Bang on, Kong! 😄

First place we ate in Lisbon and so damn good we broke our cardinal rule of not repeating any restaurants on holiday, and went back for our final meal there too! Honestly cannot fault a single one of our starters, mains or desserts, or the range on offer. Just really creative, tasty, and perfect size portions. Good introduction to classic Portuguese dishes, made cruelty free. Particular mention of Tiago, our waiter, who was friendly, hard working, and took the time out to discuss how the dishes were made. Next time in Lisbon we will be heading straight there... ❤️

Excellent!

We had dinner there on a Friday evening. The staff were lovely, loved the decor! Our table was next to the big gorilla!
We had a vegan version of Francesinha - a Portuguese classic - and it was absolutely yummy! One of our party was a meat eater and has tried the meat version of Francesinha. He said the vegan version was just as good and just as tasty!

Pros: Lots of vegan versions of Portuguese classics

Cons: None

Good experience

Friendly staff, a cool decoration and delicious foo. This is Kong.

We ordered Croquetes de Alheira (sausage and cheese croquettes), so good we didn't even took a pic. Francesinha and King Burger were delicious. Chips included. Chocolate, peanuts and caramel tart for dessert.

I'd recommend and go back. Amazing vegan spot in Lisbon

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly Staff, Cool decoration

WoW wow wow

So happy to have a lunch with my boyfriend in this restaurant in Lisboa
We choose the fish and chip (everything is vegan of course) it’s was a first for me and so so so good ! Very tasty and bluffing (see pictures attached)
We also order some sausage tasting like chorizo with bbq sauce and wow wow wow. After years without the taste of the real chorizo in my mouth, it was very good and bluffing ! The owner and waitress are super nice and friendly. I also get a lassi mango, actually I could have tried everything but the plate were generous !
Thanks again

Pros: Quality , Quantity , Original

Good!

The starters were great -- esp. the croquettas. The fish dish (lost the picture) was a little blend, so I was happy I went with the francesinha, as it was super good.

Pros: Tasty, Chill vibe, Good prices

Cons: Some options were better than others

Croquetas muy ricas

Tenían una buena carta de platos principales y postres. Buena ubicación y buen trato.
Pedimos “no fish” y croquetas de chorizo que estaban exquisitas.
Obligado ir si estás por el centro de Lisboa. Mejor reservar.
Precios razonables.

Unglaublich gutes Essen

Ich war heute am letzten Tag meiner Portugalreise hier. Hätte ich das Restaurant mal früher gefunden!

Wir hatten fish n chips und francesinha und es war unfassbar lecker! Und für diese Qualität und den Geschmack auch wirklich nicht teuer. 2 Getränke, 2 große Essen für 25€.

Der Service war unglaublich nett!

Nach dem Essen war man einfach glücklich und gut drauf! Perfekt, es geht nicht besser.

Pros: Toller Service , Sehr nett, Essen sehr, sehr, sehr lecker😄

Cons: Keine

Quality vegan food in Lisbon city centre

Very happy with having chosen this restaurant.

I was able to reserve a table by phone without any problem and even when we got there, there were free tables.

The food offer was really good (all vegan, food and drink).

The waiter was also very kind to us and recommended the dishes of the day.

Both food and drink were soon on the table and I was quite amazed at the flavors of each dish. I still struggle with the prejudice that there are vegan dishes that have no flavor but I realize that (at least in this restaurant) they taste spectacular.

I recommend the risotto, the fruit smoothies and also the Oreo / Chocolate Mousse dessert; it looks small but it is quite dense.

In general, I highly recommend it, since it is also very close to Praça do Comércio, in the heart of Lisbon.

Very nice weekly menu

Weekly menu with starter, main course and dessert makes you totally full. You can in fact combine lunch and dinner with the weekly menu. The owner is very friendly and accommodating.

The burger was tasty, though the fries were greasy, shriveled and dark.

Fui para um jantar num dia de semana e pedi o King Burger. O recheio era com o Beyond Burger e estava bem saboroso. Entretanto, as batatas fritas estavam bastante gordurosas, murchas e escuras, com aspecto velho. Creio que eles fritaram novamente sobras de batatas do almoço, visto que o restaurante fica aberto em horário contínuo de manhã até noite. O atendimento é muito bom e bastante justo! Havíamos pedido feijoada, o que nos foi avisado que havia apenas uma sobra e que não estava mais em condições apropriadas e não seria bom nos vendê-la. Achei o preço bastante elevado comparado com os outros restaurantes veganos.

Very good vegan ‘fish’

The “fish” was very good, only the fries were a bit underdone to my liking, that’s the only reason I deducted a star. Otherwise very good restaurant that’s fully vegan. The croquettes were good too! The chocolate cake as a dessert is delicious and definitely recommend!

Excellent

Wonderful 100% vegan restaurant near the Santa Justa Elevator and just a couple of blocks from the Praca Do Comercio. It's a cozy place owned and run by a friendly couple who went out of their way to tell us about some great things to see while we were in Lisbon.

We ate there twice during our visit. The food was outstanding both times. We had the mushrooms and croquets for appetizers, hamburgers, the acai drink, and sampled three different desserts. Yes, we overate but it was worth it. Everything was fantastic. The price was very reasonable too for the amount of food we got. (My wife and I split dishes the second time we visited so we could sample more food.)
