Unexpected fantastic experience - Edit
I had no idea what to expect reading the description of this place. Peter and I ended up here spontaneously walking through Lisbon. We were surprised by the high quality of the food and the creativity of the dishes. Also we had an amazing experience with the service. I highly recommend this restaurant if you visit Lisbon for everyone but especially when you’re vegan.

Delicious but not filling - Edit
Delicious vegan restaurant, we got the octopus which was very good but the portion is very small for the price, we were still hungry after. So I would recommend ordering a side of rice at least because one main course is not enough.
Read morePros: Quality ingredients, Nice service and atmosphere
Cons: Small portions, Price per value

Limited options but so good - Edit
The menu isn’t huge, but this isn’t a big deal since the options are all great. We had the octopus, steak and the croquettes for an app. We also got the snickers tart and the nata tarte

Lovely food - Edit
The food was lovely, especially the croquettes and 'steak and egg'. I'd love to know how they make the egg as it's delicious. I also really enjoyed the mango lassi. Two minor criticisms: the berry lemonade is 10% fruit bits, 40% foam, 50% drinkable liquid, so small drink overall; the timing for food was a bit off, 1 starter arrived ages before the others and we were still eating (not slow eaters) when the mains arrived.

Fantastic Portuguese Food! - Edit
We stumbled upon this place and what a happy accident. The most delicious food! I’d been wanting to try more authentic Portuguese food (that’s vegan!) and had not had much luck until here. Their dish of the day was a feijoada and it was sublime!!!! It was a perfectly filling, but not stuffing meal that was so fresh and full of flavor. I had it with the mango lassi. My partner had the house iced tea which was light and the Francesinha and he ate the entire thing! It looked rich and fulfilling. I highly recommend this vegan spot to all.

Bit of a weird one - Edit
The food was nice enough and I guess it was my fault for ordering what I ordered. It was a sandwich that looked like SpongeBob SquarePants. Still, it tasted alright.

Delicious Portuguese - Edit
I was looking for traditional Portuguese and thankfully found this place. The food is absolutely delicious, so flavourful. It was hard to decide what to have - so many enticing options. The prices are reasonable. The atmosphere and service were great. Very much recommended!

Perfetto - Edit
La grandissima offerta di piatti tradizionali portoghesi ma vegani che offre Kong è solo il primo dei punti di forza del locale. La cottura, il gusto e la consistenza di tutti i piatti era perfetta, sorprendente. Il personale è gentile e competente, l'ambiente curato e di buon gusto. Se non fossimo a Lisbona solo per una breve vacanza verremmo a mangiare qui tutti i giorni!

Amazing food - Edit
The Portuguese skewers were amazing. The texture of the seitan was great, and it tasted like ham to me. Ordered the snickers tart for dessert and it was also delicious.

Amazing authentic portuguese food - Edit
If you want to eat authentic portuguese food in Lisbon this is the the place to go to. We had the croquettes and the cauliflower wings which were absolutely amazing with a super crunchy exterior. As a Main I got the Francesinha which is an absolut banger here, super delicious and succulent with amazing cheese. As a dessert you should try the Nata Tarte with Ice Cream, which was honestly the best dessert I've ever! Very nice Combo!

Pros: Authentic, Everything home made, Fair prices and stuff riendly staff

Kong is not King - Edit
My niece recommended this place. There were 4 of us eating here. We started with the croquettes & wings, these were good but I've had better, the sauces were just standard shop bought not house made. I had the same dish I'd had the night before in a different restaurant, a seitan steak in gravy with a vegan egg, came with fries, rice & salad. It was again good but the salad was tasteless, & the entire dish was not as good as the previous nights. My girlfriend had skewers on mashed potato which she enjoyed. For dessert I had the Snickers tart which was very nice. My overall impression is that this place deals in volume so that the food doesn't have that extra touch of care.
Read morePros: Plenty of options, nice interior

Happy Octopus - Edit
Lisbon is blessed with some fantastic vegan dining options, and if you want a fine-dining experience then there are much fancier alternatives; but Kong is a fine vegan option in a very central location. I wasn't 'wowed' by the food, but I enjoyed it. The "Happy Octopus" was the best of the dishes we tried, and I'd recommend that to mushroom lovers. Staff and service were great and the food arrived quickly.
Read morePros: Convenient, 100% vegan, Efficient and friendly
