The best - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Lovely atmosphere , Amazing cocktails, and so many to choose from, The banoffee dessert! Omg.

The best in Rio - Edit
Rio is not a great place for vegans, but Teva easily takes the crown of best in the city. They’re dishes are inventive, beautiful, flavorful and created with care. This is higher end vegan dining, but one of only two places in the city I’d ever recommend to a fellow vegan.
Read moreTheir nachos were terrific, the Tempeh and Seitan entrees were delicious. There is plenty on the menu I haven’t tried yet but willing to bet they put the same care in all of it.

El mejor restaurante vegano al que he ido - Edit
La comida de Teva es simplemente exquisita, puedes notar que está hecha por profesionales de la cocina. Me encantó que sus platos estuvieran perfectamente balanceados en sabor y texturas, y que ofrecieran un menú diario para probar entradas, platos principales y postres. Es, sin lugar a dudas, el mejor restaurante plant based al que he ido. Desearía viajar nuevamente a Río de Janeiro para volver a comer en Teva.

Read moreObrigado por nos avaliar e dividir a sua experiência com a comunidade. Aproveitamos os pontos trazidos por nossos clientes como sendo fundamentais para o nosso crescimento.
No teva prezamos muito pela experiência como um todo: ambiente, atendimento, música, comida e bebida. Lamentamos que achou a comida sem gosto e sem sal. Nossa comida é feita totalmente em casa com ingredientes orgânicos e da melhor qualidade possível. Em um cardápio com mais de 25 itens a la carte que muda constantemente, existe sempre a chance de que algumas pessoas não gostarão de um prato ou de outro. Mas é pra isso que estamos aqui, para te deixar feliz! Bastava simplesmente ter requisitado a troca do prato e certamente a sua experiência teria sido outra.
Esperamos no entanto que nos dê nova oportunidade para reverter esta má experiência.
Obrigado,

Worth the hype - Edit
A lovely treat in the heart of Ipanema. The bill came up at R$230 for 3 course with wine. I wish they had more veganised Brazilian staples, but the menu was varied and interesting (albeit a little confusing).
Read moreThe jackfruit tacos were excellent, but super leaky. The GF banoffee was my favourite part of the meal, and the wine was really great too!
Make sure you book ahead, this place fills up quickly. The service was relatively quick and the staff attentive.

Cons: Expensive-ish

Great food - Edit
This has to be one of the best vegan restaurants in Rio de Janeiro!
Read moreThe restaurant is located in Ipanema just a few blocks away from the beachside. They have a rather small menu with a few different international food choices. We really enjoyed their options. We tried the Nachos as a starter and a tofu dishes as well as the cannelloni as our main dishes. Really outstanding was the spice cake as a dessert which was just amazing.
Pros: Completely vegan , Organic products , Amazing desserts
