An absolute must when visiting Algarve!

My husband and I found this place after a long day at the beach, and what a find! We had the portobellos with cilantro and lemon sauce as a starter and had to keep asking for bread to savor every last bit of the sauce. It was THAT good. We then had the smoked tofu in chestnut sauce and my husband had the spinach croquettes, both of which had the most amazing Portuguese flavors. And, saving the best for last, we rounded off the meal with the snickers cheesecake, which can only be described as orgasmic. You MUST eat here if you’re in Algarve!

Pros: Exceptional service, Near the beach, Snickers cheesecake

Cons: None!

Mandatory

Since we discovered Raízes (thanks to happy cow!) we go there every time we’re down to Algarve. Everything is great. The snickers tart, the staff, the beach, the drinks, the decor, the seagull that eats cat food, etc etc.

I was very happy to see that they reopened during the COVID-19 pandemic very responsibly: digital menu, plenty of space, masks, and staff happy to help and explain the limitations/rules.

Pros: Snickers tart, Variety, Friendly staff

Incredible vegan place!

It was such a pleasent surprise to find it on our way back from the beach.
Our waitress was the loveliest human I think I met. She was super helpful and thoughtful.
The menu was vast, with a lot of different options. Me and my friend wanted to try it all.
There is an outside sitting area, and an inside area.
The food is made fresh and is healthy ! Definitely coming back.

Great vegan restaurant in quarteira

Great fully vegan restaurant. Great food with large doses. People are very nice and helpful. Prices ok with quite sizeable doses. The desert snickers tart is definitely worth trying. Yummy!
Also, we could bring our dog outside to be with us during the meal.
Will come back!

Pros: All vegan, great location (by the beach), gourmet

Cons: None really

Definitely worth a visit

We went to Raizes twice on our trip to Quarteira, once for dinner on my birthday and for lunch on our last day before going to the airport. We loved it both times. Not only is the food great, the service is also lovely, very friendly and welcoming and up for a chat. It’s not cheap but it’s great quality food and you know they care!

For lunch we arrived before they officially opened but they were happy for us to sit in their outside bit. Someone came to inform us that they’ll open soon and that they’d take our orders then but that we’d have to wait a bit after because first the staff eats and then they’ll prepare our food. Where we are from this is unheard of but that’s why we loved it even more😄

Pros: lovely staff, great deserts , varied menu

Great vegan food

This was one of only 2 - 100% vegan restaurants near to us when we stayed in Vilamoura so was much appreciated. Food was great - can recommend the courgette/ humus wrap as highlighted by another HappyCow review and the snickers pie. The staff were friendly( which seems to be the norm in Portugal ) and a great start to the evening out.
Apparently the owner have been vegetarian for 25 yrs and vegan for 5 so is a true crusader.

Pros: Great vegan food, Good value, Close to the beach and promenade

Great, can’t wait to go back

Nice vegan restaurant with friendly staff and a variety of vegan foods. We had the hummus filled courgette for starter which we loved (100% recommend). For mains we had the taco and black bean burger which were both nice however the taco was a little overwhelming but we really enjoyed the burger!😄We finished with the snickers cake which was lovely. Will definitely visit again soon, excited to try the cheese platter and other starters.

Pros: Fully Vegan , Friendly staff, Lovely outside seating area

Vegan Restaurant

The restaurant is confortable with a good vibe and the staff is nice; however, they take a long time to serve and it's a little expensive. If you go, make sure to try the Snickers tart (you won't regret it).

Good recently turned vegan place

The place is extremely cosy: there is outdoor seating, very close to the beach, with a lot of seating area.
We liked the food overall, even though it didn't completely astound us.
The spaghetti my partner had, which was seitan bolognese, was extremely bland, the type of food you make at home with no spices added.
I had a tofu steak with mushrooms, which was better than the spaghetti, but nothing impressive.
I mean this criticism as productive, as this restaurant has just turned 100% vegan and I congratulate them for it and wish all the best for the future!
Also, the dessert "bolo de bolacha" was extremely good!

Lovely food

I had the bean & quinoa burger which was yummy. I really loved the food, however it baffles me how the menu states its 100% vegan yet they serve fish.

Pros: Lovely decor , Tasty food

Cons: Serves fish (yet claim to be veggie/vegan)

The only fish/meat the restaurant serves is one "alternative" dish of the day. Apart from that, all the menu "a lá carte" is vegan, as well as the starters, desserts, smoothies etc

Great food and friendly service

My non-vegan sister and I (vegan) dined here last night and we were both very impressed. Great seitan and the passionfruit mousse was delicious! The service was very friendly and attentive. The price too was very reasonable. Good wine and the outdoor seating was lovely. Vegan for ever! Heal the world!

Pros: Great vegan food

Cons: None. This site won't let me rate 5 star. Why??

Utterly amazing!

Could not fault this gorgeous restaurant in any way, fully vegan menu, the food is fantastic, it’s relaxed, right near the beach and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The food is innovative and super tasty! Highly recommend the vegan cheese board, the oat burger is amazing and the chocolate brownie and passionfruit mousse were incredible. Great for families and have lots of smoothies, juices and take away snack bars etc too! So reasonable. Really worth a visit!

Pros: Fully vegan menu, Friendly staff , Really relaxed atmosphere
