Shady oasis - Edit
Such a treasure of a find. Shady spacious terrace, lovely small plates. We had croquettes, tofu empenada and rissole - fresh and flavoursome. Delicious fresh juice too - watermelon and mint. Just 2 mins from the station but tucked down on a quieter street. Very handy for a break between the two main tourist bus routes and all the sightseeing. Lovely staff too!

Many options and great hummus - Edit
Really great place. We got the starter with hummus and olives and the vegan feta cheese on the side and loved it. We didn’t love the tofu sun-dried toast as much though. There is a lovely outside sitting area with plants and shade.

Did not disappoint - Edit
I was a bit scared of going here, as I had some bad experiences going to popular touristic cities with only a small vegan selection. However, im very happy and grateful for this place!
Read moreI had a quiche which came with a side salad, that was surprisingly big. The quiche was very good, the dough crispy and the filling soft and well flavoured. The slize was quite big as well, so it was definetely good to stop here before visiting the national park. I dont know what it was about the salad, but it tasted so special. Like something about the seeds or in the dressing have it this very particular great taste.
Pros: Close to the main station, Good pricing, Good portion size

Lovely quick lunch - Edit
We were in a bit of a rush as we were on a tour and they were lovely and accommodating. We got the starter to share, a falafel bowl each and then a tofu empanada to go.

Worth the trip to Sintra alone :) - Edit
Sintra is beautiful, but this gem was worth the train fare there from Lisbon alone😄was lucky enough to go there on a Sunday, so got to try their brunch special, which was huge. The staff was friendly and very attentive, and sent the leftovers with me, perfect as a packed lunch for the hike out to Cape Roca. The brunch consisted of yoghurt with topping and fresh fruits, a glass of juice, amazingly fluffy pancakes , a huge toast and coffee/tea.

Tasty and healthy - Edit
The food was very good. The seitan empañada was very tasty. The house burger was a little bit on the “health vegan” side for me, and quite soft and breaks apart, and they don’t offer fries, and I personally am not a fan of just a green salad with a burger, but the flavours were good. The dish of the day was very good, a delicious tofu “fish” in a spinach sauce with perfectly cooked potatoes. Quite expensive.

Was so happy to find this gem in Sintra. After hours of walking outside I was starving and this delightful restaurant served up a delicious black bean burger. Very nice staff. Good 90s/00s jams playing, too.

Nice escape from the rain! - Edit
My friend and I enjoyed the daily special, which was a squash and chickpea curry, and shared a piece of cake. It was warm and nourishing on a cold, rainy trip to Sintra, and the respite we needed. Not the most punchy and not at all spicy, but we enjoyed it. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Mostly great - Edit
This is a fully vegan restaurant very close to the Sintra train station, so a must-visit if you are doing a day trip in Sintra. I had the special of the day, which was a sort of stew that I found a bit salty but had excellent seitan in it. My partner had an empanada that was ok and a soup that felt a little nondescript. The desert was tasty but crumbly, the coffee a little watery, but overall we did enjoy our meal. Prices were fair for the location and the service was very friendly.

Cons: Not everything was stellar, Bad coffee
