Good but underwhelmed - Edit
I can’t give less than 5 stars to a vegan restaurant, but based on the reviews my partner and I were both a little disappointed. Definitely still worth going!

Amazing! - Edit
Great to have the option of Portuguese vegan dishes. We had the biteque and the francesinha and loved both. Kong is definitely worth the hype.

Great food! - Edit
The food was great! I had the croquets and the vegan cod, both were lovely. The servers were incredibly nice and the atmosphere was good. I travel alone a lot and was pleasantly surprised to find two other people dining alone in my section 😊

One of the best restaurant, I tested - Edit
Located in the center of Lisbon, this restaurant offers revisited gastronomic dishes.
Read moreThe very floral setting, with a green wall, is welcoming, as are the waiters and the chef, who asks for the opinion of every customer at his table, which I greatly appreciate.
I tasted :
- Their version of Portuguese croquettes, a delight with an excellent mustard mayonnaise.
- Mediterranean "salmon" with tofu, sesame, spinach and au gratin potatoes. A plate with an impressive circular presentation and an excellent taste of vegetable salmon!
- A chocolate cake with red fruit ice cream, beautifully presented!
In short, a fine gastronomic menu with a perfect welcome at one of Lisbon's finest restaurants!

Soberbo! - Edit
Simplesmente o melhor restaurante vegan que fui na vida. A simpatia e o caráter intimista com que o chef se dirige aos clientes com preocupação constante com o seu bem estar é de uma raridade incrível! Sempre atentos aos pormenores!

Great food, lovely place, and great staff! The chef comes to all the tables to talk to everyone. The choco frito and the entrecosto were absolutely delicious—one of the best vegan meals I’ve had in years.
I will definitely come back!!!

Authentic Portuguese Flavors — 100% Plant-Based - Edit
As a vegan, I was thrilled to have the chance to experience traditional Portuguese dishes made entirely plant-based. I can happily say I was not disappointed! They truly value quality over quantity — the menu isn’t extensive, but every dish is thoughtfully crafted. I highly recommend trying the croquettes and the bitoque!

Köstliches Essen / Bester Seitan in Lissabon - Edit
Wir waren einmal zum Abendessen dort. Die Location / die Einrichtung hat uns gut gefallen. Die Lage des Restaurants ist gut zu erreichen (auch mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln, zu Fuß). Am frühen Abend ist auch ein Tisch ohne Reservierung möglich. Als Hauptgang hatten wir Francesinha und Bitoque. Beides sehr lecker. Ich habe dort den besten Seitan seit langem gegessen. Der Käse bei der Francesinha hat super geschmeckt. Die pikante Sauce hätte schärfer sein können. Zum Nachtisch gab es Tarte de Nata und es war sehr leckeres Eis dabei. Der Service war gut. Das Essen kam zügig zum Tisch und war schön angerichtet. Der Preis ist der Qualität des Essens angemessen. Empfehle ich gerne weiter.

Fantastic - Edit
Five of us ate here this week – two vegans, one vegetarian and two omnis. Everyone loved their food. Between us, we had the pica pau, croquettes, cuttlefish, francesinha, risotto, bacalhau com nata, parfait and tarte de nata, all of it was delicious. It's great to be able to try vegan versions of classic Portuguese dishes.
Read moreThe staff were lovely and the prices are incredibly reasonable for such great food in central Lisbon. We'll definitely be back.
Pros: delicious food, lovely staff, good prices

Absolute must visit - Edit
Wow, what incredible food. My meal was so fantastic i had to return the following day to try more! The croquettes and the 'cod' were the highlight for me but everything I tried was delicious. So inventive and so much flavour. The staff were wonderful and the food was very reasonably priced. A must visit!
