Overrated - overly salty - under baked

For starters they could ensure what they bake is actually baked before serving.
For some reason everything is either overly salty or very little to no salt.

All in all it is highly disappointing. Loads of options - but none is really any good.
I would stick to the smaller independent vegan places spread around the town.

Pros: Not much really

Cons: Unbaked goods, Too salty, Overly staffed

great spot for hungry vegans :)

this place offers a buffet of various vegan dishes at a fixed price - 8ish for breakfast, 10ish for lunch and 12ish euros for dinner. (drinks and deserts extra) the food was good, some of it could have been warmer, but that’s to be expected of a buffet i guess. i really liked the seitan steak, but they also had seasonal vegetables like crunchy cauliflower and sprouts, spinach filled pastries, salads etc.

Pros: good value for money , the seitan steak!, fully vegan

Cons: buffet so less fresh/hot than it could be

Good value

Had the lunch time buffet €10.50 (not including drinks and dessert), it’s good value with lots of healthy tasty food. Came back for dinner for €12.50. Lovely staff

Nice Buffet with lots of Selections

I dined here with friends on October 18, 2023. There was a huge selection at the buffet and new items were constantly being added to the buffet table. The food though, while good enough, wasn't anything special. Most items seemed to taste similar.

The service left something to be desired. It seemed like forever before we could get the attention of someone to order a bottle of wine, and then when it came to our table, it was not what we ordered. A lot of people were working here, but nobody seemed to be in charge. It didn't appear to be as if anyone was managing the huge staff on duty.

As a vegan, I appreciate the effort of this restaurant and would dine here again, but maybe at a different location, as there seem to be many.

Pros: Lots of choices at the buffet, with labels, Nice, clean atmosphere, Convenient location

Cons: Disorganized and neglectful service

An Oasis

Fresh buffet was tasty with variety of unique presentations of vegetarian food. Best DaTerra we tried.

Pros: You can return to buffet.

Cons: Downstairs restrooms had lines.

Very kind staff

Loads of choice of food - not a fast / junk food, more of a healthy food place. Open, light place with many staff and reasonable drinks and dessert prices (neither are included in the buffet price) - they even allows our kiddo to eat a couple of tiny bits of our plates without charging us (our kids are very small) which was ace. Have high chairs and baby changing for those who care. Much recommended.

Pros: Lots of choice, Reasonable prices for extras, Great coffee

Cons: Baby change outside kitchen door

Nice vegan buffet

I like the buffet so you can choose what you want but some of the options are pretty basic. Would love to have a better selection especially for hot food items.

Pros: Vegan buffet , Mich Space , Fair price

Delicious food

We went there 3 times at our stay in Porto. The pancakes for breakfast were soo good! And the lunch and dinner buffet for 10,50€ / 12,50€ was also really tasty. The staff there is super friendly. Would always go there again.

Burgers need improvement

We heard good things about the buffet. Unfortunately we arrived too late/early and could only order of the menu. Both tried the seitan burger, which was disappointing. Tasteless and smooshy. The potatoes where very tasty. The smoothie as well. Next time we’ll try the buffet!

Bueno pero poca variedad

El buffet está bien, pero estaría bien que hubieran más opciones para escoger, ya que no hay muchas. Mi padre se quedó muy decepcionado cuando vio que no había patatas de ninguna clase. Por otrlo lado, los postres están deliciosos!

large filling buffet

Except for desserts and drinks, you can take everything from the buffet for 12,50€. It was so filled that we didn't have to catch up a second meal. Everything was very tasty. Especially the fried potatoes with their dip and a kind of goulash with kidney beans. So price-performance ratio is very good. Something bothered us, that the music consisted of charts quite loudly and did not fit to the cafe in our opinion. It would also have been great if some more vegetables had been offered. But that's high-level criticism, it was very good overall.

Pros: very good price-performance ratio , very tasty

Cons: relatively loud chart music, More vetables at the buffet would be great

Great vegan buffet

Reasonably priced, all vegan lunch buffet with a wide variety, more on the “healthier side”.

Tasty sandwiches

DaTerra was a great cafe to chill out at while we were stopped off in Porto.

We were too late for the buffet, but got ourselves a couple of sandwiches, some drinks and desserts.

It was just lacking either a little bit of wow factor or super cheap prices, if this was the case it would have gotten full marks from me.

Overall a nice and standard cafe experience - not really any complaints!

4 stars from niki_nine

Pros: Tasty food, Nice staff

Cons: No wow factor

Mediocre

Platos sin sabor, el bufet de noche eran 12,50 sin bebida ni postres. Recomendaría otras opciones y pequeños restaurantes de la ciudad.

awesome

I originally didn't plan on going there because I'm usually not a big fan of buffets but I'm so glad I did. We went both for breakfast and dinner.

I think I'd rate the breakfast I personally had 4 stars (we had the breakfast for two) because it was good but could have been even better, but I saw they offer a lot of other more unique pancakes and bagels which I'd love to try one day. Their pancake recipe is delicious, I also really enjoyed the joghurt.

For dinner we put together a box to go (8€) from the buffet and went to watch the sunset, which was a great idea. They offer so many delicious things at their buffet but I especially enjoyed a tofu dip they had, the lasagna and cauliflower.

If I return to Porto I will definitely go here again and would love to try some of their desserts too. It's a great concept and should be more common in my opinion— when we went for dinner we showed up before the buffet opened and right when the clock hit 19:30 so many people swarmed in, it seems to be very popular and deservedly so!

Pros: huge buffet with many great options, good prices

Cons: they're strict about ending breakfast at 11:30

sehr gutes veganes Buffet!

Ich war erst skeptisch aber muss sagen der Besuch hat sich gelohnt. Die Auswahl ist wirklich sehr gut und das Essen ebenso. Viel verschiedenes und “außergewöhnliches”

Pros: Guter Preis für “all you can eat” Buffet, Gute Qualität , Sehr lecker

Mellorar

Moi decepcionante, fai uns anos gustounos moito con moita variedade. A última vez apenas so había pan e ensaladas, faltaban máis pratos quentes e máis pratos con pasta ou legumes
