delicious Portuguese traditional food with a vegan twist - Edit
Read moreAn incredible meal ! Everything was seasoned to perfection. From starter with Portuguese Croquettes and Fried ‘Cuttlefish' to Francesinha and Portuguese ‘Cod’ with Cream. We really enjoyed the dishes.
Just the desserts were a bit disappointing, especially the tarte de nata which was very bland and tasteless.

Great food, great service, great value - Edit
Has a great meal here tonight. We went in pretty late without a booking and they seated us
Read morehappily. Very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
We had the sandwich and the seitan steak, followed by the pineapple carpaccio and Nutella cake. The food came out fast. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. Staff were all very friendly, helpful and seemed to take great pride in their work. I can see why this place gets such good reviews. Would highly recommend.

We had reserved online and had said that it was for a birthday so we got a candle on the dessert.
The prices were absolutely okay, even though it is a nice and fancy restaurant.
I really loved it!!

Something different - Edit
I had the fake cheese with jam, their weird sandwich covered with sauce and the parfait as dessert. I had the opportunity of tastino something different and tipical of the portuguese cuisine, really appreciated. I would just suggest to balance more chocolate and mango in the parfait, because the chocolate was strong. Anyway everything was delicious.

I had the seitan steak which was okay. I heard the other dishes are better. The Nutella cake was really good though.

Good food, bad service - Edit
The food was great. Maybe the best I had in Lisbon. But absolutely the slowest service I’ve experienced in recent memory. It took over an hour between courses. Was hard to even get water refilled. It really put a damper on our experience.
Read moreThe food is veganized Portuguese classics. The salmon was especially incredible. My husband found the mustard sauce on the steak a bit heavy. The cheesecake was really cute but came with a shot glass of something that seemed too thin to be a sauce and too bland to be a drink - no one explained its purpose to us, they just plunked it down and walked away.
Pros: Inventive, Tasty
Cons: Horrible service, Expensive

Recommend for portuguese food! - Edit
This is one of the only places in lisbon where you can have Portuguese food!
Read more2025 update: delicious “bitoque”, rly well cooked seitan and sauce
Wow i rly tasted the salmon in the marinated salmon but the serving is too small
The nutella cake is not rly cake but more of a compact mouse, not my fav and also too small for the price
Cool atmosphere
Loved the "octupus" with baked potato, the texture surprised me! Its a nice rendition of the typical octupus made in the oven.
My portuguese non vegan dad had the "fried fish" with tomato rice, but the octupus was tastier and more familiar to the typical dish! Tomato rice rly satisfied him tho!
In the end we had the fantastic parfait

Fantastic bombastic - Edit
During just one week in Lisbon we had dinner there twice. The food looks gorgeous and everything we had tasted great.
Read moreMy husband is not vegan but recently stopped eating meat, so every time we go to a vegan place he is still a bit anxious whether it will be nice or not. Kong is one of the places that truly proves that no animal products are needed to make a meal delightful.

Definitely gives the WOW effect - Edit
It would be a shame not to come hungry to this restaurant, because their menu is amazing and it's worth going for a starter/main/dessert. We shared the cashew cheese as a starter and it set the bar high for the rest of the meal. It didn't disappoint when we tried some veganised Portuguese classics. The 'octopus' is made with mushrooms and the 'salmon' with tofu and nori. Everything was presented like a fancy restaurant, so we were pleasantly surprised by the very affordable pricing. There's nothing not to love about this place, from the dramatic entrance (you'll be welcomed by a gorilla statue) to the cosy and secluded interior on the first floor. Great experience overall!
