Must be there! - Edit
Together with my boyfriend, we added this płace to the list of our favourite vegan restaurants we have ever been💗i can’t find any downside! First of all, delicious food. Big portions, healthy options (gf lasagne won everything 3), cosy atmosphere, really nice, profesional and helpful staff. One little disadvantage can be less space than needed, so many people are doing reservations and you can have problem with finding a seat. We also ate oreo-peanut butter cake, that’s in regular menu, and I was in heaven😄Highly recommend, must be when visiting Lisbon!

Cons: Little space

Great food - Edit
Tried this place a couple of times and the second was much better than the first! Would definitely recommend getting the meal of the day over one of the sandwiches as the price difference isn’t much and the sandwiches are quite small but still tasty. Even better if you get it with a yummy soup. Come early or make a reservation as it gets busy!

5*! - Edit
We arrived without a reservation and were lucky for a delay; it's a restaurant where the reservation is required - or, at least, highly recommend. We ordered two soup and two dishes of the day and they were both delicious: super well seasoned and well served!
Read moreI ordered the soup of the day (which I can not remember what it was) and a burger. The highlight of the 26 Vegan Food Project is the sweet potato chips ... the best chips that I've ever eaten!

Chegámos sem reserva e tivemos sorte de um atraso, pois de outra forma parece-me ser um restaurante no qual é necessário reserva. Pedimos sopa e um prato e eram ambos deliciosos: super bem temperados e bem servidos!
Eu pedi a sopa do dia (que não me lembro qual era) e um hamburguer. O destaque de honra do 26 Vegan Food Project vai para as batatas doces fritas... das melhores que já comi!

Amazingly delicious dishes and very nice atmosphere - Edit
First of all: it's an entirely vegan restaurant. Everything is vegan so you can just choose anything you want. They make really delicious burgers and sweet potato fries with vegan mayo. Ao26 offers wine and beer as well. The location is great and the place itself is very nice. It's a popular restaurant so a reservation is recommended.

Delicious especially the soup! - Edit
You'd better make reservation because the restaurant has only few tables but is full very fast! And you understand why after trying the soup!!!
Read moreWe took the lunch menu with sweet potatoe soup and main dish with quinoa balls and sweet potatoe puree for me, soup and lentils burger for my cousin sweet potatoe fries with vegan mayonnaise. Everything was really delicious (balls a little too dry, maybe?). We highly recommend this place if you like tasty vegan food with seasonal product! (And try the soup, even if you don't feel really hungry, really!)
Pros: All veggie dishes
Cons: Expensive for Portugal

Nice restaurant - Edit
I had a decent cheese sandwich and split sweet potato fries. Cappuccino was excellent. They were out of the soup and main dishes when we went around 4pm which was disappointing, but overall a nice experience!
Read moreAo26veganfoodproject
Unfortunately the soup and dish of the day are only available during lunch hours (12pm-3:30pm). From 3:30pm-6:30pm we only serve the remaining options on the menu: sandwiches, salads, burgers and desserts.

Paving the way for vegan restaurateurs - Edit
I was very impressed by Ao 26. Firstly me and my company arrived very late without having booked a table and although the kitchen was going to close in 30 mins they offered us a table that became free. Great service! All of the waiting staff were friendly, attentive and spoke excellent English.
Read moreI opted for the vegan Francesinha as I felt it would be fun to try a traditional dish. It was a generous portion of different kinds of veggie meat in cheesy bread which sat in a kind of tomato soup. Very tasty and filling! It came with home made potato crisps served with herbs and sea salt. My company had the walnut risotto which was delicious!
The interior is stylish and modern but with a warm, inviting feeling. This is a forward-thinking, passionate restaurant which is serious about its food. I would love for something similar to open in Stockholm where there are mostly cafés and buffet style restaurants.
It is definitely recommended to book well ahead as they are packed every night! I'm so glad we were lucky enough to get a table by chance.
Pros: Great food, lots to choose from, beautiful interior, friendly staff
Cons: One needs to book in advance

A vegan MUST for Lisbon - Edit
This place is AMAZING 😍 meat eaters and vegetarian friend said it was all good! We had the seitan burgers and lentil burgers with sweet potato fries and vegan mayo - all absolutely delicious. The desserts (crème brûlée - I know?!?! - and peanut butter Oreo pie) were both heaven. Also huge fan of the local beers😄- I’d love some traditional Portuguese options on the menu perhaps (suggestion not a complaint!)
Read morePros: Lovely service, INCREDIBLE food , Best seitan burger I’ve had
Cons: Specials menu isn’t all day , Olive portion was a bit small (but also only €1!)

Bestttt restaurant I’ve ever been to! - Edit
Great lovely staff who were really helpful in recocomendations. Went there everyday for three days straight because it was so good. I would definitely recommend getting the chef specials because they are packed full of flavour and massive portion sizes. Told some non vegan friends to go and they were equally amazed with the quality and taste. The desserts are also unreal, so good!
Read morePros: Great menu and good selection to suit everyone , Very well priced for what you get , Good location easy to find
Cons: Sometimes had to queue for long at peak times

Un délice ! - Edit
Nous avons profité d'un séjour à Lisbonne pour pousser la porte d'un restaurant vegan : Ao 26 fut un très bon choix !
Read moreNous avons testé trois plats et trois desserts : un délice ! Variés, originaux, savoureux, bien assaisonnés et très bien présentés. Un régal !
Le plus : un service parfait. Un grand merci à la jeune femme qui s'est occupée de notre table pour sa patience (dans un anglais parfait, elle a pris le temps nécessaire afin que mon niveau d'anglais médiocre et moi-même la comprenions), ses précieux conseils et sa gentillesse !
Pros: Variété, Saveurs, Service

THE place to eat vegan food in Lisbon - Edit
This is by far my favourite restaurant in Lisbon. I always make a point of eating there when I am in town.
Read moreFood is beyond superb, the staff is friendly and the only negative is really that the demand far outstrips supply. Reservations are a must if you really don't want to wait at the door for a good while.
Pricing is far from insane, I find that for the quality prices are really very reasonable.
Pros: Orgasmic food, Great environment, very friendly staff
Cons: Not easy to park nearby, Very busy (thankfully!) so must book ahead

Great - Edit
We were really impressed with the food..
Read moreWe first had a couvert, with bread, olive oil, an amazing basil and mint paste, plus a few lupines and olives. I would say the couvert was my only disappointment: although well presented, not a great quantity and the olives weren’t that great (I think any Portuguese restaurant should care for their olives...). However, the green paste really made it worth it!
We drank unsweetened lemonade. It was good.
I had a lentil burger with extra mushrooms and a small salad on the side. It was easily one of the best burgers I’ve had! The side salad was small, but went perfectly with the burger.
My partner had two toasts, one vegetable-based and the other cheddar cheese-based, both with pesto I think. They were really good!
These 3 dishes were served on “bolo do caco” (traditionally from Madeira). It was an alright version.
Finally, I had a raw pie, based on dry fruits, and again it was amazing. My partner had a crème brûlée, pretty good.
I thought many of the dishes had unexpected twists, and they worked really well!
We found the price reasonable. The place was really well decorated and had a good, calm environment (we went way past lunch time).
The server was very nice (unexpectedly formal?).
The place was great and we loved it! It’s amazing that Ao 26 could pack such an amazing food, service, decoration and environment at a relatively small price! Bravo!

Read moreatendendo a que a matéria prima é tão barata, podia e devia ser mais barato. Entristece-me ter de dar razão aos não vegans quando me dizem que os restaurantes de comida vegan são injustificadamente caros.

Amazing food! ! - Edit
Really nice atmosphere in this restaurant, with a nice decoration. The food options are really good, generous portions and high quality food, super tasty and not expensive. They offer daily menu and chef suggestions, along with a la carte options. We tried the burgers and their sweet potato fries are amazing!! We had just one desert for the two of us (we were already pretty full with the food) and it so good! ! It is hard to find such good vegan cakes!!
