Recommended!

The croquettes, white housewine, and nutella cake were all fantastic and reasonably priced. The servers were super nice as well and with the location having an upstairs is also great.

Recommended!

Big disappointment

I anticipated a good experience at this restaurant, given its top ranking on HappyCow for Lisbon and all the amazing reviews. I opted for the "Polvo à Feliz a Rageleiro," while my friend ordered the "Bitoque." Both dishes were major disappointments. The leafy greens lacked freshness, seemed to be frozen rather than fresh, and the excessive oiliness overwhelmed any discernible taste, making the meal disappointingly bland and also hard to chew. Unfortunately, my friend expressed the same about his dish. This establishment failed to live up to its hype, and I find it unlikely that I would consider returning.

Superb

Really impressive. Lovely atmosphere, staff incredible, reasonable prices, and the food was fabulous 😍. Exquisite presentation, lovely balance of flavours and textures, and even the crockery added a dimension of elegance. Can you tell that I really liked it?🤓 #Veganuary

The best vegan food I ever had

Everything we had was delicious, I went with my husband and our toddler and everyone at the table was quietly eating, that's how good it was.

Pros: EVERYTHING

The best!

Amazing food.. from starters to desert

For main course they do traditional portuges food but some other things aswell!

Staff is suoer friendly and compassionate about what they do!

Clearly they dont do vegan food for the popularity, but for the good cause of the animals!

Definitely love this place

Friendly staff

The food was great like many reviews will tell you. But we also found it very family friendly as everybody seems to really enjoy having little kids there. Would definitely come back here.

Best Vegan place in Lisbon

If you have the opportunity, every Thursday at lunch, they have Feijoada a Brasileira. You need to try it!

Excellent

A must try place if you like Portuguese traditional food but made completely vegan. We had Francesinhas as main dishes and shared brusceta as a starter. The portions were very filling - i was not able to finish my main dish. The mango lassi drink was very delicious. The service was quick and kind. Recommend this place!

Typical Portuguese cuisine made vegan - Fantastic

I invited a good friend for his birthday to Kongs. First as he had recognised that everything is fully vegan, he wasn´t really happy but with the food and the wine his smile went back on his face as it was the best vegan food he ever had, to say it with his words.
For me it was fantastic as I am missing a few dishes like the Polvo a Lagareiro and it is truly not the same like an octopus but it is very near to the original and so [censored] tasty.
Also they have their own filtered water in their own glas bottles which is very sustainable and the starters cauliflower wings and bruschetta were both nice.
Finally the biologic wine they serve is also very tasty, therefore my fully recommendation.

Pros: Typical Portuguese cuisine made vegan, Own filtered drinking water, Staff was very friendly

Wonderful location and excellent food

Excellent and fast service. Indulgent, comforting food that is no match for the original omnivorous variants of typical Portuguese dishes. The francesinha was divine and don't waste that sauce!

Pros: Quality of food , Excellent ability to replicate traditional tastes, Location

Unique good food, cozy atmosphere

The Francesinha was very unique and yummy, staff was kind, and the atmosphere was cute. Didn’t blow me away, but I would definitely go back and try something else from the menu.

Really good food

I had the fried ‘fish’ with rice and beans and a little bruschetta with aubergine. The fried ‘fish’ with rice and beans was so delicious! Pretty simple flavours but it really worked for me. The bruschetta was very good too, the green spinach bread was interesting.
