Homemade vegan delights

Vegan pasteis de nata for breakfast with a surprise sea view. Finally tried the vegan spinach burger, homemade and delicious, served woth tasty vegetable purees and salad, very filling too! D. Regina is vegetarian with a good understanding of food choices.

5 star!!!

Ran by the owner who welcomed us like family and explained the vegan options (think there were 5 different vegan mains today, and all sounded appetising). The two of us had a delicious main meal and desserts. The vegan lemon mousse was divine, and the vegan Portuguese tart was *to die for* -- please do not leave Sesimbra without trying it from Regina's!

The cafe is a very casual canteen style, but it can cater both for a quick coffee and cake or a full lunch or early dinner.

Wholeheartedly recommend.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, The options are very creative and appetising, Vegan Pastel De Nata

Very good and cheap

The lovely Regina kindly listed the vegan options.
We tried the mushroom rice and feijoada, it was very good and generously served.

They also had vegan queijadinha flavored with orange.

For two, we paid 24€, which was a bargain for the delicious food and the beach view.

Flavorful food

We ordered the two available vegan options which were a burger plate and a Brazilian bean dish. Both were very flavorful, the burger plate came with a few different items like broccoli puree and cooked cabbage which we really liked. The woman working was very friendly. Unfortunately they were all out of the vegan dessert options so we didn't get to try them. For the two dishes and two juices the price came out to €22 which wasn't bad since it's right by the beach.

Real gem of Sesimbra

Unfortunately I can't add 5 stars as the restaurant is not vegan. Don't let that turn you away tho.
Plenty of vegan options and the food is heavenly. That includes vegan pastries like pasteis de nata, all made by Regina herself with love. Not only a wonderful human but a great chef! Everything we tried was so tasty and filling. Portuguese home cooked dishes with her special twists that make even the simplest dishes extraordinary. Regina makes sure you are happy and goes over and beyond with her food and service. You can even pre-order some special vegan options, like lasagna or vegan versions of Portuguese dishes, she'll be more than happy to make.
Do yourself a favour, do not miss out on this place while in Sesimbra. You will be returning here every day!

Excellent service

We didn’t knew this place and therefore the expectations were not high. But Ms. Regina changed it from the first minute.
Running the place on her own she was able to provide us with great and delicious food (all plant based) and a service that really made us to want to know her and come back in the future!
Top tip: to try the specials you need to book one day in advance.
Highly recommended!!

Pros: Plant based food, Fresh ingredients , Customized service

Cons: No card payment available , Small space

We were treated like friends since the moment we arrived, Regina's VEGAN homemade menu was exactly what we were looking for. It was unbelievably tasty and she has a lot to offer. We will definitely go again and recommend this place to everyone we know! Thank you so much Regina, we had an amazing time!

Pros: -Many vegan options, also drinks and desert., - Friendly service and environment , -Nice place, close to the beach

Delicious comfort food!

Regina is very friendly and helpful, always smiling.
Regina's food hugs you. It is a tasty food made with love. Her Vegan Feijoada (beans dish) is always available on the menu, but there is also always one more option of a vegan "dish of the day".
There is always options of vegan cakes too.

You really need to try the Orange & Mushrooms Cake. It's delicious!

Cozy restaurant that has vegan and veggie versions of traditional portuguese food full of flavour. One of the best if not the best experiences I've ever had in terms of service and hospitality. Fully recommend it and it fully deserves to be revisited.

Pros: Great service and hospitality, Vegan and veggie versions of traditional dishes , Great price and comfort

Great environment, food and drinks!

Regina is a very talented and friendly chef who welcomed us at the door of her little corner ("cantinho"). Her vegan beans dish had a very generous portion full of flavour and she particularly told us that she loves using different kinds of mushrooms in her cookings. So now, guess what else besides orange the cake she created had 😉 An amazingly delicious creation that was!
I definitely want to try more of her dishes and hope to do so in the near future.

Pros: Very affordable, pleasant outside view, friendly welcome

Tasty & Good price

Nice local place very close to the beach. Serves fish but has vegan options.
The owner is actually vegetarian and only eats fish (bacalhau) very occasionally. I had a vegan feijoada which was very tasty. The price was really fair, only 7€ for the dish of the day which close to the beach is a plus!
Cash only!!!!
Would definitely go back.

Great food, great service

Had a very tasty feijoada (bean stew), and a wonderful mushroom and orange cake. Don’t be put off by the mushrooms, it’s a homemade recipe by Regina, the lovely owner, and tastes fantastic.

Although the vegan menu is deceiving as only a few of the options are available at any one time, you can ask in advance (three hours in advance for the vegan bitoque) and it will be prepared for whenever you plan to eat.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Everything tastes great, Quiet location close to the beach

Cons: Have to ask for most vegan options in advance

Great service, food and view

I still can't believe we stumbled upon a portuguese restaurant/ cafe proudly serving vegan food in Sesimbra!
Great and very friendly service and delicious food. We had our first proper vegan "Bitoque" (portuguese dish of steak, french fries, rice and salad) in over 5 years, and it was delicious.

Pros: Great food., Friendly service., Ocean view.
