My first experience at a vegan buffet

Buffet lunch for 12,50 euros. Fresh products and friendly service.
But I didn’t find the food tasty.
They have also nice looking cheesecakes, but I didn’t try.

Boas opções, mas apenas pode comer ‘all you can eat’

Seria bom ter opção de porção e não apenas ‘all you can eat’

Good variety

Was super excited to stumble upon this place walking through the market. I tried a little bit of everything and everything was pretty good. My favorites were the salad which had a mango dressing, a seitan fajita mix, caramelized onion focaccia, and the soup. My only complaint is that all the foods were the same temperature. Cold foods weren’t cold, hot foods weren’t hot. I’m not picky about that, but my husband is. But this is the first real protein I’ve eaten on my trip to Portugal.

Pros: Cheap, Protein options!

Lovely vegan buffet

We had a selection of vegan goodies! Chose the buffet. Look at pics to see selection. Pea, mint soup was superb. Next will be all deserts!

Amazing buffet

Came here for dinner. Really enjoyed the buffet options - nice variety of savoury foods and salads, and nice service. Located in a food hall with lots of other options (a plus if with non-vegans who don’t want to eat with you ://)

Una maravilla 🤗

Pequeño puesto en el mercado de al lado del puerto, donde puedes degustar un buffet vegano!
Increíble la cantidad de cositas que hay y lo rico que está todo.

Great tasty food

A vegan all-you-can-eat buffet. The food was generally good, though some dishes were a bit too salty.

Just ok

Reading the raving reviews I expected more. Maybe it depends on the day, but for me the food had nothing special. It was just ok. Of course it’s nice to find a vegan option, not so widespread on this side of the Douro.

Pros: Affordable, Healthy options

Cons: Not original, Quite bland

Te alimentas

Bastante malo. Probamos un popurrí, garbanzos con verduras durísimos. Pastel de verduras insípido. Tofu sin más. Pasta sin sabor, tanto de pesto como de “queso”. Tampoco hay muchas más opciones a esta parte del río y hay que alimentarse… pero esto no es calidad.

Pros: Barato

Cons: Mala calidad , Nada de sabor

Terrific lunch in the market

I was excited to discover this stall on the east side of the dining hall. It offers lots of options (soup, salad, mains, and dessert), and the line moves quickly because it’s a self-serve buffet. Wine is also available.

Updated from previous review on 2024-07-19

Pros: Many options, Quick, Friendly

Cons: Dining hall has poor air flow

Great vegan salads!

One of the only vegan options I could find in Gaia and it was excellent! Super fresh and tasty food. Big bowls of salads, seitan steaks and sauces. Incredible value for money! It’s set inside a market so going with other people they can choose their food from other stalls if they’d like to!

Vegan buffet in an unexpected location

I was pleasantly surprised to find a vegan buffet stall in a touristy food court in an area frequented by tourists only. Tasty vegan food, great cakes, friendly service. Pay per plate, and finally vegan food is cheaper that meat offers in neighbouring stalls!

Pros: Tasty vegan buffet , Friendly service

The Key Lime pie was the best I’ve ever had. Not too sweet. Not too heavy. Perfect.

Tasty food and large selection

Great food stall inside a food market.
The food options are beautifully presented and are very tasty.
It was €10.50 for the buffet and soup. You get to repeat the buffet.
Juice is extra.
Very friendly employees.

Great variety

Little food stall in the market hall with a lunch and dinner buffet. The food was good, except for me it could have used a little more seasoning. Due to the location it is rather full and loud, but they also have another, bigger location in Porto.

Pros: Variety, Friendly staff, Fair price

Està bien para un apuro.

La atención muy buena. Los platos correctos y buenos, pero fríos. Costaba un poco cogerle sabor. Aun así tenían variedad y estuvo bien. Reponen todo el rato y ponen platos diferentes. El sitio un poco agobiante, mucho turista y pocas mesas (está dentro de un mercado con muchos puestos).
