Wide selection, good atmosphere

There was a lot to choose from in a very affordable price! The service was warm and personal. I ended up eating way too much but I enjoyed the food, and the restaurant was cozy. Of course would love to see them going fully vegan!

Fantastic food, friendly service

We came to Setúbal for the day and found this great restaurant for lunch. The person who served us was very kind and patient even though we don't speak Portuguese. He explained everything. We got the complete meal, so it was soup, a huge variety of main and side dishes, dessert and coffee for 11.50 per person. I'm a big eater and I couldn't finish it all. They really know how to fill a plate! The vegan strawberry mousse was divine. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Setúbal.

Good food is good mood ☺

I've been to Canteiro several times and I'm always happy when I leave.
My menu included a soup (chestnut and bean soup), 5 "salgadinhos" and whatever I wanted from the warm main courses (I had seitan with coffee sauce, mushroom risotto, roasted sweet potato and spinach) and a desert (I had a strawberry mousse).
Everything was amazing 😍

Pros: A lot of vegan options, Delicious deserts, Several types of menus

Não satisfaz

Apesar do espaço ser acolhedor e o atendimento muito amigável, no geral não gostámos. Primeiro, não é buffet, segundo, devia estar escrito o nome das opções para facilitar a escolha, terceiro, alguns pratos saberiam melhor se preparados na hora de servir. Sobretudo na parte dos salgados, alguns eram claramente do dia anterior, estavam secos e sem sabor. As saladas não são temperadas na cozinha mas pelo próprio, de modo a não perder rapidamente a frescura, coisa que não satisfaz num restaurante que pretende ser buffet. Nos pratos quentes, gostámos do tofu em formato 'bacalhau à Brás'.
Louvamos o esforço, apreciamos haver este lugar em Setúbal, pois não haverá muitos mais. Voltaremos, à espera de melhor.

Pros: Boa variedade, Muitas opções vegan, Atendimento simpático

Cons: Confecção pouco apurada, Algumas opções não eram do dia, Pouca criatividade

Three and a half stars

I hate to give a veg place a mediocre review, especially where there are so few! Once we understood how it worked, my husband got the full lunch (11.50). They basically fill your plate with whatever items you choose, no limit. Plus 5 little "savory" items, soup, juice, coffee, dessert. I got just the plate with 4 savories. The atmosphere is very clean, pleasant and spacious, with a nice little dining area outside.
They very kindly brought out an English speaker to serve us, he was delightful. But virtually all the food was cold, even the soup. The seitan in gravy was super tasty and was warm. Some little savory items tasted good, a couple were just OK, but all were cold and a bit dry. Most of the salads were good as well. The dessert we got was chocolate mousse. The top was dry and rubbery, it was clearly sitting around uncovered for a day or two. Also, I think almost all of the items were vegan, but aside from the little savories, they were not clearly marked.

A Little Diamond

Vegan is difficult around this region. This place is the exception. No adjustment or omissions needed to the menu items so you can eat with peace

Pros: Desserts are fantastic , Super friendly

Cons: Not all staff speak English. (My bad-not theirs)

Disappointing

This place is very disappointing.
They don't differ very well from vegan and non-vegan. They used eggs on meals that were supposed to be vegan.
They need to teach the staff to understand clearly what means vegan. Also, need to clearly label
what is vegan, without a doubt.
The staff is very unaccountable.
I do not feel safe to eat here, to be honest!

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Lack of understanding , Unsafe for vegans , Unaccountable staff

Super leckeres kleines Buffet

Super leckeres Essen, nettes Personal und gutes Preisleistungsverhältniss. Wir würden definitiv wieder kommen.
Hatten 2x das komplette Menü mit Suppe, Teller vom Buffet, Saft, Nachspeise und Kaffee für jeweils 11,50€. War auf jeden Fall sehr ausreichend.

[PT/ENG]
O ambiente do restaurante é muito lindo e confortável! O preço da comida é justo, considerando que é possível fazer um pratão. A única coisa que tenho a dizer é que q comida estava um pouco fria, mas tirando isso estava delicioso!

The restaurant “environment” it’s really beautiful and cozy! The price is fair, considering that it’s possible to make a very full plate. The only thing that I have to complain is that the food was a little cold, but besides that, it was delicious!

Pros: Comida saborosa, Preço justo, Ambiente bonito

Great place and delicious food

Fully enjoyed the experience here:
1. friendly staff helped choosing from available options
2. great variety of appealing and tasty food, menus and combos besides buffet, e.g. salad, soup, pastries (baked, not fried), juices, smoothies
3. large place indoors with big tables well distanced from each other
4. smaller but pleasant place outside (balcony)
5. food is well labeled and the board behind the counter has all menus with respective prices

They mentioned that they serve brunch on Sundays! Already planning to come back :)

Pros: Very pleasant environment, Well prepared food, Welcoming and helpful staff

Cons: Balcony near the road but separated by plants

Boas opções, falta sinalização sobre o que é vegan

Buffet com várias opções vegan, os salgados são o ponto alto.
O senhor demonstrou incerteza quando perguntei quais eram as opções Vegan, o que me deixou insegura.

Pros: Boas opções

Cons: Falta sinalização vegan

Tasty and Ok Value

There were about a dozen dishes to choose from and a salad bar with about another dozen items. There were also three or four desserts and two juice choices. All of these are included in their lunch special, and the price for such is anywhere from seven to €10. The food was not life-changing, and it was a little bit bland, but it was a solid vegetarian meal.

Cons: A little bit expensive

Good selection of vegan food

The friendly staff were very helpful in pointing out what was vegan.
There was a lot of little tapas style choices.
There could have been more hot dishes.
It is a buffet but you don't help yourself. The staff ask you what you want. The smoothie was really delicious.
The vegetable soup was tasty. The savoury pastry snacks were nice.
There were a few puddings to choose from which was great. A treat for a vegan to have a choice of puddings! They were delicious.
I would definitely eat there again.

Pros: Great pudding selection.

Cons: As it had been raining we couldn't eat outside. , They wouldn't let our small very well behaved dog , inside. Understandable but annoying.
