Delicious vegan food, so much choice!

We went to Kong on our weekend trip to Lisbon, we found this place on Happy Cow and had to come as the reviews are amazing!
The food was delicious and I was spoilt for choice on what to order as everything sounded yummy! I chose the seitan and egg dish as I wanted to try the “egg” , it was delicious and I could’ve eaten it again! I also had the mushroom bruschetta for starter and that was equally as yummy!
Would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant if your in Lisbon, so much choice for vegans and the food is incredible 👌🏻

Brilliant vegan food

Really good vegan food - I had the seitan steak which was delicious and my husband had the ‘fish’ made of celeriac which was also incredible. Highly recommend for vegan food in Lisbon.

Excepcional

Eu e meu parceiro visitamos o restaurante dois dias seguidos. O atendimento foi maravilhoso, a comida fantástica e os valores acessíveis.
No primeiro dia experimentamos o prato do dia: lasanha "bolognese", entradinha de croquetas, sopa e o prato de peixe (base de fibra de aipo, coisa incrível), sobremesa com sorvete de manga, biscoito, calda de caramelo e uma base de chocolate cremosa.
E no segundo dia experimentamos o prato do dia Feijoada Brasileira, que estava sensacional! Voltaremos sempre 💚🌱

Pros: Tasty food , Good portions, Lovely environment and staff

Excelente, se mire por donde se mire.

Atención muy buena.
Comida increíble, sabrosa y cantidad-calidad-precio muy buena.
Pedimos un entrante para compartir (espetadas a Portuguesa): increíble sabor y textura de las setas.
Compartimos dos platos tambien: bitoque y francesinha. Una cantidad generosa, llena de sabor y a muy buen precio.
De postre la tarta de snickers la compartimos y muy recomendable.
Ambiente agradable.

Outstanding vegan food in Lisbon.

Excellent, outstanding, fantastic … i am going out of superlatives … restaurant in Lisbon. A must visit.

Super nice staff, delicious food, awesome atmosphere. Clear recommendation.

Had the cauliflower wings as a starter, the seitan 'steak‘ as main dish and the parfait for dessert. Everything super delicious 🤤.

Pros: Nice staff., Delicious., Not to pricy.

Excellent vegan food in Lisbon

Nice place with attentive service and excellent food. Tacos wouldn’t usually be my go-to, but the idea of 3 different types (chilli; beans & guacamole with pico de gallo; and mock chicken) appealed. Was well worth it, as was the nutella cake!

Sensational

We visited at their old location 3 years ago and had a wonderful experience and the food was amazing! It still lived up to our memory and expectations 3 years later. It's amazing to see how much a vegan business has grown and still going strong.
A must visit spot in Lisbon
We ate the Bitoque ('steak' with an 'egg' in a mustard sauce served with rice, chips and salad)and the kong burger. Both were delicious and very very affordable.

Pros: Affordable , Friendly service , Amazing food

Incredible

The octopus and the fish were amazing. The humus bread as well as the snickers tate were great as well. One of the best restaurants I have been to. I went twice, because it was so good.

Such a lovely experience!
Place is very nicely decorated, friendly staff. Food was spot on, from starters to mains. A special note to the Snickers cake, I am still thinking about it :D

Good food but slightly disappointed

The food was good but we were slightly disappointed, we both had the cauliflower wings and they were lovely for the first few and then slightly bland. This place was good but didn’t quite hit the high expectations we had.
I would say there were better vegan places in the city then here but if your passing then I would pop in but don’t make a special trip for it.

Pros: The atmosphere , The wine, The decor

Cons: The slightly bland food

Best beans & rice of my life?!?🫦

I can’t really understand what they did to make even the salad so delicious but go here!!! Super cheap for what it is- very healthy extremely delicious Portuguese food.

Pros: Flavor, Use of Whole Foods for veganizing, Taste? I’m putting that again!

Good vegan Portuguese grub!

I really enjoyed my meal. We had the croquetes to start, then I had the take on Octopus - with oyster mushrooms and potato, I loved it. My companion had the seitan steak and was genuinely concerned it was real despite the restaurant being completely vegan! Our servers were very friendly. The wine was really nice too. Definitely recommend.

Vegan alternatives of portuguese dishes!

Great service. Food was not that pricey and quantities were ok. We ordered the vegan adaptation of two portuguese typical dishes. The fish was great, but the octopus was not what we expected.
They also have daily menu for lunch.

Good food, a little underwhelming

I was highly anticipating eating here when coming to Lisbon but I was honestly left a little left underwhelmed. The food was pretty good don’t get me wrong, I may have just had incredibly high expectations due to the ratings and reviews.

We had the bruschetta which had an interesting flavour profile and was quite enjoyable. We also had the sausage croquettes which were the highlight for sure, I could have eaten loads of them!

It was a great experience to try the vegan Francesinha and get a taste of traditional Portuguese food on our first night in the country!

I would like to give this restaurant another chance if I am in Lisbon again! I didn’t get the chance to try any of the desserts, though they looked delicious.

Finally found good croquettes! The fish dish was really great, the octopus wasn’t quite as good. The parfait was excellent. Very laid back atmosphere, attentive staff.
