Sabores muy logrados; tanto el "fish" and chips como los champiñones rellenos de "tocino", espectaculares. Entorno relajado y trato súper cordial por parte del personal.

Great vegan junk/fried food for big appetites! - Edit
We had a great diner at Kong, the staff is very nice, the food is great if you’re in for something very FAT! The portions are big and most of the menu is fried, saucy, cheesy which will really feed those cravings!

Quality Feel Good Food - Edit
We had high expectations going for dinner at Kong, as the reviews were excellent, the photos looked amazing, and we had a very pleasant surprise.
Read moreThe location is incredible - very close to the subway and main city atractions.
The place itself is quite small and cozy, and the atmosphere is perfect for a date with smooth music playing and a quiet chill vibe to it.
Their menu is completely vegan and consists mainly of traditional dishes made vegan. We skipped the entrées hoping to leave some space for dessert but the portions were so well served that we'll have to, very happily, go back for the sweet part of the menu.
The food itself (I went for the Francesinha) was delicious. And this is the part that sold me. There are plenty of vegan places trying to make this type of unhealthy/comfort dishes, but very few actually do it right. Kong definitely does.
Two other, things worth mentioning for me were the dessert expositor right at the entry, which is very clever, but also useful for the customers. And the quality of the service - there was only one, extremely nice, waitress, and she worked the room very efficiently.
Overall, loved the place and can't wait to go back for the lunch menu!
Pros: Delicious vegan food, Really good atmosphere , Friendly staff
Cons: On the pricy side but very worth it

Great experience in Lisbon - Edit
Great new discovery. Ah, how I missed Lisbon and its vegan food😄As an entrance we had the little “spicy cheese balls”, which were good (4/5) and the mushrooms with bacon and cheese (6/5 hehe). Later we had the francesinha (can I say De-Li-Ci-Ous!!) and the fish n chips, which had the same texture and flavor as real fish, what is this magic *uckery?!?
Read moreAll in all, great, wholesome experience, and would definitely recommend!
Pros: Great service !!! Best waiter ever , Great food?!? :), 100% vegan!

Good food but overpriced - Edit
The staff is friendly, and the food is good, but at that price point you can find more sophisticated vegan dishes in the same area.

Cozy place with awesome food - Edit
A calm corner in the very busy and touristy downtown. When we entered Kong, everything slowed down. They're pet friendly (really pet friendly!).
Read moreThe food was really awesome! I never had Fish and Chips before to compare with the non-vegan, but there's no need, as it tasted like the real thing (the only real one). My friend had stuffed crepe. And an oreo mousse for desert!
It became one of my favorite in Lisbon!
Pros: Awesome food! , Real pet friendly, Intimate and cozy atmosphere
Cons: Falls a bit in the touristy prices , Could have a dinner menu as there is for lunch

Essential - we came back more than once! - Edit
Wonderfully diverse menu. Too often vegan restaurants lean towards 'health' food or a specific style. We had a big group and we all ate differently: from Seitan Steak and Burgers to Chickpea Tangine and Cannelloni. Really an essential stop if in the centre of town; we came back more than once in our short trip. Great staff and humour too!
Read morePros: Variety, quality of food, fantastic service

Amazing Brazilian vegan restaurant - Edit
We went for lunch and it seemed very popular.
Read moreFor starters we had the mushrooms stuffed with vegan bacon and cheese. Very good indeed.
For the main course we had Francesinha. Tofu and seitan sausage with bread and cheese in a tomato sauce. Very tasty and filling so no room for dessert
Friendly staff and overall a great experience
Pros: Everything is vegan , Friendly staff , Interesting decor

A Portuguese taste but vegan! - Edit
The francesinha and bolinho de queijo were AMAZING. My husband loves the bolinhos and he’s nowhere close to being vegan. I’ve been wanting to try a francesinha since we got here but an authentic one is definitely not vegan. Glad I had the opportunity! The server was very kind and fluent in Portuguese/English. Will definitely come back!
Read morePros: Traditional Portuguese dishes but vegan , Many options , Great atmosphere/service
Cons: A bit more expensive than other spots in Lisbon

Brilliant! - Edit
Eaten here twice and both times had fantastic food. I've been here on a Thursday when they have their dish of the day, which is Brazilian dish - rice, beans, seitan, fried banana. Delicious! The canneloni is also very tasty, and I've tried 2 desserts, the oreo moose and chocolate moose. Both sublime!
Read moreAlso, soup of the day is only €1.50.
They have the beyond burger here too.
Pros: A variety of options, prices vary too, but not , too expensive! Good wifi, good location in , centre, near shops.
Cons: None I can think of!

Good homemade food. The starters for the day took our points down with one star but the main courses, “aubergine & seitan caneloni” was great.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Good main courses, Good value for money

Not all menu items available - Edit
We were on a trip and went on a Monday noon to try vegan versions of Portuguese food, but exactly the popular dishes were sold out from the weekend, the waitress told us. So we were a bit dissappointed, but the food was still good and the atmosphere was very chill and nice.

Great lunch! - Edit
We happened upon this place during a tour of Lisbon. The menu is small, but the dishes are very good; the Oreo mousse was incredible. It’s a small place without tons of seating but we went just after 2pm on a Tuesday and were seated without any issues. The service was friendly and great and they spoke English. Definitely worth checking out!
