Highly recommend - Edit
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! - Edit
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.
Read moreThe 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

Perfeito - Edit
O Teva é um restaurante especial, é uma experiência.
Read moreDessa 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!

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.
