Food was delicious

The food was delicious, the decoration so pretty and the staff so nice. It is true that maybe if you have a starter, a main dicho and a desert the bill can go up to 20-25€ per person but since the main dishes are so filling (I couldn't finish mine even though I was very hungry) I don't think you'll have room for all of that.

Pros: Bitoque, Francesinha

Perfectly made Portuguese food

Absolutely amazing taste, very creative, perfectly made vegan local cuisine. The staff is very friendly. The drinks are super tasty. The location is very easy to reach. I have tried two options on the menu and loved them both! Both of them have a very good sauce base and come with side dishes. The prices are reasonable. Definietely a must-go place in Lisbon!

Richtig super

Freundliches Personal, tolles Ambiente und eine super Auswahl an Speisen. Von traditioneller portugiesischer Küche über einfallsreiche Gerichte war alles dabei. Preis und Leistung stimmen definitiv überein! Man merkt, dass das Team hinter seiner Philosophie steht.

Pros: Vor allem die Nachspeise (Parfait), Freundliche Bedienung, Location

Loved!

Had the francesinha (traditional Portuguese sandwich) which is served wish fries, so delicious. Also tried the verde wine. Great food and service, reasonably priced.

Sin palabras

Increible. Fácilmente de los mejores restaurantes que he ido en mi vida. Siempre apuesto por restaurantes que veganicen los platos tradicionales de su país y este cumple de sobra.

Croquetas de alheira, bitoque y tarta de queso "deconstruida". Nada más. Perfecto.

ACTUALIZACIÓN: Volví días después y pedí ensalada de "pulpo", francesinha (adjunto foto de cómo es por dentro para quien tenga curiosidad)y parfait de postre.

Obviamente estaba todo bueno, pero me gustó más lo que pedí el primer día excepto el parfait, que estaba buenísimo.

I ordered take away but it was like eating there. Everything was perfectly packed and not even a drop of sauce spilled!
Delicious francesinha with seitan side of fries. I also tried the octopus salad.

Incredible vegan Portuguese food

I mean, wow. This menu is unique, innovative, daring, and it really pays off - the food is delicious!

I had the croquettes and steak with egg and I could not fault a thing. I loved how the steak dish came with rice, chips and salad. It’s impressive how they manage to make the steak and egg taste good. The croquettes were flavourful and crunchy.

The staff were friendly and the restaurant is nice and welcoming.

I’d definitely recommend this place, I loved it!

Edit to add: I came back and tried the bruschetta which was insanely good, and the octopus main dish which was also really nice. Love it here!

Best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to

Wow. What a place! The ambiance is amazing and the staff so welcoming and friendly. I loved that they serve the vegan versions of traditional Portuguese food. My husband and I shared the croquettes which had a lovely smoky melted cheese flavour. Then shared two of the mains - the seitan and egg dish and the cheese and chorizo sandwich dish. Both absolutely phenomenal. My husband who is Omni said he LOVED the sandwich. I found them both equally as great. We ended with their pasties da nata and a decaf coffee. If you come to Lisbon, this restaurant is a MUST!

Pros: Fully vegan and delicious, Traditional Portuguese cuisine veganised , Friendly welcoming staff with great ambience

Sie wissen, was sie tun

Sehr nette Bedienung, gutes Konzept und sie wissen, was sie tun. Das Seitan-Steak hatte verschiedene Konsistenzen, wie ein echtes, die Pommes waren perfekt, die Soße köstlich und die Snickers-Torte super lecker. Ich hätte mich über etwas mehr Gemüse in der Auswahl gefreut, aber das, was es gab, war perfekt.

INCRED

The restaurant itself is really nice and staff super friendly and helpful and oh my gosh the food! We had croquettes to start which somehow tasted cheesy and like Christmas at the same time. The francesinha was beautiful my partner loved it and I adored the vegan salmon, especially the potatoes which were SO creamy. Finally we shared parfait which was also lovely. We went at lunch time but I'm sure its fantastic in the evening as well.

Highly Recommend

Amazing! Beautiful, clean restaurant - great vibe! Food was fantastic. We had the octopus, croquettes, seitan steak with mustard sauce (the best!), and snicker tart! If you only eat one thing: get the seitan steak with mustard sauce. But honestly, everything was good, and plenty. We shared among two people, and it was more than enough.

Pros: Excellent and interesting food! , Lovely ambience, Friendly service

Loved it/adorei

Adorei este lugar. Bom ambiente, staff incrível, localização maravilhosa. Adoro poder comida portuguesa na versão vegan deliciosa. As croquetes de alheira eram muito boas. Eu pedi “salmão” (tofu) com as batatas cremosas estava muito delicioso. O meu amigo pediu o bitoque, que estava bom mas após algum tempo o molho que é à base de mostarda pode ficar um pouco enjoativo (talvez num pão como seita na ficasse ótimo 😋), os acompanhamentos tradicionalmente maravilhosos elevaram o prato. A apresentação e porções também eram muito boas e o preço justo. Estávamos muito cheios para poder pedir sobremesa. No geral, um local muito acolhedor que toda a gente interessada em comida portuguesa na versão vegan deveria experimentar.

Pros: Service , Food , Location

Cons: Limited options ( more PT tradicional deserts)

One of the best vegan restaurants I’ve ever been to

I came with 5 of my friends (I was the only vegan) and everyone gave it 5 stars. The service was lovely: they gave small complimentary desserts for those who didn’t get any, they were patient with us, and gave us a lovely large wooden circle table.
The interior is also very well decorated

Pros: Seitan steak, Nutella cake, Service

Epic mustard flavored seitan

Nice place and location. All vegan menu, good beer. I tried the seitan steak with mustard flavored sauce and it blows my mind, one of the best seitan plates i ever tried, it also come with fries, some rice and salad. The price was normal.

Pros: Nice place and attention, Incredible seitan steak, Not overpriced

Cons: Does any restaurant has A/C on lisbon???
