Fully vegan 10 course tasting menu for a reasonable price

(Visited February 2026)
Booked this place for the vegan 10 course tasting menu. There are two sittings per night and the tasting menu is at set times (so you have to leave if first sitting) and you need to book if you wish to have the tasting menu The venue is slightly further away from the main area of town but was still walkable for us. There is an open kitchen and we enjoyed watching the courses be curated.
The jug of sangria we shared was lovely and the food was excellent, it felt like a special treat and it is very rare to find a fully vegan tasting menu. I also cannot fault to price which was INSANELY CHEAP for what felt like a special upmarket experience. There were some courses we enjoyed more than others and next time we would go back and order our favourites.
We ordered some bread on the side as we felt we may go hungry but the courses did get larger as the night progressed and with the bread it was perfect for us.
Overall an excellent experience that I would recommend highly - this really felt like a treat!

Amazing value tasting menu

The tasting menu was a great experience to try lots of different dishes, and such amazing value at 40 EUR for 10 courses. We booked a table inside which felt a bit nicer than the outside bit which was quite crammed. The staff were friendly but did seem a bit rushed to get us out of our table by 9.15ish for the next tasting sitting - they have a bit of an operation going on to get the two sittings done. would highly recommend though for the price and quality of food!

Fun Experience!

We went here because we heard about the tasting menu online.
The ten course meal was such a fun experience. The portions were quite small, but at the end of the menu, we were so full!
We had both the wine and the non alcoholic drinks with the menu. Both were very well matched with the served dishes.

The amtosphere inside the outside seating area was cozy and the service was quite fast. However, the area around the restaurant didn‘t feel just as safe, as there were groups of homeless people sitting right next to the cabin-like structure.
One of the waiters also seemed rather grumpy, so the service (albeit fast) didn‘t feel all too welcoming.

All together, we figured that the tasting menu should be seen more as an activity rather than a quick filling meal.

Pros: Quick service, Well matched drinks, Fun eyperience

Menù ricercato

Menù gustoso e ricercato, in cui le verdure, soprattutto fermentate, sono le protagoniste.
Ottime le preparazioni a base di funghi.

Expected more

We did the tasting menu. Food was ok, well executed but nothing wow. Some dishes were good, others were ok, and others we ate out of not wanting to waste food. I would suggest booking a table inside as the outside area can be a bit rough (homelessness/drug addiction). The street also stinks of piss so every so often you can pair that with the food.
Unfortunately, miles away from other vegan places in Lisbon such as Kong, 26FoodProject and A minha avó.

Even better than expected...

The excellent reviews that this place has are thoroughly deserved.

We had the tasting menu, two of us with the paired wines and one with the non alcoholic fermented drinks and everything was delicious.

The menu was imaginative, balanced and well-executed.

We all left full and very happy. This was as good as anything we have eaten in Lisbon and very reasonably priced.

Pros: Tasting menu, Creativity in dishes, Nice atmosphere

Teuer und kleine Portionen

Hat uns nicht überzeugt. Das Teilen und das langsame Bedienen hat nicht gestört, aber teilweise Mini Portionen und viel zu voll und eng. Dadurch auch sehr laut. Außerdem ist man zeitlich begrenzt…

Uma experiência memorável!

Avaliação:
Adorei a minha experiência no O Gambuzino. A comida estava absolutamente deliciosa, preparada com muito cuidado e cheia de sabor. O atendimento foi impecável, muito simpático e atencioso, e o ambiente é acolhedor e tranquilo. A sobremesa foi simplesmente divinal e fechou a refeição da melhor forma. Sem dúvida um restaurante ao qual voltarei e que recomendo vivamente!

outstanding tasting menu

I've had the good fortune of trying several multi-course veg*n tasting menus. This is one of the best I've had, and definitely the very best for its price. The courses were creative and interesting, and actually filling by the end. It had some of the obligatory fancy restaurant tropes (like foam: the "lemon air" was actually lemon foam, but even more airy, hence the name), but these didn't feel too ridiculous. One course had an extremely creative vegan "egg yolk" — it didn't taste anything like the original but looked spectacularly like it. So, it's fun without being silly.

I was less of a fan of the non-alcoholic drink pairing. The restaurant is big on fermentation, which is fine for the food, but the drinks were all fermented and just not that interesting to me. I'd say if you're a big kombucha person you would probably love it; if you're not, skip it — there are plenty of other options with and without alcohol. (I think if I'd known that's what it was I would have chosen something else, but when I asked the waiter what the pairing was, he wouldn't give me any useful description at all, which was frustrating in retrospect.)

Drinks aside, the food was terrific. Would definitely do this the next time I'm in Lisbon.

Pros: great tasting menu, creative food, filling

Cons: underwhelmed by non-alcoholic pairing

Delightful experience!

One of the best places in Lisbon! Incredibly tasty food full of different flavours and textures. Bring a big appetite, because portions are generous but you’ll want to try everything. We thoroughly enjoyed the falafel with hummus as a shared starter, the bibimbap & gado gado as mains and a shared cheesecake as dessert. Must visit in Lisbon!!

Edit: came back here as soon as I could and the food and service are still amazing!

What can be said about this wonderful restaurant that hasn’t been said a hundred times already? A thousand, or more times, even? O Gambuzino serves the kind of dinner you have your personal dreams about after. A real pants-changer. Go, go to O Gambuzino! For dinner!

Exquisite and creative vegan tapas

We tried 4 of the various tapas and found each delicious and very special in taste and composition. But the dessert (mousse au chocolate) topped everything ♥️! It is pricey, though, especially considering the amount of food you get - but quality has its price.

The tasting menu is worth it. The food is elevated, complicated, and you can tell that so much thought went into every element of every bite of food. We had a great time.

5 stars

Three of us went out for what we thought would be a casual dinner… and ended up having one of the most memorable food experiences we’ve had in a long time.

This vegan spot completely nails the small-plates concept. We ordered 12 dishes between us (yes, twelve 😄), and not a single one missed. Every plate felt thoughtful, balanced, and surprisingly bold—layers of flavor you just don’t always expect, even in great restaurants.

What really stood out was the variety. Each dish had its own personality, from rich and comforting to bright and fresh, with creative combinations that never felt overcomplicated. It’s the kind of place where sharing isn’t just recommended—it’s essential.

And the drinks? The vegan wine selection was just as impressive as the food. Perfect pairings, and clearly curated with care rather than as an afterthought.

The staff tied everything together. Warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic—they guided us through the menu without being pushy, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and special at the same time.

We came hungry, left completely satisfied, and are already planning our next visit. If you’re into plant-based food (or even if you’re not), this place proves just how exciting vegan dining can be.

Thank you for the kind review, Lia! Love that you three shared so much, that’s the spirit we love to see 🌿 It really means a lot to us when someone connects with our concept and the attention we put into every dish and detail.

Hope to have you back for round two!
