The menu is diverse and caters to different tastes. Stand out dishes: I enjoyed the lavender lemonade. Seitan baits with korean sauce had perfect crunch and it was my first time trying out seitan. Tofu with sesame crust with black rice. It was my first time having black rice but it paired really well with smoky tofu. The texture was great! Compared to the above dishes, i felt aromatic Burmese rice didn't stand out as much. Same with the batata rustica. These classic dishes were good however the menu has so many other interesting choices that might be fun to explore and taste great!

When he picked me up, I was actually going to Vegan Burger (a different restaurant), but it was actually shut down when we got there. So the driver offered to drive me here instead. Cutting to the chase, this place is great for vegan burgers! I ordered the Vegbacon combo with a mate to drink. The sauce on the seitan "bacon" was a slightly sweet and fully delicious BBQ, it was a little messy, but that's okay. Crinkle fries were good and so was the mate. All the condiments were in packets on the side, I loved that they had a pepper sauce available. There is seating inside and on the small patio outside. Sit down anywhere and they'll bring you a menu. It's a simple restaurant near the park, and like most places in Copacabana, you can get a filling meal for $4 usd.

For my last meal in Rio De Janeiro, I wanted to find an all vegan place. This place was not too far…read moreof a cab ride away from Sugarloaf, so we decided to come here. A small quaint cafe, decorated by paintings and art, with the warm sun pouring through the windows. This was the perfect setting for a quiet lunch for 2. I ordered the 'vegan' special of the day, which was a full 3 course meal! It started off with a warm and creamy Butternut Squash soup which hit all the right spots and sent warm tingly feelings through my body. The main course was this super inventive and creative Eggplant dish which consisted of a sesame seed encrusted Eggplant Patty over a bed of spiced vermicelli noodles, topped with crisp Nori. It also came with a heaping side of seasoned vegetables. This dish was incredibly delicious and nothing I've ever eaten or seen anywhere else. The patty was crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle, but it tasted nothing like eggplant I've eaten in any other form. The noodles strangely provided a great combination and the nori on top added texture and salty flavor. The vegetables, though seemingly boring on the outside, was cooked perfectly and had a beautiful herb flavor to it. I devoured the entire patty, but barely put a dent in the vegetable. It was a lot of food for one person. And as if I wasn't full enough already, I still had dessert coming! A light and refreshing dessert that looked like tomato soup, but tasted like papaya slushie. Only more delicate and just a slight hint of sweetness. It really was a perfect dessert after the heavy entree. All the food was perfectly cooked and presented beautifully. The price was also a steal for the full 3-course meal. The staff was super friendly and you can tell they really are proud of their cafe. It looks like they might do Open Mic and/or have live music and poetry on certain occasions because there is a mini stage with a microphone in the corner. It would be cool to come back and check that out. Gaia also provides free Wifi for their guests, which was great for me as a traveler to check in, post photos, and look at all the other amazing dishes they cook here. I am now sad once again while writing this, as I am reminded of the fact that I can't find that Eggplant dish anywhere else in the world. If and when I come back to Rio, Gaia is already on my list of places to eat at again!

The table settings are like little overalls and your utensils sit in the pockets. You do not have to be fancy to go here but OH MY the food is FANCY. oh and DELICIOUS. We started with these crunchy tapioca bits... Im addicted. Get these! The first time I got this gnocche made with plantains and basil.... I need this recipe badly. My sister got the brasilian dish faeshawda (no idea how to spell that). The next time she got the gnocche because it was so good and I tried to rossoti. It came in this massive bowl plate that looked like a tiny serving but it was deep and filling. Overall it was really yummy, it just had a taste of smoked flavor of which Im not a fan. The dishes come beautifully plated, flowers on top. Looks good and tastes good. And the servers were attentive. They do not speak english but we made out fine - he brought me toothpicks when he saw me picking my teeth and brought them out when we returned a few later. We had a good laugh. Prices are good too. This is a place I HIGHLY recommend.
