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 !!

Comemos a salada de "polvo", bitoque com "ovo", arroz de "polvo" e o pastel de nata da avó. Foi a refeição perfeita, tudo fantástico do início ao fim. Pretendemos voltar e aconselhamos vivamente.

Amazing portuguese food!

If you want to try some traditional portuguese food, this is the place! Everything is soooo delicious and well prepared. I’m addicted to the “bacalhau” com natas… so creamy and perfect. The arroz de pato was also incredible and the croquetes was the perfect starter 😌
Much love for this place ❤️

Great take on traditional Portuguese food

For those curious about how Portuguese food might taste but made vegan, this is a great restaurant to try it out. It really did feel like I was eating the food from my childhood. Well worth the visit!

Vegan traditional Portuguese meals

If you're vegan and thought you would never be able to try traditional Portuguese food then you need to go to this restaurant. The food is amazing and the staff super friendly.

Uma experiência nostálgica

Adorei a comida, deliciosa! Doses muito bem servidas e um atendimento muito bom. O menu faz com que se queira experimentar tudo. Comemos de entradas: salada de “polvo” e peixinhos da horta (incríveis, recomendo muito) e tivemos oferta dos croquetes (também muito saborosos e a lembrar os tradicionais). Pedimos o sumo do dia, também delicioso e, para comer, pedimos o bitoque e o “bacalhau” com natas. Os dois absolutamente incríveis e deliciosos e muito bem servidos. Doses grandes e boas para dividir. Estávamos com pressa, por isso não chegámos às sobremesas. Fica para uma próxima pois de certeza que vamos voltar!

The place to have typical portuguese vegan food 😍

This took me back to my childhood! I must say that everything was practically delicious and resembled the portuguese cuisine ❤ belly was really happy
Croquetes de alheira - perfect, couldn't tell it was vegan
Peixinhos da horta - dont recommend! Was a bit disappointed
Arroz de polvo - delicious sea taste, so similar to the typical seafood rice, but i think the octupus element was lacking, better just call it "sea rice" or add something more chewy to go with the rice (few mushrooms didnt do the job)
Doce da casa - a must in every portuguese restaurant! The dessert we liked the most
Bolo de bolacha - just like i remembered! So good
HIGHLY recommend this place, one of my new favorites!
update:
octupus salad - so so so delicious and reminiscent of the typical one
duck rice - not a fan but similar to the real one
"bacalhau" gratin - soooo creamy and delicious
pastel de nata dessert - we splitted but i ate the most part bc it was so good AHA and im not even a fan of pastel de nata

Tasty food, lovely setting

Great vegan versions of typical Portuguese classics. Pleased I was able to try the arroz sem pato after seeing the meat version on lots of menu boards at other places.

A must if visiting Lisbon

it's worth going all the way there if you're visiting Lisbon and want to try vegan Portuguese food. Me and my friends loved this place, the food and the service. I liked it so much I went again the next day! The best was the bacalao.

AMAZING

This was the best restaurant I ever went. The food was amazing and the staff was very kind.

We had the "Bacalhau com Natas", "Arroz Sem Pato" and "Bitoque com Ovo". My favorite was the Bacalhau, it was really marvelous!

For dessert, we had "Bolo de Bolacha", "Mousse de Chocolate" and "Doce da Casa" - the first was absolutely fantastic!

Overall everything was perfect! I recommended 100% coming here!

Pros: Delicious food, Amazing staff, Beautiful space

Amazing and Authentic

We came here before going to Kong, & this place is far better. The staff were lovely & found us a table even though it was busy. I really wanted to try croquettes & the ones here were incredibly tasty. I can't remember the names of our main dishes but we were both highly impressed with the quality & taste. This place is more about the quality over the quantity. We shared the pastel de nata with homemade ice cream, it was different in that it was deep fried, truly delicious. I would definitely go back here.

Pros: Authentic vegan Portugese, friendly staff, Nice interior
