6 stars!

Best food in lisbon! We loved absolutely every bite and were so so impressed. We also got a side salad and some fries for free, which was a very nice touch. I also adored the decor and the atmosphere, it was just absolutely fantastic! I would give them 6 stars if I could!

Mas que bruxaria é esta :o

O restaurante apresenta versões vegetais de alguns pratos típicos portugueses e mostra muito bem como podemos aliar tradição com compaixão: o 'bitoque' com 'ovo' estava tão escandalosamente semelhante ao dito convencional que até me assustei 😆 Como sobremesa escolhi o bolo de bolacha e é delicioso. Ambiente acolhedor, com muitas plantas e luz, e staff simpático. Já lá quero voltar T.T

Great food and service

The fried "egg" was amazing - after 17 years of veganism I cannot really say how authentic the taste was, but it was very good, and so was the slice of cake I ate for dessert.

Pros: Food, Service

The best francesinha

The croquettes here are amazing - very meaty unlike others I've tried at places in Lisbon. The francesinha is the best I've had. Very cheesy and meaty and Herby and the egg on top actually had an eggy taste instead of just being for show. Highly recommend.

Deliciously amazing!

It’s a mystery how they make a vegan fried egg look and taste so realistic, but it was great!

Pros: Delicious, Staff are ok with dividing entree, Pastel de nada for dessert!

Cons: Make a reservation to ensure you get in

Conceito interessante

Grande variedade de pratos típicos portugueses veganizados. Pedimos o couvert que estava bom, só a manteiga de ervas é que não tinha grande sabor.
Os peixinhos da horta estavam ótimos.
Achei o seitan do bitoque um pouco sem sabor, talvez trabalhar melhor a marinada ou os Ingredientes base do seitan. A francesinha estava boa, um pouco salgada, só dispensava os oregãos.
Gostamos muito do doce da casa, não muito doce, super equilibrado

Pros: Variedade, Conceito , Staff simpatico

Delicious

Finally I can eat all Portuguese traditional food again.
The food is delicious and the staff is nice. We had croquetes and peixinho da horta, and for main dishes arroz sem pato, arroz de polvo and Francesinha.

Good desserts and very well balanced between sweetness.

A must try when in Lisbon 🙌🌱

Bitoque com ovo

Got the bitoque for takeout, very tasty! I recommend dining in though, since the restaurant is really nice.

Absolutely amazing!

Really amazing veganised traditional Portuguese dishes (and more)! We had the croquettes, "bacalhau" com natas and the "carne" à alentejana. They were all delicious! The "pastel de nata" for dessert was only so so, but the mains alone make this a winner. I don't know why it took me so long to go there, but I'll be popping in more times.

Great spot

It's so heartwarming to see such an incredible selection of traditional Portuguese food. A must try if you want to get as close to the Portuguese traditional as possible!

Not worth a visit

We had:
“Bitoque com ovo” which was entirely tasteless except for a small hint of something in the sauce. Bland texture.
“Rolo de carne com amexia caramelizada” which had an ok taste, but loads of potato cream which really was a sauce with nothing to soak it up with.
As starters we had:
Croquettes, good outer texture but inside was a mush like someone had grinded down vegan sausages.
Tomato hummus, ok but a bit bland.

Updated from previous review on 2024-03-04

Pros: The premise

Cons: Bland taste, Not a good advertisement for going vegan

Muito bom (+ alguns detalhes)

Pratos deliciosos e muito bem confeccionados. Não há uma grande variedade de opções nas bebidas, nesse aspecto é um pouco limitado, também tive azar que houve um problema na cozinha e a comida demorou mais de uma hora para chegar e estava fria. No entanto, entendo que foram problemas de circunstância e não pontuais. Apesar disso, a comida é muito boa e vou certamente voltar.

Comida típica

Um lugar perfeito pra provar versões veganas de pratos portugueses! Provei o arroz "com polvo" e o croquete de carne e saí muito satisfeita. Vale muito a pena conhecer se estiver passando por Lisboa!

Hit and miss

I love this restaurant concept, the variety of traditional Portuguese food they present, but my opinion varies a lot for different dishes. For me, some are really good, and others are a bit bland. Of course, this is a personal opinion and friends of mine rate the dishes differently. From what I already tried, I would suggest getting the "Croquetes de "carne"" as a starter, for the main dish the "francesinha" or the "carne de "porco " à portuguesa", and as for dessert they are all good in my opinion 😄. I recommend booking a table in advance. The restaurant is pet -friendly.

Um abraço de nostalgia

Um restaurante que me surpreendeu bastante, nunca apreciei o típico prato de bitoque mas estava curiosa com o da avó e devo dizer que foi o melhor bife/bitoque de seitan que já comi!

Uma dose muito generosa tanto do seitan como do arroz e batata frita (no entanto mesmo não sendo típico do prato podiam dar opção de trocar um dos acompanhamentos por verduras para um melhor equilíbrio nutricional).

O bolo de bolacha nem me lembrei de tirar foto porque mergulhei logo nele mas estava delicioso, um bolo como já não comia há alguns anos!

Conseguem uma união perfeita dos temperos e sabores com toque nostálgico da comidinha caseira.

O espaço tem um ambiente descontraído e simpático, o staff muito atencioso inclusive deixando iniciar a refeição antes da hora da reserva (talvez por ser dia de semana e estar uma intempérie na rua).

Certamente a repetir para provar os outros pratos 💚
