Lovely restaurant with a great terrace

We had the vegetarian naked beetroot burgers (swapped couscous for chips). The terrace is lovely and the food was very filling.

El lugar es bonito y prolijo. La carta tiene diversas opciones veganas pero son de carácter simple. Las preparaciones más elaboradas son ovolacteovegetarianas.

Pros: Variadas Opciones Veganas, Precios Razonables, El lugar es bonito

Cons: Platos muy simples, Poco aporte nutricional

Fresh and affordable -5*

Raiz has a lovely terrace, with inside seating too, a few minutes from the centre of Sintra. They don't break for lunch, which is also handy if you've just come down from exploring the palaces.

We had the: tofu sandwich, which was lovely and flavourful with fried tofu; tempeh salad, well seasoned with quinoa and vegetables; and a healthy portion of chips and guacamole.

Add fresh orange juice, water, and a jug of sangria for under €45.

As others have said, it's annoying that you can't give somewhere 5* if they're not vegetarian. This was some of the nicest fresh food we've eaten in Lisbon and the surrounding area.

Pros: Close to centre , Nice atmosphere, Friendly staff

Cons: Limited vegan options, Not accessible (flight of stairs down)

Really Five Stars!

My wife and I ate at Raíz last night and it was amazing. Happy Cow doesn't allow five stars for restaurants that aren't totally vegetarian or vegan. Well on our trips around Portugal we have eaten at many fully vegetarian and vegan restaurants and the meals we had last night totally met or exceeded any we have had at any five star restaurants. The staff are great and you will not be disappointed!

Pros: Food is amazing!, Staff are fantastic!, Very cool vibe!

5 🌟 want to leave 5* but happy cow won't let me!!!

I've been in Lisbon for 3 weeks and tried all of the vegan places here. Went on a day trip to sintra expecting to be eating chips all day. Found this place and was BLOWN AWAY. So so so good, the Asian Tempeh salad was incredible. Service amazing, price good. Vegan options limited but the food was better than anywhere in Lisbon.

5⭐ over and over again

Walking around Sintra trying to find vegan food isn't easy, but how glad am I for walking down those steps and finding Raiz!

Food is very fresh, delicious, full of balanced and complimentary flavours. The tempeh salad is on a next level!

Great cocktails too!

Highly recommend and would give 5 stars if Happy Cow allowed it

Pros: Lots of vegan options in the menu

Good Salads and Sangria!

Nice salad options for vegans- can do the sweet potato, tofu or tempeh- you can also have them as Sandwhiches I believe.
I had the tofu salad with a tropical sangria and it for sure satiated is after a hike up to Pena Palace!
