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.

Highly recommend

This is a more expensive option but very worth the price. The portions are large and flavorful. This makes an excellent way to treat yourself to some high end vegan food. Definitely get the hearts of palm pastel!!

Great for a date!

I’ll give them 4 stars because my bfs sandwich was a thousand times better than my plate. It is a bit pricey considering that specially my plate consisted of items that are well…. Usually very cheap.
The pastel I wanted to try but it was too small for the price and decided to try pastel elsewhere.
Basically a chic place. Dessert was good but could have been better I think.
Staff was amazing, and the place was also very nice and cozy.

Pros: Ambiance, Great staff, Amazing burger/ sandwich

Cons: A bit pricey for the food that’s served

Cozy place

The atmosphere was very nice and welcoming, I would go back just for the cute decor and sweet vibe! Al I would ask is more spices! All of the good flavors would’ve been enhanced if they’ve used more spices!

Pros: All vegetarian menu, Vegan options, Good drinks

Cons: Too little spice, Little expensive

Perfeito

O Teva é um restaurante especial, é uma experiência.
Dessa vez, como de costume, pedi a limonada de lavanda e as batatas trufadas de entrada.
Pedi a Paella, que é nova no cardápio e gostei bastante. Meu companheiro pediu o escalope à piamontese com molho madeira e amou. Pedi também uma kombucha. A sobremesa foi excelente também. Uma torta de noz pecã com calda de cacau e sorvete de baunilha, uma delícia! Ele bebeu um café e eu um chá de capim limão pra fechar. Tudo demais!

Upscale vegan spot in a lovely intimate date night atmosphere. Menu features unique dishes you won’t find anywhere else. The quality over quantity portions will have you craving for more, so order extra if your wallet allows. The dessert menu is heavenly.

Really nice date night

Super cute for a date night with excellent, English speaking service. Great cocktails and cool ambiance.

I 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

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.

Ambience 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.
