Probably the worst, disorganised, filthy restaurant I've reviewed on Happy Cow in 7 years

This was not a good experience!

Pros: The view of the beach

Cons: Hygiene , Organisation , Quality

Great food and view, exemplary staff

This place has a gorgeous view, and I loved trying the veganized Portuguese dishes on our first day in a Portugal. Food was of good quality and server Thibault was stellar, maybe my favorite server ever! Only downside was high cost and had to pay in cash. But it’s definitely worth it for a nice meal out!

Pros: Vegan menu section, Best server ever!

Cons: Cash only (Feb ‘22) , Rather expensive

Interesting and tasty vegan food, very friendly staff

Good selection of vegan food at this unassuming restaurant - we greatly enjoyed the veggie curry, the braised tofu, and seitan pepper sauce in particular, and went back a second time for the veggie curry.

A number of the staff are Angolan, and are so friendly and helpful. It was wonderful to have time to speak with them and hear about their experiences. The owner took time to explain her menu choices to us, and her passion for food and for her team is apparent. All of this added to a great experience, and I would recommend a visit to Safari.

Pros: Tasty food, Friendly staff, Beachfront location

Great food

Good vegan options clearly labelled and staff are knowledgeable about the options too. The entrance is a bit weird as you have to go through a shop to get to it but apart from that it’s a lovely place. We sat on the balcony and had amazing views of the sea. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly

Pros: Good options , Clearly labelled , Decent price

Cons: Don’t take credit cards - cash only

Good.

The seitan was prepared very well. Portions were not too big and the interior was a bit chaotic. But the staff was very friendly. Blankets available for cold evenings on the terrace.

Pros: Tasty, Friendly staff

Super cool spot with nice staff and lots of vegan options

The place is located in a super nice location, by the beach.
Staff was very nice and we were surprised by the many vegan options offered, all labelled on the menu!
We tried the mushrooms as a starter and also the banana ceviche which were super good!
Food looks very fresh and is tasty.
The only negative point is that the place is a bit expensive... But I recommande it anyway though 😊

Pros: Lots of (labelled) vegan options , Nice portions , Location

Cons: Price

Very Authentic Flavors

The owners Francisco and his wife were very helpful and genuine. His children eat vegan so this inspired them to create a menu that keeps everyone happy. They even had a vegan buffet day that got disrupted because of covid but hopefully they bring that back sometime soon.

Pros: Section on the menu dedicated to vegan dishes., Vegan, starters, main dishes, and dessert

Expensive!

Food was lovely, but I don’t feel like you get enough for how expensive it was, me and my partner were not full enough for 45€. We had olives (1€ for about 8), one cocktail each, a bottle of water (which on the menu said 1L, but actually was 750ml) I had the seitan with rice and my partner had the chicken curry (which was mostly sauce with chicken thighs that still had the bones in, he actually hardly got any chicken!). Portions are very small for the price you pay.

The owners and staff are very friendly, but due to the price and small portions, I will not be returning☹️

Not bad but slightly overpriced

The food is alright - my seitan was a bit sweet for a main course and the side salad could use some seasoning, but other than that it was pretty good. There is a good selection of vegan options and even the special Sunday meal can be veganised. Not sure if worth the price.

Pros: Nice view of the beach, Multiple vegan options

Cons: Pricey
