"Maravilhoso espaço! Alimento feito com muito amor! Salvaram vários almoços nossos! A foto que tirei é um exemplo de refeição pedida para viagem. O menu do dia era Torta de palmito, berinjela e abobrinha defumadas, rabanete, repolho, tomate, broto de feijão, gersal, arroz integral, feijão manteiga. Tudo uma delícia. E um docinho de gergelim com passas de cortesia. Super recomendo. Atendimento carinhoso e atencioso. Gratidão pelo seu trabalho, Wal! Obrigado pelo carinho, Lírio!"

"Restaurante Vegetariano que conta com a simpatia do Wal (que há mais de 40 anos estuda e trabalha com alimentação) e do Lírio. Não existe um cardápio variado. Há uma ou duas opções (adaptações que o Wal faz na hora). Porém a comida é saborosa e bem servida. Não há excesso de sal e você consegue perceber o sabor de cada alimento. Não vende bebidas alcoólicas nem refrigerantes. A pedida é a jara de sucos variados que por um preço baixo serve até 3 pessoas. De sobremesa não deixe de provar a torta de banana. Algumas pessoas vem as vezes, só para levar uma fatia. Aceita também encomenda para levar a tora inteira. O lugar é rústico e agradável. Você se sente no meio da mata."
