Purely Vegan & Amazing Food and atmosphere

Has a cultural vibe, with paints on display from local artists. Is very eco-friendly oriented and the food is purely vegan and very very tasty.

Comfort food

You have to make a reservation beforehand to have a meal there. I went without knowing this and still was offered a delicious plate of rice, falafels and veggie burger. So cheap, so good!

Pros: Homemade comfort food, cheap, friendly

Cons: None

Nice atmosphere

This place is a community place with themed food and other activities. The food was tasting very well (came there for Brazilian acarajé with vetapá) although the portions were really small. The staff is nice and helpful and the prices are very friendly. Recommended if you feel like talking to nice people and want to experience something different. Not a typical restaurant.

Pros: Price, Vegan food, Nice Atmosphere

Cons: Small portions

more then a restaurant experience

I assumed I was going to a Restaurant. I ended up dancing with a live band, and talking to a bunch of nice people. Food was also pretty nice and simpel. I think I would come back, just for the friendly and home atmosphere.

Pros: great vibe, good food, the experience in general in there

Cons: not many options with food

While waiting for food, a lovely band played some music. it was a great vibe. at Espaco Compasso in Porto

Eating as a collective experience

It is by no means a restaurant. It's a communitary, collective, ecological, friendly kitchen managed with love, commitment and volunteering spirit.
Certainly the "belly-button" of Espaço Compasso, a cultural association depending only on volunteering and fund-raising to provide with this alternative and welcoming environment.
The food is awesome, meals alwys vegan and mostly bio (indicated when such).
Much more than an eating experience - you will be fed on many levels.

Pros: Amazing food, Downtown, quaint Porto, Humanitarian and ecological purpose

Cons: Not a restaurant -that would be a pro :)

Amazing food and enviroment

Not only the delicous homemade food from Ecozinha, 100% vegan and organic, but also the cozy and nice location, the beautiful backyard and the friendly people working at Compasso. For a little price you can have a good healthy meal, and support local alternative projects and associations that gather at the place :)

The One place you should visit in Porto!

Eating at espaco compasso is more than just a meal, it's an experience =) You will be immediately welcomed by warm hearted people who cook for you with all their love and taste a dish that seems simple, but is the most amazing blend of flavours and tasty little surprises. The cook just seems to blindly know what to mix together in order to create magic!

A meal you won't forget!

Pros: great food, welcoming atmosphere, veggies from their own garden

Cozy and nhamy :)

The food is tasty and healthy, the recipes are original, the ingredients are organic and the concept is politically conscient, by avoiding waste or elitism.
The place is also great, with a cozy environment that makes you relax for a while in the middle of a busy, crazy day. Also, this project is inserted in a cultural association, where you can be involved and meet new people and ideas, and sharing a meal is a perfect way to start doing so!
