Healthy food in Albufeira. - Edit
I was happy to find this restaurant, when I visited Albufeira in early December 2019. It is not common to find fully vegan restaurants around here and especially not in low-season, where most restaurants are predominantly serving corpses.
Read moreThe food and service were incredibly good. Monica (owner/chef) is such a friendly person. It is clearly one of the best restaurants I have visited.
Pros: Fresh foods, All vegan, Priceworthy

Amazing find - Edit
Sorry i finished my food before i remembered i should have taken a photo for the review 🤣 absolutely beautiful. Id really stuggled on holidays and found this place on the last day of hols (thanks to the facebook group: vegans of ireland). The owner is amazing and so helpful. Giving lots of vegan tips. I could have spent hours getting ideas of food from her. My husband who is a massive meat eater also enjoyed it which was great for me.

Monica is an amazing, wonderful lady with a huge heart and fantastic little restaurant in Albufeira. The place is fully vegan also catering for personal intolerances where needed. Everything is homemade and really delicious and satisfying. Large portion sizes, good prices. Monica is doing this for the love and for the animals. We left with full bellies and full hearts.

Incredible Beyond Meat burger - Edit
A wonderful little find. I’ve been really struggling to find good plant based food in Albufeira but this place had everything. From burgers and hotdogs to vegan full English breakfasts. It’s a small place ran by a couple of people it is very cosy and has a family feel. If you’re looking for a little stop for some good hearty vegan food this is the place.
Read morePros: Cheap for what it is. €12 for a burger , Amazing quality , Made with love
Cons: Can not fault this place

Avoid it if you can - Edit
Went there for lunch and waited for 1h15 to get my dish.
Read moreWe ordered 1 jackfruit sandwich and 1 burger and those were not even good. Jackfruit wasn't cooked but simply taken out of its can. Burger served with industrial crisps, with no taste. We also ordered grilled potatoe as a side dish, they were full of fat and tasted like oil.
That's a shame because the owner is an animal rights activist but the food is definitely not good
Pros: location
Cons: food, waiting time

Excellent Food - Edit
Th cafe is very charming and run by 1 women who does all the cooking. She cooks all the specials of the day in the morning. . The food was excellent and the best tofu baked eggs I have ever had. I went there on the last day of my vaca so I couldn’t go back but I would have gladly eaten there ever day. I also had a slice of pizza with. veggies, tofu and sausage and it was so good I got a slice to go and a pastry.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan home cooked food

Perfect - Edit
The food is just superb and the place is very nice, nothing fake here, all good vibes and fairly priced. We're greeted by Monica who was super accommodating and even though we arrived close to closing time she stayed on a bit longer so we could demolish her top grub. Thanks lovely lady x

Amazing food, lovely hist - Edit
Went on our last night, not disappointed. Monica is so lovely. Small cafe but plenty of choice. Portions amazing. We had the garlic bread and hummus to start, gorgeous. Kids had the Beyond burger, me and the hubbie shared the tofu burger and wrap, delicious. Monica chatted with us. Hubbie and son are omnivores, yet both said it was the best meal of the holiday.

Amazing food - Edit
Recently returned from Albufeira and had some great food here. I had chorizo for starter, beyond burger (first time) and a side of the potatoes. All tasted amazing.
Read moreMonika the owner is a great person and very passionate about animal rights.
One draw back is the opening hours. I visited on a Friday at around 6.45 but the restaurant didn’t open until 7.30 (had a beer next door). Then on Sunday arrived about 6 but the restaurant was shut. From other reviews sounds like the hours are pretty random.
Pros: Great food with lots of choice, Owner is fantastic, Also sells other vegan items
Cons: Unreliable opening hours
