One of the 2 vegan restaurants in Coimbra

The food was simple but very tasty, well-prepared and seasoned, and the portions were generous.
They have a daily menu, so even though it's a buffet, there aren't any "options," but you can choose to skip a side dish, if there's someting you don't like.
The seats near the "windows" offer a nice view.

The price is:
12€ - meal tea
14€ - soup meal tea

Decent lunch spot

Simple daily menu that seems popular in Coimbra. Kind staff carefully plated meal complete with seeds and wide selection of tastes. Nice flavors with selection of fresh ingredients of comfort filling food. Nice lemongrass tea. Upstairs on second floor!

The worst vegan restaurant !

The " cook" should be removed from this job. There is no talent, no love, no attention and no talent for taste or cooking.
I am a vegan more then 30 years. I have traveled the world and ate in many vegan establishments. This place is a concentration camp for food.
I have paid €14 for a tasteless brown beans, tasteless pumpkin soup and 5 half cooked green cabbage leafs.

Cons: Tasteless, loveless food. , 14 euro for soup and beans.., The worst vegan "restaurant" I visited .

Simple but good food

They only have 1 option and you ca choose if you want to left out something you don't like. It's 10€ and it includes tea. You have more options that include a soup and dessert.

Pros: Good healthy tasty food, Location - not far away from the downtown Coimbra, Not expensive for what you get

Cons: They took a little bit to open

Poca variedd

Las galerías en las que está ubicado muy bonitas pero al llegar al restaurante, pese a la buena calificación nos hemos encontrado con poca variedad. Hemos decidido ir a comer a otro sitio finalmente.

A bit expensive for what they offer

I did not eat in this day because the food being offered was a combination of rice, lentils and cabbage. And the menu costs 11,50€. Which I feel is way too expensive for that. I will try to pass by another day and give another chance.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Expensive for type of food offered

One of the best meals in Portugal

I can’t say how much I enjoyed every single thing on my plate!! Incredibly delicious, super friendly English speaking staff, and the menu (soup, main plate and tea) for 11€. So so so happy!

Super healthy and tasty

There are not plenty of options, that’s not the idea. 4 hot plates / 4 salads and one protein. Served with soup and tea. They use only organic ingredients. The dessert (a cake on the day I went) was delicious, fresh, and soft without white sugar.

INCRÍVEL!!🥰🔝

Comida saudável e um prato completo!! A sopa estava bastante boa, mas realmente acho incrível como o prato tinha tanta diversidade e quantidade, estive apenas de visita na cidade, mas de certo que irei voltar apenas para ir comer à cantina! A equipa representa o conceito e a simpatia é mais que natural. Amei tudo !! Muito obrigada pelo trabalho ☺️🙏🏽

Super Essen

Leider waren wir erst kurz vor der Schließung da, sodass es für uns eigentlich nichts mehr zu Essen gab. Aber der freundliche Verkäufer hatte vermutlich so ein schlechtes Gewissen dass er uns 1 Portion in unsere Box gepackt hat ( Es ergab von der Menge eher 2 Portionen 😊💞) Das Essen ist vollwertig, überlegt und gesund. Supercool!!!!!

Es gibt nur ein einziges Menü, aber die Qualität ist sehr gut

Average food

The restaurant is hard to find, the indoor looks like a school cantina, cold and unfriendly. The food doesn't taste like much, had to put lots of salt and pepper to taste anything. But I appreciate that they serve healthy vegan food even though it wouldn't hurt them to add some spices in their food.

Pros: fully vegan mains, cheap

Cons: tasteless food, cold indoors

Great

I have gone here a couple of times, the most recent was last friday. Always good food and friendly staff.

However lately i noticed there's one less option than it used to be, so the choice is a bit more limited. This also applies to the beverage that comes with the menu, which is usually some kind of hot tea, however you can ask for water instead (i think you can also buy separately some cold beverages, like water and beer). Additionally if you arrive late, the food may have run out or you may have to wait some time.

Pros: Great food, Great staff

Cons: Limited options, Always hot beverage with menu

Ótimo atendimento e uma delícia de comida!

É um espaço acolhedor, situado dentro de um centro comercial, com funcionários extremamente solícitos e carismáticos!😄O prato é servido com porções generosas. Comida saborosíssima, muito bem equilibrada nos temperos e na escolha dos ingredientes; ementa bem escolhida. O custo foi de 10€ por: uma sopa + um prato principal, incluindo salada + um copo de chá quente. Saí bastante satisfeita e com certeza retornarei tão logo estiver em Coimbra novamente. A única ressalva é que poderia haver uma pequena sobremesa incluída no valor da refeição (como um cookie, uma trufa...)

Pros: Excellent food, Generous portions, Friendly staff

Cons: Should include a (small) dessert in the price
