Restaurant with Very Nice Atmosphere - Edit
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Rio. The location is super interesting, as if it were a farm in the bustling Botafogo neighborhood. You can sit inside in air-conditioned comfort or outside next to the restaurant's gardens. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the service is always very good. The dishes are very good, and my favorites are the "feijoada vegana" (a typical Brazilian dish) and the "torta de vó zulmira". The dishes are a little more expensive than average. VR accepted. The place is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, on the right. I highly recommend it!
Read moreEste é um dos meus restaurantes favoritos no Rio. O local é super interessante, como se fosse uma chácara dentro do movimentado bairro de Botafogo. Você pode se sentar internamente com ar condicionado ou externamente próximo aos jardins do restaurante. A atmosfera é bastante agradável e o atendimento é sempre muito bom. Os pratos são muito bons, e os meus favoritos são a “feijoada vegana” (prato brasileiro típico) e a “torta de vó zulmira”. Pratos um pouco mais caros do que a média. Aceita VR. O local está localizado bem no final de uma rua sem saída, à direita. Super recomendo!

Condescending treatment - Edit
The mains were quite tasty. We ordered a banana pie “torta” dessert that didn’t taste or look right. It wasn’t a torta, it was just mushed banana that had different colours. Pink, white, purple. Tastes awful so we didn’t even finish it.
Read moreOne of the staff (male) came to us asking why we left the dessert, so we said we didn’t like the taste and it wasn’t what we expected when ordering it, also didn’t match the description on the menu. He was quite patronising and condescending saying that next time we should order chocolate cake or ice cream and that would be more to “our taste”.
Had plans to come back and eat there again, but after that I didn’t came back.
I also was literally told off by the same waiter because I was holding the menu in a way he didn’t liked and could ruin the “paper”.
I had a non vegan friend with me and that was her first introduction to vegan restaurants, she also didn’t liked the way we were treated.
The juices were good, but we ordered the juices that usually come with alcohol without alcohol as we were told we could do that, but we were still charged full price for them. They were almost as dear as the dishes. Didn’t make much sense either.

Good to be there - Edit
Located in a pleasant garden.
Read moreGood food, delicious juices and desserts. In my view, a little overpriced.
That's why I didn't give 5 stars

Os valores são um pouco elevados, a comida em geral é boa e com boa porção. O destaque foi o sorvete artesanal de gengibre, surpreendentemente saboroso.

What do you get when you add ‘vegan’ to Brazilian food? Jaw-droppingly delicious - only tried the feijoada so far, but oh my god.
Read moreThe cheezcake wasn’t great, but I would readily return here to try the rest of the menu.
Pros: Amazingly delicious veganised Brazilian fare, Lovely venue, Friendly helpful staff
Cons: A little pricey, but worth it, Desserts not fantastic

Lugar pra levar um querido. - Edit
Comi tempeh com batatas e bolinhas de feijoada como entrada. Adorei, as temperas são muito bem arranjadas e batata tal saborosa. Nivel inatingível de qualidade e gosto, fiquei com inveja que não sei cozinhar assim.
Read moreSo no fim do atendimento eu vi que tem porçoes para acompanhar os pratos, como arroz e salada, sem eles eu não consegui sentir saciada. Ficam no fim do cardapio.
O dono foi explicando que eles seguem filosofia de comida macrobiotica e que esposa dele, a dona, tava trabalhando por 20 anos, e formou em Boston. Até pode comprar o livro que ela compus.
O cardápio muito bonito.
Pros: Ambiente cheio de plantas, Os donos são veganos expertos., Comida orgânicoa
Cons: Caro

It was decent - Edit
I've been tô multiple vegan restaurants here in Rio, this place was alright. Overpriced and unsalted food. Needs seasoning and the molho Madeira needed more sauce.
Read moreI'd maybe come back to try the lasanha, but they didn't have it today

Great food and in a peaceful garden setting - Edit
Everything home made. I opted for the Brazilian black bean stew and accompanied with greens and farofa. Filling and delicious. I had the special cafezinho poured through (coado) all organic. Top notch for the weary traveler. 5 stars on the food, setting and service.

Lovely place, but with some room for improvements - Edit
The place is very nice, surrounded by plants. We had one dish a la carte and the daily menu. While the first one was tasty and very interesting, the daily menu was just blend.. unfortunately.

Na rua, cercado de plantas, com ótima comida - Edit
O Vegan Vegan tem muitos anos de tradição e clientes fiéis – conquistados não só pela ótima comida, mas também pelo ambiente, um jardim arborizado, calmo, cheio de plantas da Mata Atlântica. Com o perdão do clichê, é um oásis no meio da cidade.
Read moreAs porções dos pratos principais são bem servidas. Mas não gigantes. Então vale a pena combinar com uma salada – o salpicão de cogumelos é ótimo – ou uma entrada – o bolinho de feijoada é recheado com couve.
Pros: Café coado na hora, O jardim + a comida
Cons: Um pouco caro

Restaurante vegano em casa com belo jardim em Botafogo - Edit
As refeições são saborosas e muito bem apresentadas. Outro ponto muito legal é a casa em si: ela possui um enorme jardim cheio de verde e com mesas para os clientes. Um belo refúgio na agitada Zona Sul.

I had the feijoada and pão de alho, and both were wonderful. Very tasty and filling. The restaurant has outdoor garden seating which feels like an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Rio. Staff speaks limited English, but the food is so good that you can't go wrong with anything.

They only had ginger cashew ice cream, which was cold and refreshing but not that great. I think they can do a lot more with other flavors!

Ginger ice cream - Edit
It's on the main street in Botafogo, which seems to be somewhat of a vegan centre in Rio. Note that despite the description here it could only be twenty-five minutes' walk from the metro station if you were winning a slow-walking competition: it is ten minutes. It's in quite a nice little annexe with a lot of windows, and felt pretty cosy and comfortable to eat in on my own. The food was nice but mostly not too exciting: unfortunately, Brazilian food is pretty bland so Brazilian vegan food is too. However, the ginger tofu-based ice cream was really delicious. I found the food in general pretty expensive for the amount I got. The staff hovered over me a bit too much for my liking but other people may prefer this attentiveness. I really appreciate the ultra-vegan name as so many businesses hedge theirs in order not to frighten off animal eaters.
