Simply incredible! - Edit
Kong totally wowed us. We had cauliflower wings and croquettes to start which were tasty and plentiful, but the big wow factor came from the ‘steak and egg’ dish, served with a side of rice, salad and fries (a very generous portion too!). Honestly incredible. This was so tasty and a really cool concept for me. We concluded with the Nutella cake and the parfait for dessert – I highly recommend the parfait, what an amazing combination of mango and chocolate. Definitely go if you’re in Lisbon. I hope to return someday.

Vegan Salmon 😀 - Edit
The restaurant has a really nice ambience and we received a very friendly welcome. The menu offers a good selection of starters, main courses and desserts as well as drinks. I had pica pau as a starter and then the salmon. Both were very, very tasty.

Definitely Something Special - Edit
This name was always among the top recommendations as I was looking for food choices in Lisbon. The restaurant is up a flight of stairs and features a large and well lit interior with a play area for the kids. The menu is streamlined and Portugal focused. I had the Francesinha, which is a smothered sandwich, with basically all the starters. They were all great, and I had a great glass of vinho verde. Oh and the desserts were amazing too. Franchise out to Hong Kong- or at least Macau?

You NEED to eat here... - Edit
Loved the decor, the atmosphere and the service but the food is what makes this place 10/10. It was really exciting to try vegan versions of local and traditional Portuguese dishes and everything was absolutely delicious. My favourite was the croquette starter and the nata dessert which even came with nata flavoured ice cream (totally unique). I happily ate my way through three courses...twice in one day! An absolute must visit when in Lisbon. Honestly, some of the best vegan food I have ever had and all of it has been created and made with love. You don't want to miss this place!

Fantastico - Edit
Ogni piatto curato e ricco di sapore, non mangio pesce da un po' di anni e la somiglianza con il sapore del salmone era impressionante! Davvero ottimo!

Just WOW. - Edit
One of the best vegan dining experiences we've ever had. The food and sauces were out of this world. The dish with the mustard sauce, we couldn't believe the flavor. Sweet and savory, it left us wanting more things to dip. Would leave six stars if I could. Obrigado!

Number one for a reason - Edit
Really, really, really good food. Comforting dishes, good servings, friendly atmosphere...
Read moreMaybe it didn't feel very vegan? Like activist, it was more of a tourist place. But with dishes so good how can I not give it 5 stars?
Besides I am a tourist now, I have to get used to that.

Worth visiting - Edit
Delicious traditional Portuguese flavors, beautifully veganized. Nice presentation and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The staff were professional, friendly, and extremely helpful. The restaurant's seating area is located on the second floor, though I'm not certain if an elevator is available. Definitely recommend.

Tasty food - Edit
I really enjoyed the bitoque (steak and egg dish), comes with rice and chips, really tasty! We also tried the Mediterranean salmon which we didn’t love so much, the tofu salmon was personally not great texture for our taste. Desserts were beautiful, the Nutella cake is heavenly and the deconstructed cheesecake was very tasty too. Highly recommend.

I had never tried Portuguese food and I was very curious! kong is one of the most beautiful and delicious restaurants I've ever been to, the place is beautiful, the staff are very kind and super helpful and the food is fantastic! the price is excellent for the quality they offer and the beauty of the place. we tried the Francesinha and the bitoque, we liked them and they were cooked very well.

Vegan Portuguese meal in Kong - Edit
This place is a true gem, skillfully merging traditional Portuguese flavors with vegan cooking. Upon entering, you’re embraced by a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a lush green interior that serves as a perfect escape after a day spent exploring the sun-drenched streets of Lisbon. Kong’s convenient location is ideal for a post-sightseeing stop, just a four-minute walk from Cais do Sodré station and providing direct access to the Belém district.

Great service/ get the starters - Edit
I had the Francesinha, which was their vegan version of a traditional Portuguese sandwich. It was fantastic! My friends both had the seitan steak and liked theirs less. But, the starters were a hit all around. I think we got bruschetta and croquettes. Wow. Yum!
