Great service and unique atmosphere - Edit
We had a very nice dinner here on our first vacation day in lisbon. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was really delicious and they also offered vegan versions of traditional portuguese dishes. The decoration is very creative and nicely arranged. Would definitely come here again!

Mixed feelings - Edit
The food is usually very very good, but once I had the daily dish towards the afternoon and it was cold :l so would not recommend that. If you order from the menu or comes earlier it’s a safer bet

Ótima comida e atendimento - Edit
[PT/ENG]
Read moreA comida é muito boa! Eu amo encontrar restaurantes veganos que ofereçam a comida típica do local, pois não me sinto por fora de uma das “atrações” turísticas.
Os funcionários também são super simpáticos e atenciosos, com certeza vou voltar 🌟
(Outro ponto positivo: a água e a coca cola vêm em garrafas de vidro! #plasticfree )
The food is very good! I love finding vegan restaurants that offer local food, as I don't feel left out of one of the tourist “attractions”.
The staff are also super friendly, I will definitely come back 🌟
(Another plus: the water and the coke come in glass bottles! #plasticfree )

Great vegan alternative to classic Portuguese cuisine - Edit
If you’ve always wanted to try traditional Portuguese food but realised it’s all meat, eggs, and diary, look no further! You can grab all these dishes with vegan alternatives here and they are great

Vegan renditions of Portugese staples - Edit
Great looking food, plentiful options and completely vegan menu! The croquettes were tasty as was the tomato rice! The salad was amaze! The seitan steak and fish looked remarkably like the originals but wasn’t my favourite in terms of taste. Still, definitely a worthy visit! Edit to add - the snickers tart was YUM!

Delicious food - Edit
We had a Bruschetta as a starter and it was very very delicous. However, the Seitan at the Main dish was way too hard and at some places it was really rock solid. Should have been way more tender. The Snickers cake as dessert on the other hand was SO GOOD, solid 11/10
Read morePros: 100% vegan, Best Snickers cake
Cons: Seitan isn‘t that good

Awesome food, great place, bit high prices - Edit
The food is simply amazing, very well balanced and tasty. The environment is really nice. It's bad that the prices ate a bit on the high end, which prevents us to go there more often.

Good food but prices are a little bit high - Edit
scolhemos os croquetes de alheira e queijo e os cogumelos recheados com bacon e queijo como entradas. Os primeiros, bons para quem aprecie sabores mais "carnívoros", considerando que a alheia é bastante realista; os segundos, precisavam claramente de mais sabor. Como prato principal provámos o famoso bitoque com molho de mostarda. Gostámos da dose, estava bem servida, com boas batatas fritas e um arroz simples, e o bife de seitan estava bom mas o molho de mostarda não conquistou... Sabia demasiado a mostarda de pacote. Em relação às sobremesas, pedimos o cheesecake de caramelo salgado e a mousse de oreo. O cheesecake tinha um sabor mais forte a amendoim do que a caramelo e a mousse estava boa, mas sem história. No geral, gostámos, mas sentimos que a relação qualidade-preço ficou a desejar.

Try the snickers cake! - Edit
Nice visit on a hot day. Had the King Burger which was tasty, and for dessert we had a wonderful snickers cake to share. We really wanted to try the cheesecake and nutella cake as well but were too full. I would recommend a visit simply to try the desserts!
Read moreStaff was nice and we enjoyed our visit! We planned to go back for another visit but the restaurant was closed on sundays.

Delicious vegan restaurant - Edit
We enjoyed so much the food there. They have the vegan version of some typical portuguese dishes. Franzesinhas were a bit too much though, do check online what it is first to be sure that you want to eat it 😂

Vegan Portuguese dishes and excellent service - Edit
We went to this place spontaneously after our toddler fell asleep in his pushchair. Even though it looked small from the outside there was enough space in the back of the restaurant. The service was excellent - very friendly and accommodating - and I liked that they had vegan versions of Portuguese dishes. Would definitely recommend.

Great find - Edit
100% vegan, great service and delicious food. My husband and I tried the croquettes and cauliflower wings, both were very good. Would have liked a more creative dipping sauce- they served barbecue sauce and duck sauce. I got special tacos, they were beans and guacamole topped with vegan cheese with a side salad and salsa. I loved it.

One of the best vegan restaurants we went so far - Edit
I highly recommend the starters - the croquettes were just awesome. The bruschetta was nearly as good.
Read moreThe main courses (we had the happy octopus and the seitan steak) were also very good, the mustard sauce coming with the steak was the highlight here. Though, complaining on a very high level, I would have expected, that the false egg tastes a bit more like egg (use more kala namak) since it was also tried to really look like an egg. Same for the octopus (made from mushrooms), which had no fishy flavor (easily done by adding some algae). Though, again, these complaints are on a very high level. The food overall was awesome. For dessert we had the oreo mousse and the Snickers tarte. Both were just awesome!
Overall in this restaurant they obviously have a very great chef who has additionally an eye for great decoration. Since many vegan restaurants sadly work on a snack bar niveau, this is an even greater plus :)
Additionally the service was on a very high level. Very friendly, fast, good English. And the price was not high!
Pros: Very tasty food, Very good service, Nicely decorated food

Awesome Portuguese food VEGAN style!! - Edit
Lovely little place with a big heart and friendly staff!
Read moreLove the fact they’re trying to keep to a mainly traditional menu. (which cannot be easy for a meat loving seafood nation). I had the francesinha “meat” sandwich wrapped in cheese and drenched in a tomato and beer gravy!! ( if I suggested this to anybody; I’d be locked away or told to “go away you crazy drunk”) it’s a twist on the French sandwich croque monsieur I do believe… It also gets served with French fries. I’m assuming to mop up all that tomato and beer sauce!! It was interesting to say the least..
The fact these guys are trying to veganize local food is my reasoning for the full 5 ⭐️ 🌱❤️ Good work Kong 🦍
Pros: All vegan , Great staff, Some unique dishes for us vegans to try..
Cons: Not what I can see!

OMG - Edit
I am SO happy we ate at kong and managed to try some of Lisbon staple dishes but veganised. The service was friendly and helpful. Everything is vegan so order whatever you want. I have to recommend the snickers pie at the end for dessert..it was so good we bought a second piece to eat at the hotel later on.

Great weekday lunch or traditional food - Edit
Their weekday lunch menu is €9.50. I came when it was cauliflower wings, Brazilian bean stew, and Oreo mousse, and it was delicious. I had to take the mousse to go! I came back to try a traditional Portuguese dish, Francesinha for €12.50, and had leftovers. The food is great and the staff are nice.
