• Cosmopolitan and lively

Every time me and my wife visit Porto we look up the new vegetarian restaurants that seem to be popping up everywhere in Porto and Matosinhos! We promptly singled out daTerra as one of the new restaurants to try out because of the excellent location very near São Bento metro and train stations. On Saturday night I walked past the restaurant three times before and after participating in the MEO Urban Trail and daTerra had a very warm and inviting atmosphere, and was always almost full of very lively people. I think these were the things I enjoyed the most when we finally had lunch at daTerra the following day. The restaurant has a very agreeable decoration and atmosphere that matches the cosmopolitan nature of the city and of the many tourists that gathered there to have a replenishing meal. The food itself was varied and well presented but did not stand out greatly from other vegetarian buffets that we have tried. Everything was quite tasty, though, and the staff was professional in an inconspicuous but friendly way. At the end of the day, daTerra reminded me and my wife how easy it is to have very pleasant meals in the northern region of Portugal, even if we're vegan!
