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.

Best vegan restaurant ever - Edit
This place is a gem! We went here 4 times during our trip. Everything was absolutely delicious. Strongly recommend the brownie! Best one I’ve ever tasted. Also, every dish was a hit and the service was great

Good but don't go with too much expectations - Edit
I searched for the best vegan restaurant in Rio and decided to go in this one. Checked the menu and chose the 'special of the day', which was 95 reais. The 'bean salad' was ok, the cupuaçu dessert was good and the main course was half just ok (brocoli rice and french fries) and the parmegiana seitan was very good. Not sure if the issue was the option I chose or the fact that I went there with kinda high expectations. I would go back there to try something different but wouldn't get the same thing. Maybe going with less expectation can help.

Huge portions, a little pricey - Edit
Near Ipanema beach, a small trendy vegan restaurant. Some staff spoke English and as menu in English there were no issues. Lovely quirky setting. We had the ‘cheese’ platter to start and this was amazing. Then the seitan which was huge and we could not manage even half of it so no room for desert which was a shame. We had a jug of sangria which was quite pricey and didn’t taste very alcoholic so overall a lovely experience and well worth visiting but maybe a bit over priced for Rio

Teva I love you - Edit
Was most looking forward to this restaurant on our trip to Rio and was not disappointed. Was able to communicate with staff with a little help from Google translate. They were very helpful and attentive. I got the seitan dish and ate every bite. Got the tiramisu to go and had it for breakfast the next day. Five stars all around ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Higher end food - Edit
Teva has great burgers, risoto, and a couple of very tasty fried appetizers.
Read moreThey change their menu maybe seasonally. Three years later and now they have delicious nachos, acarajé, seitan strips, and a delicious tofu main dish. Their fried potatoes with cheese sauce continue to be one of my favorites.
If you like mushrooms you’ll be in luck, as there are mushrooms in many dishes.
Also if you like food with a spicy kick, you’ll really like it. (This seems to have changed, and things feel less spicy now)
They now have a dessert that is gluten free and sugar free. It’s the second that they offer. This panna cotta is especially tasty!
The staff is very kind and attentive and the main chef, Biron, really wants to make sure every customer leaves happy with their experience.
(Please always check their menu, as it changes and even some of the things that I described here are not on it anymore)

Hi Prajna, how are you? Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the community.
Read moreI'm sorry you didn’t have the best experience and feels this way about Teva, even lowering your evaluation from a previous visit.
In case the food is spicy to your taste or not to your liking, you can request to change it. A few items are spicy, and those are clearly marked on the menu when so on the subtitles. And because Brazilians don’t like spicy food in general, we keep spice levels low, and only the burger and hearts of palm are on the spicy side. We have a full a la carte menu 100% organic and made from scratch with over 25 options that changes constantly and not even 30% of the menu contains mushrooms.
We strive to offer the best to our clients. We are serious and cautious with what we deliver in terms of quality of the food, ambiance, service and customer care.
We apologize and hope you can give us another chance to change your perspective.
Thanks,
