Lovely food, friendly service - Edit
We were staying in an Airbnb just across the street from Espécie so ended up visiting them a couple of times during our week long stay in Porto. It's a great little place offering tasty vegan and vegetarian food. Everything is made for sharing and they suggest ordering three or four dishes between two people. Everything we had was really good, though I'd particularly recommend the Korean fried cauliflower and the sweet potato curry. A meal for two including a bottle of wine will set you back around €50, which is great value given the quality of food on offer. Highly recommended.

Cons: Not 100% vegan but plenty of choice nonetheless

Awesome - Edit
Great food, really nice staff. Had sweet potato soup, fried banana and rice pudding, very delicious. Wine was great as well. The atmosphere dining in the „garden“ is wonderful.

The nicest staff - Edit
Entrei no restaurante por acaso e foi uma excelente surpresa. Destaco a simpatia dos funcionários, super disponíveis, rápidos, eficientes, sempre com um sorriso na cara, sempre extremamente agradáveis. A comida é saborosa. Todos os pratos são pensados para partilhar, o que permite experimentar várias coisas.

BLOWN AWAY - Edit
the food here was incredible, i was hesitant on the KFC (korean fried cauliflower) because i feel like cauli wings are a bit over done, but WOW. The texture, the flavours… everything was SPOT ON. talk about a foodgasm. the soup was also delicious, it was a mushroom soup and it was creamy with sun dried tomatoes and croutons - i feel like i haven’t had mushroom soup since i was a little kid and this blew my expectations. the eggplant schnitzel was also really good, truly everything blew my mind. this is a MUST stop for all vegans and veg friends out there….. i see why it’s rated 4.5 starts 😍

Must have KFC (Korean Fried Cauliflower) - Edit
Husband and I ate here in December during few days in Porto. The food, service, and ambiance were all great. My husband talked about the Korean Fried Cauliflower for a couple of days, he enjoyed it so much. We appreciated the great vegan options.

Worth a trip - Edit
We didn’t know anything about this place, but went because it was the only veg place open on a Sunday night. She explained they serve small plates and encourage sharing. Very nice atmosphere and lovely staff. We really enjoyed the food a lot, but there is room for improvement. The spicy cauliflower is delicious, we all seem to agree. But it was far too salty. In fact we would have ordered another plate had it not been so. The eggplant cutlet was fantastic, beautifully cooked with a perfect crust. The celeriac was also very good but not nearly as flavorful as the other choices. My other issue was all the dishes came to the table warm but not at all hot. I guess about half the menu was vegan. Didn’t get dessert because the only vegan option was rice pudding, so a hard no.

Hidden gem in Porto - Edit
Both the food and the ambiance are amazing at this restaurant. If you can ask to be seated in the outdoor patio, it has such a lovely vibe. As for the food, I loved everything I tried (especially the KFC and the mushrooms) and everything is reasonably priced.

Great little gem - Edit
Friendly staff, no problems with English (and even humored my terrible Portuguese).
Read moreWe ordered the bread & dips, hearts of palm moqueca, 'Biejing-style' mushrooms, and the celeriac. It was all very delicious, but my personal favorite was the mushrooms.
We were actually on our way to another food place for dinner before we found this, and I'm glad we did because it shouldn't be missed if you're in the area.
Pros: All vegetarian, Friendly
Cons: Upper prices (but worth it)

Don't miss this place! - Edit
We ate here the 3 nights we were in Porto. It was in the next street from where we were staying so very convenient. We loved the choices on the menu and tried nearly all of them. We had the KFC Korean Fried Cauliflower twice. We loved the mushroom crepes and the celeriac which we'd never had before. Sitting in the terrace at the back is the best.
