Fantastic bombastic - Edit
During just one week in Lisbon we had dinner there twice. The food looks gorgeous and everything we had tasted great.
Read moreMy husband is not vegan but recently stopped eating meat, so every time we go to a vegan place he is still a bit anxious whether it will be nice or not. Kong is one of the places that truly proves that no animal products are needed to make a meal delightful.

Definitely gives the WOW effect - Edit
It would be a shame not to come hungry to this restaurant, because their menu is amazing and it's worth going for a starter/main/dessert. We shared the cashew cheese as a starter and it set the bar high for the rest of the meal. It didn't disappoint when we tried some veganised Portuguese classics. The 'octopus' is made with mushrooms and the 'salmon' with tofu and nori. Everything was presented like a fancy restaurant, so we were pleasantly surprised by the very affordable pricing. There's nothing not to love about this place, from the dramatic entrance (you'll be welcomed by a gorilla statue) to the cosy and secluded interior on the first floor. Great experience overall!

Best vegan restaurant in Lisboa - Edit
Multiple typical Portuguese dishes made vegan, tasting amazing.
Read moreDesserts are alright, though not that great compared to how amazing the other dishes are.
Great service, spoke Spanish and English besides Portuguese.
As an expat coming to Portugal after going vegan, it was a ratatouille-like experience.

Disappointing - Edit
We absolutely cannot support the good reviews, we expected great food but everything was very low quality, the burger dry, the dishes cold, it looked like the chef doesn’t like cooking. It’s a mistery as to how this place has been top rated, the others in Lisbon play in a whole other league. Service tried their best but the kitchen was completely disappointing. How can you make convenience food like beyond meat taste bad?

One of my top restaurants in Lisbon atm - Edit
Kong is currently one of the best vegan restaurants in Lisbon, in my opinion. I have been a client since they started in the previous location and it is a joy to witness their evolution. The restaurant is spacious and suits everyone - people eating alone, couples, groups of friends, birthday dinners, etc -, and it's pet friendly. The staff are very nice and polite people. As for the food, the flavors and the quality are awesome. It is one of those restaurants where I am not afraid to try different dishes, even the ones that sound more of the simpler side, that I will not be disappointed. The menu changes from time to time, which is nice to try new dishes along time. Don't skip the entries, they are usually super good.
