Simple, tasty, good value

Set menu for €8.50 includes main course, desert & an interesting fruit tea. Can go back for more too. The food is simple as well as tasty. The desert was free of refined sugar. Another win in the war on burgers!

Pros: Friendly, Charitable, Worth a detour

Incroyable soirée

La cuisinière était adorable.
Les plats sont simples mais très bon et elle nous incite à en reprendre.
Les quantités sont incroyables pour un prix vraiment raisonnable

Pros: La cuisinière , Les plats , Le prix

Perfect Everything

This is the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular costumer.

The food is delicious, super affordable prices, incredible location, and the nicest staff.

They work with a single daily menu option that includes soup, main, dessert, and tea (8,50€). The flavours are home-y, freshly cooked, and truly flavourful.

The space itself is very cozy and has a beautiful sunny balcony.

If there's a vegan business worth supporting in Porto, this is it. I'm hoping to be able to go back every time I visit the city.

Pros: Delicious Food, Fantastic Location, Friendly Staff

Health is wealth

Sometimes, we need to appreciate that what we eat is essential fuel for our bodies. At €8.50, the set meal provided excellent value, especially with the offer of seconds. While it might not have been the most extraordinary culinary experience, it was brimming with nutrients, making it perfect for those on the move.

The combination of soup, a mixed plate , and dessert was a refreshing break after a hectic morning. Moreover, knowing that the restaurant supports a homeless project adds another layer of significance to the dining experience. It’s more than just a meal; it’s a contribution to a worthy cause.

For anyone seeking a healthy and value-packed option while on the go, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Pros: People , Healthy, 100%

Extremely tasty

A set menu for lunch - we had seitan and potatoes with rice and veggies, alongside a lentil soup and date pudding.
Delicious and very reasonably priced

hare krishna

They had a all vegan daily menue with rice, lentils, soup, a tarte, something fried (super tasty!), cake, jelly and tea for just 8€
I could have used some more salt and spices.

Don't expect a restaurant but a hare Krishna place that also offers a meal on a nice terrace with a lemon tree and a cat watching from next door

They also sell some eco friendly toiletries and vegan food upstairs
The view from the toilet upstairs is amazing :)

Pros: really low price, good 'healthy' food, lemon tree on terrace

Vegan restaurant/shop/yoga

This isn’t only a restaurant but also a shop and a place where they do yoga.

Menu is completely vegan but it’s a set menu in a buffet style.
The upside is that you pay a fix price and you can eat as much as you want.

At the table they say that the set menu is 8 eur but I paid 10 eur in the end, despite telling the man that it was 8 eur. I found that a bit dishonest.

You can sit inside and outside as well in the garden.

Pros: Fully vegan, Reasonably priced

Cons: Set menu so you can’t really choose the dish, A bit dishonest about the price, Weird atmosphere

Food is okay, nothing special

There only is a menu of the day. You cannot choose anything. The atmosphere is simple and a bit awkward (however the view is nice). There was no explanation about the concept of the restaurant and the menu of the day. The first time someone came to our table was already with the food. The taste was a bit blend. But the good side is the price: €8 for a menu with soup, main, dessert and tea.

Pros: Cheap, Fully vegan

Cons: Awkward atmosphere , Food not very interesting

Incredible place!

It's in the basement of a multicultural alternative center, they have a nice terrace where I enjoyed a really tasty food at an obscene low price for such food and location!

Nice true vegan place

Perfect classical original vegan food. Mainly Indian style and this is how it should be. Unfortunately many restaurants these days forgot from where veganism came.

Pros: Not expensive , Great food

Super lecker und sehr lieb.

Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und es gab das vegane Tagesgericht, mit leckerer Suppe, einer veganer Quiche, Reis und Bohnen. Als Nachtisch gab es ein riesengroßes Stück Schokotorte. Dazu heißer Tee, perfekt gegen den kalten Regen, der draußen herrschte.

Pros: Sehr lecker , Reichlich, Liebevolle Umgebung

Cons: Nichts

Hidden Himalayan gem

Authentic Himalayan food hidden into a vegan food store. I felt like real guest in someone’s home. Enjoying the three-course meal and herbal tea in a quiet garden under a peach tree. It was silent and perfect place to switch yourself off.

Pros: Garden with an amazing atmosphere, Food made with love, Good price

A-MA-ZING!!

This place is the best of the best! The whole menu is for 7.50€ and they even have a garden and a small vegan shop. Here you can find vegan cheese and vegan salami for half price (like 1.70€ cheese slices 🧀). The people working there are Hare Krishna and I adored them! The food is so amazing!!
