Delicious and unique - Edit
Had a great dining experience out on the steps. Server was friendly and gave good recommendations. Food was great, but the experience overall (setting, service) made it all amazing. Got the tofu pie, tempeh skewers, among other things. Place got super busy, we sat without a reservation but only barely and it was early, only about 6.

Interesting food - Edit
Small menu with interesting options. We tried almost everything on the menu. All of the dishes were nice and creative, but a lot of them seemed to miss something. Still, I love when a restaurant serves dishes I would have never came up with myself.

Nice spot, some really delicious - Edit
Really nice and cosy place. Some of the dishes were heavenly good, others lacked some taste we felt. Super popular, so reservation is recommended.

Some dishes were great - Edit
There were a couple of dishes we thought were really delicious and a few that seemed to miss the mark for us. Some creative/unusual dishes. Friendly staff and nice outdoor area for drinks and a bite if you prefer. The menu is quite small and changes a lot I believe so I guess you don't know what you'll get!

Nice vegan spot in Lisbon - Edit
Small cozy restaurant with good vibes near Castelo de São Jorge in Lisbon. Has an original outside seating in the stairs of Mouraria. If you like innovative vegan plates this will certainly be a great experience for you.

Glitzernde Enttäuschung - Edit
Vllt liegt es daran, dass ich als Berliner unendlich verwöhnt bin und meine Standards dementsprechend hoch angesetzt sind.

Please don't stop! - Edit
I am almost (i hope, starting to be pretty full) done with the dégustation menu and i have not left a spec on any plate.
Read moreThe menu changes regularly so there is no point trying to articulate my love of each course i have had tonight, but they were all without exception fantastic.
That is without the romance of the outside stairs when the weather is nice.
Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing.

Great vibe. Fancy food. - Edit
I experienced this place for the first time last night. There's indoor seating but also a super interesting outdoor space. The food was next level gourmet. They clearly put a lot of effort into making it beautiful as well as tasty.

Excellent food, ambience, service! - Edit
This place feels magical! It is centrally located, but tucked away, off an alley, at the foot of some stone steps where they’ve set up their outdoor seating with small tables and cushions - so creative if the weather/temperature are tolerable and you don’t mind sitting on stairs for a bit! They even have cozy blankets to help you keep warm. The service was friendly and attentive from the start. I had a 6:30 reservation (very early for Portugal!), but they don’t start serving food til 7pm, so I had a glass of vinho verde wine first (so good!). The food menu is small and changes regularly with season and supply, so don’t assume you’ll know what they’re serving based on menu items or photos you see online—but honestly, the surprise element is fun, and I don’t think you can go wrong! I ordered two starters rather than a main dish, and stuck to gluten free items only: the Hokkaido Creamy Soup with Ginger and Herbs (coconut milk base) and the tamale (cornmeal, tofu, vegetables, traditionally wrapped, with a warm delicious sauce on the side. For dessert, the cassava cake with glazed pumpkin and rice paper topping was to die for. So soft, and not too sweet - both of which can be hard to find in vegan/gluten free cakes and baked goods! Finished it off with a linden flower tea. For all of this, the charge was only 25 euros. It was my first meal on this trip where I really gave myself time to take it all in—spent two hours there! I

Cosy restaurant with lovely food and friendly staff - Edit
We had a nice dining experience at The Food Temple. We hadn’t booked a table, but they found space for us inside anyways. The menu is small, and ever changing. We had everything on the menu and it was all very nice. Very flavorful and different from what we’ve had in other places. The waiter was so friendly and helpful and the restaurant in itself was just so cute. Next time we are back in Lisbon, we will make sure to book a table, so we can try and sit outside, which just looked so charming.

This place is a hidden gem! Unfortunately, when we arrived (just after opening time) we discovered that the restaurant was already fully booked (this is always a good sign I guess), however this turned out to be a blessing as we were offered the opportunity to eat on the steps outside, sat on some mats with a purpose-made fold-up table to rest our food and drink on. And although it was a little chilly in early-May it was a lovely experience, matched by the friendly service and good food.
Read moreA couple of tips:
1. Book in advance
2. Sit outside (especially in the summer)
3. Make sure you have Google Maps on your phone!

Magical place! - Edit
We couldn’t have loved it more. Service was so sweet and friendly, food was top notch with creative dishes and amazing flavours (we tried almost everything on the menu- menu changes seasonally). The seating outside on site stairs is a very unique experience, would recommend for a couple or good friends. If you had a bad knee / leg, or are a group of 3ppl +, I’d recommend reserving and asking for a table to be set up outside.
Read moreThey also had someone playing beautiful music outside. With the fairy lights and the romantic atmosphere of the small side street it was simply magical.
Pros: Unique food, Music, Friendly service
Cons: Can only pay by cash or Portuguese card

Beautiful location! - Edit
We came here after seeing this place featured on Youtube.. Sitting on the stairs outsides with a glass of wine was an amazing experience -- would recommend going there just for it.
Read moreThe food menu seems to change very regularly -- so these comments & pics may not be accurate anymore. Overall, the food was good, not the most exciting or tasty but it was OK and the staff was really nice. We felt like the desserts were better than the mains/apps.
We're planning on coming back later to try the new menu!
Pros: Location, Food is good
Cons: Some options were a bit blend
