Comida deliciosa

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

Happy with my meal

After a travelling for the whole day, I just wanted to have some nice comfort food. A friend who lives in Lisbon suggested this place and I decided to order. No regrets. The food is great and well served. I ordered “meat” croquettes, “cod” with cream and cake for dessert. I loved the texture and the flavour, maybe just a little bit of black pepper missing for me, but I was very happy with my meal.

Pros: Smart choice of ingredients, Comfort meal, Traditional cuisine

Cons: Not many options for delivery

Ok for a lunch but better options in LX

We were there for lunch, got sested on quite a crappy table facing the toilet (considering we had a reservation), stuff was friendly but super reserved ä. We had the vegan crogetes which were tasty and then the Francesinha and the Meat Roll. The Francesinha sauce was too salty and the frues arrived cold, the meatroll tasted delish but was suuuper dry in combo with the mashed potatoes. Bolo de bolacha desert was tasty, however also the coffee was cold. I would give it for sure another try, but if i‘d like to eat vegan Portuguese Food there are other options for the same price, with better atmosphere etc… i got s bit repelled by all the Ikea furnishings for a place with those prices…

Pros: Nice Staff, Nice Desert Seletion

Cons: Poor Interior, Food a bit bland, Too pricey for what it is

Salada de polvo + carne de porto à portuguesa

Para entrada pedimos salada de polvo feita com cogumelos estava maravilhosa com os sabores e texturas muito iguais ao prato tradicional fiquei deslumbrada.
Prato principal foi carne de porco à alentejana, mais uma vez o sabor estava igual ao original, achei apenas que o rácio de batatas e "carne" estava muito maior que os pickles.
Terminamos a refeição em grande com a mais típica sobremesa portuguesa: doce da casa.

Pros: Sabores e texturas semelhantes ao tradicional port, Simpatia dos colaboradores

Cons: Proporção da carne e batatas vs picles

6 stars!

Best food in lisbon! We loved absolutely every bite and were so so impressed. We also got a side salad and some fries for free, which was a very nice touch. I also adored the decor and the atmosphere, it was just absolutely fantastic! I would give them 6 stars if I could!

Mas que bruxaria é esta :o

O restaurante apresenta versões vegetais de alguns pratos típicos portugueses e mostra muito bem como podemos aliar tradição com compaixão: o 'bitoque' com 'ovo' estava tão escandalosamente semelhante ao dito convencional que até me assustei 😆 Como sobremesa escolhi o bolo de bolacha e é delicioso. Ambiente acolhedor, com muitas plantas e luz, e staff simpático. Já lá quero voltar T.T

Great food and service

The fried "egg" was amazing - after 17 years of veganism I cannot really say how authentic the taste was, but it was very good, and so was the slice of cake I ate for dessert.

Pros: Food, Service

The best francesinha

The croquettes here are amazing - very meaty unlike others I've tried at places in Lisbon. The francesinha is the best I've had. Very cheesy and meaty and Herby and the egg on top actually had an eggy taste instead of just being for show. Highly recommend.
