Great food - Edit
Often difficult to find vegan food whilst away, the happy cow app is a lifesaver. We found Veggie Mini through the app when we visited Albufeira and it is a gem! Highly recommend the pizza and the Simples wrap!

Very cute place with great food, cooked wholeheartedly by very sympathetic lady! - Edit
We had the Menu of the Day which included a starter dish with salad, chips and some fried vegan meatballs. Then the pie of the day which was a ground meat pie with peas and sausage on top. As a dessert she served a gluten-free raw coconut pie with chocolate on top and a coffee to go with it. Thank you very much!!! Big recommendation to everybody and the owner gives great tips and advice as well!

Wonderful - Edit
Yesterday we visited Veggie Momi; one of the only vegan places (and possibly the only fully vegan restaurant) in Albufeira. We were so glad we did. It was all shades of brilliant! The food, the vibe & the service was wonderful and we were made to feel very welcome and relaxed. The setting is very unpretentious and set back from the main strip, which we loved.
Read moreEverything was delicious, fresh and cooked with care; the particular highlight was the coconut and chocolate cake! Wow!
Monica is a wonderful and inspiring person who deserves much more appreciation & local support.
Pros: Warm welcome, Delicious food, Unpretentious

Vegan Oasis in Albufeira - Edit
Cute, little Vegan restaurant in Albufeira. It was amazing to find amongst all the copy and paste seafood/meat establishments that are everywhere in Albufeira. Beautiful food and a lovely owner. Definitely going back to try everything else.

Crazy owner, good food - Edit
The experience at Veggie Mommie was pretty unique.
Read moreThe owner is a great, crazy woman that has a big heart for her restaurant and animals. I had the dish of the day which could have been a bit larger and the peanut butter cake which was a little bit salty. Overall, the food was good and especially the general experience was unforgettable.
Pros: Great personality, Tasty food , Huge choice
Cons: Some meals pretty expensive

Cute bistro - Edit
We came here because Albufeira isn’t too vegan friendly and didn’t regret it. We had the coxinhas (typical brasilian treat), the chips with guacamole, the raw vegan cake which tasted heavenly and the açai. Definitely worth a visit!

Veggie Momi - Edit
The most authentically vegan experience you will have in all of Portugal. The owner was super friendly and really thought of some creative recipes. My favorite was the lasagna with black eyed peas added for protein, I would have never thought of that and it was such a delicious idea. All the food we had was really wonderful. See my photos attached.

Activist vegan environment full of love and delicious food! - Edit
Sem palavras para descrever o quão contente fiquei ao encontrar este espaço em Albufeira. Não é fácil ser vegano e viajar por Portugal. O Veggiemomi além de ser um espaço acolhedor com um atendimento muito muito muito simpático, querido e dedicado por parte da proprietária (que até partilha receitas), oferece comidas veganas caseiras, saborosíssimas! Além de também disponibilizar para a venda alguns produtos veganos cruelty-free e influenciar o ativismo através das imagens e mensagens expostas. Confesso que as mensagens espalhadas pelo local despertou o ativismo vegano em mim. Achei o menu bastante variado e oferece até sobremesas! Amei a torta de mocha, yummy! Por trás desta linda iniciativa, há um forte objetivo de espalhar a mensagem de amor e da igualdade. Vida longa ao veggiemomi! ♥

Could make (better) at home - Edit
Friendly owner and I love a fully, vegan-owned, female-run shop, but the meal wasn't anything I couldn't make (better) at home. I ordered the rosemary sausages and they were nicely done Lind McCartney sausages with some couscous and bagged salad. No special sauce or anything.

Great location, generous portions - Edit
This street has such a beautiful view as you’re looking downhill onto the bright blue sea and lovely white buildings.
Read moreHe had the beyond burger, I had the open sandwich with tofu, avocado, 2 different cheeses and crisps, it was a very full plate. I was given a bite for my baby (bump) which was very cute and thoughtful, it was delicious and made with soya meat. I took the chocolate cake away to eat later, it was delicious!
We arrived quite late, around 2.30 and it shuts at 3.00 before reopening at 6.30. She was very accommodating as we didn’t leave until 3.40!

Delicious fresh cooked vegan food - Edit
Came Albufeira for a lads holiday May 2019, a little late leaving my review but didn’t have happy cow then. As you can imagine the town wasn’t plentiful of vegan eateries and first two days was beans on toast and jacket potatoes etc, managed to find Veggie Momi and came back every day up to going home! Varied menus depending on time of day you go, she did specials each day and there’s a lovely dog to keep you company. We built rapport as days passed and she would recognise me and the lads coming by and sort us drinks when we got there. Very welcoming and delicious food. Ethical vegan vibes and cheap prices
Read morePros: Good prices and rotating menu , Good location , Welcoming and friendly owner
Cons: Potentially space as small local business, but we never had a problem sitting in

Fantastic place, Must visit! - Edit
I was passing through the area and had already eaten that day so took a selection of cakes away ans they were out of this world. Super delicious and high quality, I wish I'd bought more! The price was amazing value for money.The owner (Monika) is a really lovely lady and she was very kind to my dogs. I hope to pass back that way to try the rest of the menu!

Portuguese and other recipes made even better - cruelty-free! - Edit
I tried the lasagne today, along with a veganised version of a local sweet. The atmosphere was cheerful and very relaxing. I can't speak Portuguese yet, but it was no problem because the lady I spoke with helped me in English. There is great animal liberation artwork and a good selection of books too. I'm keen to try more from the menu. And more sweets and cakes too! I highly recommend this place.
Read moreP.S. I dare you to try their hot sauce on your meal! It's made in-house with some special recipe. Brace yourself. It's intense!
Pros: 100% vegan, lots of gluten free options, friendly
