Best Italian Vegan Restaurant Anywhere! - Edit
This small family run restaurant in the heart of the Alfama district produces some of the best Italian food imaginable. Every dish was fresh and delicious. We tried several menu items (see pics) to make the most of our experience at this amazing vegan restaurant…Make a reservation ahead of time as seating is limited. This is a must visit when in Lisbon!

Mi scusi ma no - Edit
A hard try to mimic italian classics but sorely falls short. The vibe is strained italian (music, movies etc.). The food just didn’t hit that pasta craving spot😕 (God i miss Sfizyveg in Berlin so much).
Read morePros: Pasta was al dente, Menu looks good
Cons: Seating inside very crammed, Aubergine very chewy, The strained italian vibe

Wonderful lasagna - Edit
We reserved a table outside and it was quaint. Food was delicious and portions very large. Between us, we ordered the sourdough bread, salad (which was very fresh and delicious), pizza and lasagna. We had tiramisu and gelato for dessert. No complaints! Service was excellent.

Gutes Essen auf schöner Terrasse - Edit
Wir hatten als Vorspeise Bruschetta, war lecker war, aber das Verhältnis von Brot zu Belag war etwas unverhältnismäßig. Viel Brot und wenig Tomaten und Käse. Zur Hauptspeise hatten wir die Lasagne und die Gnoochi. Beides war lecker. Auch das Tiramisu zum Nachtisch war lecker.
Read moreService war freundlich. Die Terrasse ist sehr schön.
Es ist nur Barzahlung möglich.

Nice to enjoy Italian food again - Edit
My fiancé and I enjoyed this place after a day of birdwatching. For me as a vegan, it had been years since I could enjoy a good gnocchi. The food was fantastic and the service polite and swift. Would recommend!

Best restaurant in Lisbon! - Edit
We went to some great restaurants in Lisbon and Porto but this was the best. Great environment and ambience, really friendly and helpful staff, and had a nice chat with the front of house lady whose boyfriend is the chef. She said a lot of the recipes are from his Italian mum, just vegan-ified. The food was AMAZING! Have the hazelnut cake for pudding💗

Melhor carbonara de Lisboa! - Edit
Este restaurante italiano é totalmente vegan e tem a melhor carbonara de Lisboa!
Read moreÉ um restaurante pequenino e muito acolhedor, traz-nos conforto tanto o espaço, a comida e os donos que são muito simpáticos.
Eles têm um menu fixo que por vezes muda na altura do verão.
De quase tudo o que já provei tenho alguns favoritos!
Começamos pelas entradas: Radbit ala Ligure e a Piadina Pizza do mamma Irmã. O “coelho”, acreditem ou não, é feito à base de bifes de soja mas o sabor e a textura é surreal! A piadina não é exatamente uma pizza porque muda a massa, mas é igualmente boa e esta, em vez de molho de tomate, é molho branco, muito bom!
De prato principal peço SEMPRE a carbonara! 🫣 O creme perfeito e com seitan caseiro.
Apesar de já ter provado outros que não fiquei tão fã (talvez por já estar muito habituada à carbonara) este acaba sempre por ser o meu favorito.
E para finalizar, o tiramissu é sempre a minha escolha. 🤎
É o único tiramissu que gosto por este não ser feito com chantilly, mas sim um creme cremoso com bolachinha.
Este restaurante fica em alfama, muito perto da estação de metro e comboio de Santa Apolónia, em Lisboa e talvez por vezes seja difícil de encontrar por ser meio escondido mas vale super a pena procurar!

The best Italian restaurant so far - Edit
Absolutely incredible experience. This vegan Italian spot completely blew me away. Every dish was packed with flavor, deeply rooted in tradition, and honestly better than the original non-vegan versions. You can feel the passion behind every bite,from the textures to the seasoning, everything was perfectly balanced.
Read moreWhat made it even better were the owners, genuinely kind, welcoming, and clearly in love with what they do. They took the time to explain the dishes, share their story, and made the whole evening feel personal and special.
It’s rare to find a place that respects classic Italian cuisine while reinventing it in such a bold, satisfying way. If you’re even slightly curious about vegan food, this place will convert you. A must-try.

I can only echo what others have said below. Everything is fantastic here. In addition, the outside seating was just the cherry on top, it feels like you are in a film.

Very delicious & authentic - Edit
Very friendly owner & delicious vegan food! The restaurant has a typical italian atmosphere, is very cozy because of its small size (but you can also sit outside when the weather is good) and has a good wine selection of portuguese & italian wines

Best Vegan Food in Lisbon - Edit
This was by far the best meal we had in Lisbon, and some of the best vegan Italian we’ve had in the world. On par with some of our favorite spots in Rome. The lasagna, gnocchi and tiramisu will change your life.

This is a very small restaurant, but packs a yummy punch! The servers were great, the entire menu is vegan which is great not to stress about, and it’s amazing food! My partner is not vegan and loved it just as much! The tiramisu was incredible and I highly recommend squeezing it in if you can!

Espaço pequeno em Alfama. Necessária reserva. Serviço simpático. Pratos italianos. Comemos bem. Bruschetta “faça você mesmo” saborosa. Eu pessoalmente não gostei muito do molho/ queijo vegetal. Sobremesas agradáveis
