Delicious food

I went there twice and also ordered to take away, it was delicious every time.

They change their menu very often so there is always new things to discover, but one thing I noticed is that the eggplants are perfectly cooked all the time.
The beverages are also great, from local brewed beer to homemade cocktails.

I advise you to book ahead if you plan to go there. The current (april 2021) sitting outside is on the steps next to the restaurant, but if you are more than two or/and can't sit on the steps, they can also install regular tables.

Tasty food, nice atmosphere

Went by for dinner and we left happy. We ordered a couple different things to share and everything was flavorful and nicely presented, the prices were reasonable, and the staff were really nice. The restaurant carries beers from a local brewery (DeBru) which was lovely. Highly recommend the donuts for dessert, they were fantastic. The atmosphere as well was cute and personal.
(The set up is that you sit on steps with a little table between you so it's not accessibility friendly, heads up for anyone who may have a disability)

Amazing

The venue is super sharming, service is super nice and the food is amazing. The sweet potato pancake is insane and the chocolate cake is out of this world. One of the best vegan restaurants I’ve been at... and I‘ve been to many. Highly recommended!

Pros: Food, Service , Venue

Lovely place

We‘ve had literally everything here: lovely service, lovely location, every tapa for itself - just lovely, especially the beetroot soup. I was really impressed by the professionality of the kitchen - they know what they do if though you don’t expect more than some „hipster dishes“ at first sight. We‘ll come back!

DIVINAL!!

Restaurante com tapas que vão variando ao longo das estações do ano. Preço acessível.
Vibe incrível...
A comida nem se fala. A começar logo pela sopa de lentilhas que foi a melhor sopa de sempre!!
Vale mesmo a pena!

Pros: Preço , Qualidade

loved it!

Great restaurant in the heart of the city. They serve tapa style dishes, all very tasty in my opinion. Is the kind of place that serves kombucha, which i love!

Delicious food, nice atmosphere

Food was great, staff was very friendly. All around the atmosphere was nice. However the place is quite small and the menu varies everyday - which can be cool if you're into surprises, but also limits your choices.

Amazing place

We called in for dinner this evening and it was excellent. They have a small menu which changes every day. Today they had chestnut soup, three tapas dishes: 1. risotto type dish, 2. aubergine with roasted vegetables and quinoa with vegan feta, 3. Vegan salmon. The main dish was pumpkin & bean chilli. They also had two deserts, chocolate chip cookie cake & peanut butter and kiwi mousse. We got everything between two and shared it all. Everything was top drawer. Really great place, I can’t recommend it enough.

Place rocks

Top 5 vegan places in Lisbon, will make you ask for more. Menu changes daily, you can call from 17h onwards to know what's on the menu. From the soup to the dessert, it's a crazy ride. Staff is welcoming and friendly. Food is served quite fast.

Pros: Price range, Variety , Central location

Really cute

Had cute tapas, was very popular, will probably need a reservation or to show up right when they open! I liked the options they had but wasn’t BLOWN away. It was fun and yummy to munch on:) and is one of the oldest vegan places in Portugal !

Creative but pricy

They have a three course menu that changes every day. It was really creative and delicious, but - in contrast to what they told us - not enough for two if you are hungry! We had pear and blue cheese soup, three tapas (hummus foccacia, grilled eggplant with jam and feta - yummie!, roasted broccoli with radicchio and pesto) and mushroom ragout with potato puree (which was too expensive in our opinion).

Out of the box vegan

They have different dishes everyday. I think I had some of my best and worse meals there. The staff is usually friendly and I like the ambience (the place is quite small and has some outdoor sitting in the summer)

Pros: Different dishes everyday, Usually good food quality, Good service

Cons: Bit expensive, Sometimes disapointed with food (altought rarely)

Vibrazioni Vegan nel quartiere della Mouraria

Fantastico trattoria vegana che offre una cucina semplice tutta da condividere. Pane con olive squisite, tre piatti in stile "tapas" e una paella vegana, 2 bicchieri di vino portoghese e dolce per una quarantina di euro.

Pros: Super Location in un quartiere pieno di storia, Sì può mangiare e bere sulla scalinata esterna, Vino verde da provare ma anche succhi...

Cons: Interno un po' caotico se non andate presto

Perfect meal

We really loved that restaurant. It a different meal and tappas everyday. We took everthing and shared it (suggestion by the waitress) and this was the best decision we could have made. But this place is more than just the food (which is awesome). It's more like a little oasis with so many lovely people around! We will come back!

Pros: Super good food, lovely people

Cons: Really nothing

Outstanding

We loved the food so returned again for dinner. For dinner there are a soup, tapas and a day's main course to share as well as individual portions of dessert. Lovely sitting outside on the steps. Very busy so best to book, some individual tables are pushed together so be prepared to sit close to other people.

Great food!

Super awesome food and a cool environment. Rotating vegan menu. The staff were very nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our meal; we shared one soup, one of each tapas item, and one main course. It was all delicious and left us very full!

I am hopeful that we are able to sit outside when we return, though I am under the impression that you should book in advance if you’d like more seating options considering they got really busy really fast!
