Incrível

Tinha expectativas altas e não foram defraudadas. Comida excelente num espaço muito bonito. Tudo o que provamos estava fora de série, tanto no sabor como na apresentação. Aviso à navegação - esta excelência paga-se: couverts, 2 entradas, 2 pratos, 2 copos de vinho, água, 1 sobremesa e 1 café, 100€. Voltarei.

Good food in a really nice place

We ate in the patio which was really chic. The waiters were nice and welcoming and the service was exceptional. The food was good (we took Porto tripes and toffish) but maybe not as delicate as we expected to. Pistachio tiramisu was fine (even if it was not a real tiramisu) and the idea of enveloping the tofu with nori seaweed really interesting!

Delicious, good service

We had Tofu Wellington and Dhal curry, red wine, followed by cheesecake and Tiramisu. All delicious. The service was excellent and discreet. The restaurant is decorated with good taste.

Pros: flavourful, happy synthesis of European and Asian cuisine

We enjoyed a well balanced meal in a peaceful atmosphere

We had the opportunity to eat at Jardineiro. We enjoyed a couvert, a main course and desert with coffee. I was happy to have many options with local food (and without mushrooms).

Both the main course and the desert had a good proportion and flavour.

Pros: The possible options, The friendly staff, The taste and atmosphere

Cons: A right price that might be rather high for some

Uma verdadeira experiência

Jantar no Jardineiro foi uma experiência completa! Desde um local lindo e super agradável, atendimento excepcional e uma comida que não tenho nem palavras para descrever!
Já passou da hora dos restaurantes vegetarianos e vegan deixarem de servir só fast-food. Isso sim é gastronomia vegetal!
Uma experiência a se repetir!

Pros: Comida magnífica, Atendimento excepcional , Ambiente super agradável

Amazing!!

The food tastes great, I had the carrot and parsnip tartar, the tofu wellington and the blueberry cheesecake. The cheesecake was incredibly tasty!! The whole place has a nice, intimate atmosphere with a great service from the staff! It's a quiet hidden gem which I highly recommend! One of my best experiences. The prices are affordable for this type of food experience.

Good but not worth price

All of the dishes we had were good, but very small for the price. We tried the linguini, the tofu Wellington, and the tiramisu.

Great for a treat dinner

My partner and I had a lovely meal here. It’s a treat to eat out at a place like this that has a fully vegan menu. Vibe in the restaurant is nice and chill and service was really good.

Food was good, not the best we’ve ever had and a bit fussy for us (small portions, expensive for what you get) but the presentation was amazing and we had an amazing bottle of Crasto Superior douro white wine!

For mains we had tofu Wellington (tasty, texture was a bit mushy and I wish there was more veg, but otherwise good) and seitan steak which was good but a little bit lacking in flavour.

Star of the show food wise was the mushroom starter - we got one between us to share but we wish we got one each!!

Pistachio tiramisu desert was tasty, stay away from the pana cotta, my partner really didn’t like it

Pros: Presentation of food, Mushroom starter, Nice vibe

Cons: Portion size , Lack of veg on main courses, Pana cotta wasn’t good

Great mushroom starter

Lunchmenu with three courses for €18,00. The starter with mushrooms was really delicious, the rice of the risotto was not really good (type of rice or cookingmethod?), but the different types of mushrooms were really tasteful. The linguini with pesto was nice but a bit boring. The apple crumble was good, although the icecream was a bit non descript.

Friendly staff.

10 stars

Not cheap but worth every penny. This place rocked my (vegan) world. It’s very unassuming until you enter the building and then, one is in wonderland. The service is spectacular, the setting is absolutely beautiful and the food made me want to live in Porto. The kitchen ladies are like fairy godmothers I I made sure they knew that.

Pros: Service, Food, Interior design.

Very good but not quite perfect

This is an upscale restaurant in the ground floor of a hotel, with a separate street entrance but joined inside.
The food is high quality and creative, and gives opportunity to try many Porto classics such as tripe stew. However it is not quite as I would expect for the price; the toffish was delicious but without enough seaweed to give a flavour to the full block of tofu, and the pistachio tiramisu closer to a (slightly dry) chocolate cake with pistachio cream.

There are two big negatives to me: one, not all wines are vegan (although those that are are clearly marked) and two, the hotel is *not* vegan, and the same kitchen cooks and provides meat containing breakfasts each day. This detracts somewhat from the vegan restaurant it becomes each evening.

Pros: Porto classics, High quality fresh food

Cons: Not all wines vegan, Restaurant shared with non vegan hotel

It’s a must go for vegans

Wow! I must say, this vegan restaurant is truly exceptional. From its elegant ambiance to the friendly and attentive staff, everything about it is simply delightful. And let's not forget about the incredible flavors of the food – absolutely delicious! While it may be a bit pricey, the experience is well worth it. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in Porto.

Holy Toledo!

My husband and I have been vegan more than 20 years and my children have been vegan since birth. We have eaten a LOT of vegan fare. This place is truly exceptional and we adored each and every plate - perhaps the best vegan meals ever. Flavors were exquisite and plates artfully and lovingly constructed with bursting delicious flavors. We had the tripe, pesto linguine, risotto, and beef Wellington. Our kids were just as thrilled as we were (ages 11 and 14). Desserts were to die for! Absolutely a must visit if you are in Porto💗💗💗

Vegan Tripe!

Jardineiro offers a unique blend of upscale dining with a laid-back atmosphere, boasting no strict dress code and a relaxed vibe. The spacious bar area provides an excellent spot for enjoying drinks and indulging in finger foods. The attentive staff went above and beyond, guiding me through the menu while I savored the bread, olives, and dips.

Opting for the Spicy Meat Tortilla with pico de gallo and sour cream was a delectable choice. The pastry boasted a delightful crispness, complementing the flavorsome meat perfectly enhanced by the pico and cream.

For the main course, I ventured into the realm of the unexpected with the Vegan Tripe Porto Style served with wild rice. Surprisingly satisfying, the dish offered a rich, earthy taste enveloped in a white bean stew, skillfully seasoned to perfection.

While the prices at Jardineiro may lean towards the higher end, particularly compared to other options in Porto, the exceptional experience and quality cuisine make it a worthwhile investment. I eagerly look forward to returning for another culinary adventure.

Pros: Food, Staff, Nice

Nice plant-based restaurant

They offer two menus with depending on how many plates you order. The menu changes once a month and it is ok. You can drink as much water as you want, which I very much appreciate. Prices are also well-explained.

Cozy place, OK lunch

We went there with high expectations, but in the end, considering the price, it was just OK. We had the risotto, which was excellent, and the loin with porto wine reduction, which was quite bland. In our case, there was very little sauce and it was not very tasty. For dessert we had pistachio tiramisu and it was nice. Overall, it was a bit expensive for what we had (we went there during the weekend, I think there is a more affordable menu during weekdays for lunch).

Cons: Expensive
