So delicious and good food!

We loved the food 🫶🏽 we had the plate of the day and a juice, it was delightful and pleasing.
Sadly we tried it on our last day, if I would knew that place sooner I would have visit it every day.

Pros: Good food, Fair prices , Wonderful staff

Margarida & Rodrigo run this brilliant Independant vegan business

This is my regular vegan lunch place in Lagos. They have a different main meal every day. Their juices & desserts are delicious. Everything is home-cooked with ❤️🌱🔥.

They also have a mini vegan 🌱 market and we have found that their prices beat the big supermarkets so plant based eaters should shop here and support Independant plant based businesses, not to mention that it’s such a nice shopping experience in FAVA as your money is not going into huge greedy corporate coffers.

What they are doing is great & important as non-vegans are also loving it too. They even stock vegan 🌱 suntan lotion & aftersun lotion for all us plant based sun lovers.

They are amazing vegans

The future is vegan 🌱

A gem in sunny Lagos!

This place is the best. If you’re looking for a high quality, VERY reasonably priced drink/lunch in an all vegan environment then look no further than Fava! I had the juice of the day, a piece of coconut carrot cake and the lunch of the day all for a little under 10 euros. A steal for such a tasty meal! The day’s dish was a mixed plate, and the main piece was a delicious chickpea-mushroom soufflé-like quiche cake thing topped with a decadent dollop of garlic cream … hard to describe, but I loved it!

Also, don’t miss their very reasonably priced market. A ton of shelf stable items, fruits/veggies and even some vegan cheeses in a cold case! All good prices and everything is vegan, so you don’t have to check the ingredients😄

Daily plate and a juice

A daily plate, always healthy and a juice of the day and you are set. Inside a quirky little shop and with a few tables outside.

One of my Favo places for lunch in Lagos

They have a Prato do Dia. I love how there is just one thing and it's super affordable. I never get in trouble with my stomach after eating their delicious food. Its healthy and well balanced.
They're sweet and fast. Nothing is overpriced and there is a little shop inside with beautiful products.
The space is not super cosy to sit, so you won't stay too long.

Pros: It's all Vegan, Their food is very well balanced and healthy, Amazing vegan cakes

Cons: Only Prato do dia, but I love that, It's a bit dark inside, They don't allow dogs in

Fantastic spot

I arrived late so the dish of the day had already sold out but they very kindly put together a fantastic plate of food for me still.
Definitely recommend the dish of the day, always filling, fresh, tasty and good value. Cakes are also great. Not to be missed, came here twice during my stay in Lagos.

Pros: Accomodating staff , Good value, All vegan!

Fantástico

Ate there two days in a row because the portion and freshness was amazing. Ordered the soup of the day and plate of the day. Authentic vegan portuguese food. The desserts are very good too and are usually gone by late afternoon. The portion for the price is great. My favourite place to eat in Portugal.

Very good

Lovely, wholesome food and service. We’ve been twice this week and food was very good. We tried the tofu with “migas” and the bean stew and both were delicious.

Better than homemade Lunch Special

Rodrigo and Margherita are fantastic as a team of Son and Mother as they juggle this small but powerful Cafe. The fresh juices and daily Lunch Specials are worth a stop. We often eat there on our way back from the gym. Love the two of them and their food is great. You also can't beat the price.

Pros: Everything they make is simple and great!, Great service, Homemade desserts are delightful as well

Amazing food and great service

Stopped by once we arrived at Lagos. We got the salad of the day and the juice of the day - both were so tasty and filling. We got an oat latte and a cake each to finish off. Very happy with the service and the prices are extremely reasonable. Would go back regularly.

Pros: All vegan, Very tasty, Cost effective

Cons: Not a con, but only cash only

É como comer em casa, barato.

Não é um restaurante eu chamaria de boteco onde se pode lanchar, tomar um pequeno almoço e tem um prato principal por dia com um preço super justo, tendo em conta o valor da materia prima.

As vezes dá jeito um espaço destes para comer qualquer coisa rápida, saborosa e vegan. Nem que seja uma tosta de queijo vegan e um sumo natural do dia. Almocei uma vez e comi vegetais no forno e estavam muito bons. A repetir e recomendo uma visita

Recomendo

Yum!

The only all Vegan eaterie in Lagos was a delightful find. The natural juices (I went every morning for one) and foods were delicious and the portions large with great prices too...you just can't go wrong with this little gem which is very central too. Their selection of foods, drinks and toiletries to buy were an added bonus and still at reasonable prices.

The woman who runs it was very amenable and the lad who helps was very nice.

If you go to Lagos give it a visit...you will be delighted at what you find.

Pros: Everything Vegan, Cafe and Shop, Very Cheap

Lovely small cafe

The dish and juice of the day are super tasty and comforting. It’s a cafe/supermarket, that sells all the products you’re looking for as a vegan. Would recommend!

Pros: Cheap, Tasty
