Must visit in Porto!

Cannot recommend Roots highly enough. The food was absolutely incredible and the staff was kind and welcoming. The corn ribs were a delicious appetizer and we ordered the Gnocchi and "scallop" dishes as mains. While the Gnocchi dish was amazing, the scallop dish was one of the best meals I've ever eaten. The flavor of all the vegetables in the dish was outstanding and they somehow managed to make the tofu scallop taste like the real deal. Add this to the top of your Porto list!

Very good and innovative food

The bread plate for a starter was delicious, the pastel for appetizer was very tasty. For mains we had the gnocchi, which was soft and very well flavored, and the vieiras and okra. The last one was beautifully presented and very tasty as well. The only issue we had was that it was on a bed of very sweet corn puree that tasted like dessert.
Staff was busy and not super attentive. We stayed until close and they started vacuuming the kitchen while we were still there.

Beautiful and flavorful food!

Sometimes as a vegan I feel like I’ve missed the experience of dining out and have meals with full flavors; however, these meals were full of flavor and were beautiful! The portions were perfect so I could enjoy an appetizer, main course, and dessert. I went alone but if I was there with others I would definitively get multiple things to share and try.

Pros: Flavors, Presentation , Vibe

Cons: Service time

nice but a bit disappointing

Brought my 3 non-vegan friends here, but it was a hard sell. Staff were very attentive, but the room was cold and we didn't want to remove coats (it was a rainy night in April). The menu is small - which is fine, but the items we especially wanted to try (starters, mains and dessert) were not available. And one friend, who wasn't drinking and cannot drink acidic juices, was left with just water as the only fruit juice available on the night was orange. The food that we did get was nicely presented, but quite rich - everything seemed to be truffle/mushroom based and it needed something to cut through that. Overall a bit underwhelming. Perhaps they were having supplier issues and another time would be different.

Pros: all vegan , attentive staff, nice wine

Cons: limited choices on the menu

Amazing vegan restaurant

The food was amazing and the restaurant was really well appointed. We loved the truffles, onion cream and wellington main dishes. Prices very reasonable for a more upscale dinner.

Pros: Truffles , Cocktails , Onion cream

Amazing food

Lovely restaurant with really good food. The mushroom-truffle risotto and chocolate mouse are amazing! The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. A must if you like vegan food.

Try the risotto!

Lovely restaurant with delicious main courses in particular. The desserts were tasty and (almost too) inventive. Service was great. Give it a try!

Pros: Main courses, Venue, Service

Cons: Nobody by the door, may discourage clients to ente, Corn ribs (soft, tomato paste flavour)
