The menu is diverse and caters to different tastes. Stand out dishes: I enjoyed the lavender lemonade. Seitan baits with korean sauce had perfect crunch and it was my first time trying out seitan. Tofu with sesame crust with black rice. It was my first time having black rice but it paired really well with smoky tofu. The texture was great! Compared to the above dishes, i felt aromatic Burmese rice didn't stand out as much. Same with the batata rustica. These classic dishes were good however the menu has so many other interesting choices that might be fun to explore and taste great!

I am not sure what is organic, however the food does taste healthier than normal, with less salt and oil. Pick a plate, pick what you want, and get it weighed before you eat. Pay after. I have been to tons of these kilo type restaurants, love the concept and wish they had these in the states. A great place to come get a bite to eat, catered to the portions you want.

Living year-round at ground zero for the organic/locavore movement it's easy to forget that much of…read morethe rest of the world doesn't have the access or ability to eat similarly. I'd eaten at New Natural's take out counter three times before learning the name of the place then did a double take when I saw the yelp listing describing it as an "organic shop" and "vegetarian restaurant". Travelers hailing from Northern California will find nothing here that resembles any organic shop or vegetarian restaurant they've ever been to. What New Natural is, from my point of view, is a) a bakery serving savory, meatless pastries and b) a buffet serving all sorts of things including non-vegetarian items. All the other Yelp reviews currently focus on the buffet (laid out in a small, very hot room behind the bakery) which I only viewed but didn't eat at. Let me tell you about the bakery: There, for BRL $6 apiece (less than $2 US) I chose many flaky, buttery pastries that easily constituted a meal even though they were consumed from a paper bag while standing in front of the store. Upon each visit they were offering a special - buy 2 get the 3rd free - which made this the cheapest meal one could imagine. Cheap and good and very near to Ipanema Beach. Many shops offer the traditional Brazilian pasteles but these were not those; these weren't greasy or fried. Of the pastries sampled, the fan favorite was one filled with tomato and ricotta. Wash a couple of these down with some fresh juice from the refrigerated case and you can be back on the beach in no time. I can't vouch for the buffet and I don't know about the organic or vegetarian labels. All I know is that this is the place for excellent, freshly made, savory, meatless pastries. They cost a mere pittance and fill you up darned good. If you're hitting Rio on a budget - or just seeking a quick, filling snack - New Natural's bakery counter is heaven sent. Just don't be searching for an American looking organic shop or you'll never find it.

Many of their offerings are vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free and with the steady line of customers, there was high turnover and everything appeared fresh. Juices were being bottled and placed in the fridge while I was waiting. There was a lady who seemed to be the manager helping folks with questions about the meals and delivering orders to tables. The salad is good (albeit dry as there was no dressing in the container) but shout out for the Aloe Verdin juice...reminds me of limeade and sweeter than other green juices I've had. I can see adults and kids alike slurping this down.

Perfect for someone like me who always seems to be rushing around but has a very restricted diet. I got the 'hot caprese' which was grilled eggplant, zucchini and tomato with a bit of pesto, basil and mozzarella. It was so good! I also got the bobo de cogumelos, which definitely filled me up! It was a hearty portion and so tasty! It does not come with rice, so you have to get that separately. This is a great place if you are trying to stay healthy but don't have time to sit down at a restaurant and order. I can't wait to try more items on their menu.

Of course can't pass on a caipirinha de maracujá (passion fruit), this one was probably the freshest of the whole trip!

Their salmon is always perfectly cooked (the salmon kabob with zucchini is really good as well as the flax seed/quinoa crusted salmon). Don't get me started on their lactose/sugar free brigadeiro. It is so good that they often run out by 2pm. It is made from banana and chocolate armargo. They also have vegan/gluten free pão de quiejo made from mandioca...YUM! If you are a health nut, you have to try this place. The prices are very fair as well, so it won't break the bank. If you don't have enough time to sit down and have lunch, this place is good because the food is ready to go. You walk in, pick out what you want and go. For someone in a hurry, this is a fast and healthy option for a fair price.

For entree we got the San Pietro fish and Tenderloin with blue cheese. They were both delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked so was the tenderloin. The highlight of the meal was the dessert hands down: the brigadeiro. It is rare to find brigadeiro that's that delicious. It came in warm in a cup (which is not how it normally comes as - it normally looks like a chocolate truffle). I was able to taste the fresh honey in it even. Simply spectacular!

The food array was super fresh and delicious looking - almost all the options were vegetarian which made being healthy easy. There wasn't a single item I tasted that I didn't like. Quinoa, avocado with tomatoes, okra, etc. Super tasty. Another plus, you can enjoy your meal from one of their shaded sidewalk tables. I had a very normal amount of food - in other words, my plate was not piled high with items. You'd think it was though when I went to pay. My meal cost me R$80. I was shocked. The food may be super great and fresh but the prices are over-the-top abusive. I won't be back unfortunately.

Food is fresh, not much variety. They serve same menu for years if not decades, including desert. Eating a little bit of almost everything will make you feel shocked when you realise the meal costed 75 reais alone, without drinks and service. Juices are really fresh with several options, the mango mouse amongst the desert options is one of the high points of this place for me, with pieces of coconut inside sunk in a tiny cake. I would rather go to one of our popular juice houses in Rio to eat something healthy with a really fresh juice. You will also probably pay 10% of the price for the same satisfaction than going to celeiro restaurant (they don't even have a menu for you to browse what you could feel like eating, when even many juice houses have - read my review for BB lanches). A final statement: I have been there several times before and was never impressed. I went there yesterday and stick with the feeling it is too expensive for what you get. There are tons of options around that would make you happier for you to have lunch, but maybe that's the place to go if you want to try and meet some Brazilian celebrities. Baring in mind the dress code is not formal at all, so you can get your flip flops and go without dressing up for a buffet style restaurant where you are going to pay a very high price for it.
