Delicious and Affordable Lunch - Edit
I went here for lunch by myself. I'd tried to go a few days earlier with a friend for dinner but it was full.
Read moreThe black wooden tables and dark, plastic chairs stood on a wooden, dark brown floor surrounded by orange walls. In a corner there was a tiny jungle with plants and a large statue of a gorilla - the symbol of Kong.
I had the Lunch Menu which included a starter, the dish of the day and a dessert. The dish of the day was a risotto. I picked the cauliflower wings as my starter and the oreo mousse as my dessert. All of this cost cost only 12,90€. To drink I had a caipirinha. Everything was absolutely delicious. The cauliflower wings very crunchy, the risotto was creamy and the oreo mousse was the best oreo dessert I've ever had. On top of this the service was flawless.
I had a great time at Kong and would love to go back.

Amazing!!! - Edit
Incredible food and super friendly staff! I brought here my non-vegan friends and everyone loved the food and the environment. In case you have a secret Santa dinner and someone brings a head basket game they will play with you😄

Some great options - Edit
Staff were lovely and helpful.
Read moreThe ‘octopus’ is nice and dished beautifully but the texture of the mushroom is somewhat chewy although the rest of the dish tasted great.
The Francesinha wasn’t to our liking but perhaps this is because we are not Portuguese so the pairing is odd to us.
The desserts are fantastic, I’d highly recommend the Oreo mousse but the others we’ve tried were also great.
Interior decor is nice, food served promptly and prices not unreasonable.
Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great desserts, Nice staff
Cons: Fries are dry

Delicious Portuguese food - Edit
When travelling, my partner and I always try to find some vegan alternatives to taste traditional cuisine and this place provided exactly that. Everything was delicious. We particularly loved the spicy croquettes, the Peixe vegano, the Polvo feliz à lagareiro and the Francesinha, and honestly, we wish we could've tasted the entire menu.
Read moreStaff was kind and courteous. We arrived on a busy night without a reservation and they were very gracious to us, and found us a table as soon as they could. If you can, I recommend ringing them and making a reservation if you've got plans to go! They were also very nice, polite and helpful throughout service.
Loved this place and would recommend it to any vegan or person interested in plant-based meals for an authentic, savoury Portuguese experience!
Pros: Traditional food with a creative vegan twist, Flavorful, Nice staff and atmosphere

Read morePros: Ambiente, Comida tradicional portuguesa, Preço muito em conta para tanta qualidade:)

O melhor de Lisboa - Edit
Fui duas vezes durante a minha estadia, na primeira pedi o prato do dia que já foi um arroz maravilhoso, mas na segunda pedi o peixe da casa, com arroz, tomate e feijão e é simplesmente incrível! Um dos melhores pratos que já comi. Recomendo!

Gutes Essen, super Atmo - Edit
Wie in allen bisher besuchten veganen Restaurants in Lissabon ist hier am Essen nix auszusetzen. Das Personal ist aber auch noch besonders freundlich und es gab heute einen Restaurant-Hund zu Besuch, was wohl nicht jeder toll findet, ich aber schon. Der Oktopus aus Kräuterseitling ist sehr kreativ und sowas lustiges hab ich noch nicht gesehen. Der Burger ist - anders als bei den meisten - nicht selbst gemacht, sondern mit Beyond Meat Patty. Geht aber ja auch klar.

Delicious - Edit
I got the fish dish, and my partner got the grilled cheese in tomato soup. Both were pretty good. Only complaint is that the fries were super bland and needed salt pretty badly. I would recommend this especially if you want to try some authentic Portuguese food.

My not so vegan friend found this pearl; with some traditional Portuguese food - Edit
Our last night on the weekend trip, we found this place. Funny how there is ‘fish’ on the menu, but it ain’t animal and you do not have to ask if it is really vegan. We tried; cauliflower wings, croquettes, champion, happy octopus and cheese sandwich. It was a lot, tasted delicious. I’m not the kind of dessert type so I rather eat more of my plate.

Pros: Fully vegan, funny names on the menu, Central place and good price, A lot of different choices/dishes
Cons: Small for groups, suggest reservation 3 or more, Non-vegans will not know that it is all vegan 🤣, Want to try everything but to far for us
