Feel Good Food and Service

Tons of vegan options with a whole section of about 7 meals. Excellent service - they served us after their kitchen closed! We had the veggie burger and pasta bolognese. Both were tasty and satisfying. It’s the kind of food that tastes homemade because it wasn’t extremely salty. It wasn’t fancy, but it hit the spot.

Pros: Service, Value, Taste

Nice food, great spot

I'm sorry to hear about a colleague's less than stellar experience. I had a wonderful lunch chosen from a 95% vegan menu.

Lots of seating on the esplanade. Nice airy seating area inside.

A wide range of vegan dishes. The only one that wasn't was a starter with honey.

Pros: Nearly all vegan, Wide range of dishes, Nice outside seating

Disappointing

Where should I start... We sat down and the manager came to take our order, there was no menu because they were formulating the new menu (he said). It's fine, we understood. We asked him what could we eat as vegans. He gave us a couple options and we chose a tomato toast and an avocado toast. So far so good. After we waited around 15min, the manager said they were out of bread and someone went out to buy it. Again, no problem for us, we waited. 15min later he said they were going again to another supermarket because apparently there wasn't any bread. It seemed odd as it was a Wednesday and everything should be open at 12pm. 1h30 later we got our toasts. The avocado toast had cheese on it. We called the waiter (he didn't speak. Portuguese and his English was also not the best). He called the cook who was a lovely lady that brought us the menu and said the avocado toast had cheese in the menu. We explained we ordered vegan toasts with the manager and he had told us there was no menu. She remade the toast. We came to know that both the cook and the manager were new in this restaurant. I understand that there are misunderstandings but come on, there were only another couple guests in there as well. The toasts were good!
We asked for the bill and the price of the toasts were the same (almost 7eur each). As the tomato toast was only tomato and bread and the avocado toast had arugula, onion, tomato and radish, I found it unfair to pay the same price. I complained and they gave me a little discount finally admitting it was more that fair because we waited 1h30 to eat something which can easily be made in 10min.

Afterwards we were still very hungry and walked 5min to the closest supermarket (Lidl) and guess what? There were plenty of all kinds of breads.

In conclusion, not worth it. You better go buy some bread and humus in Lidl and eat it sitting on the beach.

Pros: The view

Cons: Staff with bad communication skills, Expensive for what it is

Amazing vegan find!

We stumbled upon here after stopping for a coffee. Was able to get the first oat latte of the holiday, have really struggled up til now to find a place that offered milk alternatives.
After spotting the menu we decided to go back for lunch and were not disappointed. My kids (aged 11 and😄were delighted to get a proper lunch instead of just chips, which is all we had found so far, and had no-chick nuggets and a vegan burger. I had the grilled veg skewer with sweet potato fries. They were really good portions, lovely presented and delicious. All with a lovely view!
They also made fruit mocktails for us all which were amazing.
Very reasonably priced and would definitely return and recommend. Lunch for 4 with drinks cost €45.

Pros: Vegan options, View, Service

Cons: None!

Bel emplacement

Le lieu est très bien placé, face à la mer. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié les cocktails. C'est entièrement vegan (pas seulement végétarien), nous y sommes allés un midi, la nourriture est bonne.

Buena comida frente al mar

Pequeña cafetería con una carta no muy amplia, pero suficiente. Comimos nuggets, hamburguesa, espetada de verdura y tofu y una tosta (llevaba queso feta pero a mí no me lo pusieron). De postre, pancakes

Pros: Estás en frente del mar, Precio asequible

Cons: Tardan en ponerte la comida , A los pancakes les hace falta más chocolate

Nice menu, great value

We tried the pancakes that was good but not so much taste. The burger was really good and the granola bowl had really good flavours.

(Be aware that some staff say the menu is all vegan, but others said its not).

You can also order coffee or ice coffee with oat, almond or coconut milk.

Pros: Clean, Good variety

Really tasty scrambled tofu

Great menu for breakfast and lunch. So much to choose from. The scrambled tofu was really well seasoned and came with lots of avocado. I'm sure I will return for lunch another day. The only downside was the oat milk cappuccino wasn't frothy at all, just like a white americano. For a vegetarian restaurant, I would expect them to use a good quality barista oat milk.

Cons: Unable to make frothy cappuccino with oat milk
