A atmosfera é bastante agradável e o atendimento é sempre muito bom. Os pratos são muito bons, e os meus favoritos são a “feijoada vegana” (prato brasileiro típico) e a “torta de vó zulmira”. Pratos um pouco mais caros do que a média. Aceita VR. O local está localizado bem no final de uma rua sem saída, à direita. Super recomendo!

Condescending treatment

The mains were quite tasty. We ordered a banana pie “torta” dessert that didn’t taste or look right. It wasn’t a torta, it was just mushed banana that had different colours. Pink, white, purple. Tastes awful so we didn’t even finish it.

One of the staff (male) came to us asking why we left the dessert, so we said we didn’t like the taste and it wasn’t what we expected when ordering it, also didn’t match the description on the menu. He was quite patronising and condescending saying that next time we should order chocolate cake or ice cream and that would be more to “our taste”.

Had plans to come back and eat there again, but after that I didn’t came back.
I also was literally told off by the same waiter because I was holding the menu in a way he didn’t liked and could ruin the “paper”.

I had a non vegan friend with me and that was her first introduction to vegan restaurants, she also didn’t liked the way we were treated.

The juices were good, but we ordered the juices that usually come with alcohol without alcohol as we were told we could do that, but we were still charged full price for them. They were almost as dear as the dishes. Didn’t make much sense either.

Good to be there

Located in a pleasant garden.
Good food, delicious juices and desserts. In my view, a little overpriced.
That's why I didn't give 5 stars

Comida e ambiente agradáveis

Os valores são um pouco elevados, a comida em geral é boa e com boa porção. O destaque foi o sorvete artesanal de gengibre, surpreendentemente saboroso.

Pros: Ambiente agradável, Boa comida

Amazing Food

What do you get when you add ‘vegan’ to Brazilian food? Jaw-droppingly delicious - only tried the feijoada so far, but oh my god.

The cheezcake wasn’t great, but I would readily return here to try the rest of the menu.

Pros: Amazingly delicious veganised Brazilian fare, Lovely venue, Friendly helpful staff

Cons: A little pricey, but worth it, Desserts not fantastic

Lugar pra levar um querido.

Comi tempeh com batatas e bolinhas de feijoada como entrada. Adorei, as temperas são muito bem arranjadas e batata tal saborosa. Nivel inatingível de qualidade e gosto, fiquei com inveja que não sei cozinhar assim.

So no fim do atendimento eu vi que tem porçoes para acompanhar os pratos, como arroz e salada, sem eles eu não consegui sentir saciada. Ficam no fim do cardapio.

O dono foi explicando que eles seguem filosofia de comida macrobiotica e que esposa dele, a dona, tava trabalhando por 20 anos, e formou em Boston. Até pode comprar o livro que ela compus.

O cardápio muito bonito.

Pros: Ambiente cheio de plantas, Os donos são veganos expertos., Comida orgânicoa

Cons: Caro

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

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
