After Leblon, it's time for the demanding public in Pinheiros, São Paulo, to be served by Teva, a restaurant that serves vegetables prepared based on national and international cuisine.
- Vegan philosophy: know and ask your questions
The idea is that even entrecôte lovers (in French, it refers to a noble cut of meat) forget about meat and fall in love with vegetables - without resorting to dishes that imitate those of animal origin. Anyone who thinks a broccoli is a simple broccoli, when tasting the one served at the Teva restaurant, will discover that this little crucifer can be a gateway to a delighting experience.
- Seasonal fruits are more economical and nutritious
Proof that taste is the priority is the fact that the majority of the clientele are non-vegan.

With gastronomic training specializing in 100% vegetable, organic and gluten-free cooking in the Natural Gourmet Institute from New York, Daniel Biron serves grilled broccoli at charbroiler with spicy sauce. But preparation is not the only care taken to better serve customers. The vegetables are fresh, organic and acquired from a small local producer, encompassing the concepts of locavorism and seasonal gastronomy - practices that are part of the most sustainable kitchens.
Depending on the time of year, Teva serves - among other dessert options - Brownie with 70% chocolate syrup, vanilla ice cream, coconut caramel and caramelized pecan nuts. All of this is gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, egg-free and with minimally refined ingredients.

The drinks served also reflect the socio-environmental concern of the partners, who do not serve anything in a PET bottle. From juices and coffees to draft beer, a drink that stands out is the tropical lavender kombucha served straight from the tap, slightly sparkling and super refreshing.
