Really tasty but don’t forget to make a reservation

The food was tasty. I took the lettuce tacos and the cauliflower « wings ». I had to eat inside as I didn’t have a reservation but it’s a nice little restaurant. Would recommend :)

Pros: Everything is vegan, A lot of gluten free options, Also nut free options

L.O.V.E. this place

Finaly someone understand, that vegan food is not about mimic something, but it is about creating something new and original. And it was amazing! Reservation in high season is recommended.

Pros: Original, Big portion, Original place

Creative

Creative and well executed, I didn't like the kimchi burger, the texture of the mushroom steak felt like raw chicken it was a bit weird. Everything else was great. I will try other dishes if I can.

Creative and flavorful

I've been in a couple of times now and really enjoyed the experiences. The food was delicious and filling and had lovely presentation. Great drinks available, we had the sangria one of the times and then some local craft beer another. The staff are friendly and the restaurant is cute and cozy. Definitely recommend!

Great food - lovely staff

The food was super varied and delicious. We sat outside and had a fantastic wine. They have gluten free options. Everything is vegan on the menu or can be made vegan. I strongly recommend!

Original & Tasty Homemade recipes

Vegetarian & Vegan options. Very original recipes. Almost everything is homemade, from the kombucha to the ginger beer. Not so many main dishes but what they have is very good. Try the cakes, they are all great!

A cozy atmosphere and really good food. It's tasty and the portions are big too. I went there a few times and was happy every time. The waiters are really nice and they put some work in the cocktails and beverages

Pros: Tasty, Big portions

Cons: Can get a bit expensive

Best veggie in town

Small but varied menu packed with delicious and super well presented dishes for a very reasonable price. So many vegan options. And all desserts are vegan!! The staff are friendly and the space is cozy. Great playlists too! Will definitely be back, time and time again.

Small cozy restaurant

The service is great and the place has a general good vibe. The food is ok but not great. I found the starters and desserts considerably better than the main course. Nonetheless it's an experience that I could easily repeat.

Pros: Good vibe., Great service.

Cons: Not a lot of options.

OGambuzino

Thanks so much for your review armatita. So glad you loved the starters and desserts, and we look forward to your return! Curious to know what you had as a main and what you felt could have been improved? All the best, Monica - O Gambuzino

Ok, but not great

We went there two times. We were not amazed the first time but still decided to give it a second try. We found the tempura chips boring, the soup was too watery (imo) and the burguers didn’t convince us (apart from the bread that we found very good).
We asked whether they had vegan cheese for the burguer (to substitute the goat cheese they use). They didn’t and the waiter told us he doesnt consider vegan cheese to be real cheese (maybe because it lacks suffering, i’m not sure)

OGambuzino

Hi M&A, I really apologise for your experience.
It is a shock for me to hear of one of waiters making a comment like that! I agree that that is clearly unacceptable. We normally encourage our vegan alternative, even for non-vegan customers, and have a focus on adding more and improving our existing vegan dishes/alternatives. Most recently we have created an egg yolk (vegan) that looks and tastes almost like the real thing!!
We also do offer vegan cheese for both the burger and toasties.. made locally by 'Petiscos'. It's possible we had just run out, although that is quite a rare occurrence and regardless it was clearly not communicated well. (Just a note I believe I can tell who made that statement and due to separate reasons, he is already not working with us). As for the chips and soup, I'm not sure what to say, as other customers keep coming back time and time again for both the Sweet Potato Tempura and the soups!
I hope my response gives you back some confidence in us and would interest you in visiting us again soon. All the best - Monica, O Gambuzino

Cute & Progressive

I do a lot of travelling with Happy Cow but rarely write reviews. I felt compelled to do so about this cute Lisbon cafe/restaurant. I found this gem of a restaurant after trying some others in the area that were fairly generic and bland. I ended up eating here more than once during my week in Lisbon. The menu here keeps up with modern food trends (rare to find) while still managing to source all ingredients locally and have close to zero waste.
Sides like the pickled watermelon and the tempura sweet potato add a creative and fun element to the meal.
All the desserts are vegan, the bread pudding and spiced sangria are dangerously delicious.

Pros: Modern Flavours, Local friendly vibe, Zero waste style

OGambuzino

So appreciative of your awesome review, thank you Meme! Hopefully we will see you when you next have a trip to Lisbon. Until then, wishing you all the best. From all of us @ Gambuzino :)

delicious, very generous portious and super nice staff.

Thank you?You're right, we aren't completely vegan and it would be cool if we were but you'll be glad to know there have been some changes in that direction. We try to encourage our vegan alternative, for non-vegan customers. Our desserts have always been vegan, but now more of our mains are vegan by default. Most recently we created an egg yolk and a half boiled egg that's completely vegan but looks and tastes almost like the real thing. Most customers don't even realise and vegan customers try to send it back because they don't believe us!! Hopefully you'll be able to return and try it some day and until then, wishing you all the best

Perfect

You still don't know but you need to try this restaurant! I am a vegan since one year and so far I tried several restaurants I can assure you this is the best. I discovered it three days ago and I have been there already twice. I tried the vegan hamburger the falafel and the vegan snickers bar (as dessert) there is not a thing I would have change in all the 3 different dishes, the mixture of flavours is terrific!....not to mention also that they are impeccably presented! The guys that work there are also super friendly...you should definitely give it a try! You will not regret it.

Please go here when you're in Lisbon!

We went for a girls dinner to O Gambuzino. Monica and Vasco, the owners, treated us so well! Such a cosy place, nice decoration and good music. We had the starters with beetroot creme and carrots and fresh bread. The tempura fried sweet potatoes were incredible. And we shared the Gado Gado, which I highly recommend to veggie-peanut lovers like me😄And the wines? All vegan and from different regions in Portugal. A delicious selection! I'll come back very often for sure!

Pros: Good value, Seasonal Menu, Super friendly

Cons: The chair was not the most comfiest :)

Newly opened, beautiful decor, fun range of upcoming live music events. The owners (the server and the head chef) are absolute gems. Great beer and cider selection. The sweet potato fries are to die for.
