Vegan oasis in Tomar

Delicious, home made food, including deserts, all made by the owner. Small restaurant, but cozy and friendly. The only truly vegan restaurant in Tomar, will return for sure every time I travel to north Portugal.

Pros: Home made food, Friday staff, Have vegan deserts

Cozy and tasty

Wasn’t expecting such fresh, delicious vegan offerings in Tomar because the restaurants around the city center look a bit touristy. Ordered the daily specials of legume soup (split pea?), mango avocado salad, quinoa burger, and tofu wrap. All were delicious and filling—the mango salad won my tastebuds over in the first bite. Dog friendly, super-friendly server. A couple of reviews mentioned small portions, however that wasn’t the case today at all. Took pics to show how generous the plates were. Highly recommend.

Such a cute place that welcomed us and our dog. Unfortunately the food was a little boring.

that person calling tomar a village needs to get excommunicado by the Knights in the castle

great food, a bit pricey for what they delivered imo but i was more than happy to eat there (support vegan businesses at any cost!) staff was very friendly but holy moly (vegan) macaroni, the coriander density was crazy! also the mushroom sausages and rösti was pure love 😍 and i got a good reminder for my lemon face

Updated from previous review on 2026-01-24

Pros: SAUSAGES!!!, röööstii, good atmosphare

Cons: coriander, a bit small and hard to fine, BUT WHO CARES, kinda pricey

Small portion, bland food

I went here, because I like to support vegan places, but this was just a huge disappointment. I ordered the feijão, which was just a poorly made Indian dahl. Portion size is small, the food is not properly spiced. Overpriced for what you get. Waitress was very friendly, though.

Pros: Friendly waitress

Cons: Small portion size, Bland food

Nice cosy place

Little gem in the centre of Tomar. Friendly people and tasty food. I ordered the mushroom "alheira," which was supposed to come with veggies, but got salad instead. I'm usually very particular about salads, and that had been one of the reasons I had gone for that dish in the first place as the others came with salad, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was perfectly seasoned and sprinkled with sesame seeds, and the lettuce leaves were just the way I like them.

Cute place

The place was really cute, has inside seating and a couple of tables outside.
The menu didn’t appeal to us either seitan and mushrooms - we’re a bit tired of these options.
But a nice vegan only place.

Cozy local restaurant

Very sweet, friendly and hard working staff. Mix of Portuguese home style cooking and classic vegan dishes.

They had an extensive herbal tea menu. Perfect for a cold and daily November day.

We were the only costumers when we arrived. During our meal many locals came in to eat.

Very affordable prices

Pros: Portuguese flavors , Friendly , Local

Cons: Little too much salt

Nice little place

The place is very nice and the atmosphere is great. Some dishes are not bad, but overall I felt this place is lacking taste and creativity, especially when it comes to the main dishes. And I have been there on two different occasions.

Comida que sabe a Casa

O Gira,Sol é um restaurante vegan.
Um local onde podemos comer fora de maneira saudável.
Têm a refeição do dia mas também têm outras opções no cardápio.
É um sítio bastante acolhedor e as funcionárias são muito simpáticas
A comida sabe a casa e é bastante saborosa.

Deliciosa comida de conforto

Para prato principal, comemos o prato de tofu com pão de milho, batata a murro e grelos. Estava absolutamente maravilhoso, comida de conforto bem executada.

Para sobremesas, comemos um doce de coco com laranja, regado com chocolate e amêndoa e pera bêbada com chocolate e amêndoa. A de coco era muito boa, das melhores que já comi e a pera bêbada também estava boa, embora o vinho tinto estivesse com um sabor mais forte.

No geral, tive uma sensação de casa, de conforto, com sabores maravilhosos.

Delicious vegan Restaurant

All-vegan-food Restaurant, in a quiet street of Tomar. Very friendly staff, greaf service and delicious natural food.

We had a very good starter with cheese, tomato and sauce. Afterwards a very good main dish of quinoa burger, potatos with garlic and onion and a very well dressed salad. For dessert we chose the crumble and the chocolate salami (portuguese salame de chocolate, sorry if this is a bad translation of mine), which we had a second round of.

Could not recommend this place enough.

Pros: Healthy, natural, delicious vegan food, Service, Location

The only fully-vegan restaurant in Tomar

"Gira, Sol" is the ONLY vegan restaurant in Tomar, as of August 2023—to my knowledge. There are of course other places that serve vegan food, but as far as I know, this is actually the only place that does not serve meat. It's also a nice place, with a relaxed, family-run atmosphere and a great location on a quiet street (unlike some of the other part-veggie options) in the old town. Go!

Updated from previous review on 2023-08-10

Pros: Good atmosphere, No animal products, Daily specials for main/soup/appetizer

Cons: Only had 30min for lunch; had to catch a train.

Nice vegan home-style meals in downtown Tomar

The restaurant is fully vegan despite its name saying “vegetarian”. Cozy little place under one of the very old buildings of downtown Tomar.

They offered a olive spread as an appetizer, vegetable soup, two different main dish options: a quinoa salads and black beans with chouriço, and two desserts: carob cake and parfait. The food was really simple and tasted homemade. We really liked it.

We’re definitely coming back when we visit Tomar again.

Pros: Homemade taste, Charming, small ambient, Warm, welcoming staff

An awesome hidden gem - it's a rare case that you find a veg cafe in a small town. Very lovely women treated us with delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. Nice place for a short rest during your trip!
