  Hi Tipsko, I did go to one tapas bar in Lisbon called Bar52. The tapas served there are Spanish-style, and so there are several vegan options. You can find other Spanish-influenced bars like this in Lisbon, where there are likely to be some vegan choices (for more on vegan Spanish tapas and other vegan dishes in Spain, see my post here: http://www.thenomadicvegan.com/the-ultimate-vegan-guide-to-spain/).
  
  However, there are also places serving petiscos, which is the Portuguese version of tapas, and there I'm not sure you'll be so lucky. I don't know that much about petiscos specifically, but I can tell you that when researching naturally vegan dishes in Portuguese cuisine, I only came across one: sopa de legumes (vegetable soup).
  
  The traditional cuisine is just not very vegan friendly. Nevertheless, many restaurants have added vegetarian and vegan dishes to their menus in recent years, especially in the capital. I'm sure you'll find a place where you are both happy.
