Extraordinary - Edit
Truly an extraordinary meal and experience. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the food was incredible. The cheeses are wonderful and they bring you SO MUCH DELICIOUS BREAD with each starter. Everything was wonderful. It is a small restaurant though and it does fill up so get here when it opens or you might miss out!

Belle découverte - Edit
L'un des patron qui parle très bien Français nous a très bien accueilli. Nous avons mangé un excellent plateau de fromages végétaux et un cassoulet (spécialité portugaise). L'endroit est chaleureux et reposant.
Pros: Le plateau de vromages L'accueil.

Food from the heart - Edit
The food tastes so honest and good, we loved it. It's also a great chance to try some of the best vegan cheese we've ever had. But the food is just one thing. Even better is the staff. Whoever we met was warm hearted, incredibly respectful and open minded. All in all an unforgettable experience in a very familial environment and we hope that more people will come and appreciate this little Paradies on earth.
Pros: quality of food , friendly staff, atmosphere
Cons: none

It´s more than a place to eat... - Edit
(I usually dont rate restaurants, but in this case I felt inspired to...)
First things first: the food is really good!
It is a 100% vegan, out of conviction. At the same time it appeals to a wider range of people, because they provide "common" food, which also non-vegetarians will easily recognize and find to be tasting at least as good, as what they know.
One credo of the owner is: "Every single person enjoying our food here is one person less, eating agonized animals."
But what I found even more appealing is the personality and soul-energy of the owner Joana.
With an attentive eye you can observe it materialized in one of the most beautiful and warmly decorated cafe/restaurant I have seen so far. She is a true inspiration, not only as a vegan pioneer but also as a woman in life.
This way, you have the chance to be getting much more than only delicious vegan food. :-)

Pros: Energy of the place and people working there., Taste, creativity and dedication in the food.
Cons: Can be too small to host all raving fans. :-), Can´t beam the restaurant to where you live.

Nice place - Edit
My partner is not vegan or vegetarian and he had the special of the day which was a fried tofu "steak" with seaweed and seasonal vegetables which he very much enjoyed. I had their take on a traditional portugeuse sausage which was made with bread. I cannot recall the name of it but it was very good. Very nice meal, not tons of options but hearty and filling. Desserts were also delicious and my partner had a Christmas spiced craft beer which he absolutely loved.
Pros: all vegan, nice staff, delicious food
Cons: only a couple of options

Guaranteed vegan food experience - Edit
We had lunch at Arvore do Mundo. Their whole menu is vegan, and they have a daily changing lunch & soup lunch options. The lunch is very filling - it's almost too much food for people who are not use to having lunch as their biggest meal of the day - and tasty. We had beetroot hummus and homemade bread for starters, Chinese cabbage soup, samosas with a salad, and a drink of your choice - all definitely worth of the 7,50 euros!
Pros: all vegan, very filling
Cons: limited opening times, bad coffee

Lovely place, delicious food! - Edit
I absolutely loved Arvore de Mundo; everything was 5*. From the Menu du jour to the place itself - the service, music, decoration, warm vibe. I will go back for sure, next time I'm in Porto!
Make sure you give them a call before you go, to make a reservation :)

amazing vegan cheeses - Edit
Arvore do Mundo has an extensive menu with main courses, desserts (cakes, mousse), drinks (kefir, wine, beer, coffee, etc.), snacks (burgers, samosas, etc.), and vegan cheeses. I strongly recommend the cheese platter; this tasted amazing!! They were also very friendly and knowledgeable about the food that they served. Best place to have lunch in Porto? Most probably!

Delicious, understated and good value. - Edit
As a very new vegan, I was nervous about finding suitable food in a new city. I shouldn't have worried! This lovely place was easy to find and the set menu of the day (we had lunch) was delicious and really good value. Even my meat eating husband really enjoyed it, and he is very anxious about vegan food. It was delicious and we will be heading back!

My most satisfying meal in years! - Edit
We wasn't sure Porto would have something Vegan to offer with much quality but this place proved us wrong. The whole experience was incredible. From the service, the coffee, the drinks and the exciting food. After I finished my desert and felt overwhelmingly happy that I had probably had the most satisfying meal in years! This is the best vegan meal I have had to date. Incredibly impressed. You may have to wait a little sometimes but the staff make up for it as they are a pleasure to talk to. Will def visit again if I can. Amazing!!!
Pros: exciting new dishs , great drink selection , amazing deserts

Heaven on earth! - Edit
THIS was the culinary discovery we keep in mind from Porto.
The staff is adorable; the menu changes everyday, according to seasons and products; the portions are just what you need, the taste is on point: in a word, everything was perfect. We wish we had time to go there once or twice more before the end of our trip. I would recommend it over and over, and i truly support this amazing restaurant!
Pros: Fresh, homemade food, of quality, Friendly and helpful staff, Good vibes
Cons: No con

Delicious meal in lovely garden setting - Edit
I had the best vegan meal in Porto here. The food was served like a tasting menu. To start, lovely bread and guacamole, then a creamy soup, main was veg with quinoa. I'm not a massive dessert fan but so glad I made space for the sorbet I had. The service was great. Food was brought to the table by the owner and his son. I chose to sit outside and was glad I did. It was lovely and the excellent food made for a perfect meal. Don't visit Porto without eating here!
Pros: excellent vegan food , perfect service

Absolutely Delicious - Edit
We went there on our first day in Porto and it was absolutely fantastic!
Joana is a great cooker and she prepares the food with so much love and passion. You can taste that!
Felipe was very kind and introduced us into the culture of Portugal and Porto.
It felt like knowing each other since many years and being friends for a long time!
They prepared portuguese dishes just in vegan. Was very nice!
Thank you very much Felipe and Joana
Big hug
Marvin and Simone
