Lovely salad buffet

Buffet of fresh salads, cous cous, tofu, quiche, Spring roll, rice etc. Lunchtime price was €7.50. Good quality food, fresh and colourful. Bright and clean modern restaurant. Really enjoyed my lunch. Desserts available but I was too full!

Pros: price, quality, location

Cons: buffet only

veg buffet in the city center

We have been there two times already on our current trip to Porto. As we were really satisfied after the first time we actually ended up a second time in this nice vegetarian restaurant because of its convenient location. If you are strolling around in the city center, this might be one of the best choices in the area. The first time we went there we were lucky and the majority of the food was vegan. Unfortunately, the second time we weren't that lucky and didn't consider asking for the vegan dishes beforehand. So we were a little bit disappointed in the end, as the vegan choices were limited. However, the quality is good despite the buffet style and it's also cheap. (€7,50 for the buffet excl. drinks and desserts) They serve soups, salads, fresh fruits and vegetables, fruit shots, pasta, seitan, cooked beans and vegetables, focaccia and many more. We really enjoyed the fruit shots, their freshly baked focaccia and the vegetable spreads. We also had a delicious vegan chocolate cake. The interior design is modern, clean and luminous. It seems to be pretty popular as it was quite crowded both times.

Fairly good vegetarian buffet

Yet another all-you-can-eat vegetarian buffet in Porto. I was here three times in a recent trip to this city, both for lunch and dinner. The food was excellent, however only 60% (approximately) of the dishes were vegan when I ate here, the rest using either dairy or eggs (or both). It seems very popular since it can get really, really busy between 13:00-13:30, with long queues waiting to (re)fill the plates. Service can be slow then and finding a free table can be very complicated. Despite the good food, I didn't get the best impression of it.

Pros: excellent food, central location in Porto old town

Cons: really busy at lunch, overwhelmed service in peak hours

forgettable food and sloppy service

Food was bland & boring

Staff were not forthcoming / smiley / friendly or welcoming. Took forever to get any information or help from them. Bought a take out box, but they insisted on giving us metal currently that needed returning (they had no plastic cutlery) - what is the point? We ended up eating inside and rushing to leave because the overall experience was not enjoyable.

Cosmopolitan and friendly!

Hurrah for such an awesome veggie chain! Super friendly and helpful service in a large, airy dining room. The buffet selection is excellent and great value. Also a good range of desserts, served with care and attention to detail. Most options are vegan.

delicious and cheap!

Wow this food was amazing for a buffet! Very varied, they kept refilling with new things etc. You can take as often as you want and in the evening you pay only 9.90 euros/person (for the buffet excl drinks or dessert); ridiculously cheap for such tasty food!
My boyfriend is non veggi and totally loved the food as well, even went 3 times.
He likes this resto the best out of all Portugese resto's he had eaten at before (that were non veggi).
10/10!
They also have great pies as dessert and fresh juices.
Go before 8pm because then it gets crowded quickly. The place is quite big and feels spacious, also very close to the railway station so great location.

Stylish On and Off the Plate

Da Terra is a modern, sleek looking vegetarian restaurant with a strong sense of style, which is reflected in the food. We visited here for dinner and were made to feel very welcome by the staff who explained the buffet service and what dishes were on offer. We were impressed by the range of dishes and got more of a surprise with some of their flavour combinations as they were imaginative and got our taste buds tingling. All the food was freshly prepared and we were able to help ourselves to as much as we wanted, it was hard not to go back for thirds. The restaurant has plenty of seating and some quiet corners too, so it should keep everyone happy.

Pros: Excellent Food

They didn't have any vegan dessert available and that was not very good.
It's a big restaurante and the staff is very nice.
They have na average price.

Cosmopolitan and lively

Every time me and my wife visit Porto we look up the new vegetarian restaurants that seem to be popping up everywhere in Porto and Matosinhos! We promptly singled out daTerra as one of the new restaurants to try out because of the excellent location very near São Bento metro and train stations.

On Saturday night I walked past the restaurant three times before and after participating in the MEO Urban Trail and daTerra had a very warm and inviting atmosphere, and was always almost full of very lively people.

I think these were the things I enjoyed the most when we finally had lunch at daTerra the following day. The restaurant has a very agreeable decoration and atmosphere that matches the cosmopolitan nature of the city and of the many tourists that gathered there to have a replenishing meal.

The food itself was varied and well presented but did not stand out greatly from other vegetarian buffets that we have tried. Everything was quite tasty, though, and the staff was professional in an inconspicuous but friendly way.

At the end of the day, daTerra reminded me and my wife how easy it is to have very pleasant meals in the northern region of Portugal, even if we're vegan!

Disappointing

Although the all-you-can-eat buffet with a very good looking presentation, and the fact that the first restaurant (in Matosinhos) is quite good (I gave 4 stars near the 5), this new one in Porto left me very disappointed.
The price is good / reasonable to portuguese standard prices (even so it's one of the best prices / quality in the vegetarian restaurants market in portugal), waiters and waiteress were not very focus on they're job. The food was really not that great, I have the sensation this restaurant is more focused in finger food compared to the three courses menu in Matosinhos, so, only a part of the food was good for me. The spring rolls or paper crepes in the end were awful and weren't even well attached. I was expecting more, because I can cook much better at home and for that reason I got a lot of disapointed.
The place is new, a bit fancy / cliché. It has an open space, more information about the ingredients or the name of the food should be easier to get.
The lights (electricity general) went off twice while I was eating there. I even asked for a discount giving the bad experience but I got ignored.
Not a very good experience at all. I will not go back to the Porto restaurant. I won't give less than 3 stars because I try to believe that it was a bad day for them.

Pros: All-you-can-eat, Location-Porto downtown

Cons: Food standard, Technical problems Electricity, Waiteress

Amazing food for great price

We went to this restaurant and were AMAZED with quality and variety of food during lunch hours. Every single dish was delicious!

It's 7,5€ for all-you-can-eat buffet, and you pay extra for drinks and dessert. The place is brand new, clean, modern, location is great and staff is very friendly. Highly recommended to everyone.

We are definitely coming back!

Pros: location, price to quality, delicious
