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.

Best vegan restaurant in Rio

The tacos with jackfruit was awesome !
Cocktail with rasberry was delicious and the banofee was sureal.

My non vegan friends loved it (the burger patty was too mushy for them though).

Ramen was good but I think I should have something more "Brazilian".

Updated from previous review on 2021-10-24

Pros: Good food , You can eat outside, Good cocktails

Cons: It's the pricier restaurant I had in Brazil , But I would go a second time if I could 😅

Hi Ambrette, how are you?

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and detail your visit. We are glad you and your non vegan friends enjoyed Teva. Since our menu is seasonal and organic, at some moments we won't have many Brazilian dishes. But I will take that into account on the coming menu change. Hope to see you soon.

Thanks again,

Visited Teva twice on our trip, wonderful food! The jackfruit tacos here are better than the top rated vegan tacos in Tulum, Mexico. Deserts were fabulous and many gluten free options. Nice cocktails as well, would recommend.

Simply wow!!

We got there late on Friday night and it was full. They quickly accommodated us with some new tables outside ...we were a group of 5. We shared appetizers and mains and deserts as well. The spicy Tofu, the mushroom carpaccio and and and ...the apple pie at the end. It was all extremely delicious. The service and friendliness is also five stars. When in Rio, this is a must.

Pros: All of it

Worth every cent!!

We absolutely loved Teva! They were super accommodating, setting up a table for us outside, because it was full inside! The owner/chef (I’m not too sure) came over to our table and had a chat and recommended a few dishes. Everything we tried was delicious, would definitely come again!!

Five stars are not enough!

Teva... what should I say, I LOVED that place. Food is simply outstanding, cocktails are amazing, the staff is super friendly and attentive and the restaurant has a nice style. Would fully recommend everyone to go!

Pros: Menu is fully vegan and everything tastes amazing, Place is highly sustainable (B certification), Extraordinary ideas for vegan food

Cons: Prices are a bit higher (but it’s worth it)

Food good

I went out wirh my mum- wanted good vegan food that she might enjoy too. Over all food was good - the service not so good. Not attentive which at the end killed the mood a bit. And made me just want to go without some dessert.

Pros: All plant based, Freshly made

Cons: Expensive , Service that day for me was not great

One of Rio’s Overall Best

SO. F-ING. GOOD. Eat here even if you’re not veg/vegan. I’m a spoiled New Yorker with access to some of the best vegan restaurants in the world. Honestly, Matthew Kenny could learn something from the plant-based restaurateurs of Rio; Teva being THE one. The food here just worked. Everything was fresh. Everything was flavorful. Nothing left me hoping for more. And, it’s accessible / affordable / comfortable. I would give six stars if the app allowed it.

Pros: Everything is delicious., Inexpensive., Excellent service.

Cons: Difficult to choose just one thing. , You won’t want to eat anywhere else. , Very filling.

Best vegan meal

Without a doubt the best vegan meal we have had during our trip to Brazil! The food was exciting and delicious. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and gave great recommendations to us and guided us through the menu as we don’t speak Portuguese. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back at the end of our trip!

Pros: All vegan, Knowledgable staff, Delicious food

Our food highlight of Rio

We had an incredibly good meal at Teva. The all vegan menu was perfect, and the clearly marked dietary restrictions (specifically gluten-free) was very useful. Jackfruit tacos were especially delicious, but it was all impressively good. Great atmosphere and service. The food highlight of our trip to Rio.

Pros: Food, Menu marked dietary restrictions, Service and atmosphere

Outstanding food, great service.

Eating at Teva was a highlight of our trip to Rio. Everything we ordered was delicious and not the usual vegan choices you see at less imaginative restaurants. The mushroom carpaccio appetizer was probably my favorite. We'll definitely come back to Teva when we return to Rio.

Pros: All vegan menu, Menu changes with what's currently in season. , Super friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Cons: I have to fly to Rio to eat here. Come to the US!

Fantastic experience!

What a complete gem of a place! Very friendly staff, super fast service. I was impressed by the speed of the chefs. I have travelled all over the world and visited vegan restaurants everywhere. This one could easily fit into my top 5.

The dishes were very creative and flavorful. I enjoyed the drink menu, which has some great cocktails. Between my wife and I we came multiple times and tried almost everything on the menu, and was never disappointed.

Pros: Creative dishes, Great drinks , Fast service

Cons: None

I’m sold

After my second visit to Teva, I had to update my previous lukewarm review. As on the previous visit the staff were superb and the ambience beautiful, but this time the food was also second-to-none. After starting with caipirinhas (R$26 each), we ordered the fondue (R$32), the mushroom carpaccio (R$42) and the bean cakes (R$30). I already knew the bean cakes were delicious from the São Paulo restaurant. The fondue was absolutely amazing, with the only criticism I‘d make being that perhaps there should be more than just bread for dipping: some vegetables would be good. However, the carpaccio was what sold me. This beautifully prepared and intensely flavoured dish was a classy vegan rendition that didn’t leave me feeling like I was missing out on taste. Excellent vegan fine dining.

Impossível não sair de lá sorrindo

O Teva é o melhor restaurante que eu já fui, e quando digo melhor, não digo melhor vegano, digo melhor de todos. A batata com queijo de tremoços e o Tiramisu são surreais, e o risotto caprese também. Porém, como é sazonal, pode ser que saiam do cardápio (o que é uma coisa boa, porque dá pra escolher as opções do cardápio de olhos fechados). Não é super barato, mas é mais barato do que se espera um restaurante com a filosofia e qualidade que o Teva tem. Qualquer pessoa que paga por um Balada Mix ou Outback poderiai pagar pelo Teva (e sair mais feliz)

So so good

The food was amazing! I got there right when it opened and I’m glad I did it got so busy! I ordered the vegan Wellington and the brownie and both were super tasty! (And they didn’t take too long to prepare) They also provide “house water” so you don’t have to buy a water bottle and can save the plastic! (Something not a lot of restaurants do) would 100% recommend for a nice lunch/dinner. But it is a rather pricy place to eat. Including tip I spent $90 real

Pros: Super tasty meals, Not long to prepare, Free water

Cons: Expensive
