Amazing! Must try. - Edit
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. ❤️🙏

Pretty but confusing and ok food - Edit
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.
Read moreAs 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 - Edit
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 - Edit
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 - Edit
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 - Edit
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 - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

Lecker, nettes Ambiente abseits des Trubels - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

Perfect atmosphere - Edit
This is a full vegeterian restaurant with many vegan options ( also possible to make some dishes vegan). The staff is friendly, the location is good. They have a visual menu where they show all the food in front of you, so you can choose what you like. Even you can get an explanation what are the ingredients etc. I understand that concept might come across as a waste of food as they have to cook all the dishes everyday (and throw away possibly at the end of the day). The menu has a fixed price of 14,75 euros per plate. In addition, there you can find refreshments as homemade lemonade, orange juice etc. The food is quite tasty ( although I found some of the options a bit simple). The atmosphere is really perfect. Loved the decoration, the patio is amazing, also the rooftop is really cool.

Cumple - Edit
El tema del menú visual no está mal pese al posible desperdicio de comida que comentan en otras reviews (aunque absolutamente todos los restaurantes desperdician comida). Para pedir tienes que hacer cola frente a los platos y una vez la chica te los explica (yo tuve que especificar que era vegano para que me dijera los platos que podía comer) se te queda mirando expectante a que te decidas, teniendo una cola detrás de ti. Yo no tengo problema con esto pero mucha gente se puede agobiar.
Read moreEntendí que hay un "menú" de comida a un precio fijo (14-15 euros) que incluye un gazpacho o ensalada según elijas y otro plato... Pero no todos. Para otros tienes que pagar un extra, o eso parece. Creo que podrían dejarlo más claro.
Cuando pides sales a las mesas de fuera y esperas a la comida. En mi caso tardaron un rato lo suficientemente largo para que pensara que se les había traspapelado mi pedido, pero al final llegó.
Como se ve en la foto pedí el gazpacho junto con una berenjena con verduras por encima; venía todo en el mismo plato. Para el postre me levanté, volví a la mesa del menú visual, pedí un trozo de tarta de arándanos y coco y me volví a sentar. De compañía en la mesa tuve una paloma que, pese a que me gustan mucho, no se iba ya que los guiris de las otras mesas le habían acostumbrado a que le iba a dar de comer (aclarar que este restaurante es como un mini Benidorm).
La comida en general cumplía, pero nada demasiado especial. Tampoco había proteína por ningún lado así que se notaba como que faltaba algo.
De precio, junto con un agua, 22 euros aproximadamente. Lo normal, aunque debería ser más barato.

Amazing place! - Edit
We ate here several times and were always greeted with warmth. Their menu changes frequently so we were able to try lots of different dishes, all of which were delicious and came very quickly.
Read moreThe waiters point out which ones are vegan and which can be made vegan. Their sangria was also lovely. There is a rooftop seating area and a patio, which are very peaceful. Would definitely recommend a visit or two!

Delicious! - Edit
Beautiful outside area. Friendly welcoming staff. Yummy food. I don’t love the idea of a visual menu as I find it a bit wasteful. They did say the use it the next day again however I’m sure it just lands up in the bin after that and that makes me sad. Apart from that - food and ambience great

Vegetarian with many vegan choices in the heart of Cascais - Edit
A visual menu table lets you see exactly what each dish is. The staff explains any that piques your interest and points out which are vegan. A single price for all choices and it comes with a salad on your very large plate.

Disappointing - Edit
The "visual menu" concept seems wasteful and for vegans and people with allergies there are no labels. Also it's kind of stressful to have to choose your food while being watched.
Read moreThe soup I ordered was only lukewarm and very bland. When we asked for hot sauce, it took a while to be delivered and also they don't have chopsticks even though they have dishes with rice noodles.
All in all the food seems overpriced and not the best quality.
However, the location is very cute and well decorated.
