Very nice place and yummy food - Edit
Me and my friends had lunch there when we were on vacation in Lisbon and the food was very good and the place alltogether was cozy and inviting. The staff too is helpful and friendly. I highly recommend!

Terrific selection and plentiful seating - Edit
I sat upstairs on the roof and enjoyed my quiche and salad. Was a little pricey but that may have been my half-liter of (delicious!) sangria. :)

Absolutely wonderful place to eat - Edit
This is an amazing place to eat! Lovely designed interior, great roof top terrace, cozy atmosphere. The staff and the chef is super nice and welcoming. I recommend asking them which dishes are vegan because some of them are also vegetarian. But all of them speak English and are eager to help you!

Nice rooftop - Edit
The staff was very helpful and friendly. The menu has 3-4 choices, or a plate with one of each, which is what we went for. It's true there are plates that aren't vegan, but staff made it clear what each contained, so don't forget to ask before you order. The food was well flavoured, well served, the spinach juice was amazing. A bit pricey but worth the money

It varies... - Edit
Very welcoming staffs and the ambiance.
Read moreFood is well presented and delicious!
Menu changes daily as they use fresh produce of the day :)
Update on January 16th 2019
As it was so good the day before, we decided to take our friends with us but everything changed.
It was overcooked, way too salty and oily.
Quite disappointing for the second time :(
The buffet is confusing what is vegan and what is not (I ended up eating non vegan stuff!)

Really great there! - Edit
We were happy to find a vegetarian restaurant here... and tried to test it.
Read moreWas a blast!
First we got the mixed plate with some different things to try. Was amazingly good and tasty. You have to order the bread seperately, comes with some carrotslices and a dip. Yummie!
Then we went to the buffet. Four different salads, Dachboden them different, lots of spices. Really special and fine. Then there were different kind of warm plates, one better then the other.
It is a big area, for dinner one restaurant, another for breakfast, a rooftop-location should be also there-
we plan to be back tomorrow morning to test the breakfast!

Cold food and expensive - Edit
We arrived at around 7:30 pm and were greeted friendly.
Read moreThe chef’s choice entree plate was quite nice.
However the buffet consisted of six dishes (different steamed vegetables and potato cuts) and three salads (one vegan). All the food was cold to luke warm.
The waitress did not seem to know what they were serving and had to ask for ingredients.
In the end for dessert they had a raw cake (however the fridge was not on so she couldnt serve it as is went mushy) and some other cake that seemed to have been standing out the whole day.
Also we were not even asked if we enjoyed our meal or if we would like another drink, they seemed quite eager to get rid of us..
Pros: Central location
Cons: Food choices, Quality, Waitress

Great diversity and quality buffet - Edit
Great decoration, many options in buffet, cold and hot ones.
Read moreGood quality over price, unlimited buffet.
Very turistical place, doesn't have menu for drinks, only listed somewhere in a wall, so careful with the high prices for drinks.
The food is good for the price

Too expensive for what you get - Edit
I previously came here almost religiously whenever I found myself in Cascais because it had vegan options and a great selection of hummus, baba, and salads in the buffet.
Read moreHOWEVER, I went there today after not being there for a few years and (although they opened a lovely larger restaurant next door with wonderful staff ) all I got for my EUR 12.90 lunch buffet was non-legume veggies (lovely selection, but seriously....no proteins?). I had to pay extra for hummus (protein). Besides the salad with cheese (which I don't eat), there were no strong vegan proteins (like chick peas, hummus or beans) in the buffet. I love the salads and smiles, but frankly, I felt royally screwed by the prices when I paid in the end.
TO THE RESTAURANT: Don't charge so much for your buffet and then charge people extra for proteins...that's just wrong! I miss your previous format when the restaurant was in the smaller location next door: all you could eat hummus, chickpeas and salad for EUR 9.00 during lunch or dinner. Now, the selection and flavours are bland, and you're just taking advantage.
This place used to be amazing, but now, it's DEFINITELY not worth it.

Pros: Staff is awesome
Cons: No vegan proteins in the bland buffet, Need to pay extra for vegan proteins, Felt ROYALLY screwed when I left

Did not live up to the hype - Edit
House of Wonders is a great place if you like fresh salads and are on a low/no salt diet; however, I was not at all impressed by the overall taste of the different dishes.
Read moreIt does not please me to leave anything but positive reviews for the places I have eaten, but I simply cannot allow House of Wonders to get away with selling (admittedly pleasing to the eye) bland food.
Their heart is in the right place, and maybe with a few years or slight change of direction they may hit the right button, but for now...
Pros: Central, Nice ambience
Cons: Expensive, Not nice food

Buffet, juices and desserts with a view - Edit
Love the food and the vibe. Great juices and desserts (some without sugar), good staff and killer buffet or you can simply enjoy a combo platter in the rooftop with an amazing view over Cascais. Sometimes the buffet could have more diversity.

Different expectations we suppose - Edit
Our expectations were so high after reading all the review here and we longed for a high quality, interesting dinner with the family during our holiday. Seldom have we been so let down by the experience. Dont take me wrong, the staff was great and very attentative and their intention is great. But really, it felt like "Fresh from the vegan 70s". A very bland tasting un-innovative buffé where no flavours stuck out. A tasting menu where unseasoned boiled leek and tomatosauce is the highlight is not really what we expected. Yes, food was ok, bland, very pricey for what it was, and definitely not of 2018 expectations . Nice wine though!

Excellent lunch - Edit
Beautiful place in centre of Cascais, with rooftop facility. Friendly staff.
Read moreNew restaurant has a buffet, the other side plates, both are delicious and beautiful colours.
Downstairs is a patisserie with a lot of desert choices.
Warm and cold plate, shared with my wife. Delicious choice of vegetables with different tastes. Nice choice of fresh homemade juices. The parfaits are a must (raw dessert) with choices of cappuccino, blueberries and lime.
Pros: Lot of choice, Vegan as well (lacto)vegetarian
Cons: none

Lovely lunch - Edit
We ate in the new restaurant section opposite the old building (down the steps) and it was lush. All veggie, one of the hot meals was vegan and most of the buffet dishes too. Just a couple of things had a non vegan sauce but were easily identified by the helpful & charming staff. Come when you're hungry because there's a lot to eat with the buffet plates! Also the juices are delicious.
Read morePros: Most dishes vegan, Knowledgeable & friendly staff

Everything you need - Edit
Really tasty food, I loved everything so much, I ate so much I had to roll out of there. And this is even tho I'm not a big fan of parsley and is was parsley in a lot of the food. The staff was really knowledgeable, funny, welcoming and caring! It was also a really cozy and positive atmosphere in this restaurant.
Read morePros: A lot of vegan and vegetarian amazing food, great
Cons: Too many dishes with parsley for me.

Perderam o Brio - Edit
Quando este espaço abriu tinha um serviço de buffet EXCELENTE. Dispendioso, sim mas, sem dúvida, excelente. O que aconteceu? Voltei uma segunda vez há cerca de 1 ano e já deixaram mesmo muito a desejar, embora os preços se mantivessem.
Read moreAgora o que aconteceu há cerca de três semanas foi de facto lamentável, uns “restos” de comida fria no buffet e alguma com sabor já azedo...
E o preço? .... sim... Quase 45 € para 2 pessoas. Foi um jantar desastroso e embaraçoso para duas pessoas educadas que de facto não tiveram coragem de reclamar o sucedido convosco.
Se não melhorarem urgentemente não deveriam manter o estabelecimento aberto. Ou então estão sem noção alguma...
:(
Pros: Atendimento , Decoração
Cons: Comida , Preço

Cosy soul-warming lunch - Edit
You can have the "all you can eat" menu or a plate to serve yourself just once. I had te second one and it was more than enough! I also had the spinach/pinaple/ginger juice which was spicy and delicious! The food was savory and there were many different dishes for every taste! The only thing at fault is that there weren't many protein-rich dishes... in the end it wasn't too cheap but I think the price was fair. Also, this restaurant has a very chill environment and nice staff. Do recommend!
