Vegethus

This restaurant is mainly vegan, few dishes are not but they are well signed. While waiting you can have a look at the small bookshop inside the restaurant. The owner offers other activities too, all related to vegetarianism, so the place represents a meeting point for vegans. Have a look on the site to see what is the latest news.
The restaurant works just for lunch, close on Saturday. Cheap price.

They have two locations, one in the Center and one in Jardins, the best thing is that you pay 10 Reais (the last time I went there) and you can choose whatever you want on the buffet, including juices and desserts.

You are right, this pizzeria is the best option if you are vegan because they invented option to make a great pizza without using animal product, an example? The creamy cheese (requejao) is made with soy. They offer a “rodízio” on Saturday night with dessert included just for 10 Reais, obviously you can’t miss that!
