Great for delivery only - Edit
Since they move from the previous address the restaurant isn't a great place to stay in. The new shopping mall is kind of dark and the tables are not comfortable.
Read moreBut if you are looking for something to order at your house, I recommend A LOT, one of the best vegan places in Rio. They have many options of burgers, pasta, pizza, ‘not dogs’, and desserts. And the price is fair. One of my favorites!
Pros: Lots os options, Fair price
Cons: Not a nice place to stay in

Be careful when ordering with Uber eats - Edit
They accept orders from Uber eats and then cancel them, but only after you wait for 15min. Why would them accept the orders then? Not ordering again.

Best pizza! - Edit
I ordered some things from them and things were nice, but the pizzas, OH MAN THE PIZZA was bloody brilliant. If you are ever in their delivery range, get a calabresa pizza and you won't be disappointed! A big pizza costs about 50 reals, which is nice if you compare it with other pizzarias.

My worst experience w/ a vegan restaurant - Edit
My friend ordered for us two cheddar burger with fries.
Read moreThe order only arrived 2 hours later. We asked, at the entire duration of the order, to change the delivery address, as Uber Eats putted it wrong, and the restaurant didn't wanted to change it, nor informing the deliveryman about the problem w/ the delivery address.
The cheddar hamburguer ain't better. The soy meat was all crumbling, tasteless. The cheddar was just a tiny slice of vegan cheddar. The fries were cold. The order wasn't hot. No ketchup or other sauce came, which left the hamburgers dry.
Not to mention that, because of the poor service of the restaurant, which didn't informed the deliveryman about the problem with the address, we had to look for the deliveryman on the streets, at 10:30 pm, in a city where walking on the street at this time is dangerous.
Worst experience I've ever had with an order... and unfortunately it was mine and my friend's first order of vegan food.
Meu amigo pediu para nós dois cheddar burguer com fritas.
O pedido só chegou 2 horas depois. Pedimos durante todo a duração do pedido, para mudar o endereço da entrega, pois o uber eats colocou errado na hora de fazer o pedido, e eles não quiseram mudar. Péssima experiência de atendimento ao cliente.
O hambúrguer é péssimo também. A carne de soja estava toda desmanchando, sem gosto. O cheddar era apenas uma fatia minúscula de cheddar vegano. A batata frita estava murcha. O pedido estava morno. Não veio ketchup ou outro molho, o que deixou o hambúrguer seco.
Sem contar que por conta do mal atendimento da loja, que não falou ao entregador sobre o problema de endereço do uber eats, tivemos que procurar o entregador pelas ruas, isso às 22:30, numa cidade que andar na rua nesse horário é perigoso.
Pior experiência que já tive com um pedido... e infelizmente era meu e do meu amigo o primeiro pedido de uma comida vegana.
Pros: Opções veganas. Vegan options., Fazem entrega. They deliver., A lot of vegan options. Várias opções veganas
Cons: Terrible customer service. Péssimo atendimento, Value doesn't match quality. , Baixa qualidade pros valores.

VEG UP GASTRONOMIA
Read moreWho doesn’t love a good vegan burger? How about a vegan pizza? A chocolate brownie Yup, Veg Up Gastronomia has it all. If you’re in the mood for some nostalgic Brazilian food with a vegan twist, Veg Up Gastronomia is your place!
The location is in Avenida Geremário Dantas, 1400 Rio de Janeiro, RJ or Avenida Geremário Dantas, 1400 - Rio De Janeiro - Rj, 22760-401, Br, SS132 - Praça De Alimentação, RJ 22760-401 more specifically.
I generally notice a difference when ordering dine-in as opposed to delivery in some places as the texture of the food in some regard would be compromised during delivery. However, upon delivery of my order by VegUp Gastronomia I was both delighted and surprised as to the quality and depth of food (additionally portion size).
Veg Up Gastronomia is all-vegan-menu type restaurant. The menu is is simple yet inviting.

As you can see from the photos Veg Up food looks good, I recommend the Vegtudo burger because It tastes so good! Veg Up gives a pretty generous serving of vegan burger patties. Unlike most vegan burgers this place burgers look so much like meat if you gave it to someone who wasn't vegetarian they would have a difficult time telling the difference!
I'm a fan of places that have an all-vegan-menu with food and dessert that you literally cannot tell that the food is vegan.
RECOMMENDED
So far I have had the pleasure of enjoying Vegfish + Fristas, Brownie De Chocolate, Calabresa Pizza, Mousse De Limão, Penne A Bolonhesa. I would have liked to sample more items on the menu if my belly would have allowed it. Actually the Vegtudo Burger is quite filling on it's on and I had to wait awhile to finish my Mousse De Limão dessert.

* Vegtudo + Fritas

Good for fast food - Edit
If what you are looking for is fast food this place is great. Vegan pizza, hot dogs and burgers, plus traditional Brazilian snacks.
Read moreIf you are looking for healthy food, this is not it.
Everything here is made from frozen food that is heated right before serving. Nothing is made fresh.
But for fast food and kind of a diner-like experience this is the place.
Update: I’ve gone back two times since and both times the food was cold. Even though my first experience was good, I wouldn’t go back again at this point.
