Amazing and healthy food in wonderful atmosphere

The restaurant is tastefully decorated with nice wallpaper and many plants hanging from the ceiling - it perfectly suits the name of the restaurant. The food is great - you should try the tofu bruschetta starter and not leave without having some cakes. Staff could be a bit more friendly.

Dish presentation is perfect.

Beautiful place. Desserts were very delicious.
But it was full so we needed to wait a bit for free table.

Average food, small portions, nice service

Had 3 mains, neither was very good. 2of3 were about half a size I'd expect for a main.

Stout beer exploded with gas like I've never seen. Was funny though😄Sangria average

As a long time vegan, I'm afraid these kind of places make a bad rep for veganism. But anyway, wishing them well and wont b back

Service was nice n friendly
Dish presentation very good

Great food, slow service

I had the french toast and an açaí bowl. French toast was delicious and açaí bowl was pretty good. Really cute place, just don’t go here if you’re in an sort of rush.

Pros: all vegan, reasonable prices

Cons: very slow service

Creative food

Absolutely love this place. Very calm and open environment inside combined with lots of plants and nice colours. SO many fun options to try, really hard to choose what to order when there are so many new cool things to choose from. Food was served to a high quality.

The best in Lisbon

I've been there around 10 times - with the previous chef and with the current one.
They have an amazing space and decoration, really good food (from appetizers to brunch options and main courses) and overall environment.
The staff is OK - you may get ones friendlier than others, but none of them are rude or unhelpful.
The price is in par with what you get. It's not a cheap option, but not an overly expensive one either.

The desserts should also really be mentioned, as they are some of the best I've ever tasted.

Pros: Amazing food & desserts, Space & environment, Outdoor tables option

Cons: It may get a bit noisy at times

Vegan haute cuisine

Nice atmospheric restaurant with, in my opinion, very tasty and flavorful dishes you normally are served in fancy restaurants. The staff made me feel very welcome and although I was alone, seating was no problem and I could take my time having my dinner. Very reasonably priced and would definitely recommend visiting!

One of the Best !

I’ve waited so long to go to this place, finally had a pleasure to eat here and I must tell that really overcome my expectations. Great clean & fresh environment and really great quality-price !! Today’s menu for me:
🥟Vegan Gyosas (I’m getting addicted!)
🥙”Timbale”, one of the signature main dishes — sweet potato purée, cabbage, tempeh “Bacon”, roasted Mushrooms and bread crumble (olive oil and basil taste).
🍰Red Fruit Semifreddo — SCREAMS AND 5 ⭐️ to this one !

Pros: Amazing Menu, Many options - food & drink , Great quality—price

A great addition to the city

Ao26 one of our favourite restaurants so we were excited to try this. We were not disappointed. It looks lovely from the outside and the decor is great.

When we went through the menu we were bowled over by the range of options. It was genuinely difficult to come to a decision. In the end it didn't seem to matter as every single dish was delicious. Flavours were well balanced and ingredients complemented each other.

Service was great and all of our questions were answered in detail.

Portion size was so generous.

Pros: All of the food was really great

Cons: None

Favorite vegan restaurant

I wish this place was back home. We ended up going three times when in Lisbon. I saw other reviews saying the service was slow, but we only experienced that once. And to be honest, the quality of the food more than made up for it. While we love breakfast foods, we found those actually to be what we enjoyed least. The cheese fondue was expensive (€15) but was delicious. The desserts are not to be missed here.

Pros: Awesome vibe, Delicious deserts, Not your average dishes

Dog unfriendly

I would have expected in the meanwhile at least vegan restaurants in Portugal would be dog friendly. But the rude employee tried to convince me that it is the law (law has been changed 1st of may 2018...) i would have had a better impression if staff would not have been rude to me...

Pros: Copal cheese

Cons: Rude staff

The is also raw there

J’ai fait du take away chez eux. Accueil très gentil et serviable. J’ai pris des ravioli crus (excellent) ainsi qu’un cake cru à la noix de coco qui a été apprécié par toute la famille. On y trouve aussi des fromages de noix (vegan et/ou crus). Paradise for raw vegan also.

Amazing interior and inspiring menu

Super lovely staff and amazing menu. Really nice cakes but cappuccino was a bit more like a hot chocolate than a coffee. Loved the cheesecake and bruschetta

Pros: Cakes, Staff, Ambience

Cons: Coffee not amazing

Leuk, sfeervol restaurant.

Mooie kaart, zoveel lekkers, lastig kiezen.
Gekozen voor de huisgemaakte tagliatelle met champignonsaus en truffelolie... Heerlijk.
Toetje: chocolademousse met passievrucht. Super! 😍

Gourmet-like restaurant

Welcoming place with a lot of place. I had the scambled tofu bruschetta (the mushroom bruschetta is more common) and the tagliatelles and both were really excellent. The only negative thing to say is that portions are not generous. Food is fresh.
Cake was good too but I really prefered the salty food.
Staff was really friendly.

Not the best

The waffles were great but the burger was bland and no bun just placed on a square piece of bread with some root veg crisps on the side, the flavour and texture combinations could have been more inspired, one of the male waiters was also quite abrupt bordering on rude

Pros: Waffles

Cons: Uninspiring and not great service
