Affection all around - Edit
It’s a “simple” place, not the best design/ comfort, but the love and care they have for what they do seems to transpire all around.
Read moreThere were two gluten free options for cake and the cassave, coconut and ginger was warm, literally, and comforting in every bite. Perfect pair with a dark, slightly bitter, espresso. Perfect!
They chit chat with regulars, and show care for homeless people that come by. It’s service and friendliness at its best!

Super good! - Edit
Stopped here for lunch one day when in the Leblon area. Service was great. We had the empanada and empadinhas (delicious!!), the big salad, and the mushroom burger. Everyone around us got the plate of the day (not pictured) which also looked amazing, I just didn’t want hot food bc it was so hot out, and the big salad hit the spot. They also have breads and other baked goods as well as sandwiches to grab and go. Definitely a great all vegan spot in Rio!

Café da manhã incrivel - Edit
Comi um sanduíche delicioso, os paezinhos de "queijo", bolo e suco e estava tudo uma delícia. Minha família foi comigo, não veganos e amaram. Deu 25 reais por pessoa e saímos muito satisfeitas. Atendimento show também. Amei ❤️

Marvelous Palm Heart Pizza and Great Service - Edit
One of the best and coziest restaurants in Rio de Janeiro. The owners are (at least were) from Minas Gerais, so the service has that human warmth of the “mineiro” from the countryside. Any food option will be very honest. I highlight the palm heart pizza, I think it's wonderful. And for dessert, I insist that you order any option (especially if you have cake), the experience will be marvelous.
Read moreUm dos melhores e mais aconchegantes restaurantes do Rio de Janeiro. Os donos são (pelo menos eram) mineiros, então o atendimento tem aquele calor humano do mineiro do interior. Qualquer opção de comida será muito honesto. Destaco a pizza de palmito, acho maravilhosa. E de sobremesa, insisto para que peça qualquer opção (principalmente se tiver bolo), a experiência será maravilhosa.

Great value for money - Edit
Vida Bistro is an amazing vegan restaurant with plenty of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I had the lunch special and it was so much food! Salad, rice, beans, veggies, and a delicious soy dish. Everything was really tasty. After that, I was completely satisfied, but I really wanted to try one of their cakes, so I took it to go. It was also quite good. I would definitely recommend visiting Vida Bistro when in Rio, it is not an expensive restaurant and the food is delicious!

Simplesmente excelente - Edit
Comida gostosa, ambiente agradável, atendimento excelente. Pode ir sem medo que é sucesso. Pelo que entendi eles servem opções diferentes todos os dias então não procure cardápio, apenas vá e surpreenda-se. O preço das opções principais não é barato mas é ok, paguei uns R$40,00 no prato individual muito bem servido. As sobremesas são um show à parte, apesar do preço um pouco mais salgado.
Read morePros: Porção farta, Pratos diferentes todos os dias, Muita variedade

Very good, very healthy. - Edit
I really enjoyed this place. The food, the people, and the vibe. I had no idea what to order, so I asked the owner/manager to “just feed me.” She fed me well. I got the daily special (no idea what it is called) and it was very tasty and satisfying. I had her do the same with dessert. I got a chocolate-coconut cake. Very good.
Read moreI got here at 1:30 and the place was full, so I’d say it’s very popular.

Great vegan food, cooked with love - Edit
Vida Bisto is one of these places where you can feel the food is made from the heart. They use fresh ingredients, creating every day two main dishes to select or a big organic salad.
Read moreOf course you can order also from the menu.
I like the fresh vegan and gluten free pizza very much, also the gratin with palmito.
If they do palmito as a day option I never can resist. A fresh juice with the great Brazilian pineapple mixed with mint makes it perfect. Never too much and always a good variety of healthy food.
For me it is more a great and healthy Lunch and afternoon restaurant than a bakery.
Pros: Great food that varies every day, Friendly staff, great owners , Great price for the quality they offer
