(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.

Best restaurant we have found

This place is amazing!!! The owners are very friendly and as well as being wonderful chefs are clearly passionate vegan activists. It was difficult to choose what to have as the whole menu sounded so good, but we opted for the Portuguese wrap with shoestring fries and Portuguese chorizo style sausages with grilled pineapple and rice. Both portions were huge and came with delicious salad too! We shared our meals and both thoroughly enjoyed each of them. We took some pastel de nata away for dessert which was also a real treat. Their cocktails are very delicious too. I really hope that we get another chance to visit here on our holiday to support their vegan business and try more of their exciting menu!

A nice place and it’s vegan

The staff were lovely and helpful discussing menu
The food was ok. The sausages weren’t what were in picture but were handmade, just want very flavourful. Dessert was good the coconut. Cheesecake had a lovely base

Pros: Vegan fully, Nice staff , Lots of choice

Cons: I think for quality it’s overpriced

Best meal I had at the Algarve!

This is a hidden gem.

The ambience is a mix between anime and punk and you have a lot of flyers and infographics about animal rights. The owner is super kind and its obvious everything is created with love. The selection is huge and the portion sizes are big as well, also everything I curated in a very balanced way regarding the nutrional value as well as the combination of flavours.

I felt so grateful for that meal, as it all worked so well together and was arranged so nicely. If you are at Albufeira, definetely go there! The price might be a bit higher than elsewhere, but its money well spent as its worth it.

Pros: All vegan, Super kind owner , Very filling

Great little "hole in the wall"

Visited Albufeira January 2025 and found this cute place by accident when we lived just a short walk from it.

I ate burritos and it was a generous portion and my partner ate a burger.

The son was very helpful in giving tips on other vegan places to visit. Go visit and support them!

Pros: That it existed! 🌱

Incredible!

What an adorable little spot in Albufeira. This place feels so cozy and homey.
I love how both the mother and son are animal rights activists and how dedicated they are to the animal rights movement.

The food is to die for! I had the Sheppard pie and my partner, the tofu stew. We were blown away by how delicious everything was!

Then let's talk about the desserts...... WOW 😲😲 we couldn't believe how delicious the cakes were! Probably the best ones we've eaten yet (and I've been vegan for over 25 years!).

Highly recommended! ❤️

Pros: Delicious food , Cozy and intimate spot , Well balanced vegan meals

Amazing restaurant

Fantastic chefs with an lot of passion. A lot of local specialties made vegan so you can really experience Portugese food. Even my partner who eats meat LOVED this place. I had trouble choosing one dish. Certainly would go back there.

Pros: Tastes amazing, A lot of choices on the menu, Nice people

Bad expirience

Nice people but unfortunately terrible menu. We waited over an hour for lunch, what we received were dishes assembled with packaged raw materials. Hummus, chips, pineapple, sausages, salad and carrots, were all packaged food. If I had gone shopping I would have done it sooner.

Cons: Waiting , Food, Price

Superb must visit

Friendly and attentive staff and small team

Happily split a large meal for our two young children making excellent value

Overall super value meals all freshly cooked and easily customisable

We have been several times this trip and recommend taking cake away with you for laters!

Hmm

The staff itself were nice and present. Also very nice with everything on the menu being vegan and having a diversity with traditional portugese food/wraps/burgers etc.
The only cons were that it was very expensive. Especially if you compare it to any other place in Portugal. Maybe it’s because most people that come here/there are tourists. Also I think the prices have gone up a bit because on Google reviews they were cheaper a few months back.
I ordered a burger which was 16€. And for me it felt like it wasn’t value for the money. Even though there were a lot of stuff in the burger; vegan salciccia, tofu, soy, sauce and more (which was very nice) the bread was normal (not homemade I think) and the fries were sweet potato chips (which probably wasn’t homemade as well) and they had ketchup on (not autism friendly). I probably could’ve said something about the chips and I’m sure they would’ve gotten me without ketchup on.
However I think I expected more out of the price.
Maybe it’s another thing (for the price) if the bread and the chips actually are homemade (and if so, I apologize).
The place in itself was small and cozy yet right by the street. This was a shame because cars/bus drove past (if you’re sitting outside) this is however not their fault.
I am grateful though that the vegan place exists and has variety and kindness, I was/am just really sad about the prices. Because I really would have loved to try more things on the menu if only it wasn’t that expensive.

NOTE: only cash.

Pros: The staff, Variety

Cons: Expensive, Only cash

Best vegan establishment in Albufeira!

My husband and I went here 5 times during our holiday. The food is home made and absolutely delicious. I honestly can't understand how anyone can give this place a bad review. The portions are huge and the service is superb (we got a few freebies for being regular visitors). They have loads of gluten-free options too. I would highly recommend the chickpea omelette, but everything is delicious. Very reasonably priced too.

Pros: Fully vegan family run business , Massive portions, Great choice

Tasty vegan food

Nice vegan restaurant, food was delicious but service wasn’t that great. Waiter was polite but not firendly. Also on the night we went the bathroom were out of order so that was kind of unpractical. Qe had the portugese omelet and the strogonof and both were good!

Pros: All vegan, Tasty food

Cons: No restroom, Cash only, Soso service

You can't miss this place!

I discovered the restaurant in early September and it took me a while to come back here to write this review, but I still remember how special it was. Momi makes the food with true love for the animal cause. Everything is very tasty and original. With few vegetarian and vegan options in the area, you feel welcomed and at home in this place. After trying the strogonoff, the alheira and the garlic bread, I went back the next day to eat the pastel de nata! Incredible, without a doubt the best I've ever had!

Eu conheci o restaurante no começo de setembro e demorei a voltar aqui para deixar esse review, mas não deixo de me lembrar como foi especial. A Momi faz a comida com amor de verdade a causa animal. É tudo muito saboroso e original. Em meio a poucas opções vegetarianas e veganas na região, você se sente acolhido e em casa nesse espaço. Após experimentar o strogonoff, a alheira e o pão de alho, voltei no dia seguinte para comer o pastel de nata! Incrível, sem dúvida o melhor que eu já comi!

Pros: Many taste options, Pastel de Nata , Original recipes
