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.

Good! - Edit
Very cozy place, menu with very attractive options. I had the hamburger and found it a bit tasteless. For my taste the burger, the potato gnocchi and the rice that comes with the portobello steak lacked seasoning (considerably). I enjoyed the bolinho de baião de dois, the beet ketchup and the tap kombucha is delicious.
Read morePros: Well located, Free water
Cons: Quite pricy

Hi Beatriz, how are you?
Read moreMany thanks for reviewing us. I'm sorry you didn’t have the best experience and feels this way about our concept. We strive to offer the best to our clients. In case the food is under seasoned to your taste or not to your liking, you can request to change it. We have a full a la carte menu with over 25 options that changes constantly, and sometimes some items may just not satisfy ones taste or may just be off. Thanks again,

Gourmet but pricey - Edit
There is a good range of interesting meals and an extensive drinks and cocktail selection. Excellent service. Not sure the prices are warranted but it’s a hip venue. If you’re after less expensive and wholesome options try Spazziano in Ipanema at lunchtimes.

Amazing food and great service - Edit
I just went to Teva for the first time and absolutely loved it there! We ordered the Spicy Tofu, Ceviche, Gobi Manchurian, Eggplant Curry, and Tuscan Salad. The Gobi Manchurian was definitely my favorite dish out of all, followed by the Spicy Tofu. The salad wasn't exactly what I expected as there seemed to be more tomatoes than greens, but it wasn't bad at all.
Read moreThe atmosphere was quite chill and the fact that it opens until late Sunday is a huge plus as many vegan/vegetarian places in Rio don't do that. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a really nice and high-quality vegan meal. This area is one of the safest in the city, too.
Pros: amazing food, great service, opens on Sunday

An absolute must! - Edit
My S.O. and I first visited this restaurant in June of 2017. For the 5 months we spent in Rio, every weekend required a visit to this place; there's a reason why they have earned a spot in an article awarding the "Top 10 Vegan Restaurants in the World"! Absolutely amazing food and service. Would recommend it with all my heart. We tried every item in the menu throughout the months and our favorites are the Spicy Tofu, Spinach Ravioli, Burger and Potato Wedges, Toffee Cake and whatever the soup of the day is -- always delicious and filling.

Loved it!! Real vegan meals! - Edit
We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch of pad Thai R$45 and shiitake mushroom steak with broccolini and potatoes R$45. There was also a deal for R$70 each including an appetiser, main and dessert but we wanted other dishes not included. We also had a chocolate brownie R$30 and sticky toffee pudding R$30. Stunning flavours! Such a relief to finally experience real vegan food in Rio! Pricey but worth it. Highly recommend!

Great taste, great atmosphere and service - Edit
This is the place you want to go out for a great dining experience, while enjoying great healthy, natural food. We had a nice chat with the chef, (fluent in English :) while he lived and cooked in New York as well. He's very passionate about his business being both trendy and eco-friendly (which it really both is).
Read moreThe great thing about his restaurant is that the quality of the food, atmosphere, wine, draft beers, service and kindness is very good. while also they serve fully plantbased food. In some vegan restaurants the focus on being a 'vegan restaurant' can take too much of the focus and have less eye for atmosphere and a good vibe. This place really balances this out nicely. We ate there yesterday. And today :-) Therefore we'd recommend it to anyone up for a great dinner experience in Ipanema, vegan or not.
Pros: Vegan AND tasty, Good atmosphere, trendy place, good buzz
Cons: Nope

Outstanding, nutritious deliciousness! - Edit
Not only is Chef Daniel's food healthful and beautiful, it is also absolutely delicious. Went with three non-vegan friends and we couldn't decide which dish we loved the most! The ambience here is just right: chill, relaxing, intimate and aesthetically delightful. Definitely save room for dessert here too (thank you Chef for your recommendation)! Can't wait to return.

Awesome. Will be back. - Edit
Arrived in Rio yesterday, scared that being vegan in a country that possibly consumes more meat than America was going to be a chore. Thanks to Happy Cow I located this place easily for lunch.
Read moreGreat looking menu with a wide array of options. Some smaller, tapas style plates, and some larger dishes. I opted for the vegan burger, and it was AMAZING. The bread alone was worth returning for.
Staff doesn't speak much English, but they were eager to help as much as possible. Excellent find in Rio near Ipanema.

Delicious but expensive. Bar, not restaurant. - Edit
Entirely vegan, they call themselves a bar, not a restaurant, so most of menu items are starters, food to share with friends. I ate a burger 40BRL (the only one in the menu), drunk a non alcoholic cocktail 20BRL (coconut water, lemon, cardamom and Rosemary) and for dessert a brownie 28BRL. It was delicious, but pretty expensive.

Amazing! - Edit
My BF and I were lately talking about how we very seldom find upscale vegan restaurants, then we came to Rio and found this amazing place, and it's not way too fancy. The food is amazing, we almost ran out of money because we just wanted to eat the whole menu! The service was excellent too.
