excellent veganized traditional portuguese cuisine

i love the focus on the traditional menu, since it can be hard to find a good variety of vegan versions. the food is delicious and rich as is to be expected of the originals.

it's a great fine dining experience.

Traditional Portuguese food veganised!

Offers veganised versions of typical Portuguese dishes, most of which are with meat- and seafood-alternatives. I personally recommend the francesinha. Desserts are also very tasty.
The "egg" is scarily realistic!

Traditional portuguese food

Been there only once but immediately became one of my top 3. As a native portuguese, the food tastes exactly like our traditional portuguese food - the perfect comfort food ☺️ when I was younger, bitoque used to be my favourite dish, but it’s been 10 years since I last felt what it’s like the taste of it. Thanks to “A Minha Avó”, I was finally able to taste it again and confirm, once more, that it’s not the dead animals’ corpse that tastes good, it’s the seasoning and the way we cook our food : ) my friends also let me try a bit of their dishes and they were all perfect and such a time travel moment back to my childhood 🥹

Hearty meals in a cool setting

Dishes are rich, and full of flavor, if you like mushrooms the 'octopus' rice is nice and full of different fungi. The steak with egg is good, but we needed a salad or something to cut the carbs and rich sauce. Desserts looked great, but after the mains and an appetizer we were too full and needed a nap.

Pros: Big portions and flavor, Open late on a sunday, Cool space

yummy traditional food

as a long time non-animal eater and as a portuguese, I found this the best place to get some of the nostalgia of eating some of the dishes "done the right way" as I did when I was a child.
it was a bit overpriced but was completely the best filling meal I could have asked for. the desserts are delicious and the staff is really attentive. I wish they just had more space between the tables because sometimes it was a bit overstimulating

Traditional Portuguese food

Lovely to be able to try traditional Portuguese food in vegan form. The starters were the stars - we had croquetes, tempura beans and estaladicos (sausage wrapped in dough) - all we're superb. Mains were tasty and large portions and then the Portuguese creme brulee was incredible.

Pros: Being able to try traditional Portuguese food, The starters - very delicious, Creme brulee - amazing!

Comida portuguesa nota 10

Restaurante vegano, com um menu inteiro de pratos tradicionais de Portugal. Comemos uma entrada de cogumelos a Bulhão Pato, bacalhau de nata e bife da avó no molho cremoso com cogumelos. Tudo maravilhoso!
Sem defeitos. A sobremesa foi o ótimo doce da casa. Para beber tivemos uma cidra e cerveja, ambos sem álcool. Recomendo a todos.

Pros: A comida, O menu, O atendimento

Cons: Nada me desagradou

Nice food

I loved they have all traditional Portuguese food veganized. This is very important for tourists that want to try local food. The atmosphere of the place is good, all the waitresses are nice. I tried Bitoque and Francesinha. I do recommend them.

Deftige vegane Küche

Das Essen war sehr authentisch und traditionell portugiesisch. Es hat hier sehr gut geschmeckt, es war uns nur etwas zu deftig. Die Gerichte sind den traditionellen Originalen nachempfunden, aber für mehr Bekömmlichkeit hat uns etwas Gemüse oder Salat zum Auflockern gefehlt.

Pros: Authentische Küche, Sehr freundliches Personal , Gute Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken

Cons: Wenig Gemüse oder Salat

Sandwich is so good

I had the seitan and mushroom sandwich and I enjoyed it so much. It tastes meaty and burst of mushroom umami flavor. The cake was too sweet to my liking, the first few bites were good tho.

Excellent

We went to this place maybe four times during our week in Lisbon. Not in the centre but 100% worth the short taxi ride

The food is absolutely fantastic

Lots of great Portuguese dishes made vegan style

Try the Francesinha and the insane cheeseboard !

Staff are excellent

Book at the weekend it gets busy

Bacalhau com natas

After trying to visit this restaurant last year, but being told that there weren't avaliable tables, I finally managed to have lunch here. I started with a soup, which was nice, but nothing spectacular. Then I had the "Bacalhau com natas", which was really fantastic and very close to the original from what I remember from my omnivore days. I finished with a dessert, "bolo de bolacha", another great choice. Would recommend, but please better make a reservation only.

Best vegan grandma’s food in Portugal (and beyond)

Perfect service. Really tasty and delicious food. Excellent vegan versions of Portuguese traditional cuisine. Best Francesinha in town. Bitoque is also highly recommended. Generous portions and good prices. Not to miss if you are in Lisbon!

The place for traditional portuguese vegan food

Though you wouldn‘t guess from the small entrance, the restaurant is actually spacy yet cozy in the back. They have a wide selection of classical portuguese food and the portions are very big. We shared a francesinha and two starters. Our favourite were the croquettes and sadly we were to full to try any of the awesome sounding desserts.

Riquísimo

Un sitio pequeñito y acogedor con personal muy amable y atento. Lo único que me sorprendió es que no tuvieran ni idea de alérgenos. Uno de los comensales tenía alergia a frutos secos y se pasaron el mensaje de uno a otro. Hasta 3 o 4 personas vinieron y nadie sabía bien, hasta que la última más o menos supo, pero sin parecer segura. Quitando esto, todo de 10.

La comida estaba riquísima y sin duda repetiré cuando vuelva a Lisboa.

Just amazing, the food was really good. It's a bit off to the side of the city but I think it was worthwhile!
