A minha avó adorou!

Levei a minha avó a este restaurante e ela adorou! Ela não é vegana e eu estava com receio que não fosse gostar, mas adorou tudo o que mandámos vir.
Comemos peixinhos da horta, bacalhau com natas, bife da avó (com molho de natas e cogumelos) e doce da casa. Estava tudo delicioso, 5 estrelas.
O staff foi muito atencioso e prestou um excelente serviço.
Recomendo. Levem as vossas avós!

Comida excelente

Primeira vez que comi bitoque! O substituto do ovo é saboroso. O doce da casa é uma verdadeira obra prima, das melhores sobremesas que ja comi.

Pros: Comida, Espaço

Cons: Atendimento bruto e desastrado

Must visit

This place was just abolutely amazing. The interior is a bit minimalistic, but it actually gives this restaurant a bit of a high class vibe.

The food was so good, definetely one of my favourites during my trip. I had a franceshina, my friend had a potatoe dish which I sadly dont remember the name of.
The franceshina sauce was so good I could have start eating it like a soup. The egg was scarily close to a real one, the bread was soft and fluffy. The flavour of the meal was so rich, it was filling and we both left the place super satisfied.
My friend also had something like a pastel del nata ice cream which the chef created and it was a warm flaky pastry with vanilla custard, but softer and differently shaped like the regular ones. Really sweet, beautifully presented.

I honestly could have eaten there every day and will definetely go back when im in lisbon again!

Pros: All vegan, great options, Traditional tasty food, Super filling

Du traditionnel vegan 🇵🇹

Ça fait très plaisir de pouvoir goûter la cuisine tradionnelle (spécialités) portugaise dans sa version végane. Pour avoir vécu avec un portugais avant d'être végane, je trouve que les saveurs sont respectées ! Belle générosité au niveau des quantités également.

Very impressed

I was very impressed with the "fried egg" they made and the food overall was very tasty. The options did seem to be a bit low on veggies, but as quality was so good I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Kind service as well.

A quick lunch menu

I popped in to have the set menu and it was great. The strawberry lemonade accompanying the meal was incredible! Great service too!

Kitchen closes at 2:30

Wish I could write a review of the food but they close the kitchen at 2:30. Wish they had mentioned that somewhere on their IG or website.

I went back at 2pm another day, they were already out of soup haha. The food was just ok, the presentation is nice but the taste was pretty mid. Had the Bife da Avo which was really salty, and the cookie cake which was too sweet and didn't have much taste.

Um dos meus novos sítios favoritos

Adoro quando pegam em comida tradicional portuguesa e transformam na sua versão vegan, mais ética.
Comida deliciosa; ótimas porções e ótimo serviço. Quero voltar para provar todos os pratos.

Amazing

A super cozy space with top-notch service.
The food is wonderful, made with love, which is reflected in the presented dish—typically Portuguese dishes but free from animal suffering ❤️
I will definitely come back without a doubt ☺️

Vegan portuguese specialties homemade

This restaurant of veganized Portuguese specialties, whose name means “my grandmother”, makes traditional Portuguese recipes gourmet, but without animals or animal products.
Croquettes, bitoque come "ovo", Bacalhau, Fransinja, rolo de "Carne", all these dishes are served in vegan versions to the delight of the palate, right down to reproducing the fried egg!
I was able to try the croquettes with spicy mayonnaise! a delight
Then I followed up with a Bitoque (homemade seitan steak with a vegan egg!) Well cooked and the fried egg is very similar.
For dessert, a pastel de nata with vanilla ice cream, always with an edible, decorative pansy flower.

The decor is uncluttered and clearly reflects the brand's values.
In short, a good place to discover Portuguese cuisine in an ethical version.

Vegan Portuguese Dishes

We had an excellent meal here and tried the bacalhau and a rice with sausage dish. Both were outstanding and the portions generous! For a starter, the croquettes were cute and tasty. Sadly, we were too full for dessert. Service was excellent. Reservations are recommended.

Excellent desserts, nice if you want traditional dishes

I didn't quite love the dishes since I am not a fan of that type of cuisine but my friends enjoyed them.
However the Croquetas (starters) were absolutely delicious (could have eaten only that) and the desserts are absolutely amazing. We had a cheesecake that was not on the menu and the ´dolce something' and they were both absolutely delicious.

If you are not a fan of meat / fish -like stuff, I would recommend the rice with mushrooms and the croquetas.
The mango mojito is really good, too!

Veganised Traditional

I was so happy to find this restaurant because of its veganised traditional dishes, some are very cleverly done! I will definitely come back to try the other dishes out.

Pros: Friendly service, Peixinhos da horta & Bitoque & Pica Pau, The desserts!

Cons: became very busy later on

Traditional Portugese but vegan

The venue looked nice, clean, modern and was quite busy. We were triggered by the vegan 'egg' sunny side up. I wasn't very hungry, ate the 'meat' croquettes which were very tasteful, a bit smoky. The 'egg' was very small, the egg white was convincing. But the taste came merely from the black salt on top, which made it very salty.

Não justifica preço/qualidade

Fizemos reserva mas quando chegamos ao restaurante já não tinhamos a opção de escolher o prato do dia, teria de ser outro do menu. Ora, se faço reserva a partida espero conseguir o prato do dia, estamos a falar de uma reserva com dias de antecedência.
Quando o prato chegou esperava adorar mas não foi o caso. Na sobremesa conseguia trincar o açúcar.
Talvez seja porque as nossas expectativas estavam muito elevadas face a este restaurante por ter um conceito muito interessante (veganizar pratos típicos).
Contudo, não ficamos fãs.

Pros: Apresentação dos pratos

Cons: Atendimento do tipo fastfood , Preço muito elevado

Traditional and cozy

I love the atmosphere here and the croquetas were amazing! The daily noodle soup could have been more flavorful however, next time I’m excited to try more of their ‘Portuguese food done vegan’ options! The dessert was also delicious 🌱

I think it needs improvement

Food took an extraordinary time to arrive (almost 1h) They told us it’s because I ordered one of the “fish pies”/bacalhau, but everyone else in the restaurant had the same issue and many people were complaining.

When the food arrived I wanted to love it but didn’t think it was anything special and wasn’t blown away by any of the flavours either. Nothing too special. Dessert wise wasn’t any better either. The pudim was the best out of the desserts we tried.

Lovely decor on the bathroom though!
