Enriching food workshop!

As part of our European sustainability project, our group had a food workshop with Liliana and Dinis and their team at Cor de Tangerina. They took a lot of time to make us reflect on our connection to food and why what we choose to eat each day really matters from an environmentally sustainable point of view.
We got to prepare a whole vegetarian / vegan menu with them - baking acorn bread, preparing vegetable lentil soup, creamy vegetable rice with mushrooms and beans and a carob cake.
The process was super fun and insightful, we got to ask a lot of questions and the food tasted amazing!
The ambience at Cor de Tangerina is really beautiful too. This was the highlight of our whole programme in Portugal!

Perfect

Perfect location, perfect space, perfect atmosphere, and perfect dishes. Delicious and beautifully presented, especially the one that won best vegan dish in Portugal's Seven Wonders of New Gastronomy.

Amazing!

I've been to this place more than 10 years ago, and I loved it, and after all this time, I came back and it's even better than I remembered. Try it because everything is amazing. The food the place and the people.

Pros: The food is super tasty, Place is beautiful

Tasty food

Really tasty vegetarian/vegan dishes and desserts, however a little bit expensive and not that many options. The environment is super cozy with a beautiful garden!

My favorite vegetarian/vegan restaurant

I go there for 7 years now,it’s always delightful! The food is superbe.
With focus on regional tastes and ingredients.

On top the owners are super pet friendly,once they rescued a sibling pair of puppies from famine and were distributing the adoption via instagram,in the end we stayed with one of the dogs and he’s part of the family now!

Good people and winners of one of the most prestigious culinary price in Portugal in the vegan category!

On top of that the building is very charming,acomodating and sunny and warm colored.

You feel instantly relaxed and at ease!

Beautiful setting. Pretentious dishes

This is the most expensive vegan/vegetarian venue in the area. Our two desserts were 14 euros. The dinner plates were award winning color combinations but lacked harmonious seasoning and were generally bland to the taste. The carrot cake was delicious.
The Green Bistrot and Donna Veggie are better choices for the vegan/vegetarian who wants tasty, organic, and wholesome balanced meals without the “frills”.

Pros: The wait staff, The location adjacent to the castle, The soup

Cons: The expense, The award winning frills, The view into the bathroom from our table

rich and tasty

This is hearty and tasty vegetarian cooking at its best. Limited choice but worth it if there’s something for your dietary needs. They are super welcoming and have a cute garden in the sun.

Review - Cor De Tangerina

This was literally heaven on earth. I’ve never tasted anything so good in my entire life. We had gratin pasta with vegan cheese in it, with well cooked veggies under it… even the sauce was perfect and you can notice the difference in the freshness of the elements of your plate. For dessert I had a delicious carob mousse. The place was also really old cottage aesthetic vibes and we love to see it. Perfect location where Portugal was born? What can I ask for more? 🍊 #Veganuary

Attention on the details

A very distinguish place, for the food, environment and quality of the attendance.
The preparation of the plates are unique and you can see that they really put time and effort on the details. A must have.

Pros: The garden outside is really a good atmosphere.

Beautiful place

Very nice place for vegetarian food (vegan available). I was here during a medieval city festival and the menu was renamed accordingly. The staff was dressed in medieval cloth too.
Not a place for a quick lunch because the Portuguese take time to sit down for lunch.

Pros: Many vegan options, Home made food and bread

Cons: Takes time until food arrives

O espaço é muito agradável e a comida saborosa, mas não justifica o preço. Esperamos mais de uma hora pelos pratos principais.

Pros: Espaço muito agradável

Deserved 6 stars!

My favorite!!! Traveling from the Spain countryside to Porto, we stopped here for lunch. It was absolutely delicious. My husband had the Meal of the Day that included a soup and dessert. His meal was a garlic puff pastry filled with seitan, with rice and a small salad. The seitan was very flavorful and well spiced. I had the quinoa pasta with a pesto made from basil and hazelnut, in a lentil cream sauce with a side skewer of smoked tofu and pineapple. I loved my dish and the presentation made it look like art! The desserts we had were an apple crumble that had an intense almond flavor and another was a puff pastry with a fruity marmalade, also presented very artfully with a flower! This whole meal was so delicious and satisfying. At first the waitress seemed cold and harsh. Before she sat us she said “you know this is a vegetarian restaurant” It seemed rude and was a little off putting but we endured and by the end of the meal she was nicer.

Pros: Meal of the day was 12.5€

It is a great restaurant with quite a nice ambience. The food was tasty and fresh. There were not many entree options and the ones offered were all very similar.

Espaço lindo! Poucas opções 😢

Ficamos no terraço, que é lindo e acolhedor! O atendimento foi bom, mas está longe de excelente, principalmente pelo tempo de espera.
A comida achei boa mas nada que me vá fazer querer voltar muito. Só têm 1 ou 2 opções veganas (depende de qual é o prato do dia)

Pros: Espaço , Atendimento simpático

Cons: Poucas opções veganas , Atendimento demorado, Comida razoável

Great restaurant in Guimarães

This is one of my favourite restaurant in Guimarães. The food quality is great and prepared with attention.
In my last visit I noticed a declined in the staff attention and the food was a step down from what I was used to. I hope next time they will improve.

Pros: Great vegan options, Great food, Great decoration

Cons: Sometimes staff needs to me more nice.
