Vegetarians won't have any serious problems in Rio. While
beans and rice are always available for basic sustenance,
don't be shy of asking the waiter in any restaurant to have
the kitchen prepare something a little more tasty: if
nothing else, you'll get a plate of fresh vegetables.
Specific recommendations are listed below, but in Centro you
could also try Health's, Rua dos Beneditinos 18;
Greens, Rua do Carmo 38; Le Bon Menu, Rua Araújo
Porto Alegre 71; or Zan, Travessa do Ouvidor 25.
Associacão Macrobiótica
, Rua Emb. Regis Oliveira 7, Centro. An inexpensive
macrobiotic restaurant - busy and, strangely enough, with
some dishes that include fish. Lunch only.
Café Bohemia
, Av. Santa Luzia, off Av. Rio Branco. A bit different: a
decent vegetarian restaurant by day, and at night a mixture
of comedy store and transvestite revue, with a bit of
dancing thrown in; entry is about $4 and it starts after
midnight.

Macro Nature
, Travessa Cristiano Lacorte. An excellent health-food shop
and restaurant (though the menu is limited) in Copacabana.
Closed Sat & Sun evening.
Natural
, with branches in Botafogo (Rua 19 de Fevereiro 118; lunch
only) and in Ipanema (Rua Barão de Torre 171). Not strictly
vegetarian restaurants as fish can be had, too, but the food
is good and cheap.
Sabor Saúde
, Av. Ataúlfo de Paiva 630-A, Leblon. A better-than-average
vegetarian restaurant claiming to serve only organically
grown produce. Inexpensive.
Semente
, Rua Joaquim Silva 138, Lapa. Basically vegetarian, but
fish and even chicken sneak onto the inexpensive East
Asian-influenced menu. Closed Sat & Sun.
