Disappointing - Edit
Guess I wasn’t as lucky as the previous users! I asked if they could veganize any of the risottos and the server’s answer was that it would ruin the recipes. Therefore I ordered the burger, which was underwhelming - the vegetable patties were of a mid supermarket brand and served scalding hot and dry. They were also presented with mayo, even after I said I wanted a vegan meal. It ended being a bit too expensive for the low quality. However, the place is nice and the padron peppers I had as starters were good.

Get the truffle mushroom risotto! - Edit
This restaurant serves mostly seafood but they do have a few dishes that can be made vegan. I got the truffle mushroom risotto without cheese. Best risotto I’ve ever had!

Not bad - Edit
There are 3 or 4 vegetarian options that can be veganised by not adding the cheese, but no substitution is offered, making those meals really plain and not worth the price ( e.g. pasta with veggies for 10€). There is a vegan burger which tastes good, maybe a bit dry.

Only one vegan option - Edit
The only vegan option was the burger, which tasted decent. The best part of eating here was the atmosphere, but sadly the waiter was intoxicated and not very nice - wouldn’t return.

Small and cozy traditional restaurant - Edit
In the city center of Portimao this was probably the only one restaurant open even in the later hours. There were not many vegan options - more classical food I would say such as pasta and so on, but they had one vegetarian burger. I wasnt quite sure if it was vegan (and as I had quite negative experience from Safari restaurant where we get "burger" but without a bun) I rather ordered veggie soup and classic pasta with veggies. Both were nice, delicious and filling, so together with fresh orange juice (which is also a classic thingy in here, what I love the most about this place), I was trully satisfied and dont mind the price so much. Staff was OK, understand and speak english (what is a big plus!), but they obviously like more french customers as they pay more attention to them (which we notices also in other restaurants).

Hidden Gem - Edit
There’s only one vegan option on the dinner menu which is a vegan burger, however it’s definitely worth going. It feels like a real authentic Portuguese dining experience, lovely surroundings, beautiful tiles and an ancient well in the bathroom! The burger was delicious, full of spinach and edamame beans. And the staff were really nice. We loved it!

Very good - Edit
Very nice small restaurant. Owner was very gracious & gave me a short tour of the building as he showed me to the restroom. Look down outside the bathroom door & you will see the original well for the building. Food & local wine was delicious!

Veganer Burger und Brat-Gemüse - Edit
Inzwischen gibt es dauerhaft ein veganes Burger-Menu sowie vegane Sides. Die vegetarischen Gerichte können auch vegan serviert werden. Nettes Ambiente und eine Viiiiiiielzahl an Weinen dazu (unklar, ob vegane Weine dabei).

Super Alternative! - Edit
Wir waren etwas verunsichert, das es für das „Casa da Tocha“ noch keine Bewertungen gibt, aber unsere Sorge war unbegründet. Ganz im Gegenteil! Tolles Ambiente, freundliches Personal und super leckeres Essen!
Read moreDas vegane Menü gibt es nur zur Mittagszeit, wir haben am Abend trotzdem köstliches Essen bekommen!
Die „Pimentos“ sind die Besten, die wir je gegessen haben!
Die Patatas sind hervorragend gewürzt und die Fettucchini....unbeschreiblich lecker! Dazu einen leckeren Wein, wir sind glücklich, das „Casa da Tocha“ gefunden zu heben!
Pros: ungewöhnliches, ansprechendes Ambiente
