Para os vegans e nao vegans - Edit
Este restaurante estava mesmo ao lado dum pub ingles onde fomos ver um jogo. Fomos muito bem atendidos pela empregada e tenho que admitir que os meus amigos que nao sao vegan nem vegetariano acharam a comida incrivel.. Seja a feijoada , seja o hamburger, ninguem viu a diferencia com a feijoada tipica brasileira ou um hamburger de carne.. As sobremesas tambem eram muitos bons.. Decoracao original com um gorila gigante no meio da sala

KING KONG - Edit
Este foi o segundo restaurante vegan que fiz em Lisboa e posso dizer que até os meus amigos que foram conmigo que nem são vegetarianos, adoraram... Pois o conceito da casa È diferente dos outros vegans : ter a impressão de comer carne ou peixe mas tudo 100% vegan ( e depois ter falado com o Chef, sabemos que tudo è praticamente caseiro). Tem esta vantagem de agradar os vegans e os não vegans e isto, acho muito bom... E claro, também não posso esquecer a qualidade incrível da comida, a originalidade da decoração do espaço e a simpatia dos empregados. Aparentemente, próxima semana vai ter a nova ementa : já sei que vou voltar experimentar!!!...

Great food at a reasonable price - Edit
This place is located conveniently near the big arch in the centre of town and was open during the late afternoon unlike other options in the area. They have plates of the day plus a medium-sized menu. The food we ordered (“fish” and chips and the dish of the day) was really tasty - the side salad was great. The local craft beer and house wine was also delicious and good value for money. The waitress was super friendly and helpful. Only criticism was the slightly uncosy atmosphere and lack of outdoor seating, but the food was great

The vegan gorilla king - Edit
Kong is a very nice place to go to.
Read moreThe space is very calm and allows for a quiet meal time. It's right in the center of Lisbon witch is a fantastic spot to be on. The staff is friendly and the food was very tasty.
A place that checking the hole menu is worth it.
Some of the fried entries were a bit to much on the oily side, nevertheless tasty.
The francesinha dish has a good souse but the spiciness level was a bit hit for it to have no warning on the menu; sometimes the souse completely overlaid the rest of the ingredients of the dish.
The food portions are very good and I am sure no one will go hungry, after all they are gorilla portions.
The price/quality ratio is good.

Amazing experience - Edit
The atmosphere and decoration is amazing, very hip and stylish concept but still somehow chic and cozy. The service was great, our waiter was kind and attentive and also the food as well as the wine came very fast. For the food - the starters were bomb, the fries are completely homemade. But the „fish“ was very authentic while the famous portugese dish they veganized wasn‘t really our thing. We went there a second time and had a burger and the sandwich. Both were very good, would recommend. The sandwich could have a little more salad-like things, but the burgers are definitely perfect.
Read moreDesserts - best mousse au chocolat I‘ve ever had and the coconut pudding is surpringsingly bomb, though both were very sweet. The chocolate cake is portuguese-style and moist.
Pros: amazing service and atmosphere, prices
Cons: fries aren‘t good

The Ultimate Indulgence - Edit
Kong’s extremely nice waitress and chef could be one of the reasons to go there regularly, or their changing daily menus - but the main reason is really the delicious food. They serve very indulgent classics, veganised, such as burgers or fish and chips, but always keep some healthy choices at hand such as the salad of the day of the seitan steak with veggies or salad. The perfect spot to bring a non-veggie or to go wild with that chocolate mousse.

Great experience - Edit
We went for dinner, and had a great time. The staff was lovely, and recommended food on the menu. The Francesinha is really good! There wasn’t that much choice on the menu, but I personally don’t mind that as it makes it easier to choose. Reasonably priced too.

Okay food - Edit
The feijoada was good, the burger a bit dry. Staff is friendly. The restaurant does not have very good ventilation, which means kitchen (frying) smells.

Fantástico - Edit
Quem disse que comida vegan é sem sabor? No Kong é ao contrário. Sempre fico surpreendido com as sugestões do chef Rafael. A simpatia e o profissionalismo da Sarah é também sempre uma mais valia para uma combinação perfeita !

Good - Edit
We had the francesinha and queen burger as well as the chicken nuggets and a panna cotta style dessert. Honestly not the best vegan junk food I've had, it was a little bit bland. The fries didn't seem to be super fresh. However the dessert was great and the waitress was very nice.

Excellent. Extremely tasty and meaty. - Edit
Both the lunch and dinner that I greatly enjoyed were excellent. I happened to be in Lisbon on Thursday night when Kong's has a special Brazilian dish called "Feijoada"; Very satisfying plate with a variety of foods. Lunch was a sandwich of terrific sliced and marinated sietan with smoked vegan cheese. The fries even came with a delicious thick dipping sauce that was flavored so nicely.
Read moreNice very comfortable uncrowded atmosphere too. Highly recommend :-)
Pros: ALL vegan.
Cons: None that I encountered.

Good Portuguese food with environmental impact focus - Edit
The food was good, but the focus was definitely not on health food. They had some traditional meat-heavy dishes done vegan that were very tasty. Environment is really cool and staff are very friendly.

Very enjoyable dinner - Edit
We had a very good three course dinner at Kong. The food was good throughout, but the fries that accompanied the seitan steak were legendary! The oreo mousse was also extremely good. We were there on a Saturday night and although there was a steady flow of customers the restaurant wasn't full at any point, making Kong a very good dinner option in the central tourist area if you don't have a booking.
