First things first: Alfarroba is now all VEGAN. This is a small place near the 'Parque' metro stop in the Saldanha neighborhood. It is only open for lunch and was quite full when we were there. The woman, maybe the owner, was so friendly and helpful. You pick out your main at the counter and it comes with salad and rice. You can get a small plate with one entree or a large plate with 2 entrees (or maybe three). You can pay extra for a juice or a dessert. I had honeydew melon juice...yum. The entree of the day was like a lasagna without the noodles or perhaps more like a moussaka...lots of vegetables including greens chopped finely with a cream and nut topping...so delicious and unusual. There was a seitan dish and a lentil dish that had some Eastern spice influence making it rather exotic. Many people had a coconut pudding topped with mango sauce for dessert. Dessert is extra. We have eaten in most of the vegan restaurants in Lisbon and I found Alfarroba's food to be very clean and fresh. It is easily reached by metro. Only open for lunch.
