Awesome Vegan in Arroios! - Edit
On a recent lengthy visit to Lisbon’s azulejos museum, we were ready for some refueling afterwards, and decided to checkout Pequeno Café e Bistrô at their Arroios location. (We have been to their other location a couple of times and loved it.) This one is located at the Arroios Marketplace, in a good location where we were able to get to by public transportation. They’ve got inside seating, inside mall seating, as well as tables alfresco (which we would’ve chosen if a table were available). It’s definitely a “neighborhood/local” kinda place, as everyone spoke the language and seemed to know (or was familiar with) one another. That said, we felt welcomed by the friendly server. (We asked for the English menu.). 😉 We both started (as is our proclivity) with a glass of red wine (very good), and opted for their special, which was a creamy tofu/broccoli dish. The special was excellent and filling! We did a chocolate cookie for dessert which was to-die-for! (So much so that we bought a couple for takeaway!) In sum: Like their counterpart in Príncipe Real, this Pequeno Café is just awesome! 😄

Good vibes, tasty, portion a bit small - Edit
Small vegan place with a nice atmosphere. Friendly customer service. The food was tasty and pretty, but the portion for a main meal was a bit small. I recommend the chocolate cookie.

Go here when visiting Lisbon - Edit
Very good food. I went here for a late lunch on my last day in Lisbon. Ideal spot to close of my citytrip. Very good soup to start and the main was very tasty as well! They only had one of their dishes left (the no duck rice) and it did not dissapoint! Definitely try the kombucha
Read morePros: Very tasty food, Calm atmoshere, The kombucha
Cons: Too full to try their dessert after soup and main

Amazing Food!! - Edit
Pequeno Café e Bistrô - Arroios is simply amazing. One of the top rated restaurants in Lisbon on HappyCow. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by the friendly staff and promptly seated, given menus and explained the daily specials. Very efficient during the busy lunch hour. Upon reviewing the menu, I ordered a local beer and the daily special: Escondidinho de legumes, Beterroba, Salad de Feija Branco. When the food was delivered, I immediately new it was going to be amazing. They say you eat with your eyes and I was soaking this up. The Veggie ‘Escondidinha’ was simply outstanding. Hidden jewels of veggies that included carrots and zucchini topped with a sweet potato mash. The beetroots were smoked which changed the normally earthy flavor of beets to a light, sweet beautiful taste, hard to explain but simply delicious. The white bean salad was one of the best I’ve had. Simply put, I’m coming back soon!

Love the atmosphere - Edit
Really nice staff. They don't have an English menu so they explained it to us. I've never tried kombucha before, so they gave me a little "shot" to try before I ordered a whole jar. We had the breakfast bowl and the eggs benedict. Both were really good and delicious.

Nice coffee and cake - Edit
Went here twice in the end as was nearby to where I was staying. Personally thought it was the best coffee in town, not too strong and was able to have without any sugar. Also the carrot cake with chocolate was not sickly sick and rather delicious! Shame it's not a fully vegan place (reason for 4 stars)
Read morePros: Great coffee, Cake selection

We're so glad you liked it, thank you! The good news is: next time you're in town we'll probably be fully vegan :)

Poor service - Edit
Went on a Tuesday around 11:30am. Sat outside and they didn't bring out a menu. Went in to collect one and went to order the tofu Benedict. Turns out they had sold out but hadn't told us. Tried to order mushrooms on toast but they didn't have mushrooms. The vegan options were already very limited. Poor service not telling us what they had in stock as soon as we got there if they knew they were missing so much.

Charlie, we're so sorry you had a bad experience with us. Hope you can come back soon to try our food again and, hopefully, have a lovely experience this second time.

Lovely, simple and good - Edit
This place is quite small, and simple but really lovely. There is an inside area and an outside area. They offer gluten-free and vegan options and healthy lunch options. I had the dish of the day and a matcha latte with oat milk. They also create their own kombucha and pasteries. The stuff was very nice. I would like to visit that place again.

Read moreGood vegan options including salads, toasts, and more. The food is fresh and vibrant and leaves you feeling full and happy. They also have some great freshly pressed juices.
They have a few seats outside and you can try some craft beer and local wine while enjoying the sun. Top spot.
