Absolute must visit - Edit
Wow, what incredible food. My meal was so fantastic i had to return the following day to try more! The croquettes and the 'cod' were the highlight for me but everything I tried was delicious. So inventive and so much flavour. The staff were wonderful and the food was very reasonably priced. A must visit!

Delicious and highly creative interpretations of traditional Portuguese food. We had the Francesinha, Bacalhau com Natas and Tarte de Nata com Gelado de Pastel de Nata. Chef also gave us a taste of “snickers”. Everything was amazing! Comfortable and fun space and staff. Highly recommend for vegan and non vegans.

Incredible - Edit
Not sure what to say but wow! Had three starters of the fried fish, bruschetta and croquettes. Bruschetta stood out, so tasty. Then mains were Francesinha and the Bitoque. The steak/egg and sides was absolutely incredible. Best meal I’ve had in ages! I couldn’t get over the egg yolk in particular- gobsmacked! Then parfait to finish. Loved it and would absolutely recommend to anyone.

delicious Portuguese traditional food with a vegan twist - Edit
Read moreAn incredible meal ! Everything was seasoned to perfection. From starter with Portuguese Croquettes and Fried ‘Cuttlefish' to Francesinha and Portuguese ‘Cod’ with Cream. We really enjoyed the dishes.
Just the desserts were a bit disappointing, especially the tarte de nata which was very bland and tasteless.

Great food, great service, great value - Edit
Has a great meal here tonight. We went in pretty late without a booking and they seated us
Read morehappily. Very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
We had the sandwich and the seitan steak, followed by the pineapple carpaccio and Nutella cake. The food came out fast. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. Staff were all very friendly, helpful and seemed to take great pride in their work. I can see why this place gets such good reviews. Would highly recommend.

A really great restaurant. The staff is so professional and very kind.
Read moreThe food was really amazing. I loved it.
We had reserved online and had said that it was for a birthday so we got a candle on the dessert.
The prices were absolutely okay, even though it is a nice and fancy restaurant.
I really loved it!!

Something different - Edit
I had the fake cheese with jam, their weird sandwich covered with sauce and the parfait as dessert. I had the opportunity of tastino something different and tipical of the portuguese cuisine, really appreciated. I would just suggest to balance more chocolate and mango in the parfait, because the chocolate was strong. Anyway everything was delicious.

Good food, bad service - Edit
The food was great. Maybe the best I had in Lisbon. But absolutely the slowest service I’ve experienced in recent memory. It took over an hour between courses. Was hard to even get water refilled. It really put a damper on our experience.
Read moreThe food is veganized Portuguese classics. The salmon was especially incredible. My husband found the mustard sauce on the steak a bit heavy. The cheesecake was really cute but came with a shot glass of something that seemed too thin to be a sauce and too bland to be a drink - no one explained its purpose to us, they just plunked it down and walked away.
Pros: Inventive, Tasty
Cons: Horrible service, Expensive

Recommend for portuguese food! - Edit
This is one of the only places in lisbon where you can have Portuguese food!
Read more2025 update: delicious “bitoque”, rly well cooked seitan and sauce
Wow i rly tasted the salmon in the marinated salmon but the serving is too small
The nutella cake is not rly cake but more of a compact mouse, not my fav and also too small for the price
Cool atmosphere
Loved the "octupus" with baked potato, the texture surprised me! Its a nice rendition of the typical octupus made in the oven.
My portuguese non vegan dad had the "fried fish" with tomato rice, but the octupus was tastier and more familiar to the typical dish! Tomato rice rly satisfied him tho!
In the end we had the fantastic parfait

Portions much smaller and MORE EXPENSIVE than before - Edit
One year ago the croquetes were 4.90€ (see photos on Google). I liked this place a lot before. Now they are 5.90€ and noticeably smaller. Shrinkflation made me visit this place for the last time.
Read moreNotice on how, on their response, they ignore the PRICE INCREASE aspect! If it was about portion sizes, then the price would have decreased proportionally to the much smaller dose.

Cons: Shrinkflation, Portions much smaller, Price increase despite smaller dose

Hello Guilherme,
Read moreWe are sorry that your last experience at our restaurant did not meet your expectations.
The portion sizes we serve at Kong are reviewed from time to time with the aim of improving our customers' experience and minimizing waste.
The croquettes, in particular, were an appetizer that, when ordered by just one person (or even two), often led to customers being unable to finish their main course, increasing waste and lowering overall satisfaction levels.
At the moment, most of the feedback we receive indicates that ordering the croquettes (for example, to share between two people), along with a main course and a dessert, provides an appropriate and ideal amount of food.
We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration.
Best regards,
André Santos
