Great food for sharing

I had already been to the original Espécie restaurant and loved it so I was super excited to try this location and it did not disappoint! Had the baos and the eggplant katsu sandwich and both were great, especially the sandwich.

Very nice vegan dishes tooo

I had the japanese curry with schnitzel. The schnitzel turned out to be a nice and crunchy fried eggplant. Excellent.

Solid lunch

LiI had a satisfying lunch experience with a diverse range of vegan options. The Kung Pao Cauliflower, followed by the bean chili, was particularly delightful. I left feeling full and content. The staff were friendly and offered great recommendations for vegan dishes.

Pros: Staff, Quick

KFC so good

Must get Korean fried cauliflower! Amazing. Katsu sandwich was also good. Tofu hummus a bit plain!

Lovely dinner

We had dinner there, the service was super nice. We ordered the tofummus which was a great surprise, the cherry tomatoes with the hummus and bread mix perfectly well; the baos, which were not our favorite as it lacked some flavor; and the schnitzel with japanese curry, again an excellent choice. For desert we had the cake of the day (chocolate cake), and we got a giant portion.

Pros: Super kind service, kitchen open non-stop from lunch to dinner

Cons: not everything is vegan

Generous portions & lots of options

Lots of options - my friend and I got some dishes to share. The waitress did warn us that it was too much and she may have been right! I really enjoyed the Cauliflower wings - sooooo good! I also loved the oyster mushroom pancakes. Really nice place with very friendly staff.

KFC and Chili

We went early (5pm) and because it's the off-season (Feb), the Cafe was empty. But the food was superb.

We shared the KFC Cauliflower, the vegan Caesar salad, and the chili. All dishes were great.

I had the chili and the breaded tofu, and the flavor were good but I found the portions to be too small, so don't come here hungry.

Pros: Accept card , Good flavor, Friendly service

Too good to eat just one time

That is why went a second time while in Porto! Great dishes especially the KFC and the oyster mushroom pancakes. Definitely recommend for vegans and non-vegans

Pros: Nice outside terrace , Cozy, Great fresh food

Pros: kfc wings , service, on ubereats if you do want to eat in hotel room

Cons: not fully vegan restaurant

Qué buen restaurante!

Es una opción increíble vegana y vegetariana. La carta no es muy grande (ayuda a no marearse para elegir) y tiene dos tipos de platos: columna izquierda las entradas o platitos para compartir, y columna derecha los primeros platos. Todo delicioso. Los dos postres un lujo. Pero lo mejor, por lejos, es la calidad del servicio por su personal. Un trato estupendo.

Pros: El servicio del personal, La calidad de la comida, El ambiente del lugar

Fresh, delicious & oh-so-satisfying

The majority of their creative menu is vegan, and many of their vegetarian dishes can be easily modified to be 100% plant-based. Ordered the corn, bean & sweet potato chili along with the tofummus and strawberry gazpacho (which was nothing short of mind-blowing). Finished with the incredible peanut butter, coconut & oreo tart!

Pros: Great location near the old city center , Fresh, locally-sourced ingredients , Multiple ceative, diverse vegan options

Good

Only tried delivery, but both the tofuhummus and curry tofu were good. Plus a quick delivery despite it being a Sunday and many other vegan places not being available for delivery (which I also understand)

Various vegetarian/vegan tapas


They offer many vegetarian and vegan tapas that a super delicious for a good price. Try the Korean fried Cauliflower that was so delicious but also a little bit to salty. Hummus with tortilla was also a good choice. From the grilled vegetables we have promised more. Anyway super location with tasty tapas for a good price and friendly staff!

Pros: Creative and vegan tapas, Friendly and fast service, Korean fried Cauliflower!

Underwhelming

Grand food. Our table didn't love the Bao.
The KFC cauliflower was great, spicy. The bread kare was ok, a bit too bland of breaded and curry sauce combination

Didn't finish our meal fully.

Would give it a 3.5, as I'm sure some people would love the Bao and breaded kare, just not to our tastes

Eat outside but look inside.

I was surprised that there was only one salad option.

Pros: Have the bean chilli with rice. Cleaned the plate., My vegetarian wife had the eggplant katsu sandwich

Cons: None
