Good Old-Fashioned Hearty Meals - Edit
After another round of Porto city-sightseeing, naturally we were hungry and thirsty and O Oriente no Porto was our restaurant du-jour for some vegan grub. It wasn't the easiest place to find, with our respective GPS signals going haywire as we hiked above the local cell towers; but, alas, we found this "hole-in-the-wall" on a narrow street. The interior (as it is with a number of restaurants we've been to here in Portugal) is nondescript from the outside with a lot more "expansive" interior. They've got a lovely outdoor eating area, as well, and since it was such a beautiful day, we ate alfresco. The owner/chef (??) informed us that they only serve a daily prix-fixe meal, which was fine by us since we were hungry and just went with the flow. There's no alcohol served, so we opted for Cokes. Interestingly, the soup AND dessert arrived first, and since it was a warm afternoon, the creamy frosting on the dessert started to melt before the main arrived. (I started eating mine right away. Lol!) The soup was delicious; dense carrot-like cake dessert was yummy, too. Shortly after the first course came the main, which consisted of an empanada, a side of rice and a side of carrots/cauliflower/peas in a tomato-based sauce. (The owner/chef spoke very little English, so I'm guessing as to ingredients; we just ate it all up because it was all very satisfying. Price for the prix-fixe was excellent, too!) Both the owner/chef and gent manning the upstairs checkout were friendly. If you find yourself in close proximity to O Oriente no Porto, and need some food without breaking-the-bank, check them out...!

Hidden Gem - Edit
Nestled in a charming old neighborhood atop a steep hillside, O Oriente no Porto offers a delightful dining experience. With a fixed daily menu, the food is simply scrumptious. It felt like I was enjoying a cozy lunch with a dear friend. We dined on the small patio with about 5 tables, surrounded by a cozy and pleasant atmosphere. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, making our meal truly memorable. I highly recommend giving them a try!

Affordable Indian restaurant - Edit
I had the lunch deal for 8,50€. A potato soup, some lentil mash potato with vegan cheese and a fried something with beetroot and tea as a drink. The dessert was a mango pudding. It was nothing special but affordable and I'm full.

Perfect Everything - Edit
This is the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular costumer.
Read moreThe food is delicious, super affordable prices, incredible location, and the nicest staff.
They work with a single daily menu option that includes soup, main, dessert, and tea (8,50€). The flavours are home-y, freshly cooked, and truly flavourful.
The space itself is very cozy and has a beautiful sunny balcony.
If there's a vegan business worth supporting in Porto, this is it. I'm hoping to be able to go back every time I visit the city.
Pros: Delicious Food, Fantastic Location, Friendly Staff

Health is wealth - Edit
Sometimes, we need to appreciate that what we eat is essential fuel for our bodies. At €8.50, the set meal provided excellent value, especially with the offer of seconds. While it might not have been the most extraordinary culinary experience, it was brimming with nutrients, making it perfect for those on the move.
Read moreThe combination of soup, a mixed plate , and dessert was a refreshing break after a hectic morning. Moreover, knowing that the restaurant supports a homeless project adds another layer of significance to the dining experience. It’s more than just a meal; it’s a contribution to a worthy cause.
For anyone seeking a healthy and value-packed option while on the go, this place is definitely worth a visit.
Pros: People , Healthy, 100%

hare krishna - Edit
They had a all vegan daily menue with rice, lentils, soup, a tarte, something fried (super tasty!), cake, jelly and tea for just 8€
Read moreI could have used some more salt and spices.
Don't expect a restaurant but a hare Krishna place that also offers a meal on a nice terrace with a lemon tree and a cat watching from next door
They also sell some eco friendly toiletries and vegan food upstairs
The view from the toilet upstairs is amazing :)
Pros: really low price, good 'healthy' food, lemon tree on terrace

Vegan restaurant/shop/yoga - Edit
This isn’t only a restaurant but also a shop and a place where they do yoga.
Read moreMenu is completely vegan but it’s a set menu in a buffet style.
The upside is that you pay a fix price and you can eat as much as you want.
At the table they say that the set menu is 8 eur but I paid 10 eur in the end, despite telling the man that it was 8 eur. I found that a bit dishonest.
You can sit inside and outside as well in the garden.

Food is okay, nothing special - Edit
There only is a menu of the day. You cannot choose anything. The atmosphere is simple and a bit awkward (however the view is nice). There was no explanation about the concept of the restaurant and the menu of the day. The first time someone came to our table was already with the food. The taste was a bit blend. But the good side is the price: €8 for a menu with soup, main, dessert and tea.

Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und es gab das vegane Tagesgericht, mit leckerer Suppe, einer veganer Quiche, Reis und Bohnen. Als Nachtisch gab es ein riesengroßes Stück Schokotorte. Dazu heißer Tee, perfekt gegen den kalten Regen, der draußen herrschte.
