This was our favourite meal of the trip and we had some amazing ones. We were famished and so…read moreordered a lot of food, which was much more than we could handle. We ordered: -Guacamole with banana chips: this was a nice appy to start the meal, coming with very nicely seasoned guac and dehydrated banana chips. Great way to start the meal. Large portion. -Two different types of vegan quiche that were both decadent, rich and well-spiced. Great creamy texture and quite filling -Black risotto - one of the best risottos I've ever had. Very creamy, with lots of vegan mozzarella, mushrooms, pumpkin seeds, and plenty of microgreens on top. Absolutely divine. -Baião de dois (vegan). I hadn't tried one of these before, and man was it incredible. The main dish was a rice-based dish with vegan sausage, firm tofu, and veggies with a very complex flavour and wonderful textures. On the side was an incredible garlic-sauteed kale, fried banana, and a sort of polenta-like mash with hearts of palm/jackfruit(? - look up) that was sensational. Our server spoke no English, so we communicated via Google Translate. He was so kind, hospitable and friendly--told us he loved serving us at the end. Can't say enough good things about this place. You must try out Banana Verde.

Honestly, this place would be 5 stars if it wasn't for the SERVICE. I absolutely hate to identify…read morepeople but the older bald man who was our server was so nonchalant and absolutely rude. Not like outwardly aggressive type of rude but the kind of rude where he interacts like he couldn't give a damn about the table, the order, or his guests. I do not speak Portuguese but I try. I try so hard to speak Portuguese to a basic level, enough to order. He wouldn't even try to help me out. I know he didn't speak English (not his problem at all) but usually, I even asked for "agua" and he acted as if he couldn't understand me. I resorted to just pointing to items on the menu (which is fine as well) but then he acted like he could barely lean over to see/read which item I was pointing to or like having to come closer to read what I was pointing at was annoying for him. Honestly, we were so excited to come there and he just lets the air out of the room with his demeanor. One thing that wasn't his fault, the restaurant did not have NUMEROUS items that was on the menu. We ordered various items and multiple people had to select their second and third choices. Sounds small but again, when you don't speak the language (but trying your best), having to pick two and three times on the fly is not a nice experience. Food and drink - 5 Stars Ambiance- 5 Stars Service- 1

The best vegan ice cream I've ever had. Seriously. If I could, I would eat ice cream only here…read more There are lots of flavors and only one of them had gluten. I tasted a few and then chose hazelnut and Tanzania, which is a really dark rich chocolate. Mixing these two tastes like a Ferrero Rocher and I haven't had that combination since I became vegan 4-5 years ago. So good. The pricing is $10 reais for every 100 g of ice cream and they weigh it right in front of you. I thought the pricing was fair, cheaper than some of the other ice cream chains that aren't vegan. The decor in this place is really cool too. They have a chalkboard wall with quotes and drawings, and there are lots of plants all over. There's also an upstairs seating area where you can plug in electronics and work if you need to. O melhor sorvete vegano que eu já comi na minha vida. Se eu pudesse, só comeria sorvete aqui. Tem bastante sabores e só um sabor tinha glúten. Eu experimentei um monte e escolhi avelã e Tanzânia, um chocolate bem escuro. Essa mistura da o sabor de ferrero rocher, que eu não como desde que virei vegana. O preço foi $10 reais por cada 100 gramas de sorvete, que eu achei um preço bom comparado com os preços das sorveterias que não são veganas. Foi mais barato do que um sorvete no baccio di latte. Adorei a decoração também. Tem uma parede preta cheia de desenhos e coisas interessantes. Tem também uma área de sentar lá em cima que tem tomadas para trabalhar se precisar.
