Explosive and unique flavours

80% of the menu is vegan and variety of dishes. Not your standard burger and mezze eatery! We also had starters of pumpkin soup and tempura but they were devoured before the photos hoot!

Cons: Why not make this 100% vegan?!

Delicious vegetarian food in the heart of Porto’s main market

Delicious vegetarian food in the heart of Porto’s main market

We had a wonderful dinner at Casa Vegetariana, located on the top floor of the beautifully restored Mercado do Bolhão. The setting is spacious and calming, with lovely views over the city streets—such a contrast to the lively market below.

The menu is creative and full of flavour, using fresh seasonal produce sourced directly from the market stalls. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Standouts included the vegetable moqueca, grilled asparagus, and a mushroom dish that was rich and satisfying.

And the banoffee pie—wow! Made with perfectly ripe bananas, it was a highlight of the night. Creamy, indulgent, and the perfect finish.

Service was friendly and relaxed, and the overall vibe is casual but refined. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious vegetarian or plant-based options in Porto. We’ll definitely return!

Nice but rather expensive

It is a lovely place and overall the food was good. However, for the price (which you probably also pay for the posh interior and place in general), I was not actually convinced by my tortellini.

Some vegan options

I wasn’t as impressed with this one as not as many vegan options as hoped for. I had an aubergine dish but it felt more like a side dish than a main meal. A bit chainy. We sat outside so perhaps inside would have more vibes. But more veggie than vegan and didn’t felt like much bang for your buck

Pros: Staff were very attentive and professional

Cons: Not as many vegan options as hoped for , A bit chain-ey

We found it by chance and therefore it was a lucky find.

Amazing meal

It was our first night in Porto and we made reservations here which turned out to be perfect… wandered the Mercado and had a glass of vino verde before hand. Ordered the Padrons for a starter and then the cauliflower steak and Feijoada. Both were amazing. Overall and enjoyable experience.

Very special vegetarian restaurant with vegan options

We nearly didn't go here because we were looking for fully vegan places to eat and Porto has lots of those to choose from.

However we walked past it by chance, it's upstairs in the Bolhao Market and it looked really nice so we decided to go back for my husbands birthday. We are so glad we did, the food here is amazing.

My husband had pumpkin soup to start and it was really delicious. I had mango and avocado tartar which was nice. My husband had black beans, mushrooms, with a crumble and banana which he loved. I had the one large ravioli which was outstandingly delicious. Unfortunately we didn't have any space for desserts

Nice spot with vegan and vegetarian food

The hummus was really nice, also the baba ganush, the cauliflower. Would be nice to have good salads rather chopped veggies, which don’t add much value in a restaurant.

Una cena a Porto

Sicuramente migliorare il servizio in sala e il rapporto con il cliente. Un po' più di gentilezza non guasterebbe

Updated from previous review on 2024-07-28

Pros: La location, la grafica del menù , L'arredamento , I sorrisi in cucina

Cons: La scortesia in sala, La qualità del cibo, I prezzi eccessivamente alti

One of the best veggie options in Porto

I loved this place in Porto, it is located at the 3rd floor of the must known Bolhão market. I went there twice while in Porto. The first time I tried the Green soup, Tofu Welignton, and the banoffee for dessert. Second time I tried the pumpkin soup and the cevadotto, a barley mushroom risotto, didn’t go for dessert a second time since the portions were very well served and I didn’t have space after the great cevadotto, barley is a very clever and more nutritious alternative to rice, I loved it!

Pros: Delicious food, Creative choice of infredients, Nice vibe

The black bean and mushrooms with banana farofa was amazing! I’ve never tasted anything quite like it. The pumpkin pie was yummy too. The vibe and atmosphere is very nice too.

Pros: Unique tastes, Nice people, Comfortable
