Lovely spot, fantastic food

Visible menu concept was brilliant. Exquisite food. My salad was possibly the best salad I have eaten out. Beautiful location, chill vibes. Cake and coffee just as good.

What a nice place

It really is a house of wonders. So colorful and cozy. I loved the visual menu and had a bowl with several ingredients. There were a lot of vegetarian plates but they made mine vegan.

Pros: Colorful, Fresh food, Location

The best salad of my life

This place is indeed the House of Wonders. From the colourful decoration to the menu on display and the rooftop views, being there is a wonderful experience. I had the happiness salad veganised and it was flavourful, colourful and wonderful.

Pros: Amazing food, Lovely vibes, Friendly staff

All veggie. Excellent experience

We called in for brunch. There’s a good selection of dishes. The staff informed me that everything is vegetarian and there are vegan choices. I chose the shakshuka which was excellent - a very rich sauce with a good selection of fresh vegetables (including broccoli, potato, mange touts). Good coffee and a fresh orange, carrot and ginger drink too. My partner chose the yogurt and granola which she said was also delicious.
You can sit outside on a partially covered veranda amongst hundreds of plants.

Pros: The food! , The ambience and veranda, The service :-)

Lovely find

I'd saved this in maps to visit, forgot about it, and then randomly stumbled across it when we were walking the streets of Cascais. My partner said 'Trust you to sniff it out'. It's in a lovely location - in a small courtyard off the walking streets. There are three outside areas, two in the courtyard and one on the roof (no shade). I really liked the visual menu and the food was delicious - you can tell it's made with love. We shared a plate with chickpeas, black beans, boiled egg, etc. The highlight was the red pepper sauce on the side. I'd love the recipe.

Pros: Location, Outside area, Food is delicious

Cons: Price, Took a while for food to arrive

Força bé!

Menjar vegetarià, bio i saludable.

Poden veganitzar gairebé tots els plats, però cal demanar-ho prèviament.

Beautiful food and wonderfully quirky

We were a party of two vegetarians and two meat eaters but everyone loved their food. The menu just being the plates displayed on a table is a really interesting idea and the whole place is painted in bright colours which is lovely. Would 100% recommend

Tasty and filling lunch

Friendly staff who guided us through the visual menu. It was clearly explained which dishes were vegan and which could be modified to make them vegan.

Pros: Large portions

Cons: Slightly on the pricey side

Amazing! Must try.

This place has a beautiful atmosphere. The owner really cares. It has been running for 13 years! The menu changes daily and is cooked with love. They have, what they call a visual menu. Such a lovely experience. When you arrive you are shown the food on a big table and a staff member explains what everything is and answers any questions. The food was delicious and home style. ❤️🙏

Pros: Home style cooking, Friendly staff, Lovely garden to sit

Cons: Could be a few more vegan options

Pretty but confusing and ok food

While the visual menu is a nice idea, it is difficult as it's unclear what is vegan and what can be made vegan. They will tell you but it's hard to keep track since it isn't organized around that.

As well nothing has a name so you don't really know what something is including what a soup base might be.

The Soba salad was good, the orange noodle soup was a bit too light on flavor and thin. The coconut "pudding" is more a cake and it's a subtle flavor as other sugars don't seem to be added

Quirky place, solid food

I came here after big storms so was not able to enjoy the terrace, but I did enjoy my meal. I got a macro bowl, which was tasty and satisfying. They have a “visual menu”, which means samples of each dish on offer rather than a written menu. While somewhat charming in its difference, this meant the staff have to explain each dish to each costumer (this performance took place centimeters away from the back of my chair where I was seated), and I wonder if they throw out the samples at the end of the day.

Cozy vegetarian restaurant

Vegetarian restaurant with vegan options, there is no classical menu but you choose by sample dishes. Colorful interior, very nice staff and the food was tasty! Only thing is that I was wondering if they throw out all the display dishes each day.

The carrot cake was nice

But I find it weird that all the dishes are there on a table, the fruit looked stale, and the woman behind the table took her time to explain everything to us and when we decided for a piece of cake and a juice she said" you asked me about lunch and you are having cake" well....it's 1130 in the morning and I'm from Spain. Lunch is at 2pm

Vegans, stay away

We specifically ordered a vegan dish and clearly stated we wanted it to be 100% vegan. However, they sent a cucumber salad with dairy yogurt, which we unknowingly ate half of. This place is unsafe for vegans or those with dairy allergies.

Ugly to see eggs in real menu

The menu is visible means you see real dishes in a table. I arrived before 12 so were all the breakfasts ones and many with eggs and is disgusting to see real eggs in order to see the menu. Really not vegan friendly that way of showing the menu. But they feel a kind of proud of how nice the dishes look when actually are unethical and disgusting and can not imagine that vegans would feel bad to see. For breakfast they had few vegan options and perhaps for lunch they have more but the fact that they show the non vegan dishes for me is a 2 stars.

Tasty but it took way too long

Delicious food, a lot of healthy colourful dishes. They display them on the counter and tell you about what's in it. It's nice that you can see beforehand what you will get, but it seems like a waste of food at the end of the day. You won't be able to eat it anymore if it just sits there all day long in the heat. Beautifully decorated dishes. I had a "pancake" with veggies and gazpacho. All the dishes cost €15. Fresh fruit juices €4. Home made iced tea €5. We sat on the rooftop with a bit of a view on the sea. Although the food was nice, it took a very long time before we got it. They could make about 3/4 of the dishes vegan. The woman of the restaurant speaks English and also Dutch to our surprise.
They had a few vegan cakes. I had the carrot orange cake, was nice! They have non alcoholic beer.

Pros: Tasty food, Healthy, not fried, Beautifully decorated

Cons: You have to wait long at lunchtime

Lecker, nettes Ambiente abseits des Trubels

Die meisten Gerichte in diesem vegetarischen Restaurant können veganisiert werden. Es ging super schnell und war lecker. Draußen sitzt man sehr schön, abseits des Trubels, obwohl es so zentral gelegen ist.

Vegetarian restaurant with a cool concept. During my order I asked twice for a vegan dish, unfortunately they still put goats cheese on my salad.

Choose with your eyes

Nice atmosphere and very kind staff. You can choose from a visual menu, from already prepared foods and they will prepare the exact food for you fresh. Fully vegetarian restaurant with lots of vegan meal options and everything looked delicious. You can have your lunch on an open-air terrace as well.

Excellent!!

We are a family with two girls and we had a wonderful meal everything was super tasty. Leave some room for the desserts!! On top of that the presentation of the Visual menu was really clear and an excellent appetizer .
