Our Culinary Journey

"Overachieving Kitchen in an Unassuming Cellar"

Ipanema Cafe is a full-service vegan/vegetarian restaurant and bar on Grace Street 

in the heart of the VCU community since 1998.

​

We offer healthy and delicious vegetarian and vegan eats, amazing desserts, and a great beer & wine selection.

We have the best patio on Grace Street if you're looking to be outside for a while.

​

We hosted a monthly free music series called Live at Ipanema through 2014.

The shows were recorded & photographed — check out the archives.
