Read moreRestaurante bonito e acolhedor, funcionários simpáticos e boa comida. Sobremesas absolutamente deliciosas. Alterou o conceito na abertura pós-Covid - já não é um buffet. Agora tem menus servidos à mesa e apenas temos que escolher a bebida, o prato e a sobremesa, a sopa e o couvert incluídos no menu já estão selecionados.
Beautiful and cozy restaurant, nice staff and great food. The deserts are absolutely delicious. It changed its concept after Covid - it is no longer a buffet. Now it has menus served at the tables and we only need to choose the drinks, the main dish and the desert because the soup and the couvert included on the menu are already selected.
Pros: Preço, simpatia , Price, friendly

Excelente comida - Edit
A comida é excelente, o restaurante muito agradável e com um excelente ambiente. A nível de preço não é o mais barato do Porto, mas tendo em conta a qualidade da comida entende-se os preços praticados. Já fui duas vezes e é um sítio que recomendo para uma refeição mais calma e tranquila.

Very good buffet - Edit
Reasonably priced buffet hidden in a little street. Both cold (salads, seitan, olives, grilled vegetables, etc.) and hot items. Overall very good!
Read moreThey also have a long list of juices.
I have only been there once so I can't tell if the quality is always the same or if the food changes but I would definitely recommend if in the neighborhood.
Pros: fresh, tasty

Tastier than the DaTerra chain but cold staff! - Edit
The place is absolutely lovely and the buffet was offerring plenty of choices of cold and hot goodness. I kept getting some of that seitan cold plate that was absolutely delicious. I wish I had a bigger stomach to try the rest of the meals as they all looked so tasty0.
Read moreTheir juices as well were very good. I honestly thought the food quality was much better than what you can find in DaTerra.
Only drawback would be one member of the staff that was really cold and made us feel unwelcomed. I tried to smile several times at them to try and break the ice but they would just stare at me with a frown. :/
Pros: Vegetarian buffet, fruit juices, nice interior design
Cons: Cold staff

Awesome dinner buffet & desserts! - Edit
Went there for dinner with a bunch of friends and not only was the buffet very varied, but everything we tried was delicious! We also ordered each and one of the desserts they had that evening just to try them out and none were disappointing. All in all an enjoyable experience; will be coming back with the next occasion!

nojentismo - Edit
mais um espaço que explora os trabalhadores, o cozinheiro da noite é um bully homofobico e por causa dele muita boa gente já foi despedida, ameaça o pessoal de porrada em frente ah patroa e a patroa nao age, em vez disso toma o partido do cozinheiro, não passam contratos, despedem malta sem justa causa e prometem passar a carta para o desemprego, coisa que nao acontece. um terrivel ambiente de cozinha no geral e a dita sopa dos pobres é feita com o que vai para o lixo. há um enorme desperdicio de comida (inadmissivel tendo em conta que temos projectos como o food for life e o re-food no activo), mais um restaurante gerido por capitalismos sem etica e assim foi: 4 meses a dar o corpo ao manifesto para vir para o olho da rua sem ver direitos, com ameaças de porrada. o preço que pagam neste tipo de restaurantes nao é compativel com a qualidade: uma coisa é saber temperar a comida, outra coisa é usar produtos decentes e nao cheios de OGM. inadmissivel. vegetarianismo é muito mais que alimentação. para os clientes regulares: nunca se questionaram porque estao sempre a ver gente nova na cozinha ou na sala? e mais: quando se mete a mao nos colhoes LAVA-SE AS MAOS A SEGUIR e não se meche em comida... oops nao era para dizer, isso e deixar os tabuleiros de molho com agua de limpar o chão tambem é desnecessario, mas para quem nao faz nada quanto a ameaças de porrada tambem nao vai fazer nada quanto a estas e outras merdas
Read moreficou por dizer: os sumos "100% naturais" são traçados com agua, ou ainda nao se questionaram porque é que os sumos sao feitos fora da cozinha?

Buffet lunch - Edit
This restaurant is buffet only at lunchtimes. Well it was on the Friday I was there. Nevertheless the food was good. Though it confirmed for me that I don't like seitan though that's not the restaurant's fault. Food was tasty.

good but not great - Edit
You have to ask about everything in every plate, since the plant based options (or the athers) aren't labeled in any way. It was a bit lame to have to ask in a veg restaurant with a buffet the ingredients of every single plate. The desserts were a let down, almost all of them had animal products.
Read moreA bit pricey as well.
Pros: buffet, variety of plant based options, very nice place
Cons: no labels on the plates, few to none plant based desserts, a bit pricey

Even as a vegan you can find plenty of food for yourself! The place is very cozy and the customer service is top. If you feel a little bit lost they will take care of you and explain everything. I highly recommend this restaurant for everyone!

Very nice food at an affordable price - Edit
Lots of vegan options. When I was there, one of the dishes was a traditional portuguese sandwich (francesinha) whixh usually is not vegan - the made one for me, at the time - and it was delicious
Read morePros: Excellent food, Good value

They made it vegan, so, did they use a vegan cheese version? Or just serve it without a cow cheese? Cause that's not veganizing it.

cool restaurant - Edit
Very impressed with the food, friendly service and stylish decor. Choice of several veggie dishes in a buffet option. The mushroom& wild rice was my favourite. also veggie version of a portuguese meat dish. Good value for money. Tucked away down a side street but only few minutes walk from a metro stop & the beach.

Lovely buffet - Edit
Lovely place and friendly service :).
Read moreThe food is so good you'll leave the place feeling extra full (you just can't stop eating it).
The buffet has many vegan options but I think they need to use less soy/seitan options and more chickpeas, lentils, beans, etc.
Pros: Reasonable price, Place, Great food
