Great food and friendly staff.


A varied all vegan menu including takes on Portuguese dishes. Loved the croquetta and the Snickers cheesecake. Vegan beers too. Good music in the background added to the experience.

Great location for Portuguese food made vegan

We had several traditional dishes turned vegan. It tastes great, the portions are reasonable and the menu is well chosen. The staff is very attentive and there ist always a menu of the day. The prices are very good as well as the cleanliness of the place. My boyfriend isn’t even vegan but he agrees: must-do-place!

Pros: Fair prices, Wheelchair accessible , Portuguese classics

Wonderful Experience

I had the seitansteak with mustardsauce, vegan egg, rice and French fries. The Seitan had a very good consistency and very tasty. Egg was very interesting, good texture, new aroma, nice. The sauce tasted very well, fine balance and not too intrusive.
The service was very friendly, I felt welcome there😄

Pros: All vegan

Innovative food!

The menu is pretty extensive and lists a number of traditional Portuguese dishes. The seitan steak is the best vegan steak we have ever had, with the addition of a beautifully tasting sunny side up ‘egg’. The dessert options are amazing too.

Great restaurant!

We went to Kong spontaneously and the waiter made it possible for us to eat there, even though there were a lot of reservations. The food was served fast & it was amazingly delicious. The staff was very very friendly. Also the prices were low. We paid around 2,80€ for a glass of wine, a starter cost around 3-4€.
All in all a great experience! Would definitely recommend going there.

Pros: All vegan, Friendly staff, Cheap

Amazing food - a must try

We loved our first visit to Kong so much that we booked a table for the next night before we had even finished our meal. The staff are amazing and really friendly, the drinks selection is really good and the food is the best I have ever had. This really is the best place to go in Lisbon

Bestes Veganes Restaurant in Lissabon

Nachdem wir von unserem Guide dieses vegane Restaurant empfohlen bekommen haben, wollten wir es direkt ausprobieren. Es bleibt mir nicht viel zu sagen, als dass es für uns das beste vegane Restaurant in Lissabon ist und auch war.

Pros: Ganze Karte Vegan, Sehr schnell , Sehr Lecker

Great experience

It's a nice place with friendly service and delicious food. I tried seitan steak dish and the only thing I didn't like was that it had no salad or other vegetables. Otherwise, everything else was great.

Pros: 100% vegan, Original menu

Cons: Lack of salads/greens

Lovely intimate quirky vegan restaurant

Would advise booking as it's only small and they were turning people away.

We had cauliflower wings and cheesy sausage croquettes to start. Then happy octopus with potatoes, spinach etc, and a seitan steak with mustard sauce, fries and a fried "egg".

Washed down with a jug of sangria wild berries then Oreo mousse and the parfait. YUM!!

Lots of choice, staff were lovely and very reasonably priced. Book in and you won't be disappointed 👍

Pros: Gorgeous staff, Beautiful food and drink, Great background music

One word: outstanding!

We had dinner at Kong. We were so pleased to have vegan versions of Portuguese dishes. For entrees, we had the croquettes and bruschetta, for mains we had the „fish“ and seitan steak and for dessert, we had the snickers tart and a lovely mango dessert. The food was fantastic and the Staff were great!

Best food and service in town!

We went there on a Wednesday evening without a reservation. Had to wait for a bit, but they made space for us. We really wanted to try Portuguese food, but vegan. Had the fish (OMG! Amazing!) and the seitan steak. Really delicious! The best was the slice of snickers cake at the end. Even the Sangria was made with love. The people working there were really on top of their game. Loved the experience.

Delicious!

The mushroom starters were my absolute favorite. I enjoyed being able to try veganized versions of traditional Portuguese food, such as croquettes and an octopus dish (an artfully sliced mushroom subs in as the octopus). Would absolutely recommend, and would return! Cute atmosphere and lovely service, too.

Pros: Quality and tasty food

Excellent food - must visit when in Lisbon

Great place to try Portuguese dishes that wouldn’t normally be vegan. Everything we tried was excellent but I particularly loved the octopus and the snickers tart. Definitely make a trip or two here if you’re in Lisbon. Might need a reservation.

Pros: Portuguese dishes , Excellent taste, Great dessert and wine selection too
