Se fosse vegano...

A falta de sinalização de pratos veganos não me deixa dar uma melhor classificação. Num restaurante aparentemente tão dedicado a causas ambientais não faz sentido não ser completamente vegano.

Pros: Localização , Staff simpático, Instalações

Cons: Não vegano, Falta de sinalização , Caro

Amazing buffet but at a high price

If cost is not a problem this can't go wrong. There are a bunch of options of mostly adapted Portuguese cuisine, and all can be tried in pretty good buffet. Price, however , is steep including for beverages and dissert (which are an extra cost to the buffet). The staff is friendly and helpful and there's an exterior patio when weather allows it.

Pros: Amazing buffet, A lot of choice

Cons: Expensive

A superb buffet, perhaps a little overpriced

I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality and variety of food on offer here. For 16€ you get unlimited access to the buffet, which included several hot dishes, pizza, pasta, salad and veggies. I sat outside on the gorgeously decorated garden terrace, which had a really lovely ambiance. My main criticism would be that there was no indication as to which of the dishes were vegan, rather than vegetarian. I also felt that the restaurant was quite expensive, although I think the food itself does merit a high price tag.

Pros: Amazing pizza, A lovely outdoor seating area

Cons: Perhaps a little overpriced, It was unclear which dishes were vegan

Very few vegan options

Very Few vegan options, unmarked vegan or vegetarian food, well above average price, poor service by waiters. There are much better places in Lisbon and much cheaper

Cons: Very few vegan options, Expensive, Bad Service by Waiter

Food was okay

The buffet is mostly vegetarian, but an employee did point out to me what was vegan and what was not. Many of the dishes were greasy or too salty and in fact I mostly ended up eating soup which was delicious and hot! I suppose since I could not try over 2/3 of the dishes it is difficult to comment on those.

Pros: Soup was hot, Staff friendly

Cons: People took plates back to refill at buffet, eww!, Buffet area crowded and small, No signage on food to tell you what they are

Pros: At least it had some vegan

Cons: Staff looked depressed , 12.50 euros, Food was not hot

Great food and service - and also kosher-friendly

Feb 2019: Terra has a delicious, abundant, and varied buffet menu, In addition, the Lisboa Jewish community recommended it for those with kosher diets and we found them extremely accommodating for meals on Friday night. They can even provide supervised wines and make arrangements for payment. Highly recommended ...and also very popular: advance reservations seem to be essential.

Absolutely lovely restaurant

Very charming restaurant in a nice neighborhood perched on a hilly street. Inside, the restaurant was surprisingly extensive. We sat very comfortably in the front room, filled with people in lively conversation lingering over their dinners. The dinner buffet has more choices than you can eat, although selections that are finished are not necessarily replenished for the night. We were over-the-moon at actually being able to enjoy kosher wine with our meal -- and good wine too from Portugal. Great mix of filling foods, hot foods, salad foods and condiments. Dessert is ordered separately, and is definitely worth it! This was one of my favorite vegetarian restaurants ever.

Pros: Lovely dine-in experience, Kosher wine, Great food

Cons: Expensive, Buffet selections not necessarily replenished

Ok

Food was just ok, in my opinion not worth 15,90 € per person (thats how much the buffet costs in the evening). Buffet had many dishes to choose from, but most dishes that we tried were quite bland, for my taste they could use more salt. There were no labels explaining what each dish was, or if they were ovo-lacto or vegan.

Hardly any vegan options!

It says on the website "Most — about 80%! — of our dishes (desserts included) do not include any ingredient from animal origin." My friend and I trekked across Lisbon to find this place, and were very hungry by the time we arrived, only to be told that at the most, there was about 40% of the buffet that actually was vegan (salad, potatoes, aubergine fritters and a couple of other things).

It was already close to 8.30pm so we stayed as we didn't know where else to go, but the minimal selection we had was lukewarm and uninteresting. There were so many things that could have been made vegan - chickpea dishes with unnecessary grated cheese added, egg added to seitan (why?!), etc. To spend almost 16 Euros on salad, potatoes and rice - when there are so many other wonderful vegan options in the city - was galling, to say the least.

If you're vegan, don't go here. Find somewhere else. Even if you're not vegan, the food was lukewarm and desserts are not included
in the buffet price, so I would say, go somewhere else!

The one good thing was the wine - there is a decent vegan wine list and the house red is lovely.

Pros: Decent vegan wine list

Cons: Lukewarm food, Expensive if vegan limited choice, Desserts not included

Amazing vegetarian buffet

Vegetarian buffet, but the waiter showed us the whole range of vegan options, which are roundabout 80%. Very tasty :)

Pros: nice buffet

Average buffet in a cosy courtyard

I arrived quite late, around 9 pm. By this time a lot of the dishes in the buffet were almost empty and not very hot. I was a bit disappointed that there weren't more vegan dishes, it was about 50/50 when I visited. After a while the kitchen brought out some more falafel. The flavours of the buffet were good and quite varied although overpriced in terms of quality.

The cosy, leafy courtyard makes up for this somewhat however I found the service rather slow and inattentive.

All in all, an average buffet in a pleasant setting but I would opt for something more interesting that gives better value for money.

Pros: Nice restaurant and courtyard, Buffet is quite varied

Cons: Could have more vegan options, Inattentive service

Não atingiu as expectativas....

Depois de várias tentativas falhadas, conseguimos finalmente reservar uma mesa para almoçar num domingo. As minhas expectativas eram muito altas pois sempre ouvi dizer muito bem do restaurante. Não foram atingidas...
Quando reservámos disseram-nos logo que só haveria mesa na sala interior. Têm realmente uma esplanada interior muito agradável cheia de sombra.
É um buffet com bebidas e sobremesas à parte.
Havia uma fila enorme para o buffet que estava nitidamente subdimensionado para o número de mesas ocupadas. Espaço muito estreito, numa zona de passagem, com as travessas todas amontoadas, sem legenda e sem sinalização do que é ou não vegan... O serviço é razoável. Pedimos uma bebida do dia que era sumo de abacaxi com hortelã, que estava muito aguado e sem sabor. A comida estava de uma forma geral saborosa e bem confeccionada. Pedimos sobremesas: crumble da avô (muito bom) e gelado de framboesa vegan ( delicioso).
Achei o preço muito caro comparado com outros restaurantes do género. Como estava muito cheio e com grupos estava realmente muito barulhento.

Pros: Comida saborosa, Esplanada, Sobremesas

Cons: Espaço apertado do buffet, Fila enorme para buffet , Preço

disappointing

I went with 2 friends for lunch. We found a buffet a bit disappointing. Few healthy options, all very fried, pizza, regular bread with refined flours. Few salads and few choices of whole grains. In addition, it took a long time to restore what was missing. Service a bit confusing and space to move around the buffet very exiguous. I found it quite expensive for the quality and variety, especially given the numerous alternatives of the same genre available in Lisbon. Worth the interior garden they have. Very nice place to be.

Pros: Interior garden
