Amazing food experience! - Edit
This place is one not to miss, while in Lisbon. Fancy, yet so simple… 💚 Food was made and presented with care, looked amazing and tasted the same! And the stuff was incredibly nice and present, but in discretion. We were served faster than in any other restaurant that we tried until now.

Hidden treasure - Edit
A small cosy lit staircase leads you to the small sunny inner garden of the modern looking restaurant. Greeted politely by the staff that brings you to a table with a view on the open kitchen with focused stoic-looking cooks, you prepare yourself for a sophisticated lunch/dinner experience. Expecting a fine dining menu from the context of the atmosphere, you'll find yourself surprised that they offer vegan translations of traditional Portugese comfort food, and for a very affordable price!
Read moreWe took the Portugese Traditional Starters board because we were unable to choose between all the starters. I've eaten nor cuttlefish, nor octopus, nor clams in all my life, but the mushroom substitutes for it were very tasy. Also the plantbased chorizo and alheira sausage were very rich in flavour and texture. As a main course we shared the Islander: smokey alheira, a potato pancake, creamy spinach and mushroom consomme. Even though it wasn't very attractively plated nor unique in my opinion, it was a very good and comforting dish. The Creme Brulee and peanut chocolate pie were amazing.
As a person who never tried the original dishes these plantbased dishes were inspired from and preffering vegetable inspired food, I was not amazed but nevertheless pretty happy with the experience. Being able to order comforting and affordable dishes in a sophisticated looking restaurant with very professional staff is a combination you don't often see. A bit hidden from the busy street you feel like you have discovered a hidden treasure in the heart of the city. Definitely recommended.

El clásico lisboeta nunca falla - Edit
Casi por sorpresa me pilla 26 Vegan Food Project durante una escapada a Lisboa. Y digo casi por sorpresa porque venía de haber cenado hacía un año (aproximadamente) en Em Carne Viva de Oporto, probablemente mi restaurante favorito hasta la fecha. Conocía de cerca lo mucho que la cocina portuguesa podía aportar a la comida puramente vegetal.
Read moreDicho esto, me adentro en el céntrico restaurante, que con un cuidado ambiente en el interior, miro una carta de la que podría haber pedido cada uno de los platos. Sin embargo, compartí lo que ellos mismos dicen «a francesinha que acalenta corpos e corações» y el fantástico medallón de «Alheira». Pero más allá de esto, yo no me compliqué y tenía ganas de jugar fuerte: tiré de clásico y pedí sardinha lisboeta, un plato tan fino en cuanto a sabores y texturas que me hizo sentir que volvía a comer el típico pescado de Portugal. Después de este éxtasis, el postre sólo era un añadido del que podía prescindir y no llamó mi atención (reconozco no ser fan de lo dulce).
Se destila y se respira mucho esmero en la cocina, un intachable trato al comensal, además del fantástico ambiente junto a una calidad-precio más que excelente. Repetir sería la única opción que se me ocurre para seguir disfrutando de la cocina portuguesa.
[Visita: comida del domingo, 4 de diciembre de 2022]
Pros: La sardinha vegetal, La extensa carta de platos, postres y bebidas, La cocina está abierta al público
Cons: El local no es excesivamente espacioso

Amazing veganised portuguese classics - Edit
Wow! I’m so glad I stumbled across this place. It was so amazing to get to try vegan versions of some Portuguese classic dishes. The menu was extensive, imaginative, and everything I chose was absolutely delicious! I had 3 courses and a large bottle of sparkling water and my total came to €30 - such fantastic value for money. That creme brulee is to die for!!!!
Read moreEdit to add: I came back with my partner and tried even more dishes. All amazing!

I’ve never seen a fancy Cesar salad until now. - Edit
Quick, friendly, helpful, and delicious, good price as well!
Read more26 Vegan Project quickly made our Portugal trip much more exciting. We are food travellers and sometimes you get areas with nothing vegan, or just very “uninspired” vegan food. 26 Vegan Food Project is the opposite. We went four times in our short stay in Portugal since there wasn’t much else that held up to their standards of food.
I got to try some Portuguese tradition meals, turned vegan. Defenetly not my favourite but I am still happy I got to try it! The Cesar salad was what kept us coming back, it was amazing. The Tofu main was great, and the soups were delicious and a great size for the price.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a guy I don’t remember his name but when we first arrived he told us the kitchen was closed but helped us find a different place to eat, which happened to be his favorite spot. It helped us a lot since it was late and we were starving. So instead of just ushering us out, they showed us kindness and were very helpful. Earned our respect. 🫡
I highly recommend this place. It’s a great place for people of all walks of life. I brought my non-vegan family here and they loved it. Eat plants 🌱
Pros: Cesar salad, Beautiful environment, comfortable seating. , Friendly Staff
Cons: Closing time is later than kitchen closing time., Not a lot of gluten free options for mains. , The daily specials sometimes don’t change.

Fancy experience 🌱 - Edit
Top notch and attentive servers. 💁♂️
Read more🧀 Cheese Board (17€)
Fantastic variety of vegan cheeses. Crazy what can be made of cashews. Bit more bread would have been great
🍞🍅 Francesinha (15€)
First time trying this dish and it taste like a homemade dish from grandma. Perfect with the homemade chips. Would order this again.
🌱 Seitan Steak (14€)
Tasty steak and not though at all. Perfect with the mustard sauce and the excellent spinach dip. Wedges were nothing special but good.
🍨🍓 Skillets Crumble (6€)
Did not convince unfortunately! The ice scoop was melting immediately im the hot berry cream. The overall dish was too sweet in my personal opinion.
Great would have been if the berry cream is more acid as a counterpart to the sweet ice cream, crumble and sauce topping. If all would be served separately one could overcome the immediate melting.
🍫🥜 Peanut & Chocolate Pie (4,5€)
Basically a giant Snickers. Taste exactly the same but is very filling after starter and main.. consider this when ordering. Taste was great

The food was very delicious and the staff really nice. The biggest downside was the small size of the place which was the crammed with many tables and thus pretty loud.

One of the best in Lisbon - Edit
Food was absolutely amazing. We had the Portugese starter board which was an amazing way to try local dishes. Ravioli and sea soup were delish as well. Very nice atmosphere and very busy when we visited on a weeknight, recommended a booking.

A must try if you’re in Lisbon - Edit
Can recommend the seitan steak. Wasn’t as fussed about the sharer starter, would maybe try the cheeseboard instead. They had a few plant-based ‘seafood’ options that were just different kinds of mushrooms, which is why I gave it 4* rather than 5*. It didn’t feel very creative for a vegan restaurant. That being said, it’s still worth a visit. It is one of the more expensive places in Lisbon, costing us 72 euro in total, but that was with a starter and 2x glasses of wine each.

Horrible place! - Edit

Great vegan food, typical Portuguese dishes - Edit
Stumbled upon this a bit by accident. So glad we found it as we really wanted some Portuguese dishes but vegan, not just veggie burgers or junk food. Beautifully presented food, great flavours and a well designed menu. The starter sharing board allowed us to try lots of different dishes.

Good but not excellent - Edit
Came here without a reservation and the team fit us in for an hour regardless, which we appreciated a lot! There is a lot to choose from on the menu so we went with the starter sample plate that included different types of “fysh” , chorizo and croquettes, and the sardines. I was really excited about this but it was a little disappointing. Most of the fysh dishes were made from mushrooms and tasted quite similar. The bread that came with it was very stale.
Read moreFor the main we chose another mushroom dish, which was excellent, but I guess we were a little shroomed out 😉
All in all, I think it would be better to choose two mains and only one “fysh” starter to make the most of it.
We were stuffed enough not to be able to fit dessert in.
Atmosphere was nice and staff very attentive. Would come back and try some other dishes.
Pros: Vibe, Choice, Staff
Cons: Similar taste of starters

Nice here! - Edit
The vegan cheeses were all excellent! However some more bread could have been added to match the cheese quantity, and maybe some olives or something else for the price.
Read moreThe ravioli were beautiful (perfectly fried and the sauce was cheesy) but if you are super hungry I would suggest to order a starter as the portion isn’t that big.
Altogether very good!!
