Obsessed - Edit
Had the best long and leisurely lunch at Veggie Momi. I was so happy to have some of my childhood favourites made vegan. I haven’t had a choriço omelette in years and I can’t stop thinking about it days after the meal.

Pros: Classic recipes veganised, Atmosphere, Delicious

Oasis in a sea of fish and meat - Edit
Portugal isn't exactly overwhelmed with vegan food so it's nice to find a wholly vegan restaurant, we sat outside watching the world go by whilst both having the vegan omelette, I had the Portuguese one and my wife had the carrot and vegan cheese. Both were absolutely gorgeous and we were too full to indulge in a dessert afterwards. Definitely recommend this place and I also found the staff very friendly and helpful too.

Beautiful Vegan Cafe - Edit
This was by far the best vegan food I had while on holidays in Albufeira. My partner and I had the Portuguese wrap which came with a salad and sweet potato chips. The service was great, very friendly and attentive and the setting was small but beautiful….we sat outside and had a lovely view of the sea. I would highly recommend.

New experience - Edit
In an effort to try another new vegan restaurant before returning home we decided to visit Veggie Momi.
Read moreA small restaurant full of vegan propaganda.
I had the vegan sausage and it came with rice, vegetables and salad. It was very tasty. My wife who is non vegan had the omelette and enjoyed it.
The service was slow but our food was cooked fresh so no problem for me.
Pros: Tasty food

Dessert!! - Edit
Albufeira is a vegan wasteland, surrounded mostly by seafood and Irish restaurants: Veggie Momi brings relief. The quaint restaurant offers decadent, finely crafted, affordable desserts served by a cold and apathetic staff.
Read moreVeggie Momi is centrally located on a nice, quiet street with outdoor seating. The green and purple interior clashes distinctly with eclectic decorations of pro-vegan stickers and messages. The staff wasn’t rude, but they weren’t the friendliest either. Luckily, the food saves them.
In contrast to the staff, the cake was amazing—A chocolate peanut butter cookie cake with moist, fluffy dense cream divided by softened cookie layers and garnished with a walnut. It reminds me of a chocolate peanut butter version of a tiramisu. The cake is sweetened by the price—a substantial cake slice for a measly four euros.
Come for the cake and forget about the staff (they’re sure to forget about you), but it’s worth every euro.
Pros: Price, Quality

We were there yesterday and felt very comfortable. We had the lasagne and the curry. Super tasty and very large portions. The peanut butter just about fit in. But above all we enjoyed the conversations with Veggie Momi. A great woman with a big heart.

A True Gem - Edit
Our dinner was so lovely here. The family is welcoming and their cooking is something to be proud of. I had the Not Chicken Burger (tasted better than Chik-fil-a) and my partner had the Alheira (homemade sausage) with rice, pineapple, and pepper. It’s the kind of food that tastes homemade because it’s fresh and feels good. Dessert was outstanding! We loved the peanutbutter and chocolate layered cake!!

It's ok - Edit
I find it difficult to rate places like this one. Passionate owner, vegan place for the right reasons (not because it's trendy nowadays) but the food was just... fine. We had two no chicken hamburgers and the flavor was a bit off. The dessert was banana chocolate cake and it was good though.
Read moreOverall I would like to give them a constructive criticism and say that they should upgrade their menu. It's 2024 and vegan food can be done amazingly. Also I found it pricey for what it is (15€ for a burguer...).
Pros: Nice owners
Cons: WC out of order, Pricey

More heart and soul than taste - Edit
Small and cosy place with the heart at the right place. Kind and passionate owners who cook themselves and prepare some international, mostly traditionally inspired dishes. The burger was slightly uninspired though and the stroganoff lacking the zesty taste the menu was promising.
Read morePros: The venue, The owners, The attitude
Cons: The fanciless starter (dry bread), The high prices

Schönes kleines Restaurant mit vielfältiger Karte - Edit
Schönes kleines Restaurant in dem viel Liebe steckt.
Read moreDas Essen schmeckt hervorragend! Es gibt eine sehr abwechslungsreiche Karte mit unterschiedlichen veganen Gerichten (Wraps, Burger, Lasagne, vegane Shrimps, traditionelle portugiesische Gerichte) was sehr schön ist, da die vegane Auswahl in Albufeira ansonsten nicht so groß ist.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, man merkt der Inhaberin an, dass sie mit Herzblut versucht eine vegane Community in Albufeira aufzubauen.
