Not worth it

The menu isn't clear about what is or isn't vegan in some places (for example, the carbonara has dairy free bechamel but the pasta itself has egg in it). The server wasn't very knowledgeable about the menu. I got the steak, which was delicious but should be labelled instead "coconut curry tofu on a bed of greens" because it wasn't really steak-like in any way. The pumpkin it came with wasn't cooked through enough either. It was one of the most expensive meals I had in Faro and I left hungry. Do not recommend.

There are vegan options

I only went there because there were not many vegan options available nearby Sunday afternoon. I ordered vegan kebab, portion was tiny, the vegetables and tofu were not chargrilled, and on the raw side, it's saved by the delicious sauce. Cheese cake was flat and tasted disgusting. I was never so hungry after a €22 meal.

Like it but Can find better

A good restaurant (gluten-free), a fairly elaborate cuisine, many vegan choices (but we do not necessarily understand what is or is not vegan on the menu), a little waiting but the service is cordial. The prices are a little high...

Pros: Food , Team

Cons: Price, Long waiting

Könnte besser sein

Service sehr langsam und unaufmerksam. Das Essen war kalt und schmeckte uns leider nicht. Der Kebab schmeckte nach asiatischem Curry und bestand lediglich aus unmariniertem Tofu und wenigen Pilzen und Paprika auf zwei Spießen. Das Essen ist zudem recht teuer und entspricht nicht der Qualität der Gerichte.

Pros: Schöne Atmosphäre , Lage

Cons: Teuer, Essen schmeckte uns nicht , Service unaufmerksam und langsam

Idea and menu is good but not worth the price

We ordered tacos and basically got two cold tortillas and a bowl of bean-chili and plain salad with a drizzle of balsamico on the side.

It was very pricey.. 15€ / person

It wasnt baaad but I really thought the pricetag would give us a more authentic taco experience. You could easily make it better at home.

Staff was friendly tho!🥰

Pros: Location, Menu, Staff

Cons: Price, Taste, Price

Excellent tofu kebab

Small narrow cafe with many vegan options including pasta, pizza and tofu kebab and dessert. The carrot cake was delish even though it doesn’t look good. Don’t come here if you’re in a hurry. Food takes awhile to prepare.

Avoid

Vegan options not clearly marked on the menu.

Service was poor. Our two mains were delivered 15 minutes apart, the second was undercooked. No apology.

Lovely freshly cooked food, and friendly staff

Does sell meat, but has a good range of vegan dishes and everything us glued free. We had a vegan burger and vegan kebab and then tiramisu.
Really friendly staff, food takes a while as it’s all freshly cooked, but was really yummy. Lots of vegan dishes in the menu. Everything is gluten free, but they do put eggs into some of the cakes and dough. Food was tasty and fresh.

Pros: Good range of vegan dishes , Friendly staff , Everything is very freshly cooked

The homemade hamburger was amazing and the owner was very gracious. She also served lentil based bread. That was delicious. My husband had the soup and thought it was very good.  #Veganuary

Delicious food

The food was really good, we had the tofu, vegan ravioli and the pizza in vegan and for dessert the cheesecake, which was the best part. So food was super delicious and it’s a nice location. We just had to wait for a looong time, that was a bit annoying.

Mostly vegan/ vegetarian menu - Gluten free

We visited this place 3 times during our stay in Faro. Everything that we have ordered tasted really good and was freshly made.
We tried the daily soup - which is made of mixed vegetables, the vegan Pizza with pesto - which had fresh salad on top and had a very good vegan cheese,
Risotto and vegan kebab - those were also really good but take some more time to prepare.
The staff is very friendly and explains everything on the menu.
And of course they have several vegan desserts too, which you shouldn't missout if you go there - especially the vegan banoffee pie is very recommendable.

Gluten-free and lactosefree

A nice place with cool options, big portions and special service. A bit slow, but they’re preparing the food fresh so I understand. I’m happy with the options and the taste. The prices are normal.

Vegan kebab

Had dinner at True food tonight. Menu offers many vegan options. I had the vegan kebab. Staff was a bit chaotic and forgot things like cutlery and giving back change. Food was ok, I liked the kebab but the fries were ‘swimming’ in the oil of the sauce of the kebab.

Pros: Many vegan options , Nice scenery

Cons: Chaotic staff , Oily food

nice scenery, slow service

painfully slow and forgetful service. my main course (which took 20 minutes) arrived before the starter (bread) and 15 minutes before my partners meal arrived. slow staff that seem to forget you’re there, and other tables “wished us luck” with our order which should have been a warning sign. seemed like every table had slow service and had been forgotten about.

Pros: lots of vegan options, lots of gluten free options, nice outside seating

Cons: slow & forgetful staff, mis-labelled menu, average food

Really special place - Underrated.

I wasn't initially inspired by the imagery, but we needed a dog-friendly place with sockets to work for the day and decided to give it a go.

Very pleasant surprise, the owner is mega friendly and always keen to help and the food was genuinely amazing. It's not fast food, so don't expect it to arrive within a few minutes, it's all cooked from scratch with fresh ingredients. Everything is Gluten free and it's mostly vegan and veg food.

We were told the vegan burger doesn't come with a bun (yet - he's still hunting for the perfect GF bun), so we went for the Sauteed Tofu and vegan kebab skewers to share between us and we were so pleasantly surprised by how amazing it was. So full of flavour and clearly made with a lot of love!

Recommend this place very highly! Really enjoyable day here!

Pros: Service with a smile, Food made with love, So much flavour

Cons: A little dark inside, Needs better speakers for the music

Tasteless ravioli

Has lots of vegan options. However, the vegan ravioli didn’t taste like anything. Maybe the other options are better.

Nice little place that smells divine!

Extensive choice of vegan and gluten free food, a little bland but extremely interesting options. Soup of the day was good but and for me personally a little bland. Raviolis are really interesting and hold a nice combination of flavours, bread is yummy and so are their starter dipping sauces, great gluten free beer and nice ice tea. Pizza is also an interesting choice, served on a home made dough. Highly recommend!

Pros: Great choice of gluten free food, Great choice of vegan food, Gluten free beer

Cons: A little bland
