Good but not great

Negatives, the food was almost cold and although it was good I think there was something missing, specially the sauce of the bitoque, too lemony. The highlight for me in terms of flavour was the bolo de bolacha (best vegan I've ever had!) but the slice was super thin for the price you pay. However, I would recommend for the typical Portuguese flavours.

Pros: Bolo de bolacha

Tasty food big portions

I had the francesinha and it was delish. The sauce was creamy and full of flavour and the egg! It tasted like a real egg 😀 look forward to coming back here to try other dishes on the menu. Did not have space for the dessert after the main 🥴

Pros: Authentic Portuguese dishes, Tasty, Fully vegan menu

Authentic Portuguese food!

I went with my Portuguese friend and she loved it. All the flavors are original and so so good.
For my taste, the Portuguese kitchen is just not using enough salt maybe haha
Overall amazing authentic place, would highly recommend!!

Typical Portuguese food

Cozy restaurant serving veganized versions or typical Portuguese dishes like francesinha, rice octopus or pastéis de nata. Everything we tried was delicious, including dessert.

Pros: Typical Portuguese food

Amazing homemade comfort dishes

I had never tried Portuguese cuisine outside of Pasteis de Nata, but my God did it blow me away.

The seitan steaks were some of the best food I've had in a while: comforting, rich, meaty and filling.

Deserts were also another highlight reminding me of my grandmothers cooking.

In fact, this seems to be the aim: dishes that recreate the cooking of their grandmothers but vegan. They ace it.

The best vegan food I’ve ever had

So many flavour I have not experienced since turning vegan, the bacalhau com natas is perfection, the bitoque is freakishly good, so much more I want to try. And the service was incredible

Pros: Bacalhau com natas, Pica pau , Service

Cons: The mojitos were a bit thick

Matter of taste

If you like trendy vegetarian restaurants which serves food that tastes like meat and has modern minimalistic decor, I think you might like this place.

Is the food especially healthy, fresh or is it somehow going extra mile - no.
Is the atmosphere cozy or warm, authentic or especially comfortable - not really.

Concept restaurant, feels like its maybe owned by someone who does not work there, not bad but just not my favorite cup of tea.

Pros: clean, fast service, food does taste what it is supposed to I believe

Cons: trendy and a bit cold and shallow atmosphere

Incredible Food Great Atmosphere

We arrived late without a reservation and it was very full. Despite this the team founds us a table quickly without fuss. All the food we had was astonishingly well made, delicious and masterful. The atmosphere was great and very friendly.

Pros: Food quality , Atmosphere, Friendly service

Simplesmente o melhor 🫶🏻

Um dos melhores restaurantes que já fui. A comida derrete na boca 🤤 Comida caseira mesmo, como comida de vó. O bitoque é DIVINAL. Pra se voltar várias vezes.

Interessante

Comida boa, muito condimentada, tinha expectativas mais elevadas. As bebidas que pedimos (sumo dia e mojito manga) muito aguado e nada de especial.
As sobremesas bolo bochada bom, pastel de nata muito mau. Esqueceram se do nosso pedido, tivemos quase 1h à espera das sobremesas. Depois veio a escaldar, queimamos nos com o creme do "pastel de nata" que mal tem sabor e o gelado que o acompanha não sabe a nada.

Excellent Portuguese cuisine

The most flavorful food we had in a while, especially the "pica-pau" (seitan with sauce, garlic, herbs and chilli). It was worth to try more than the daily menu. We used all the bread to clean up the dishes. Congrats to the chef.

Pros: Delicious quality food, Attentive and friendly staff, Pleasant environment

Cons: Higher prices but worth it, Parking spots outside are hard to find

Best in Lisbon! Must reserve

Reserve your spot for the best dinner in Lisbon. The egg on the steak was epic. Everything here is spectacular, just like in grandma's kitchen.

Pros: Steak and egg, All food, Service

Deliciosa comida tradicional vegana

Muy recomendable para probar comida tradicional portuguesa veganizada, tienen bastante variedad y están riquísimos, el no-bacalao con nata nos encantó.

El restaurante es medianamente elegante con precio ajustado al tipo de localidad, calidad, ubicación y estilo.

Sirven agua del grifo gratis y cócteles super ricos (también sin alcohol). Personal majísimo y ambiente tranquilo.

High quality traditional food made vegan

I wish I had ordered something else. Don't get me wrong, the francesinha was made perfectly and tasted exactly as it should (I mean, look at that "egg"!) ...it's just not the dish for me. But I could not leave Lisbon without having tried this traditional meal.

Besides that, the staff was beyond friendly and helpful. The cheese platter was delightful, though a bit too ambitious after the francesinha. Overall, a great place with great food!

Pros: Traditional Portugees food, Helpful staff, Quality stuff

"Classic" food

This place has the Portuguese classic food dishes, but the vegan version.
All full of taste, portions are spot on and the room environment is a nice one.
Definitely a place to check out if you like the home made food style.
From dishes that are more sauce/cream based to "steak" classics.
The desert I had the opportunity to try, doce da casa, was a sugar boom but with several flavours present.
Reservation is recommended on most days.

Staff is friendly and will help if needed.

Note that the front door is not very large, so it does not stand out in a distance.
Also, for busy times, do consider a reservation.

A Treasure

We didn’t have a reservation when we arrived, but they were very accommodating and allowed us to sit at a little “bonus table” by the entrance. We ordered the stuffed meatloaf, croquettes carne, soup of the day (something delicious and carrot-y), and the buttercream cake.

It was all amazing. The servers were sweet and funny as well😄

Pros: Reasonable prices, Buttercream cake, Stuffed meatloaf

Fabuleux

On a adoré la carte avec les multiples plats tradtionnels portugais en version végan, quasi introuvables ailleurs. Le bitok et la brandade de morue étaient excellents et ressemblaient beaucoup à la version traditionnelle, autant dans le goût que dans la forme. Le personnel était également très accueillant et sympathique😄merci pour ce repas qui nous a immergé dans la culture culinaire du pays !!

Pros: Le choix de plats traditionnels et végans ! , La ressemblance avec les plats originaux, C'était très bon !!
