Seu Francisco é o fundador do restaurante e vegetariano há 40 anos. Ele é muito atencioso e educado. A comida é maravilhosa. O ambiente é lindo. Recomendo demais.

Comida deliciosa vegetariana (quase tudo vegano no dia que eu fui) por kilo dentro de um Mercado antigo que abriga desde Sebos até peixaria. Mas não se preocupe, o cheiro não afeta e o restaurante tem uma área fechada com ar condicionado. É pequeno e aconchegante com matérias de jornal pelas paredes sobre os donos, muito queridos por sinal.

Muitas opções de comida vegana e tudo muito gostoso. Recomendo a todos, mesmo que não sejam veganos

Comida muito saborosa. Numa combinação quase perfeita entre os ingredientes.

lugar aconchegante e comida deliciosa. vale muito a pena almoçar lá e dar uma volta pelo mercado público

Here began my discovery of Natal's real bounty - its food. Native flavours, textures and scents assembled on a plate with care, unrushed. Delightful! Thanks a bunch for the tip, Nando Yamashiro

Não sou vegetariano, tampouco vegano. Mas, na medida do possível, gosto de almoçar em restaurantes que tenham tal proposta. E o Viver Melhor foi uma ótima escolha! Andando por Natal, pesquisei sobre restaurantes veganos e vegetarianos e me deparei com esse restaurante. Local simples, mas muito limpo e com ótima comida! As opções são saborosas e em uma quantidade bastante adequada. Super recomendo!

Foi o primeiro restaurante que eu fui em Natal. Fiquei com uma ótima impressão. Comida caseira vegetariana deliciosa, saudável e saborosa. Acompanhado de um suco natural de caju, muito bom!! Tem um preço justo e um atendimento ótimo.
