Tasty food - Edit
I really enjoyed the bitoque (steak and egg dish), comes with rice and chips, really tasty! We also tried the Mediterranean salmon which we didn’t love so much, the tofu salmon was personally not great texture for our taste. Desserts were beautiful, the Nutella cake is heavenly and the deconstructed cheesecake was very tasty too. Highly recommend.

best francesinha & bitoque! - Edit
I had never tried Portuguese food and I was very curious! kong is one of the most beautiful and delicious restaurants I've ever been to, the place is beautiful, the staff are very kind and super helpful and the food is fantastic! the price is excellent for the quality they offer and the beauty of the place. we tried the Francesinha and the bitoque, we liked them and they were cooked very well. Personally, Portuguese cuisine wasn't one of our favorites, but it's worth trying and I absolutely recommend this place!

Best meal of our trip to Lisbon
Read moreWonderful staff and the food was amazing. I had the ‘salmon’ which was made from tofu. It was incredible and the accompanying potato dish was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. The parfait dessert was rich but absolutely delicious
Would go back in a heartbeat

Vegan Portuguese meal in Kong - Edit
This place is a true gem, skillfully merging traditional Portuguese flavors with vegan cooking. Upon entering, you’re embraced by a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a lush green interior that serves as a perfect escape after a day spent exploring the sun-drenched streets of Lisbon. Kong’s convenient location is ideal for a post-sightseeing stop, just a four-minute walk from Cais do Sodré station and providing direct access to the Belém district.

Great service/ get the starters - Edit
I had the Francesinha, which was their vegan version of a traditional Portuguese sandwich. It was fantastic! My friends both had the seitan steak and liked theirs less. But, the starters were a hit all around. I think we got bruschetta and croquettes. Wow. Yum!

Delicious and creative food - Edit
We recently visited Kong whilst on holiday in Lisbon. Everything from the decor and the style of the restaurant through to the menu and food is well thought out. The staff were great and really helpful.
Read moreWe tried the homemade cheese and the croquettes to start, followed by the "steak and egg" and finally the parfait and Nutella cake. It was all delicious.
The homemade cheese really blew us away. So creamy and light, it went beautifully with the bread, salad and orange vinegrette.
The steak and egg dish was creative, inventive and a great way to try a traditional Portuguese dish.
The desserts were so good. My only criticism was that I wasn't keen on the mango sorbet with the parfait. I didn't think it worked and didn't add anything to the dish.
Otherwise everything was great and the prices are very reasonable.

OMG- so incredible!!! - Edit
The food, the drinks, the space… everything felt so authebtic and tasted so delicious. The staff was incredibly hospitable, even though we came early. The sauces on the dishes where to die for. We had the octopus, salmon, cheese app, and the white sangria. My partner and I enjoyed every bite. Desserts were the highlight. Order 1 of everything!!
