Amazing food and owners

My first experience of a vegan restaurant in Portugal and couldn’t have been better! Food was absolutely delicious and very unique as everything is smoked, so nice I had to return the next day when they had prepared a special menu for Festa de São João, which again was incredible😊 owners are so lovely and chatty, I couldn’t recommend this place more! Am already looking forward to returning on my next visit to Porto❤️

Good, but can be better

Nice atmosphere, nice music, ok food.
Tried the garlic potatoes, the bun burger and the aubergine.
Everything was ok, but it can be done better and I found it a bit overpriced for what I got.
Recommended if you like craft beer.

Smoked food and dark decor

The couple who owns Vumo is very very nice and welcoming. We tried the eggplant, the potatoes and the bun. The potatoes and bun were good, the bun had a seitan burger, looked they made it themselves, in a tiger bun. A bit spicy for those who like that. The eggplant dish I didn't like at all..in my opinion was just mush...would be better with some crunch inside the dish itself.
For dessert we had a typical middle eastern dessert. With cheese and filo pastry. Taste was good, but sad presentation and small portion of ice cream.
The environment is nice and different. Quite German style bar.

Holy smokes!

Fun concept beautifully executed - everything is smoked, including a desert. Friendly service and a cool space.

Best food in Porto

We really loved this place. The food was exceptional, we particularly enjoyed the hummus and cauliflower main course. Every dish had a smokey theme even the ice cream! The owners were really friendly and helpful. We wish them every success in the future, they deserve it.

Pros: Great food, Lovely atmosphere , Friendly hosts

Cons: Slightly out of town

Excellent smokey food

We hadn’t booked but the man that runs Vumo was very accommodating and wanted to make sure we could still get a table. I would definitely book next time. There was a selection of smoked foods on the menu. We ordered the Ruben sandwich and the whole grain bun. The sandwich was very tasty! The whole grain bun was very flavoursome, just a little wet when bitten into. A friend’s order came out a little later than the rest but teething problems are to be expected in a new restaurant. Would definitely go back if I were to come to Porto again.

Smokey goodness

First off I would advise booking as you may miss out.
For only being open 6 weeks at the time of our visit there were a couple of teething issues but the gent who runs Vümo was really great and accommodating.
The food is really good, everything is smoked here which if you liked smoked food you can’t go wrong.
A relatively small menu but done well

We had Potato’s and “Txorizo” as a small plate starter. The “Ruben” and “Bun” as a main. The “Ruben” was outstanding.

All in all a good visit well worth the walk just outside the main town.

Pros: Smoked food, Great staff, Nice aesthetic

Cons: May need to book

Excellent food

We were so happy that we found this place last minute on HappyCow and decided to cancel our other reservation to have dinner at VÜMO instead. It was definitely one of the best meals of our trip to Portugal. The idea of 100% vegan smokehouse is absolutely amazing, and it's been executed so well! Everything we tried we loved instantly: smoked beetroot tartar, chorizo with chimichurri, reuben sandwich, hummus with smoked cauliflower & dukkah, zucchini rolls with smoked ricotta, everything was so delicious! The owners are so friendly and really passionate about their food. We also loved the vibe - the place has a great atmosphere with music being played from the records. Absolutely great experience.

Pros: Amazing smoky food, Great atmosphere and music, Did I mention they have great food? 😅

The best place in town!

I couldn't wait any longer for Vümo to open doors and once I walked through them it completely exceeded my expectations. The restaurant is so charming and cozy, a beautiful space we don't find very often. Perfect light, great music, with a special touch of decoration in every single corner. The food is pure art and love. I've been there twice already and tried most of the options in the menu and absolutely all of them were an explosion of flavors and textures that I'm always chasing when I go out to eat. A true gastronomic experience. The smokehouse concept, not to say innovative, is magnificently executed in an artisanal and curated way. Everything is done from scratch, since the smoking to the cooking, with such dedication and knowladge that you can taste in every single bite.

Pros: Great portuguese and vegan wine. , Amazing craft beer and beverages

Classy decor and an eclectic menu

I'd been waiting for this place to open for a while as this husband and wife's previous restaurant was highly regarded in Porto city. It didn't disappoint. The menu is one of the most eclectic and creative I've ever seen in a vegan restaurant, spanning the whole globe in terms of influence and incorporating a wide range of ingredients and produce. There's an admirable lack of dependency on meat substitutes, making the most of natural veggies and grains. Saying that though the seitan Reuben sandwich I had was excellent, with flavoursome sauerkraut and tangy pickle. The soup too was hearty and warming on a rainy Porto afternoon. The decor is elegant without being alienating and a lot of thought has gone into adding greenery and ornaments. It's also nice to get a decent-sized serving of coffee in a big proper coffee cup! Staff are super-friendly, knowledgeable and clearly invested in what they're doing. A must-visit for vegan visitors to Porto.
