Beautiful Vegan Restaurant

Things are really looking up in the Algarve.
Vegan Joes is a lovely new restaurant in Loule.It is welcoming,the staff are kind and friendly and they all speak perfect English.They are happy to take time to talk to you and to explain the menu.
The food is delicious,prepared with great care. And reasonably priced.
Everything is home made.A varied choice of about 4 starters and 4 main dishes.We ate a tasty lasagna plus a regional dish,adapted to become vegan.Both highly recommend .lovely wines and dress juices.
Can't wait to return!!

Pros: Imaginative tasty well prepared food, Welcoming English speaking staff, Reasonably priced beautifully decorated restaurant

Cons: NONE!!!

Best vegan find!

the food in this restaurant is all home made and sooo tasty (although my friend chose the chilli sin carne which was flavourful but not at all spicy). The portions are really generous and even though I shared my starter (olive and sun dried tomato hummus) I still didn’t have space for dessert after my tofu burger)! .The atmosphere is calm and the staff friendly and relaxed. I did taste a dessert (couldn’t resist!) of coffee 'cheesecake', sublime. I love visiting Loulé, and now I even more reason to go.

If you haven’t experienced vegan food before and are curious to try, I would recommend visiting this restaurant.

Pros: Really tasty food, good portion sizes, Excellent value

Cons: Possibly need to spice up the chilli!

We scraped our bowls clean.

We happened to be in Loule for the day. Found this restaurant on happycow and had lunch here. We chose the Portuguese shepherd's pie from the menu which also came with a salad and we had herbal tea. The menu changes weekly, and there are several items to choose from. Both the food and service were great. We are not planning another trip to Loule but if we did we'd definitely come back to eat here.

Pros: Super clean restaurant., Healthy Tasty food., Reasonably priced.

Cons: They close between lunch and dinner.

Normal...

The starters were nice (“mozzarella cheese” with tomato and polenta chips) but the mains were not so tasty as I expected. The curry didn’t have any sauce and didn’t taste like a real curry. The tofu balls with tagliatelle were ok, but tasteless.
The carrot cake with chocolat sauce was very good.

Pros: Only vegan options, Friendly waitress

Cons: The mains were Tasteless

Great vegan food at great prices

We have already come back 5 times since we love the food, environment, people and great prices. Food feels like home cooked meals, deserts are delicious and can bring our dog inside as well!
It is not a large space so we usually come at the opening time to make sure we beat the crowd and we have a table.
How best to show our appreciation than continuing to come back? That's what we'll do!

Pros: Great food, great prices and great people

Cons: Nothing

Excellent food at great prices

We ordered four starters to share, as well as mains and desserts. All of the dishes were delicious and the entire meal cost far less than I expected - great, inexpensive prices.

Highlights included vegan cheeseboard (cashew ‘cheddar’, tofu ‘ricotta’, and cashew ‘halloumi’) and Oreo mousse.

Would love to return!

Pros: Many delicious vegan dishes , Vegan versions of traditional Portuguese food, Very affordable prices

Delicious

Delicious, fresh food served in a contemporary environment. Short menu giving enough options. Fast, friendly service. Reasonably priced. Lovely calm environment with a nice selection of books to browse. We tried a tofish burger and an aubergine lasagne, both were delicious. Would have loved to try more courses but we were short of time.

Pros: Delicious , Contemporary space , Cool, calm environment

Algarve being vegan proud

The menu changes every week, we've been there tonight for the first time and I have to say that everything was on par with the best vegan restaurants I've been to. I would definitely recommend - if available - the vegan haloumi, that despite tasting nothing like the original, is one of the best and most indulging vegan cheeses I've had!!
Staff was attentive and super nice, service is on the slow side but I think that's a regional charm anyway, and later found out the restaurant is run by 3 people only (!!!) so, to be honest it did not impact the experience overall.
I'm so happy to have found this place - 10/10 will return!

Not open?

We kwamen er na lang rijden en het was gesloten? Schijnbaar andere openingstijden dan aangegeven op deze app. Erg jammer.

Algarve needs more places like this!

So this is a full vegan place, with inside seating, extremely cosy.
We had a full meal there, unfortunately we were so full that we didn't get to try their deserts!
But anyways, they change their menus every week, which I think it's awesome. For entrees, we had the cheese platter (a must!) with delicious homemade cheeses.
For the main, we had a wrap (that unfortunately didn't have much taste and I left half of it...) and the mushroom risotto, which was to die for!
We had a portuguese white wine what was divine.

O melhor hambúrguer de sempre!

(30/08/2018)
Almocei neste espaço tão cheio de luminosidade com mais dois amigos, não veganos.
Pedimos Joe's Burguer e um Chili sin carne. Este foi sem dúvida o melhor hambúrguer que comi até à data! Com a consistência certa e um sabor espantoso!
O chili também foi do agrado da pessoa que pediu (eu provei e gostei bastante!
Pediu-se também Polenta Chips com um molho que estavam muito bons!
Como sobremesa pedimos o Lava Cake. Não foi o meu favorito, mas serviu para terminar a refeição com um toque doce.
Recomendo este restaurante! Bom preço, espaço super simpático e comida saborosa!

Pros: Nice price, Nice location, Great ambience

Best Vegan Burger !

If you like vegan burgers, you absolutely have to try "Joe's Burger" and if you want the full taste of it, ask for all the toppings 😉 Amazing place run by a lovely couple 😊 And the "Lava cake" is a must for dessert 😉

Some of the best vegan food we’ve had!

We went here for my partner’s birthday and it was perfect. The food was delicious and very high quality and the staff were really friendly and helpful even though it was busy. The only downside I can think of is that they said they are closed Sunday’s so we can’t go back before we leave Portugal, which is sad because we’d eat there every day if we could!

Pros: 100% vegan, Friendly staff , Amazing food and great prices

Excellent !

Un petit restaurant éloigné du centre ville, mais plutôt fréquenté même hors saison.
Le service est très agréable, la décoration simple, mais chaleureuse.
Quelques plats non complets, mais tous très savoureux et aux notes fines.
Assiette de fromages vegans très réussis

Pros: Plats savoureux, Fromages vegans divers, Service agréable

Cons: Quelques plats principaux non complets , Un seul serveur, Attente ++

Hi Muddywaters! Thanks a lot for your review and kind words. Smaller menus are fresher menus because it requires less prep work and less waste. We rather keep it fresh and we believe that is what makes our food so delicious! Hope that makes sense and hope to see you again someday1
