Best vegan restaurant in Lisboa - Edit
Multiple typical Portuguese dishes made vegan, tasting amazing.
Read moreDesserts are alright, though not that great compared to how amazing the other dishes are.
Great service, spoke Spanish and English besides Portuguese.
As an expat coming to Portugal after going vegan, it was a ratatouille-like experience.

Disappointing - Edit
We absolutely cannot support the good reviews, we expected great food but everything was very low quality, the burger dry, the dishes cold, it looked like the chef doesn’t like cooking. It’s a mistery as to how this place has been top rated, the others in Lisbon play in a whole other league. Service tried their best but the kitchen was completely disappointing. How can you make convenience food like beyond meat taste bad?

One of my top restaurants in Lisbon atm - Edit
Kong is currently one of the best vegan restaurants in Lisbon, in my opinion. I have been a client since they started in the previous location and it is a joy to witness their evolution. The restaurant is spacious and suits everyone - people eating alone, couples, groups of friends, birthday dinners, etc -, and it's pet friendly. The staff are very nice and polite people. As for the food, the flavors and the quality are awesome. It is one of those restaurants where I am not afraid to try different dishes, even the ones that sound more of the simpler side, that I will not be disappointed. The menu changes from time to time, which is nice to try new dishes along time. Don't skip the entries, they are usually super good.

“You Know The Name Of King….” 😄 - Edit
Read moreAfter a long morning’s exploration of the lower town, visiting the primary tourist attractions and navigating the bustling back alleys, we were eagerly anticipating lunch. Kong was recommended as a top establishment for vegan cuisine, prompting us to embark on a quest to find it. (Given our unfamiliarity with the area, it took some time to determine the correct coordinates to locate the restaurant.) As the first two patrons to dine there, we were greeted by a downstairs foyer adorned with an elaborate “Kong” sculpture. From this foyer, we ascended to the restaurant. Since there were no other customers present, we were presented with a selection of tables. Once seated, I opted for a bottle of Coca-Cola, which arrived in a bottle (similar to Mexican Coke in the United States). It proved to be an ideal beverage to quench my thirst.
For my starter, I indulged in a fried “calamari” dish, reminiscent of the appetizer I had enjoyed at another restaurant the previous evening. (When I was not vegan, fried calamari was a staple on menus; for me, it serves as a barometer for the quality of the meal to follow. If they can master calamari, I am confident that the entire dining experience will be satisfactory.) While the dish was satisfactory, it was slightly less impressive than the appetizer I had had the night before. Nevertheless, it was still a commendable offering.
For my main course, I opted for the conventional burger (which featured Beyond Meat). The burger was edible, albeit slightly thicker than I prefer. (Aside from Burger King, which serves its burgers with a thinner patty, the thickness of this burger was somewhat unappealing to me.) Nevertheless, it was a decent burger. Jay opted for a croquette starter and the special “Tofu Wellington,” which consisted of tofu encased in puff pastry. Both dishes appeared appetizing.
In summary, we both enjoyed our meals at Kong and will undoubtedly return to experience their Christmas menu.
Pros: Great atmosphere!, Awesome service!, Fine vegan dishes.
Cons: Not a fan of Beyond Burger, sadly.

Amazing Vegan Food - Edit
While exploring Lisbon, we stumbled upon a charming restaurant called Kong. It’s not the most eye-catching place from the street, just a chalkboard on the sidewalk that gives it away. But once we stepped inside, things got really cool. You’re greeted by a giant Kong statue in the lobby! Take the stairs to the right, and you’ll pass by an overlook into the kitchen. At the top of the stairs, you’ll find a spacious dining area with several tables overlooking the street art-covered building across the street. And guess what? We were warmly welcomed by a server who promptly seated us. Oh, and did I mention that the same server was our server for the entire meal? He was super friendly and even explained the menu in detail. They had a great selection of traditional Portuguese dishes, but all of them were vegan. I started with the croquettes, which were delicious - crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with a fantastic flavor. For my main course, I tried the daily special, Bife Wellington, and a local brew of Musa Golden. The croquettes were great, but the Bife Wellington was a bit of a letdown. The mushroom duxelle with spinach was a tad light, the tofu was too thick, and the bottom of the puff pastry was a bit soggy, probably because of the duxelles. I won’t be ordering it again, but I’m definitely going to come back to try some of their other dishes. While we were there, they had set up a photo shoot with their Christmas dishes, and let me tell you, they looked absolutely stunning! I hope on my next trip, I can bump up my review from 4 stars to 5.

A must go to in Lisbon! - Edit
Was not sure what to expect, not a big menu and had friends who are not vegan. 🌱 Needless to say they wowed us with everything!! Started with the croquettes-umm the picture says it all, three of us had the “steak and egg” and one person had the kong burger. Then we ordered desserts to share. Everyone left happy and content!! Would absolutely recommend them!!

Love KONG!! - Edit
I love Kong's food ! So tasty and flavourful! The price is amazing for the quality and very similar to an honest greens (in terms of prices). If you want a vegan version of a traditional Portuguese dish, this is the spot. Since I've been recently, I will say that they have changed their menu and sadly took one of my favorites, but added a very good new one: the salmon.
