Hidden gem in Amarante

They do lunches and cafeteria, the food looks so yummy. The space outside is amazing, looking out to the river. Unfortunately they don't have vegan ham or cheese. But they have plant based milks.

Pros: All vegetarian lunches, Small market selling organic products

Cons: It's a shame they don't have any vegan sweets

Home made style food

Gorgeous views over river Tâmega and green surroundings on the outside dining space.

Friendly staff and delicious homemade-style food. Good portions and prices.

Usually, the daily dish is Vegan but please ask ahead to be sure! 😉 Some desserts can be vegan, but usually they aren't.

Delicious food

We had the daily menu with soup, main course and a fresh juice.
Staff is really nice and the place is really well placed right in the center.
It’s vegetarian so there’s some things that might have diary or eggs.

Pros: Price, Delicious food, Location

Cons: Not 100% vegan

Un sitio agradable, con vistas al río y carta vegetariana

De no ser por Happy cow, no lo habría encontrado, está dentro de la casa cultural de la juventud. Pedimos 3 menús del día con sopa. Pagamos 21 euros. El personal muy agradable y el servicio rápido.

Pros: Opciones veganas, Buen precio, Buenas vistas

Vegetarian restaurant

It is a refreshing restaurant with the specials of the day. The meal was vegetarian but they made it vegan for me. The view is great.

O melhor sítio para almoçar em Amarante!

Com vista para o rio Tâmega, no Bar do Girassol (no interior da Casa da Juventude) conseguimos ter uma refeição equilibrada e saborosa ovo láctea vegetariana/vegana. O prato do dia era hamburguer de quinoa, mas pedi para retirar o queijo e ficou um prato totalmente vegan. O sumo de laranja é muito bom e servido numa quantidade bem grande. É sem dúvida o melhor sítio para almoçar em Amarante. Preço justo, refeição equilibrada e com produtos locais.

Pros: Refeição bem composta, Fica no centro da cidade , Esplanada

Cons: Não está aberto para jantar

Attentive staff and very affordable

The bistro offers vegetarian food (not necessarily vegan) with a very affordable menu. We ate soup with a few pieces of very good bread (likely homemade but we forgot to ask) and the daily main course (luckily vegan on that day). There were no vegan desserts so we ate a slice of very tasty watermelon.

Cons: Could have a fixed vegan main course for each day

Delightful

A really pleasant and friendly restaurant, part community enterprise, with a very short menu that changes every day. Delicious, simple food served by friendly staff, and exceptionally good value (an excellent cup of coffee was 75cents). We are going back tomorrow -what more of a recommendation could there be than that.

Pros: Delightful, Delicious , Very good value
