Bland food, slow service and seated in a dark corner

I hate to leave bad reviews for fully vegan restaurants but unfortunately I can’t recommend green affair.

We arrived for an early dinner and asked if we had a reservation, we said no and after looking around the empty restaurant the server seated us in a dark corner with a broken light, next to the kitchen, clearly the worst table in the place. We assumed this meant they were soon to be full and we had the only table left.

The food sounded fresh and nice to have some healthier vegan options after holiday indulgence, but the food was pretty bland. I had the winter bowl, with tofu, roasted sweet potato spinach and rice, none of the food was seasoned and there was no sauce to give flavour either. Vegan food doesn’t have to be plain and tasteless!

By the time we had eaten the restaurant had seated many more walk ins at much nicer tables, leaving us feeling like we made a massive mistake thinking going earlier without a reservation was the best plan. The restaurant still wasn’t full when we left.

We had to ask twice for our bill and saw a few other tables have to ask to have their orders taken.

Pros: Fully vegan

Cons: Bland food

Elegant decor and tasty cuisine

Stunning and elegant decor, and delicious, carefully executed cuisine. They've got many traditional meals as well as gluten-free options. I enjoyed everything, especially the risotto which is probably the best one I've eaten. Staff was courteous and helpful and my experience in this restaurant was very pleasant!

Pros: Veganized traditional cuisine, Excellent execution and flavors, Nice staff and location

Delicious!

Me and my husband stopped here for dinner and loved everything. Had a great variety of options. Service was good and they spoke English well. My husbands curry was the best thing we had. Super flavorful and different.

The chef even came out to apologize for the delay but we thought everything came out quickly and fresh. Make sure to save room for dessert. The chocolate cake was to die for!!

Pros: Lots of options , Great location , Fresh and delicious

Cons: None

Nice but not one of the best

We had the soup and the seitan steak, the steak was not really a steak more a meatloaf, it was to soft. The interior design was a bit to much, felt a bit like sittlng in a west wing shop

Amazing food!

And beautiful restaurant. Staff were so friendly and could speak English which is a big plus when you speak no Portuguese! Had the lunch menu which was incredible value, expected small portions but very generous. Highly recommend this lovely place.

Pros: Great decor, Friendly staff

Cons: None

Super

Wir hatten das Seitan Steak (etwas zu weich), Boneless Lagareiro (genial) und Cauliflower Wings (genial) und dazu ein paar der Mango Highlander Cocktails. Empfehlenswert

Pros: Vegan only, Gute Preise, Sauber

Great but..

I tried their Boneless Lagareiro, which was really tasty and super super filling. I’d definitely recommend the dish. However, I was really disappointed in the cleanliness of the space. I went for opening so you’d expect that it’s spotless, however, the space where I was sat was covered in bread crumbs. I mean, my coat just kept picking up more and more breadcrumbs from the floor. The toilet was also a bit dirty and overall scruffy looking, so it really took away from the charm of the place

Lots of options

Great menu with a variation of meals. Liked the atmosphere and the interior. Had the cauliflower wings as starter and a traditional Portuguese main. Both were delicious. Only con the food came to fast. The wings were not even finished and the main dish already came.

My healthiest meal in Lisbon

Winter bowl and a golden latte were my lunch choices, and that’s exactly what I needed. Fresh and healthy. Also, I really like the ambiance and friendly staff.

Great place!

Went there for dessert only, but when checking the menu I couldn’t resist ordering starters as well. Spinach croquettes and especially chocolate cake were great!

Pros: Lots of vegan options

0% taste but looks nice

Just like many other reviews here, the food is nicely presented and *looks* amazing, but it tastes absolutely nothing.

We ordered mocktails of the day, cauliflower wings, roasted veggies, seitan steak and boneless lagareiro. All of it has absolutely no taste (yes even the drinks).

Also, the boneless lagareiro was absolutely nothing even remotely similar to the original fish dish (bacalhau a lagareiro) so I don’t know why they would call it that.

Stay far away from the seitan steak, it’s the worst I ever saw.

I would not come here again.

I would like to give it 1* since not a single part of our meal was even remotely good, but that’s not possible.

Good food and really nice atmosphere

The food was really good. The cauliflower wings and vegetable gyosas were my favorites. The seitan steak was a first for me.

No flavor, horrible dessert

I ordered the Seitan Stake, a side salad and a pumpkin cheesecake dessert. Before the dessert I was going to rate this a 3/5 because of the lack of flavor in the seitan, but the dessert was so bad it brought the score down. Bad flavor and bad texture.

Wholesome Veggie Food

Such a great chain with delicious options. We went to two different locations during our trip and both were lovely. Food tastes wholesome and not overly seasoned.
Great for a nice lunch or a relaxed dinner.

Okay. Food looked really good but tasted quite bland.

We visited this restaurant because of the good reviews and the way the food looked on the pictures. Sadly, it was a bit disappointing. We ordered the seitan stake and the quinoa salad, but both tasted quite bland. We liked the ambience though, and the waiters were friendly.

Nice place for lunch

I think its a must try, fun food, the starters menu is very good. Manu itself is a bit too unique, people who are not vegan i think would not enjoy it that much.

Pros: Fancy , Nice staff

Cons: Location

Nice looking but lacking in taste

We went for dinner and tried the BBQ burger with fries and the seitan steak. The fries weren't really warm when they were served. Also all the food tasted a little bit boring. It was really nice looking but in the end disappointing. :(

Gutes Essen und schönes Lokal

Das Restaurant ist sehr schön und auch gut besucht. Es empfiehlt sich, einen Tisch zu reservieren, ansonsten muss man Glück haben. Der Service war sehr gut und freundlich. Die Karte bietet eine vielseitige Auswahl an Speisen. Das Essen war sehr lecker und preislich auch fair. Ein gutes Restaurant!
