Great food. - Edit
The food here is great. Vegan versions of Portuguese dishes, and the results are superb. I could eat the - Rolo de ‘carne’ com ameixa caramelizada, everyday. That particular dish is all I talked about for the rest of the evening. I am exaggerating, I talked about the wine as well, and the fried egg. Recommend this place.

5* - Traditional Portuguese Food made Vegan - Edit
I've ordered their food over 10 times and I really like most of it. They also had a booth at the Vegan Festival through Santos Populares where I could try some more of their things.
Read moreMy favorite dish from their list is the Legumes à Brás, it's really good!
Update: 31-07-2023
Now "A Minha Avó" has a physical space where you can eat, it's not only take-away! Which is great news and that's mostly the part I want to review, but also focusing on ordering their take-away 20 or so times in the past year.
The food is tasty as always, but I noticed a trend where the "main content" was decreasing a bit, and the "lower ingredient" was being favored, like the "Arroz de Pato" with a lot of rice and very few mushrooms or the "Brás" with lots of potato and not so much vegetables. Maybe I was just unlucky in the last few online orders as at least in-person at the restaurant yesterday this did not happen and everything was good and quite balanced.
Now let's go to the review of the meal at the restaurant itself.. because of the last few experiences with the takeaway I was a bit skeptical.. and once I arrived and saw the venue, which might be nice for some people but it's not my cup of tea.. (both on the space itself and the decor). I was even more skeptical.... but I love being proven wrong.
Had a starter, the "Octoplus Salad" and it was good, if I want to nit pick I would add just a little more salt and a little less oil, but it was quite ok.
Than we had the Brás which was quite good and balanced in the potato to vegetables + tofu proportion (and I don't even remember the takeaway one having tofu.. if it did it was very little), to be perfect it just lacked a little of black pepper and I also had the meat roll with celeriac purée and spinach.. It was also quite good, especially the spinach (I just wish there was more!!! if you make such good spinach, give me a lot of it😄:) ).
For dessert, had the "Bolo de Bolacha" which was quite good tbh, I think they have the best vegan bolo de bolacha I've had.
Service was good and kind.
All in all, I totally recommend it, and I'm surely to go there more often to try the other dishes. Just wish they did something different with the venue and made it more "portuguese traditional" like as it's the concept of the food.

Amazing and absolutely delicious food! - Edit
They recently opened the restaurant at the new location and it was my first time trying their food.
Read moreWe had the Bitoque, the Arroz sem Pato and as a Starter the Salada sem Polvo. The dessert was Pastel de Nata.
All food was delicious, really home flavour taste. The Bitoque was a surprise!
Will surely come back!

Restaurant was closed - Edit
The restaurant was closed at 13:30, there was no sign or any information what time will it open again. Roughly ~10 of us - all different groups - was waiting and wanted to get in for lunch with no success.

I will make a return visit - Edit
Happy to report that the trek to this cloud kitchen was worth it. I was a little skeptical as a first time visitor to Lisbon, venturing to parts unknown, down a path that was not very populated at dusk, was a bit daunting; but once I arrived I was good. Those outside waiting for their orders may have sensed that I was a newbie and assisted me with placing my order online while the person working the kitchen made the recommendation which I welcomed.
Read moreThe food was rather tasty and plentiful - I wish I had ordered more as many items looked delicious. Hopefully on my return visit to Lisbon, this place will still be there.

The best vegan traditional food 💛 - Edit
"A Minha Avó", means "My Grandmother", and it totally feels like your grandma cooked 😜 As a portuguese person who tried the non vegan traditional portuguese food, these vegan versions are sooooo similar, it's insane! I love the "bacalhau" com natas, arroz de "pato" and the chocolate salame. Very central in Lisbon and the team is the sweetest

Great takeaway! - Edit
I ordered from their Christmas menu and got the “bacalhau” com natas which was enjoyed by vegans and non vegans alike! They were also super friendly and quick sorting my very last minute order. Would highly recommend.

Ótima opção de delivery - Edit
Comida gostosa, pedi o carbonara, bolinhas de alheira e salame da avó. A porção do macarrão era grande, dependendo da fome é possível dividir para 2. A única coisa negativa foi que as bolinhas vieram muito oleosas e tinham a consistência pouco firme, mas de sabor eram ótimas.

Rico! - Edit
Es un take away donde hay tres restaurantes. El vegano solo tiene tres platos a elegir, al menos cuando yo fui. Pero los tres tenían muy buena pinta. Me dejé recomendar por el chico y el plato estaba riquísimo! Y la galleta de chocolate que tienen de postre, brutal!

Delicious traditional food - Edit
Just keep in mind that it's just a kitchen, sharing space with other kitchens. You can ask in the counter for the menu of the vegan one and the boss will come out to assist you.
Read moreThe food was really great, only downside is that there were only 2 different dishes available when I went.

typical portuguese food but vegan - Edit
Trata-se de comida tradicional portuguesa, em regime de takeaway, totalmente vegana. Optámos por pedir uma entrada e dois pratos principais: bolinhas de alheira (3 unidades por 5,90€), alheira com batata frita e carne de "porco" à portuguesa (cada prato custou 9,90€). Os preços não são os mais simpáticos, principalmente tendo em conta o tamanho das doses, que são relativamente pequenas, mas cedemos à tentação de provar apenas porque existia uma promoção muito simpática na aplicação utilizada. As bolinhas de alheira estavam saborosas, mas a textura não me conquistou (pouco consistentes) e estavam demasiado fritas. O sabor, por outro lado, está muito bem conseguido, com um forte travo a pimentos e azeitonas. O prato de alheira por sua vez estava mais agradável: apesar de a alheira me parecer a mesma, em termos de sabor, a consistência estava melhor, e não estava saturada em óleo. Vem acompanhada por arroz branco e cascas de batata frita que, novamente, apesar de saborosas, creio que estavam demasiado fritas. A carne de "porco" estava muito bem replicada, com os pickles e as batatas, e super bem temperada. O seitan é caseiro e nota-se, o que é algo positivo.

Remember, It’s a take way / delivery - Edit
They cook traditional Portuguese cuisine in vegan options. The restaurant's name is “My grandmother”, and the food offers this comfort like eating a grandma's food. This is my favorite food in Lisbon.

Adorable - Edit
Note- their current (Apr 2022) hours are different from what it says here, check their website first. The owner and chef are super nice and friendly, he wrote the name (in Portuguese) of each dish on the container which I really appreciated and even added some really cute drawings.
