Fantastic meal on my first night in Lisbon

The chefs are creative, whipping up some of the best vegan food I've had anywhere. Plus, a fabulous espresso martini, and did I mention the CHEESECAKE?! Top-notch everything.

Pros: Great variety of dishes, Cozy atmosphere , Fresh, inventive flavors

Didn’t match the hype

I picked this place for a dinner with non vegan friends because of the outstanding reviews. However, they didn’t finish their dishes so it wasn’t the eye-opening experience to vegan food I’d hoped to show them.

Some additional things that could be improved: my bibimbap was good but not great, the service took forever to ask us for drinks & was quite terse (and we did have a reservation).

Cons: Service , Some dishes are not great

We appreciate your honest feedback. Your comments on the bibimbap and service delay are noted, as we strive for consistency in both food quality and service, and we apologize for falling short. Rest assured, we don't push for hype; we aim for genuine satisfaction. Your feedback will be shared with our team for improvement.
While we regret that your experience didn't wow you or your friends as anticipated, we have regularly received reviews from others that express the opposite sentiment, noting that it really impressed their non-vegan friends and family in a way that they were never able to before. One of our aims is to invite people from all diets to explore and introduce them to the potential of plants and fermentation. We hope for the chance to welcome you and your friends back for a better experience!

Delicious fine food

Food was perfect. Delicate, tasty, imaginative. It's rare that i enjoy a meal in a restaurant that much. Had the falafel with hummus (with much more to it!) and a banoffee for dessert. Even the lemon and mint spritzer was amazing. Definitly will go back and try another dish.

Pros: Delicate and tasty, Not so expensive regarding the quality, Lot of different dishes

Good Bibimbap

Loved the bibimbap, it was really flavorful, and defintely something different from the "normal" korean one. But for me, 4 pieces of tofu, just isnt enough, there needs to be more protein.
Wish I could have tried more.
The lemonade was delicious though with a lot of ice in it.

Amazing food

This is probably one of the best vegan restaurants I’ve been to. The food is flavorful, colourful, delicious and innovative. And they had the best tofu I’ve ever had in my life. They make it themselves. And the kimchi was awesome. Would love to go back and try the other things on the menu.
The place is cozy, offers outdoor sitting, friendly staff. Go try it out!

Pros: The tofu! And the scallops, Fully vegan and delicious

Bookmarked to come back

A simple and pleasant place, with extra friendly and accommodating staff. Good thing we reserved as the restaurant got full very quickly.
The food had a surprising palette of tastes that matched perfectly together. The cold tea (eucalyptus, lavender and orange) is also a great example of that.

Unique and beautiful dishes

Visited for a date night and it was a cute little place for sure with lots of charm. The “scallop” mushroom appetizer was to die for and the highlight of our meal. Wine was delicious and all of the food was beautifully plated and very visually appealing.

I wasn’t particularly fond of the Tofu Katsu, but it was interesting to try for sure! The bibimbap was very tasty!

Great Food, very well seasoned

The food was great. Very well seasoned (quite salty and spicy, but not too much).
The staff was friendly and quick. A bit more on the fancy experimental side, than traditional, I liked it 😄#Veganuary

The reviews speak for themselves

I rarely see a place getting such positive reviews, so I had to give this restaurant a try. I had the king oyster scallops and the katsu curry and both were outstanding. The amount of flavour packed in these dishes was amazing. Moreover the presentation was totally on point as well. Simply superb.

Delicious gado gado

We had the cauliflower starter, gado gado, and tofu katsu. Everything was super delicious, but the gado gado was the highlight! House-made kombucha was also very good. Service was slow, took almost 2 hours to get the mains, but it was worth the wait and we got a free drink. Make a reservation - the place was packed.

Fine dining experience

It was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed every bite and it was a revelation of flavours. The cauliflower was cooked to perfection, and remained velvety and not mushy despite being fried. The hint of spice silently accompanied everything while remaining balanced.
Gado gado was the star of the dinner. I will also try to carry over the idea of the Azores pineapple into the things I prepare.

As for the location, the place is cosy and elegant. The playlist sounds like something out of my Spotify so I loved it. Perfect venue for those who like to dine alone like me because it's open kitchen you are also entitled to entertainment.

Made my first night in Lisbon delicious!!!

My first time here and this place is going In my top 3 favs. I’ve been to a lot of high-end extremely expensive places. This place is very modesty priced-I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and tasting, a gourmet dish for a third of what I’d pay in major US cities.
I had the Tofu Kafka- see the description on their menu- the marinade and the reduction sauce made it so flavorful and well balanced. Everyone working there seemed to be enjoying their work which is nice to see.

Pros: Flavor , Varied choices , Presentation

Cons: None
