Main was served before I finished my starter - Edit
When I was still in the middle of eating my starter (and not even almost finished), the waiter, without asking/checking to see if I'm ready, just gives me my main, and thus I had to abandon my starter in order to eat main before it went cold. However, the main I got (tofu curry) had some roasted tofu on the side, which was much colder than the curry, and the aubergines and rice were also notably colder than the curry, which made the dish quite unpalatable. As well as this, the main was served sloppily in my opinion. However, everything is relatively cheap and there is a nice ambiance in the place.
Read morePros: Fully vegan, Relatively inexpensive, Nice ambiance
Cons: Rice, tofu, aubergine were cold, Main served when I wasn't finished my starter, Food (tofu curry) was presented sloppily

The francesinha is perfect! - Edit
Totally in love with their Francesinha (served only on Fridays). Best to book in advance as they are often full. We didnt have a reservation but arrived early and was able to eat luckly! The coconut cake is also marvelous! Will definitely go back! The open minded & inclusive concept of the Association makes this place even more special.

Great place for a specific crowd - Edit
This place is an association. It’s amazing if you like this kind of scenery. It’s both financial and ecological very accessible and open for anyone.
Read moreFor me the main dish I ate was very very sweet and sticky. It wasn’t quite what I was hoping for. As the menu is changing every day/week: I can only state that the three stars are for this evening, this menu and because of my personal preferences.
Pros: Democratic prices, Open for all, All vegan
Cons: The dish wasn’t full on (for me), Quite cold inside.

Place to go in Porto - Edit
Great, cheap food and drinks and probably the best place to get to know alternative people and local political initiatives in Porto. Many activities, events and free shop. It's also possible to help out here within an European volunteer program.

Good - Edit
It definitely had a charity feel to it, we did enjoy ourselves. Incredibly cheap so we gave an extra donation.
Read moreI would say that the food could have done with some more seasoning or flavours, but that’s personal preference and for the price and cause I can’t complain :)
Good luck

Interesting! - Edit
At first we were a bit confused because the place is very "interesting". The staff and the food were great though. The food was very cheap. You should give the restaurant a chance, it's worth it. And be sure to try a dessert.

I suppose they could have been more rude... I chose not to see if that’s so - Edit
Food may be great, but I’ll never know. I had the misfortune of wandering into this place at 6:50 in the middle of a rain storm. There were other people sitting at tables. When I asked about a table, I was told to leave and come back in 40 minutes when dinner was served. When I asked if I could at least wait until the rain had let up, I was told no.
Read moreNot sure I can remember a worse non-dining experience.
Pros: At least I got a chance to see, What they were like, Before spending any money there
Cons: Rude and condescending staff, Plenty of other vegan options in Porto, I’d suggest you find them

Hey Kelcy!
Read moreCasa da Horta collective would like to clarify that there might have been an misunderstanding concerning this situation.
We open Casa da Horta at 12.30 and we serve lunch until 15h00.
The kitchen closes until we open it again to start serving dinner at 19h30.
In the interval of time between lunch and dinner, which is from 15h00 to 19h30pm, the association and its bar are open, only the kitchen is closed and not serving meals.
Our timetables are available in our media platforms.
We welcome everyone who wishes to visit us and we do never send anyone away albeit food not being ready.
We believe that we might not have explained this correctly and in that case we offer our most sincere apologies.
Than you for the feedback which helps us improve our association.
