Not good - Edit
This place had great reviews on Yelp, but later I realized all of them were from 7 years ago. Maybe it was good then. I ordered the vegan alheira (portuguese sausage). It was cold and tasted terrible. The staff didn't treat us well and the waitress was confused about whether or not they had wine. Portuguese food is delicious, so don't waste a good dining opportunity here.

Lied about cheese - Edit
The waiter messed up my order two times. When i finally got my dish it had dairy cheese on top. I asked multiple times if it is vegan cheese and the waiter lied to my face and said it was, tho it clearly wasn't.

Bad service, below average food - Edit
Undercooked (raw) eggplant, uninspired dishes and a lone waiter that was having a fight while serving us who didn’t even apologize for the undercooked eggplant. The chef was nursing her child during work. Highly distracted and unorganized staff, resulting in a below average experience. We ate a second dinner elsewhere after. Avoid.

Nice dinner - Edit
They are several vegetarian options, which can all be made vegan according to what the owner/chef/waitress told us. The food was good, not the best though (the vegetables on the bread and the mushrooms were obsviously the same frozen mix).
Read moreI rate 4 stars because the owner was very friendly and even though she was on her own to cook and serve, we didn't wait long.

Muito mau - Edit
Ligámos para saber se conseguiam servir um grupo de 12 pessoas, disseram que sim.
Read moreChegámos, pedimos a comida, começou a chegar ao bocados, bem depois de 40 minutos de espera, por coisas muito simples como tibornas.
A espera foi tão longa que 4 pessoas desistiram e saíram sem comer.
Quando a comida eventualmente chegou, não era nada boa.
Eu pedi uma massa com natas (vegan) e espinafres, estava muito má, com um sabor muito estranho, sem tempero, nem alho. Pedi também umas batatas assadas e pareciam do dia anterior. A espera máxima chegou a 2h e 30min.
Cons: Caro, Comida sem sabor , Longo tempo de espera.

Como en casa - Edit
Los dos días que hemos estado en Coimbra hemos comido aquí. Comida casera en un pequeño local cercano a la Antigua Catedral.
Read moreLos platos se sirven en modo tapas, con productos frescos y de temporada. Hemos probado la ensalada, las berenjenas con queso y tomate al horno, las patatas al horno, la tabla de quesos y las aceitunas. Nos encantaron todos y cada uno de los platos.
No le damos las 5 estrellas ya que Happycow no lo permite al no ser 100% vegano.
El personal súper atento. Les preguntamos qué nos recomendarían y acertaron.
El encanto de este local creemos que se debe a que es sencillo y casero, sin pretensiones y con el objetivo de atender lo mejor posible a quien llega.
Pros: Comida casera, local y de temporada, Trato del personal, Calidad - precio
Cons: No pago con tarjeta extranjera

Genial - Edit
Tienen bastantes opciones veganas. Preguntamos por algún plato que llevara expresamente legumbres (en portugués tanto legumbres como verduras se dice legumes y crea confusión). Solo tenían las migas a la portuguesa que llevan judías. Nos elaboraron uno con garbanzos y verduras muy rico.
Read moreEl champiñón portobelo con verduras y crema de soja muy bueno.
Pros: Flexibilidad y trato

Meh.. - Edit
Is more a restaurant with vegetarian options than vegan ones. The staff is kind and the service is very, very, veeeery slow. We ordered at least three dishes but we have to change them because they didn't have those options anymore. We finally got the Grilled eggplant w tomatoes, wich was absolutely untasteful. Thats it.
Read morePros: kind staff

Great food nice atmosphere - 5 star but can only leave 4 - Edit
After a long day of siteseeing we found this little restaurant in the old part of town from Happy Cow and it was perfect. The food was great with both vegan and non vegan options. Then there was Maria singing in the kitchen cooking the food. Must come.

Simple but good for a non vegan restaurant - Edit
It's a small pub with nice atmosphere. We enjoyed a lot because of the rock music that they chose tonight.
Read moreThey have a vegan and vegetarian side of the menu that includes most of veggies but everything was really nice.
The most elaborated dishes were the vegan sausage, the filled mushroom (good!) and the eggplants with fresh tomato sauce, basilico, besciamella and nuts (the best).
It's a bit pricey for the portions and the kind of cooking. We ordered 4 tapas, 1 potatoes and two porto for 38,30€.
Pros: Good quality and good taste, Nice atmosphere , Cool music
Cons: A bit pricey, Small portions , Small, you could make the line

fabulous vegan options for a non-vegan restaurant - Edit
I had the most pleasant experience at this restaurant. It is a very small but cozy and friendly space. During summer is lovely to be at the tables outside. The chef creates her own dishes and the gratins with soy cream are delicious. They had stuffed mushrooms, stuffed tomatoes, gratin aubergines and the most delicious mushroom "alheiras" (which is traditional portuguese charcuterie dish). It was perfect in texture, smokiness and taste. I actually went there for my birthday and the lady even made a small vegan birthday cake (carrot cake) as a special request from my father as a surprise. It was divine. I highly recommend this place and although it is not a vegan restaurant, It has various delicious options and lovely space. Good for couples or small groups (4pax inside or max.8 pax outside). It is located in the Historical part of Coimbra, just near the old cathedral - it is a beautiful spot but not very accessible if you have mobility issues.
Read morePros: variety of vegan dishes, friendly, quality of meals
Cons: size of restaurant, access
