Very good

I had a typical portugese dish, it was marked as vegetarian in the menu but they made it all vegan for me and it was delicious!
Defitely a nice place to eat and enjoy!

Handy lunch when on a tour

We had a couple of hours on our own and were happy to find a convenient restaurant with clearly marked vegan options. The soy-based feijoada was satisfying.

Pros: Clear vegan options, Outdoor seating, Centrally located

Gran variedad de opciones veganas

En pleno centro de Braga con muchas opciones veganas/vegetarianas. No están concretamente específicadas las veganas, pregunta porque la mayoría se pueden veganizar (como el risotto o las brushetas).
Además, tienen algunos platos (bistec o bacalao) para tus acompañantes no veganos.

Pros: El servicio, Muchas opciones, Delicioso

Cons: Tiempo de espera

Partly vegetarian restaurant at the entry of the old city

We were happy to find vegan dishes in this restaurant at the entry of the old city. We ate a vegetarian lasagna and beans/tofu, a tiramisu, and a so-called crumble. It was too expensive for the quality of the cuisine.

Pros: Vegetarian friendly

Cons: Expensive, Mediocre cuisine

Traditional pleasure

Anjo Verde is a special place in the city center which serves vegetarian dishes. Vegan meals are not specifically indicated on the menu, but the staff is kind to tell you which meals are ok. Traditional Portuguese cuisine is served and I had a Tofu Stroganoff and veg skewers, all tasty, fresh and good in size. All min courses are served with fresh vegetables and basmati or red rice. Even desserts are great. Recommended.

Comida ruim

Comida muito ruim. Restaurante vegetariano com pouquíssimas opções veganas. Infelizmente prezam mais por derivados animais do que ingredientes vegetais.

Ambiente bonito, restaurante elegante. Mas um prato veio sujo e o atendente de mesa apenas limpou com a mão na nossa frente.

Pedimos torradas, que eram industrializadas, com patê (que estava ok). As pataniscas estavam sem sabor nenhum, sem tempero.
Hambúrguer de grão de bico extremamente mole, parecia mais um purê do que um hambúrguer. Nem as fritas estavam boas.
A berinjela parmegiana estava crua no centro. O estrogonofe de tofu também não estava temperado, totalmente insosso.

Os pratos eram acompanhados por: arroz basmati, que estava bom; mix de legumes (repolho, milho, couve flor, brócolis) com sabor muito estranho de peixe, pareciam aqueles sacos congelados que compramos no mercado; uma espécie de chutney de abacaxi terrível com muito cominho (que pensei ser canela); e uma saladinha básica de alface, tomate, beterraba e cenoura.

A conta para 4 pessoas deu o total de 56€, o que é ok pela localização mas pela comida não valia nem a metade. Decepcionada com a qualidade da comida, principalmente por estar sempre cheio, com fila de espera.

Pros: Ambiente bom

Cons: Comida sem sabor, Poucas opções veganas , Tudo com queijo e ovo

Nice dinner

Big plates and tasty food. I had the stroganoff. I did not order dessert because of the language barrier. Not sure whether they had any vegan desserts.

Good vegan options, but they could be expanded

The restaurant is vegetarian (eggs and dairy allowed) but there were a few vegan options. I ate the 'strogonoff de tofu' which was great with very good sides.

Dessert-wise, there was only one option and they had run-out when I tried ordering.

Pros: The vegan options that exist are quite tasty

Cons: Few vegan desserts

Nice and cosy place in the old part of the town. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food was very good. Friends and relatives non-vegan approved :)

Desiludida

Das vezes que lá fui, não me surpreendeu. Os acompanhamentos são sempre os mesmos e o atendimento é fraco. Os funcionários não têm também conhecimento sobre o que é ou não vegan. Quanto às sobremesas, nenhuma é Vegan!
Podiam também inovar nos chás, pois das vezes que lá fui, era muito mau (sabia literalmente a feno).

Pros: Localização

Cons: Estacionamento, Fraco atendimento, Não tem sobremesas vegan

Very Good Vegan Food

We stopped in during Holy Week/Easter Week and we’re seated right away, even though it was a busy night (right before a procession). The restaurant was clean and minimally, tastefully decorated—comfortable, casual, and welcoming.

The waitress knew limited English, but was friendly and helpful and brought over an English speaking man (perhaps the manager or owner). He was adorable, funny, and kind...and was quick to point out the vegan-only options that we inquired about. While most foods were clearly marked as such, it never hurts to ask, which lead us to the soup, which wasn’t marked vegan.

The soup was very, very good—a creamy squash, I presume—which is not something I often praise because it’s typically pretty basic, but this was tasty. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. If only every creamy soup was like this one!

For our mains, my man had a stroganoff (seitan) dish and I had a tofu dish, both over a rice of our choosing and, while they were similarly flavored, his was creamier (and topped with tiny, fried potato slivers) and mine had maybe a bit more complexity (and mushroom caps and tomato cubes). It’s hard to say which was better—both were excellent—and we traded often. The sides varied between the two plates and all of them were good.

A vegan/vegetarian/meat eater would enjoy either of the dishes we had, without question, and we’d go again if we had another night in town. Lovely place, good service, and excellent food!

Pros: Tasty Vegan Options, Lovely Interior, Nice Staff

Not very vegan friendly

Came here near the end of the lunch hour. The vegan options were not marked and the waiter and kitchen took quite a bit of convincing before they agreed to prepare a vegan dish. Would not recommend.

Cons: Not vegan friendly

few nice vegan options

At diner they had 3 mains: vegetable tart, tofu with mushrooms and eggplant (the last we didn't have). all come with rice, cuscus, cooked vegetables , salad [all in one big plate] plus herbs tea, for euro8.5.
It was good but not exciting, reasonable option for vegans, filing inexpensive and healthy.
Nice decor. vegan options not marked, but the waiter can explain in reasonable English.

Pros: healthy and filling, inexpensive, nice decor

Cons: no desserts, not many options

Seitan with basmati rice and cuscus

Delicious dish, with the right proportion of food, with the possibility to change some items to make it vegan. Around 15 euros per person, with the main dish and wine. Good environment!

Pros: Good vegan alternatives.

Cons: Not too expensive.

Anjo Verde at Braga

Went alone at a Wednesday night and I was the only client. The only vegetarian restaurant open in the zone so it was a easy choice.

Liked the food, the music and the space. Service was ok.

Pros: Nice food, Full plate, Nice music

Cons: Just ok service , Too quiet (I was the only one there)

Just another lazy vegetarian

Having visited this restaurant over the years I decided to review it know due to its poor vegan options and for me what is a lazy vegetarian place.

On my last visit for dinner I only found one vegan option and the other four or so options were simply bad versions of Portuguese dishes with no meat, but with cheese, eggs and cream... Oh well... Not a vegan heaven indeed and I think not a good option for vegetarians for their lack of inspiration.

The staff wasn't friendly and the room isn't cosy, specially on a rainy night.

Good if you're an ovo-lacto vegetarian

Me and my wife had dinner at Anjo Verde on a rainy weekday night and the restaurant was really quiet because we were one of the first ones to arrive.

I had already known Anjo Verde before I was a vegetarian and had really liked this place, but this time it was a bit of a disappointment for me. Mainly because there were very few vegan options available and the staff didn't seem too empathetic about our concerns and questions regarding the food...

We both ended up ordering the only vegan dish available, a vegetable tart, and although it wasn't bad at all, it wasn't anything too amazing either. I ended up enjoying much more the little bit of well seasoned couscous and chutney that accompanied the tart.

Although I still think that Anjo Verde is a nice option for a vegetarian meal at Braga, during our stay me and my wife ended up discovering much more exciting places to eat a satisfying vegan meal in the city!

Pros: Location, Big and stylish room

Cons: Almost no vegan options, Staff not too empathetic
