Simply incredible!

Kong totally wowed us. We had cauliflower wings and croquettes to start which were tasty and plentiful, but the big wow factor came from the ‘steak and egg’ dish, served with a side of rice, salad and fries (a very generous portion too!). Honestly incredible. This was so tasty and a really cool concept for me. We concluded with the Nutella cake and the parfait for dessert – I highly recommend the parfait, what an amazing combination of mango and chocolate. Definitely go if you’re in Lisbon. I hope to return someday.

Incredible vegan Portuguese food

I mean, wow. This menu is unique, innovative, daring, and it really pays off - the food is delicious!

I had the croquettes and steak with egg and I could not fault a thing. I loved how the steak dish came with rice, chips and salad. It’s impressive how they manage to make the steak and egg taste good. The croquettes were flavourful and crunchy.

The staff were friendly and the restaurant is nice and welcoming.

I’d definitely recommend this place, I loved it!

Edit to add: I came back and tried the bruschetta which was insanely good, and the octopus main dish which was also really nice. Love it here!

Best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to

Wow. What a place! The ambiance is amazing and the staff so welcoming and friendly. I loved that they serve the vegan versions of traditional Portuguese food. My husband and I shared the croquettes which had a lovely smoky melted cheese flavour. Then shared two of the mains - the seitan and egg dish and the cheese and chorizo sandwich dish. Both absolutely phenomenal. My husband who is Omni said he LOVED the sandwich. I found them both equally as great. We ended with their pasties da nata and a decaf coffee. If you come to Lisbon, this restaurant is a MUST!

Pros: Fully vegan and delicious, Traditional Portuguese cuisine veganised , Friendly welcoming staff with great ambience

Sie wissen, was sie tun

Sehr nette Bedienung, gutes Konzept und sie wissen, was sie tun. Das Seitan-Steak hatte verschiedene Konsistenzen, wie ein echtes, die Pommes waren perfekt, die Soße köstlich und die Snickers-Torte super lecker. Ich hätte mich über etwas mehr Gemüse in der Auswahl gefreut, aber das, was es gab, war perfekt.

INCRED

The restaurant itself is really nice and staff super friendly and helpful and oh my gosh the food! We had croquettes to start which somehow tasted cheesy and like Christmas at the same time. The francesinha was beautiful my partner loved it and I adored the vegan salmon, especially the potatoes which were SO creamy. Finally we shared parfait which was also lovely. We went at lunch time but I'm sure its fantastic in the evening as well.

Highly Recommend

Amazing! Beautiful, clean restaurant - great vibe! Food was fantastic. We had the octopus, croquettes, seitan steak with mustard sauce (the best!), and snicker tart! If you only eat one thing: get the seitan steak with mustard sauce. But honestly, everything was good, and plenty. We shared among two people, and it was more than enough.

Pros: Excellent and interesting food! , Lovely ambience, Friendly service

Amazing service, delicious food!

You can tell why this is top rated. The food is delicious and service amazing. If you are vegan and want a taste of local Portuguese cuisine, vegan style - you must visit Kong.

Loved it/adorei

Adorei este lugar. Bom ambiente, staff incrível, localização maravilhosa. Adoro poder comida portuguesa na versão vegan deliciosa. As croquetes de alheira eram muito boas. Eu pedi “salmão” (tofu) com as batatas cremosas estava muito delicioso. O meu amigo pediu o bitoque, que estava bom mas após algum tempo o molho que é à base de mostarda pode ficar um pouco enjoativo (talvez num pão como seita na ficasse ótimo 😋), os acompanhamentos tradicionalmente maravilhosos elevaram o prato. A apresentação e porções também eram muito boas e o preço justo. Estávamos muito cheios para poder pedir sobremesa. No geral, um local muito acolhedor que toda a gente interessada em comida portuguesa na versão vegan deveria experimentar.

Pros: Service , Food , Location

Cons: Limited options ( more PT tradicional deserts)

One of the best vegan restaurants I’ve ever been to

I came with 5 of my friends (I was the only vegan) and everyone gave it 5 stars. The service was lovely: they gave small complimentary desserts for those who didn’t get any, they were patient with us, and gave us a lovely large wooden circle table.
The interior is also very well decorated

Pros: Seitan steak, Nutella cake, Service

Epic mustard flavored seitan

Nice place and location. All vegan menu, good beer. I tried the seitan steak with mustard flavored sauce and it blows my mind, one of the best seitan plates i ever tried, it also come with fries, some rice and salad. The price was normal.

Pros: Nice place and attention, Incredible seitan steak, Not overpriced

Cons: Does any restaurant has A/C on lisbon???

Unexpected fantastic experience

I had no idea what to expect reading the description of this place. Peter and I ended up here spontaneously walking through Lisbon. We were surprised by the high quality of the food and the creativity of the dishes. Also we had an amazing experience with the service. I highly recommend this restaurant if you visit Lisbon for everyone but especially when you’re vegan.

Wat een super lekkere maaltijden en drankjes hebben ze hier. Weer geen foto’s om te showen, dus browse zelf ff door de app. Niks ziet er verkeerd uit. Het smaakt vele malen beter dan de foto’s. 😎😇

Pros: Supersmaakvol eten en drinken, Leuke ambiance, Gezellig personeel

Cons: Dat we te weinig tijd hadden om langer te blijven

Delicious but not filling

Delicious vegan restaurant, we got the octopus which was very good but the portion is very small for the price, we were still hungry after. So I would recommend ordering a side of rice at least because one main course is not enough.

Pros: Quality ingredients, Nice service and atmosphere

Cons: Small portions, Price per value
