Fabulous brunch

The restaurant is small and beautiful, you can eat on the terrace and enjoy the seaside view. The food was delicious. I had the brunch with was huge, beautiful and tasty (vegan yogurt, carube pancake with fruits, avocado toasts, tofu, black beans, coffee and fresh juice for 14,9€). My boyfriend had the seitan burger with homemade French fries. They speak English.

Pros: All vegetarian but mostly vegan, Nice setting

Vert good

Nice place facing the beach. Burgers were good although we found them a little small for the price.
Mostly vegetarian but good vegan options. Would definitely go back.

Simply a great place to go!

A cozy place with a fantastic view at the sea. Most importantly, the staff is what makes this place amazing. You can count on tasty food as well. A must-go if you’re in the neighborhood. We visited the place many times during our one month stay and it was always the same.

Fresh, tasty food with a view to the ocean

We enjoyed our food sitting outside with a great view to the ocean. Amazing! I had the seitan burger and it was very tasty and the sweet potato chips fresh! There were many dessert options - hard to choose one. I had the cocoa pudding to remember my childhood. Was really good!

Pros: Fresh food, Many vegan dessert options , Outside sitting with view to the ocean

Amazing Find

We ate at this cafe twice on our short trip to the area & both times, we left happy. Great menu offering tasty food at reasonable prices. A good selection of vegan cakes to choose from for dessert or to go with a coffee (with rice or soy milk options)
Very friendly owner who took the time to explain items or tell us about the dish of the day.
Vegan cafes like this are hard to find in Portugal & this was one of the nicest we have visited. We will definitely return. On a sunny day, you can't find a nicer place to sit outside, with a great view of the ocean. Perfect.

Pros: friendly staff, excellent choice of food , location

Cons: small space, a wait for tables in busy times

Alimento para o corpo e a alma

A comida, de inspiração macrobiótica, é bem confecionada, equilibrada e saborosa. Optei pelo menu do dia, com sopa de abóbora e gengibre, e um estufado de feijão, com trigo sarraceno, salada e Hokkaido no forno. O meu marido pediu um guacamole com tiras de milho, como entrada, e o burguer de seitan. As sobremesas são sem açúcar, tal como eu gosto. Ficámos muito satisfeitos com as nossas escolhas. Durante a refeição podemos ainda restaurar os nossos níveis de vitamina D e apreciar a beleza do mar. O staff é muito atencioso e simpático. A voltar!

Good meal with a good sightseeing

Quite place with nice staff. Tasty dishes with multiple options and always a different meal (of the day). Many dessert options, most of them raw, really good.

Pros: All vegan, but they cook eggs if someone want to

Cons: None. 8

Just what we had in mind

For a clean and on the spot breakfast by the water. Best option we could ask for

Not fully vegan cafe

The cafe has a great view onto the beach and the staff is very friendly. The food was good but not overwhelming. We had a burger, a wrap, an acai bowl and two drinks. The most delicious was the acai bowl, fresh and tasty. The other dishes were just ok.
HOWEVER: this cafe is advertised as completely vegan BUT there are two dishes with egg on the menu. Once we saw it being served at the table next to us and that it was actual egg and not vegan egg we were very surprised and worried if our dishes might also have contained egg, e.g in the mayo. The staff was kind enough to clear up this confusion and told us that only the two dishes which clearly had egg marked as one of the ingredients contained egg and that everything else in the cafe was vegan.
To be honest it wouldn't have been such a weird moment for us, had the cafe been marked as vegetarian and not vegan.

Pros: great location, fresh food and juices

Cons: not fully vegan

Delicious food that was satisfying and healthy!

It is lovely to find an oasis of kindness. The staff went out of their way to pack me and my family a beach picnic. We were able to borrow returnable cutlery and shopping bag. We had dish of the day and soup of the day, it was outstanding. An excellent find and good value for money.

Pros: Organic, vegan options and super tasty.

Cons: None, just that it isn't 24hrs lol

The stuff is super friendly. everything we ate was deliciouse. normaly it is hard to find good vegan food in Portugal and this place is a true treasure!

Pros: Very tasty food, Sugar free cake , Friendly stuff

Cons: nothing

Best curry of my life!

We ordered the dish of the day and a beet hummus wrap with veggie chips. The dish of the day was a curry with roasted vegetables, delicious and nutritious salad and brown rice. The curry was not so spicy and it was terrific!
For dessert I had a slice of pineapple cake, something completely different from all the cakes I've tried before and it was just amazing!

Nice place, friendly staff!

Wonderful

A lovely oasis in a town of fish. I had a big plate of salad and my omni partner was very happy with his falafel special. The falafel were warm and moist .delicious. there were some amazing looking cakes .we tried an orange mousse which was unusual but good. And there was fresh juices I had carrot and ginger . Lovely staff.
One improvement suggestion would be to serve bread or at least ask if you want it.
Also note it's on an upper terrace .I'd walked past it at least 4 times without seeing it.

Pros: Location overlooking beach, Cake

Cons: Location .well above eye level

Great, inexpensive vegan food

We loved this place, and not just because it's the only option for vegan food in Sesimbra in a sea of fish restaurants. A very varied and delicious brunch and a menu of the day was more than enough for two of us, and came to under 25 euros. Included soup, risotto, cake, coffee, all kinds of salads, smoothies and much more. Very friendly and spacious. Enjoy.

Pros: delicious vegan food, inexpensive.

Cons: Not open evenings.
