Hidden in a nondescript shopping plaza, this tiny, low-key restaurant is worth seeking out if you’re after a decent vegetarian meal. The menu changes daily but features shiitake-filled manioc pastries, green salads, roasted eggplant and the like. On Saturday, the rich, smoked-tofu feijoada always draws a crowd.

Vegetariano Social Club
On Saturday vegetarians can sample Brazil’s signature dish at this Zenlike spot when tofu feijoada is served. At other times, VSC serves a small (10-dish) lunch buffet, while the more elaborate evening à la carte menu features risottos, yakisoba, heart-of-palm stroganoff and other inventive dishes.

Tempeh
Don’t be intimidated by the new-age music. This is one of Centro’s best vegetarian restaurants, serving a wide assortment of flavorful dishes, including soups, pastas, veggie burgers, tabouli, fried yucca, soba noodles, vegan sushi and desserts. The old colonial walls add to the charm.
