Popped here for a quick lunch on one of those strange intensely sunny and yet rainy September Lisbon afternoons to find a friendly place offering a nice selection of filling meals. Plenty of outdoor seating with room for around 24 tightly packed diners inside. They have around 5 available main dishes of which at least 2 are, or can be vegan. They may also have additional dishes not specified on the menu which can also be served if requested. You can pick one main meal or a combination of 2 or 3 smaller portions served with a salad ranging in price from €5 to €7.50 for the 3 dish combo. Today we had the lasagne and aubergine stuffed with mushrooms (which can be vegan without the yoghurt topping) on plate 1. On plate 2 shredded carrot and tofu and soya meatballs (which can also be vegan if served without the sauce). All four were of a good standard and very filling. To finish I tried the apple and summer fruit crumble which really was very appetising indeed. Sparkling water to rehydrate and an espresso to finish off made this a most enjoyable lunch. I would not perhaps choose Bio as an evening dining venue but that's only because In Lisbon there are many glorious vegetarian dining experiences to be had closer to the city centre.
