Really good!

We took the den burger and drank the den negroni, the food was perfect, juicy, fresh, the drinks were profesionally made. The service was great. Nice music, we also liked the decor. A nice spot in the center of the bars and clubs area in Lisbon (pretty chill compared to the atmosphere outside, which we liked).
Highly recommended!.

Pros: a variety of vegan food, open till late , nice people and good vibe!

Tasty cocktails

We came to the botanical den for one drink, just to check it out, and it was pretty cool.

There were 4 or 5 pages of cocktails, I ended up going for a classic espresso martini. If it ain’t broke.

Only downside is that it was kind of pricey for Lisbon standards.

4 stars from niki_nine

Pros: Delicious cocktails, Wide selection

Cons: pricey for Lisbon

Nice vegan bar

Went for drinks and a light bite. Appeared to be closed up around 4 but an employee showed up and let us in, which was very nice. We had some good cocktails and some tasty guac. Worth a visit.

Pros: All vegan bar

Nice good and drink

We visited here and we had some nice drinks and food. The food is fairly limited to that of a couple or burgers and some simple starters but we’re nice nonetheless

Pros: Drinks were lovely , Small and cozy, not busy

Cons: Limited drinks menu

Unexpected and delightful

Great cozy little place that is perfect for cocktails and almost as a bonus has an extensive vegan menu with meat replacements. The beyond sausage preparation was great. You could alternatively view this as a fast vegan dinner spot (as I did) and have a solid cocktail while you decide what to order.

Cozy place

Friendly staff, great cocktails. Only 2 options were available from the menu though (both Beyond) so we skipped on food.

Great location for a quick bite before going out

The woman in the kitchen that day was so lovely. The menu is not big but is what you need if you want someone hi g familiar to eat. I had the den burger and it was good. Burgers use beyond meat so if you’re not a fan probably not your best option. The cocktails were amazing! I had a cocktail deseert and it was truly delicious!

Pros: Great location, Lovely staff, Quick service

Cons: Not too many options on menu, Not ideal for large groups as it is a small place

Quality service, food was lacking.

We were in the area and there wasn’t much in the way of Vegan food nearby but we saw this on happy cow. It’s a cute, very small little bar. Seats maybe 12 people at a push. The food menu is basically 3 burgers, a hot dog (all served with crisps) and then Guac/Hummus/Bruschetta. It’s a small menu and I understand this is replicated in the small venue. They probably don’t have the space or room for a fryer for fries but why not serve with vegan potato salad or coleslaw - not just crisps and a burger for €10.

That being said the two boys working were lovely and very attentive.

A great find

To be honest, we were hungry and it was our third attempt to get something vegan in Lisbon. But it was AMAZING. Generous, thick patties, friendly service and great vibes!

Pros: Generous vegan burgers , Cosy , Great service

Cons: Very small

A bit miss

Third attempt this week and finally got there at 1945 to be told we are not open yet.
He came out of the stock room and spoke to me and said they don’t have food yet, I asked what time, he said he didn’t know, later!
Departed and feel harsh about the review but there wasn’t much happiness to be found.

A good quick bite and good drinks

Went there on a Thursday night right when it opened at 19:30. We had reserved a table online over Google shortly before and it was completely packed when we arrived, so I recommend reserving.
The food was really good, I had a vegan hot dog and it tasted amazing. My friend had a vegan burger and was also very happy with it. It's wonderful to have an all vegan menu.
The cocktails were also good and the aqua faba topping made it extra fancy as you usually don't get that in vegan Form for cocktails, so that's a real plus.
While the food was of great quality, the drinks were not that strong and also rather small, especially for the price they come for. Also we waited around 40 minutes for our food, so bigger drinks to sip on would have been nice.
There is not a lot of space inside and the seats are not really comfortable at the wall tables. Also, the food is served with very normal chips out of a bag, did not expect that for the price. Overall it was great for a quick bite and I loved the hotdog, but the overall experience could be improved.

Pros: High quality food , Great cocktails

Cons: Small drinks, Waiting time

Creepy clientele

Didn't have a good experience. There was a (presumably drunk?) guy who wouldn't stop trying to talk to me (can't a woman go to a bar and be left alone?). The cocktails were too sour. Music was horrible. On top of that, they didn't tell me in advance that the card machine had broken so I had to spend extra to get cash out (it was the last day of my trip and I hadn't budgeted for that). Wouldn't go again.

Great cocktails!

An all vegan cocktail bar, how awesome is that? I mean, of course you can get a vegan cocktail at a non-vegan venue as well (with the risk of having dairy inside anyway) but here you can have all of your favourite cream based cocktails withourt dairy and even grab something to eat. I had a strawberry margarita made with Baileys almond and it was absolutely delicious, basically like a strawberry milk shake. The cocktails are a bit more expensive than elsewhere, however, it is all vegan so worth the money.

Botanical den

Really chill vibe, great place to buy vegan junk food in the day and really chill vibe in the evenings playing some kinda ambient music.

Other reviews complained about the prices but it's one of the central strip tourist areas on top of being a niche diet place so that's to be expected. They have some cheaper options you can get a small strongbow for 2.50 if you are with others and don't want to spend too much money.

Pros: Great vegan food, Great vegan drinks and location., Staff speak sufficient English

Cons: Mildly expensive

Tourist place

Not friendly staff. Plastic plant everywehre used for decorations. Cocktails are expensive and taste like water without alcool. Burgers are quite ok but small. I'll don't go again in this place.

Food okay drinks were quite nice

We stopped in for dinner and drinks and have to say we weren't overly impressed with the food, but we did really enjoy the drinks and it was very cool to have ingredients like aquafaba and almond based baileys. It's a cute little spot, would stop in for drinks again.

Easily one of the best vegan eats in the city. If you love burgers this is the place for you, with a good selection of types anyone will be happy!

Great cocktails / service is an additional point of excellence.

Pros: Everything vegan, Good cocktails, Excellent service

Cons: Crisps instead of fries heh
