Amazing vegan neighboring restaurant

In my opinion the best vegan restaurant in Portugal (from the ones I have visited so far) and only hundreds meters from my place. No wonder that in all festivities we dine there. The food is fantastic Daniela amazing chef and Ruben the best host in town. The menu changes often but the Francesinha and the cheese table are a must! Worth eve

Pros: Large portions, Good price, Fresh and tasty vegan food

Cons: They should open more often 😆

Vegane regionale Küche

Die Idee, regionale Gerichte zu veganisieren finde ich klasse. Die Portionen waren üppig. Nach 3 Gängen hätte ich rausrollen können. Die Bedienung war auch super.

Meine Erwartungen an das Essen waren aufgrund der Bewertungen extrem hoch. Das Essen war gut, es mangelte für mich nur an Kleinigkeiten. Als Vorspeise hatte ich Fish from the garden (grüne Bohnen im Teigmantel frittiert mit Majo). Interessante Idee. Fischig war das Ganze nicht, aber das ist ok. Leider waren sowohl die Bohnen als auch die Majo kaum gewürzt, etwas Salz in der Majo hätte das Ganze für mich perfekt gemacht. Als Hauptgericht hatte ich Francesinha - quasi Toast mit Tofu, Seitan und veganem Käse in würziger Tomstensoße. Das war sehr gut und mal was anderes. Das vegane Spiegelei darauf ist ein nettes optisches Plus - geschmacklich hätte ich es nicht gebraucht. Das Beerenmouse zum Dessert war ok.

Wenn ich meine überhöhten Erwartungen ausblenden, kann ich guten Gewissens 5 Sterne vergeben.

Just amazing vegan food 😍

lovely little place (i would definitely recommend booking!) with a great traditional menu and wonderful friendly service. We had the octopus salad which wasn’t my taste but my partner loved, really salty seafood taste. for mains, i had the fried fish with tomato rice and my partner had the fish stew. Both incredible and hearty meals, full of flavour and really warming and tasty. we shared the fig mousse pudding for dessert which was very sweet but light. Really amazing restaurant!

Pros: Extensive vegan menu, lots of drinks too , great service

Nice spot

Friendly service, was a really happy and chill atmosphere. The vegan egg was really good. The tofu dish was nice. But overall it was too rich for my palate. My body didn’t react well with the richness. But that’s just a personal thing. The taste was a good combinations of flavours, not sure what the name was of the dish it was a tofu, seitan, cheese and bread with tomato sauce dish. But it was good. Just a bit too rich for me. I could only do a few bites. The appetiser was good. The dishes are a large size, for me. So was hard to eat everything. So I had bits from each thing. If you’re into rich food, go here. If you want a friendly atmosphere, go here. The little shot at the end was nice. Was also nice to be celebrated a little bit on my engagement. Was a happy little place.

Pros: Friendly , Many choices , Tasty vegan egg

you had a vegan "francezinha", in Portugal originally this dish is a sandwich full of different kind of meat, with cheese and beer sauce & an egg on the top and the goal is to make you so full that you don't need to eat anything more for hours. So yes, it's a very rich :)

@karooszmit yeah, there’s a lot of that type of thing where I am was born. Was just a bit much for me. Not my type of thing. Never has been. But I always like to try.

Absolutely amazing place with a truly mind blowing menu.

This is one of the best places I ate at in my entire life. The beautiful and extensive menu holds a good selection of vegan and gluten free dishes that can be also made low FODMAP friendly. The owner is absolutely amazing, patient, knowledgeable and understanding. I was offered in my dish a choice of mushrooms that are low FODMAP only. That tells me that everything is cooked fresh and from scratch.
Vegan and gluten free option of local fish stew is to die for, and so is their egg! Starters which were fried beans aka vegan fish and mushrooms for me were simple yet very tasty. Mains were amazing. I can’t get over the beautiful melange of tofu, nori, sauce and potatoes! Chef’s special for the dessert was chocolate tart which was yum. This is a must eat place for any vegan and gluten free person visiting the town!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Lots of gluten free options , Dishes can be cooked lowfoodmap

Cons: None

Un gran descubrimiento!

Si vives o vas a Faro (Portugal), tienes que visitar Outro Lado. Un restaurante de comida tradicional portuguesa, completamente vegana. Pequeñito y acogedor, atendido por sus propios dueños, que son encantadores!
Pedimos de entrante las “Bolinhas de alheira recheadas”. De principal una “Fransesinha” y un “Pernil de seitan”. El chico se equivocó y nos trajo dos fransesinhas, pero lo perdonamos porque estaban buenísimas!
De postre pedimos el Banofee.
Todo espectacular!!!

Pros: Platos tradicionales portugueses bien conseguidos, Local impecable y acogedor , La atención del personal, son encantadores

Cons: Está un poco escondido, nos costó encontrarlo

Absolutely incredible food

Superb food, excellent quality, inventive twists on classic Portuguese dishes. I haven't yet tried the "fish" stew so that's next. The burgers look amazing too. I found this place on happy cow, read the reviews then booked a place to stay in the hostel practically next door just so I could take advantage of this place and I wasn't disappointed. I'm staying in Faro for a few more days so I'm definitely going to eat here again.

Pros: Excellent food, Friendly and attentive staff, Beautiful, peaceful atmosphere

Experiencia Comfort Food

Disfrutamos de una experiencia gastronómica muy innovadora y absolutamente deliciosa.
Daniella y Rubén han creado un espacio muy relajante y auténtico donde recrean a la perfección texturas y sabores de la comida tradicional portuguesa pero libre de sufrimiento animal.

Empezamos con unos entrantes muy sabrosos y logrados: Boulinhas de Alheira que son unas bolitas de pan, chorizo y queso vegano a ompañaso de veganesa al ajo y también tomamos una cazuelita de Cogumelos al Bulhao Pato que vienen a ser una adaptación vegana de las almejas en salsa verde pero elaborados con setas Portobello.

Para los platos principales elegimos (tremendo acierto) Caldeirada: Daniella ha veganizaso a la perfección la receta tradicional de su abuela de el popular guiso de pescado y marisco que se sirve en cazuela. Está elaborado con tofu y algas, batata, salsa, setas, vino blanco...un sabor increíble (podría comerlo todos los días de mi vida sin cansarme) y además es libre de gluten. Un auténtico plato Comfort Food que calienta el cuerpo y aviva el espíritu...

También elegimos la Franceshina: de la misma manera y con el mismo acierto Daniella ha reproducido este tradicional plato portugués: una explosión de sabores. Lonchas de tofu y seitan en pan portugués bañado con salsa Franceshina a la cerveza y vino blanco, queso y huevo vegano. Plato contundente y delicioso para los que disfrutan del buen comer.

De postre elegimos las tradicionales tartas de nata portuguesas (si no dicen que es vegano nadie notaría la diferencia) y un postre de frutos rojos muy bueno también.

En definitiva, un lugar imprescindible. Sin duda uno de las tres mejores experiencias gastronómicas 100% plant based en los últimos 20 años

Pros: Experiencia gastronómica innovadora, Ambiente auténtico y relajado, Excelente atención y profesionalidad

Cons: Nada
