Wonderful! - Edit
We had such a unique and delicious meal here - thank you! It's a treasure tucked away near Sintra, not primarily a restaurant but serving up organic home cooked vegan food (even home-made tofu.) It's great value for money, and the service was so friendly and professional. We will definitely remember our experience here and are inspired to cook new things. Good to call in advance.

Lovely place - Edit
Zauberhafte Atmosphäre! Das Essen wird zum größten Teil aus Zutaten des hauseigenen Garten zubereitet und somit saisonal gestaltet. Es hat toll geschmeckt und die Gastgeberin und Köchin in einer Person war sehr liebenswürdig und herzlich. Ein einmaliges Erlebnis und absolut empfehlenswert.

Incrível - Edit
Na verdade, é uma associação (ou seja, muito mais do que um restaurante). O ideal é participar da oficina de culinária e logo em seguida comer uma comida fresca, orgânica e 100% vegan. A senhora Isaura é a mestra culinária e espiritual.

A magical experience - Edit
We did not make a reservation but walked up for lunch today on recommendation of our hosts at Colina Flora. Isuara welcomes us and made us feel at home. There were rescued cats/kittens which were a pleasure to see looked after. The ambience was so homely and relaxed. We had a 4 course lunch which was truly cooked from the heart, really delicious and ample. Home made kombucha was a real treat. Who would want to go to a restaurant when you can have real hospitality and amazing home cooked food like this supporting this association?

Travelling Portugal/Colares-Sintra - Edit
Beautiful & peacefull place recommended by our hosts (Colina Flora-Veggie guesthouse in Colares). Varied daily menu served by a so nice woman, very smiling. Situated in his green area, with his own vegetable garden. Very good food, low price. I definitely recommend this nice vegan place, with a very good quality food, his ambience, animals, and staff.

An Incredible Experience - Edit
Isaura and her team are together creating some really delicous, organic, wholesome vegan food. The 4-course lunch menu is 15 euro and well worth it. Their homemade kombucha is stellar and Isaura is more than happy to let you get seconds of anything on the menu until you're full :)

Great food. Great experience - Edit
Great vegan food! The empada was delicious - the most delicious empada I’ve ever eaten!!! Decent 4 course meal with tea/coffee included. I adored the heavenly homemade dessert - it was a delicious apple muffin (it doesn’t sound like much but it was the perfect size to end a large meal. Did I mention delicious). The service was amazing. The people were very friendly. It’s a very organic/rustic/earthly home, don’t expect a modern chic restaurant. The cuisine is vegan (obviously) but also Portuguese and traditional. It’s a great experience. The people are great. A little over priced. It was 17.50. I think 10-15 euros would be more appropriate.

Dear Rebekah,
Read moreFive months have passed since my first answer. In that moment I didn´t have enough time to write longer ( too busy-summer-time). Now in winter, with less movement, I can complete my answer about our prices.
Thanks again for your feed-back, which helps us to make clear this important aspect.
Since we started this project (2010) we try to practice realistic prices. Facing big challenges as to keep it affordable for all but and at the same time to keep the quality.
One of our goals, as an association, is to contribute to create a "new food awareness " so we organise some activities as organic gardening, organic-vegan-workshops, and others wellness activities.
We think is so important to spread the message to chose organic food, to support organic farmers, to support local producers. Our goal is not only to serve yummy dishes, but at the same time make them for enhance vitality and immunity. Our mission is to create consciousness and care for the body, the planet and the animals. Our activities have educational porpoises, and this implies amounts of dedication, energy and money.
Our cookery is all home made, artisan kind, and take much more time than the conventional. We have our own production of veggies, long-term-fermentaion-bread, the pastries, the cakes, the empadas, kombucha, sauces, pickles, and other fermented food, etc. We use special ingredients like organic cereal (all of them), organic pasta, sea-weeds, coffee, or teas, we use only spelt organic flour (we stopped to use "normal" gmo wheat), all the veggies we use are fresh from our garden or small-organic-farmer production from our neighbourhood, not supermarket-veggies or frozen ingredients. And some of them are really gourmet. :)
Yes, comparing with "normal" vegetarian or vegan restaurant maybe looks "over priced". Yes we choose organic, and this makes a big difference. Unfortunately in Portugal organic food is still more expensive. Hope the future be more "green" for all and in all senses! Again, gratitude for your visit and your review.

Delicious home-cooked organic vegan foods - Edit
This is not a primarily a restaurant but a place where you can follow classes and do workshops, but please read on.
Read moreThey prefer that you call in advance so they can make sure there is enough (since they don't like wasting food). You can also just stop by and ask if they can make you something if they have something.
You definitely needs to stop by and eat here, you won't be disappointed! Everything is vegan and from locally produced organic sources.
We also followed a yoga class and attended a singing bowl concert. Very special.
Wondeful people and wonderful place to go and enjoy the food!

Highly recommend - Edit
My sister and I went here for dinner during our stay by Praia Grande. We found it pretty easily and weren't quite sure what to expect when we arrived but it was better than anything we could have imagined.
Read moreThe interior was very cozy and homely, like stepping into someone's living room. The atmosphere was very relaxing and the food was amazing. The hostess was so sweet and lovely and we felt welcome at once.
To start us off we got a whole pitcher of homemade kombucha. The dinner that day started with a lentil dip and bread, followed by vegetable soup (made with vegetables from her own garden). Then, as a main course, we had basmati rice with tofu rolled in seaweed and vegetables. For dessert we had a brown rice cream with coconut milk along with some digestive herbal tea.
The whole meal was enough for us but the hostess told us that if we wanted any more of the food she served, we could just ask, which was very nice.
We would both recommended this place to anyone coming to the Sintra coast, it is well worth the trip!

great food and atmosphere - Edit
Went there in August 2016. Even though the address was hard to find for our navigation, when we arrived we got a warm welcome in a charming little place (they even offered some other customers to crash there) as well as a four course menu with delicious Peruvian food and homemade kombucha! We were also allowed to drink our own red wine as they don't offer any alcohol. My non-vegan friends agreed that this was the best food we had on our trip through Portugal ;)

I disagree with previous reviewer about the price. I think £15 for 3.5 course meal is VERY generous and you leave the place stuffed and very happy. The owner is very kind lady that creates a warm and homey atmosphere. The food is delicious and always different makes you want to come back more often.

One of the best dining experiences in my life, the food is prepared and served in a home made way, full of flavour, variety and intention. The menu is usually fixed with a couple of options to choose from on the day. Make a reservation in advance so they can prepare your meal.
