Our history and purpose

Nourishing means caring for the body, respecting life, and giving back to nature a bit of what it offers us.

This idea has accompanied Espaço Nutrir for 10 years. More than just serving meals, we seek to create an experience where flavor, care, consciousness, and welcoming can coexist at the same table.

Facade of Espaço Nutrir, vegan restaurant in Florianópolis

More than food, a form of care

From the beginning, Espaço Nutrir was born with a purpose that goes beyond cooking. We believe that food can influence the way we live our day, how we care for ourselves, how we relate to nature, and how we share moments with others.

For us, cooking is a gesture of care. Every choice — from ingredients to presentation, from the environment to service — helps build an experience of well-being, welcoming, and respect.

That's why our proposal is not just about serving vegan dishes. We want to show that conscious eating can also be creative, abundant, colorful, and full of flavor.

A history built over 10 years

Over a decade, Espaço Nutrir grew, welcomed new people, expanded experiences, and reached two units in Florianópolis. Along this path, the purpose remained the same: to contribute to quality of life through vegan, healthy, and welcoming food.

The brand's trajectory was built dish by dish, encounter by encounter, and choice by choice. Customers who arrived out of curiosity became part of the routine. People who were not vegan discovered new flavors. Families, groups, and friends found a space to share moments at the table.

Today, Espaço Nutrir is present in Campeche and Lagoa da Conceição, bringing the same essence to two special places in the city.

ORIGIN

The purpose was born

The initial idea of creating a space dedicated to conscious, healthy food that respects all forms of life.

DEVELOPMENT

The kitchen gained identity

The refinement of recipes, the consolidation of the varied buffet, and the choice to work with fried-free preparations.

CONSOLIDATION

The community grew

The restaurant became part of the routine of residents of Campeche, Lagoa, and visitors looking for a lighter lunch.

INNOVATION

New experiences emerged

The launch of Café Colonial (a traditional bountiful tea/coffee meal) and the arrival of the official partnership with Tea Shop, expanding meeting moments.

PRESENT

Two units, one essence

A strong presence in Campeche and Lagoa da Conceição, keeping alive the same commitment to quality and welcoming.

One of the prides of Espaço Nutrir is welcoming people with different stories and eating habits. Neighborhood residents looking for a healthy restaurant in Florianópolis, families wanting a lighter lunch, tourists on vacation, and people who have never tried a 100% plant-based varied buffet.

We believe that plant-based food doesn't need to be complicated or distant. It can be appetizing, colorful, familiar, and welcoming.

Our Manifesto

"When care reaches the table, the meal ceases to be just a quick break in the day and transforms into a moment of reconnection with health, with the environment, and with what makes us feel good."

From discourse to experience

The purpose of Espaço Nutrir appears in everyday concrete choices. It's in the 100% vegan buffet, in the variety of preparations, in the fry-free kitchen, in the many gluten-free options, in the care for presentation, and in the environment designed to welcome.

It's also in the possibility to choose between all-you-can-eat or pay-by-weight buffet, allowing each person to live the experience according to their hunger, time, and routine. It is also in the Café Colonial, in the meetings, in the celebrations, in the partnership with Tea Shop, and in every new way of transforming food into quality of life and well-being.

Tea Culture

When purposes meet

The partnership with Tea Shop Brasil arose from the proximity between two purposes: valuing what nature offers, promoting well-being, and awakening senses, memories, and emotions.

Tea culture expanded the Espaço Nutrir experience, creating new moments of pause, presence, and care. More than adding a beverage, this partnership reinforces a shared vision of health, nature, and quality of life.

Exclusive Events

On special dates, the menu gains a different experience

The Café Colonial is one of the most beloved experiences of the house. On special dates, the Lagoa da Conceição unit hosts a bountiful table with sweets, savories, breads, cakes, pies, coffees, teas, juices, and other 100% vegan preparations.

More than a gastronomic event, it represents a way to create meetings, introduce the vegan kitchen to new audiences, and transform a common afternoon into a shared memory.

Campeche and Lagoa da Conceição
