OrderHad fried cauliflower with Buffalo sauce and their vegan ranch (which I learned was made with the water used to soak chickpeas) and it was delicious. This was my first time back since the 90's Its great to see it still chugging along!!
Walked from our AirBNB and was delighted with the many options on the menu. We had two vegan appetizers, which were very filling and delicious. In our party of four we should have ordered only two entree dishes but ordered four and had leftovers which worked well for lunch the next day.
I took my husband here for the very first time and he loved it! Great vibes and great food! The Mac and cheese was very flavorful and we both loved the vegan Buffalo sauce that came with the fried cauliflower...
I come to Ipanema all the time! Each time I order something, it's perfect. Their vegan menu is extensive and gives so many options that it takes forever to decide on my order, which is so nice compared to when I have only 1 or 2 options in a non vegan restaurant...
This is one of my favorite places in all of Richmond. Fantastic vegan menu with plentiful options for someone gluten free like myself. Oh and did I mention that the atmosphere and staff are so great, you'll always want to come back. PS make sure you try the specialty cocktails.
