Best Fine Plant Based Dinning Experience! - Edit
Roots is a game-changer for plant-based fine dining, and I feel grateful to have experienced it. If you're a foodie or just looking for an unforgettable meal, Roots is an absolute must-visit in Porto. 10/10 would recommend!" 5/5 stars
Read moreThis plant-based fine dining restaurant truly deserves all the accolades. Each dish was a masterclass in flavor, texture, and presentation. The taste was genuinely out of this world - I've never experienced anything quite like it.
The service was impeccable, attentive, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was elegant and intimate, making it the perfect spot for special occasions.

High end vegan cuisine - Edit
Loved this restaurant and their concept. The food is superb, mostly based on vegetables and their flavors, but you won't miss anything. The profile and ingredient combination seems simple but it's very well thought through. Most of their preparations are homemade like the seitan or tapenade.
Read moreOnly downside to me were the desserts, which were not really appealing to me, but everything else, we loved!
Pros: Beautiful place, Delicious food
Cons: Could improve the dessert selection

Up to snuff - Edit
Expectations were very high for the most recommended restaurant in Porto. Happy to say it delivered!
Read moreFlavorful dishes that portrayed the potential of plant based cooking and put vegetables and mushrooms in the spotlight.
I loved their homemade truffle vegan butter, as well as the mega flavourful Mushrooms & Gravy dish with grilled greens. Service was very friendly and the restaurant had a nice, tranquil atmosphere.

Not worth it - Edit
This really isn’t worth the hype, food was terrible, service not great and whole atmosphere rubbish. The corn starter wasn’t even a whole cob! The artichoke dish I couldn’t eat most of it as was the inedible leaves! My partner had the wellington which I tired and was awful. They didn’t ask how the meal was otherwise would have said. Had much very meals in Porto. This is not good vegan food.

Na 25 jaar vegetarisch te eten staat dit op 1. Ongelooflijk lekkere combinaties van smaken met een heel sympathieke bediening. Alleen voor dit restaurant zou in naar Porto willen verhuizen.

Must visit in Porto! - Edit
Cannot recommend Roots highly enough. The food was absolutely incredible and the staff was kind and welcoming. The corn ribs were a delicious appetizer and we ordered the Gnocchi and "scallop" dishes as mains. While the Gnocchi dish was amazing, the scallop dish was one of the best meals I've ever eaten. The flavor of all the vegetables in the dish was outstanding and they somehow managed to make the tofu scallop taste like the real deal. Add this to the top of your Porto list!

Very good and innovative food - Edit
The bread plate for a starter was delicious, the pastel for appetizer was very tasty. For mains we had the gnocchi, which was soft and very well flavored, and the vieiras and okra. The last one was beautifully presented and very tasty as well. The only issue we had was that it was on a bed of very sweet corn puree that tasted like dessert.
Read moreStaff was busy and not super attentive. We stayed until close and they started vacuuming the kitchen while we were still there.

Beautiful and flavorful food! - Edit
Sometimes as a vegan I feel like I’ve missed the experience of dining out and have meals with full flavors; however, these meals were full of flavor and were beautiful! The portions were perfect so I could enjoy an appetizer, main course, and dessert. I went alone but if I was there with others I would definitively get multiple things to share and try.

nice but a bit disappointing - Edit
Brought my 3 non-vegan friends here, but it was a hard sell. Staff were very attentive, but the room was cold and we didn't want to remove coats (it was a rainy night in April). The menu is small - which is fine, but the items we especially wanted to try (starters, mains and dessert) were not available. And one friend, who wasn't drinking and cannot drink acidic juices, was left with just water as the only fruit juice available on the night was orange. The food that we did get was nicely presented, but quite rich - everything seemed to be truffle/mushroom based and it needed something to cut through that. Overall a bit underwhelming. Perhaps they were having supplier issues and another time would be different.
Read morePros: all vegan , attentive staff, nice wine
Cons: limited choices on the menu
