Wonderful restaurant!!! - Edit
We really enjoyed this restaurant. The interior is bright, light, spacious and beautifully designed. The food is served buffet style with a soup course, a range of cold dishes and 4 hot dishes. Daniela, the lovely waitress, spoke excellent English and pointed out the few dishes that were vegetarian but not vegan. Daniella even offered to bring a vegan version of one of these dishes. I loved the fact that they served brown rice as one of their grain choices. The quality of the food and the taste were excellent. The price was very reasonable with drinks (other than cold tea) and desserts extra. They had a vegan apple crumble for dessert but I passed on that and took a pot of orange ginger tea. The list of teas is amazing. All in all a great vegan choice.
Read moreNote a mistake in the opening hours: On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the restaurant is open til 2 p.m. They are not open for dinner on those days. We made a mistake and went first on Friday night. But we liked it so much, all is forgiven.
Pros: Great food/mainly vegan, great service, pleasant surroundings
Cons: closed for dinner on 3 nights

Okay, but not more - Edit
The warm dishes were just warm (including the soup) and not hot. There was nothing special and mostly basic food. For that it's too expensive. Da Terra is still the best address for vegan food in the city!!!

Não dou 1 porque não dá. - Edit
Toda a francesinha só sabia a curgete, o molho aguado com sabor a curgete, o pão demasiado torrado por cima e empapado em baixo fazendo uma sopa Empapada, optamos por francesinha porque apesar de ser bufet todas as opções eram demasiado básica não parecendo para mim fazer uma refeição completa. Não voltarei e não aconcelho

Ola obrigado pelo Vosso comentario. Lamentaoso que o sabor da francesinha nao tenha correspondido ao expecatado. Nós sabemos que as nossas propostas, e as dos outros restaurantes, nao satisfarao sempre 100% das pessoas. Ainda bem que quem a acompanahou tenha gostado. Convidámo-la a visitar-nos de novo e a degustaar o nosso buffet e verá que retirará opiniao nao positiva

Too expensive for what you get - Edit
I ordered the vegan francesinha and it was ok but not specially good (the sauce was the best part). And i got a basic salad with crisps... and a tea cup, everything for 15.90 € (and it wasn’t big portions). Disappointed
Read moreAnd I hesitated with the buffet, but it was also a little bit expensive (10€) for not an amazing offer (the daterra buffet is cheaper and looks better).
You can find better and cheaper.
Pros: Typical portugese meal vegan or vegetarian , You can eat on a chair suspended (balançoire)!, Buffet (cold and hot)
Cons: Expensive, Not especially good, Workers not particularly friendly

I love Porto - Edit
I was surprised to see so many so-so reviews. I thought this was an amazing place. The food doesn’t have the cheap feeling of so many buffet restaurants, the staff was super nice and the selection is more than adequate for the price. I also went to the Daterra buffet across the river and they are similar, but this place has a larger selection of dishes. When we went all their dishes except two were vegan.

Buffet just ok - Edit
The buffet is pretty similar off da Terra buffet but it's more simple, less options and less tasty. There were 4 hot dishes but one was plain rice and another one wasn't vegan.
Read moreIs important to remember that here is a vegetarian restaurant and ask because I saw the same cakes on the pics here were on the restaurant today and weren't vegan!! The only vegan dessert was an avocado mousse.
The price is 9€ for the buffet and each juice is 4€.
Maybe at dinner is better, for a lunch buffet is better da Terra.
Pros: Vegan options, I loved the swings
Cons: Expensive juice and water, Just ok, No many vegan dessert

so-so - Edit
I hate to not speak well of an all-veg place in Portugal, where choices are not widespread. Indeed, there are many good things about this place. However, all the previous reviews that complain about the food being bland are right on. For that reason, this isn't a place I'd return to over some of the other options in Porto.

Great buffet - spanning the range from sushi to scrambled tofu and noodles. Friendly, nice design, swings to sit on and very tasty food. We took our baby and we were made very welcome. They have a high chair and plenty of the food is fine to give to babies who are beginning to wean. 12 euro for the buffet on a Friday.

Bunte Vielfalt plus Francesinhas in vegan und vegetarisch (Portug. Leibspeise) - Edit
Nicht nur, dass man hier schaukeln kann, man kriegt auch ein Buffet zum guten Preis von knapp 12€. War vor drei Jahren schonmal hier. Jeden Tag gibt es etwas anderes und jetzt sogar das musthave in Portugal: Sandwich Francesinha in vegetarisch und vegan. Lieb es! Nur der Portwein fehlt😉aber die Schaukel gleicht es aus!

A little bit disappointing - Edit
We went there very hungry. We paid almost 12€ for food that was ok but without any "deep" taste. There was not a lot of vegan options and sushi was very disappointing. Just ok.

Read moreDear Customer.
It is always good to receive feedback from our customers that we appreciate.
We will analyze and try to improve our offer.
Now we must correct it relatively to the composition of our offer. Of the 16 cold and starters , 3 hot dishes and side dishes, usually only one, I repeat only one or two of the deliveries are not vegan. Generally all offer in Culture of Flavors is total VEGAN !. We hope to have the privilege of your visit again. see you soon

Flat food, not so cheap - Edit
The location is really nice, but there is no effort from the kitchen. The food is flat, quite tasteless. Compared to the other places in porto with a vegan buffet it is more expencive but less worthy.
Read moreI'm sorry to write negative stuff about a vegetarian place, but it's such a pity to see a beautiful place like that offering such a flat food. Put a little effort in it: some herbs, some oil, some seasoning and the place will bloom.

Disappointing - Edit
We read the negative reviews and really gave it a fair try. But we have to agree that the food was tasteless. If they would use some herbs, the food would taste so much better. The salad bar was also very boring: plain carrots, plain lettuce, etc. They could have been a bit more creative.

Cons: Food was tasteless , Boring assortment, Price quality was way out of range
