Vegan food at its best 🌸👌

Absolutely delicious vegan food! The people here are incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can truly feel their big heart for animals. The whole spirit of the place is just right. A mustvisit for anyone who is vegan or simply loves animals. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately overpriced

I loved that this place puts animal rights front and centre on the walls and with leaflets on the tables. However, we did not really enjoy the food and it was very expensive.
I had a wrap which was drowned in barbecue sauce. It came with a salad that was topped with some sort of chipsticks.
My husband and son had the burgers. They enjoyed them but disliked the accompanying sweet potato chips (crisps). These were oven-baked and unseasoned - not the ideal accompaniment to an indulgent burger. If you're charging €18 for a burger, you should really offer fries. The burger bun was very low quality.

Delicious Fully Vegan Fayre

Wonderful food. We tried lasagna, stroganoff, the burger and the omelet. The great thing is that this is vegan food prepared by a very knowledgeable chef. So Monica knows how to make cheese sauces and perfect coconut cream desserts.

Outstanding food by an incredible woman with brilliant ethics

The veggie momi herself is such a welcoming and lovely woman, along with being an incredible chef, so this place MUST be on your to do list as a vegan visiting in the Algarve! She made me, my wife and our baby girl feel so at home with the food and vibes, we cannot fault a single thing about this place. We had the chorizo, no-chicken burger, stroganoff, the 2 juices the 2 cakes and everything was top notch! It’s great to see someone who has a truly ethical vegan outlook doing what she does (in an area which is very touristy) and she should be supported for doing so, so don’t miss out!

Great food and lovely owner 🧡

We spent 3 days in Albufera and came here every day. The owner and her son are insanely nice, I felt so welcomed and save there. Also the food is great, when you are lucky there is fresh pastel de Nata and you have to try it.
This place is very special, real animal activisms with great food.
I definitely plan to come back and visit you again 🧡🧡

Nice family - made with passion

We came back this year after a heartwarming experience last year. It’s admirable how dedicated mother and son make the vegan dinners. Each dish has a story and they love to tell you all about the food. The portions are very generous and taste nice. The homemade pastries are amazing so if you’re looking for a dessert, this is the place!

Pros: Made with passion , Delicious pastries for dessert , Very generous portions

Cons: Presentation on your plate is basic, ‘Snackbar’ decor (light, tables, chairs)

Great service and lovely people

Down a little side street
Quiet little place run by lovely friendly welcoming people
The food was amazing
Deserts are incredible
Little games on the table were a nice touch
Very reasonably priced too
I did put some negatives but it’s still worth a visit and you can park free down the side streets surrounding this place

Pros: Atmosphere , Food, Friendly

Cons: Ketchup on the nachos , Sweet potato slices were actually nachos , No parking

Cute cafe with great hosts

Operating for 8 years for both vegans and locals who might try a new take on traditional food. Sweet and passionate owners who have scratch made and interesting dishes. The homemade Momi burger had a slice of tofu and great flavors, the stroganoff was flavorful and had lots of mushrooms and protein strips.

What a wonderful little place

Can’t recommend more, really friendly atmosphere with activism all over the walls / tables. Little board games on the tables too! Very friendly service and the food was amazing, I visited as a vegan with a veggie and meat-eater and we were all so pleased with our food.

Pros: The food!, The service, The decoration

(CASH ONLY!) Beaut burger, so-so sausage

I had the Beyond Burger and it was EXCELLENT. However my partner ordered the Portuguese Sausage dish and the sausages were really not good, especially the texture. Also, not accepting card was a bit of a pain.

Great burgers though, and the lasagne looked nice. Worth a visit as one of the few vegan places in town.
