Tasty buffet!

Not everything was vegan, but the staff was helpful pointing out everything that was. Had some lovely seitan steaks and their apple crumble was a delish finish!

Always a good option

This is always a good place to go.
The dinner options I consider to be better than lunch, but always with a great taste.
The juices are very fresh and it is always good to be able to do my mixes.
A good price quality ration.

Pros: Friendly staff, All you can eat, Juices

Cons: Not 100% vegan

Great taste

Nice buffet with 3 main options and lots of extras. Staff is very friendly. But what really amazed me was the taste of the food, not heavy spiced and very flavoured with nice mixtures, really really good!

Muito bom!

Espaço agradável, com comida super saborosa, a preço acessível. No dia que fomos jantar o buffet tinha apenas opções vegan, o que foi ótimo para nós. Muito bom!

Absolute favorite restaurant in Lisboa

I ate out more or less every day for my 3 weeks stay here and this was the restaurant I enjoyed the most. Came back lots of times. I really love that they make vegan options of Portugese food, I highly recommend to not only eat the food but to read the names of the food and learn more about Portugese food culture!

Pros: Traditional Portugese food in vegan versions , Almost everything is vegan , Staff is amazing

Cons: Not everything is vegan

Buffet Variado com comida saborosa!

Vamos lá muitas vezes!
Espaço simples mas acolhedor, Buffet com cerca de 4 opções quentes (quase sempre 3 vegan), sopa e várias saladas frias. Sobremesas vegan disponíveis (gostamos muito do crumble de maçã!!). Comida não muito elaborada mas saborosa. Serviço simpático. Preço aceitável. Prático e rápido.

Best Buffet in Lisbon

This is one of those places that keeps getting better every time I go there. 90% of the stuff is vegan, the food is super tasty and the price is great.

Pros: Mostly vegan , Great price, Super tasty

Otima opção vegetariana perto do Campo Pequeno

Fui pela primeira vez ao Paladar Zen e a experiência foi muito positiva. Sopa muito saborosa, pratos bem condimentados. A moqueca de batata doce com tofu estava mesmo excelente!
Restaurante despretensioso e com uma boa oferta de alternativas vegan e vegetariana.

Pretty good

Always come eat here when in the Lisbon area. Very cheap, and food tastes good.

Only cons for me would be hours, and it can be a little difficult to find if you are going there for the first time.

Definitely coming back

We found ourselves comparing everything we ate in Portugal to Paladar Zen. The buffet options were great. The food was delicious. The dessert was heavenly. The service was okay/great. The price is great for a vegan buffet! It’s a little out of the way but worth the trip. I’m definitely going back to paladar zen when I return to Lisbon!

Best vegetarian/vegan buffet

This is an absolutely amazing place and it is a must-go for any vegetarian/vegan in town. I've been to a lot of vegetarian/vegan restaurants across Europe and this is the best buffet I have ever been so far.

Pros: all vegetarian/vegan

Boa comida

EDIT: Mudei a minha avaliação de 3 para 5 estrelas porque a qualidade e variedade dos pratos quentes melhorou. Tentem lá ir quando os burgers de beterraba estiverem no menu: são uma delícia :)

Excellent food and price, lots of options

This place has lots of options (particularly with salads and sides dishes) and usually clearly mark the buffet with what is vegan friendly (it's usually everything besides 1-2 hot dishes and some desserts). If in doubt, ask...the staff is very friendly. They have a rotating menu, and they usually update their website daily indicating the hot dishes being served that day. I highly recommend checking this out to be sure that you like what is being served the day you decide to go. That being said, the only time I was ever disappointed (it's nearby my apartment, so I go there a LOT) was when I was craving lots of seitan only to discover that they weren't serving it that day, but the other dishes made up for my unrequited craving with ease.

Pros: Excellent food and price, Lots of options, Rotating menu so don't get bored

Cons: Might not have what you are craving that day

Needs more Vegan options

Nice staff. Food level is good but not great. Needs more Vegan options. Dont see the point off making simple things like mayo non-vegan.

Pros: The price

Cons: The noise in the room

razoável

A comida é saborosa, mas estava a contar encontrar mais variedade tendo em conta o preço. Gostei muito das saladas frias, mas por exemplo nenhuma das sobremesas é isenta de açúcar, o que foi pena...

If only it was all Vegan...

...it would be perfect, for a all-you-can-eat buffet.
Really nice and friendly employees, the food is not gourmet, naturally, but very very tasty.
All dishes are identified like "vegeterian" or "vegan" - and they know the difference. Maybe one dish may be vegetarian, its almost entirely vegan.
4/5 for sure! :)

meh experience

This restaurant was disappointing. It is close to the Gulbenkian museum, so if you are in that area and hungry, i guess it would make sense to go there.

I had the dinner buffet, but none of the dishes were individually very good. The apple crumble was alright. The ambiance was nice and relaxed. All of the dishes were under-seasoned.

Pros: close to museum

Cons: food, service

Amazing buffet

The restaurant was quite crowded, so we had to wait for a free table, but it was definitely worth it. The waiter kindly showed what was vegan, which was the majority of the food. The restaurant looked fancy, but it was cheap, I chose from the buffet plus I had dessert and it cost me €11 :)

Pros: Delicious food, Lots of choices for vegans, Cheap food, tastes expensive :D

Cons: Small so it gets crowded
