A good experience - Edit
Tricky to choose which vegan restaurants you go to in Lisbon when there is so much choice. Definitely need to book, was full on a Sunday evening. Staff were lovely and friendly, lots to choose from on menu. Tables are quite close together as its not a big place, you can see chefs working which is interesting. Tasty food but a bit too seitan and tempeh dominated for me, I prefer veggies and pulses to mock meat. My partner ordered the seitan steak and it was just that swimming in gravy with separate fries, needed veg.
Read morePros: Always a joy to have a whole menu, Friendly staff, Not expensive
Cons: Tables really close, Lots of tempeh and seitan

Very nice experience - Edit
The restaurant is completely vegan. The people who work there are really nice and the food is great! Besides the menu in the restaurant, they have an online menu so that you can see pictures of the dishes. The QR code for this is on the menu.

Plant based Portuguese food - Edit
(Visited February 2026)
Read moreDown a flight of stairs inside a building so a little hard to find but a lovely setting for a restaurant which felt fancy inside with attentive waiters.
Fully vegan and lots of classic Portuguese dishes to choose from - the dishes felt heavy so do not expect healthy food but I think this is how the originals are supposed to be given one is called the "heart attack"! The pasta I had was lovely although the Seitan it came with was average.
A nice experience!

Particularly nice desserts, best suited to vegan meat/fish replacement enjoyers! - Edit
Vegan Portuguese traditional dishes, quite faux-fish focused. I’m personally not the most massive vegan meat replacement enjoyer (seitan steak etc), so would probably be more suited to someone who enjoys that style of vegan cooking. It was still pretty good for what it was though. The atmosphere was very nice and the service was pretty quick. The desserts were particularly nice (we had orange crème brûlée and pistachio panna cotta)

Nice restaurant - Edit
We enjoyed our meals here (the concept of the traditional portugeuse food veganised is great!) but weren't blown away by the food - it was just nice. The cheese board seemed a little pricey for the size it was. It's got a nice, smart interior inside though and the staff were really friendly.

Thank you for giving us a try and for sharing your thoughts! 💚
Read moreWe’re glad you enjoyed the concept, atmosphere and especially the friendliness of our team. We’re sorry the food itself didn’t leave a stronger impression and we’ll also take your feedback on the cheese board into consideration.
Hopefully another visit and a few different dishes might manage to surprise you a little more 😊
Warm regards,

Worst vegan restaurant food we have ever had - Edit
After three fantastic vegan meals in Lisbon, we were excited to try another top-rated restaurant: 26 Vegan Food Project. Not only was this meal disappointing, but it was probably the worst vegan restaurant food we have ever had in our 30+ years of vegetarian and vegan dining. I ordered the Portuguese Tapas (a vegan take on traditional Portuguese dishes such as octopus salad, fried cuttlefish, and sardines), and my husband had the Portuguese “Steak” with cheese sauce and a fried “egg.”
Read moreMuch of the food seemed to be either soaked in vinegar or oil. The fried “egg” tasted of pure sulfur. I really wanted to spit it out, but this is a very nice-looking restaurant, so I just swallowed quickly and guzzled down my water. My husband’s fake steak was smothered in a white fake cheese sauce that resembled nothing in particular because it had a generic, fatty-oil flavor. The only food that was edible was the fried “cuttlefish,” which were simply fried mushrooms, and the “crispy roots,” which were just French fries and sweet potato fries.
We had originally planned to stay for dessert but, after experiencing our main meal, we were very worried about how the desserts were going to taste. If you are in Lisbon, do yourself a huge favor and skip this place at all costs. If you want a vegan take on traditional Portuguese food, go to Kong. Or, for a real treat, go to Legumi Vegan Sushi and order the sushi boat.
Note: I would give this place 1-star only for the atmosphere and decor but Happy Cow's minimum rating for fully vegan and vegetarian restaurants is 2 stars.
Pros: Elegant, upscale dining room
Cons: Tasteless food, Food heavily soaked in vinegar or oil, Does not resemble Portuguese food
26VeganFoodProject
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that our food was so far from your personal taste, particularly after you came to us with such high expectations.
Read moreOur concept is built around reinterpreting Portuguese dishes and flavours through an entirely plant based approach. The components of our dishes, including the “egg”, sauces and alternatives to meat and fish, are developed and prepared specifically for our menu. We understand that these interpretations will not resonate with everyone, but we’re sorry that none of them worked for you.
We will certainly take your comments regarding the balance of acidity, oil and flavours into consideration and share them with our kitchen team.
We’re glad that you at least enjoyed the space and atmosphere, although we wish the food had given you a very different reason to remember your visit.
Warm regards,
The 26 Team

An amazing dining experience - Edit
I can honestly say that every dish was right up there with the best I have had. The soup of the day was delicious (potato and garlic), the Castro & Marfim was out of this world (every element was a taste sensation) and last but not least the orange Crème Brûlée was a perfect finisher. I was in heaven. I should point out that this feedback is on the second time I visited this week!
Read moreMy partner had the same courses as the first time as it was so good!
On top of this the staff were very friendly and attentive on both occasions. Thank you.

Pretty bland and uninteresting - Edit
I don't really write bad reviews but this just really wasn't great at all. Doing as a PSA 😬 I had all of the tapas so a range of dishes and every one of them was boring, tasteless, bland and not worth eating let alone paying for. I felt like some of the mushrooms were the marinated kind you get in a jar. I had the peanut and chocolate tart afterwards and it was ok but I think that's because those two things are always just nice. Staff were lovely and a nice restaurant to look at but just very disappointed with the food.

Thank you for giving us a try, Nicole.
Read moreWe’re sorry the tapas didn’t hit the mark for you. Flavour is very personal, but hearing that none of the selection stood out is certainly disappointing for us too.
We do want to clarify that our dishes and components are prepared in house, so the mushrooms aren’t the jarred variety you mentioned. That said, we appreciate the honest feedback and will share your comments with our kitchen team.
We’re glad our team and the restaurant itself left a better impression, even if the food unfortunately wasn’t for you.
