Cascais- vegetarian place

We had the burger and curry, both taste amazing. We like spicy so we asked for extra hot sauce. Their food is vegetarian, make sure you ask them to make it vegan for you. Very tasty. Staff are friendly and professional.

Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere

Lovely vegetarian / vegan place with a rooftop terrace and healthy wholesome food. Very unique experience where it is a visual menu, which helps to see exactly what is put in each dish. It would have helped for them to have labels or something next to it though; as when it gets busy the servers would have to repeat things often or you have to wait a while to be explained how the process all works. Really colourful food and cool atmosphere. Lunch costs €12.75 where you can order one big dish eg. Buddha bowl, sushi platter, shakshuka, or a smaller ‘main’ with your choice of salad-y accompaniment on the plate. At least half of the menu is vegan or can be made vegan (eg just without the cheese on top).

Great experience

The establishment is so charming with the 2 rooftops, and the staff is very sweet and kind. They present all of their menu in a table and say to “choose with your eyes”, but when I asked if anything was vegan, they explained to me with very much detail and told me every possible option. I’d say eating here is a whole experience combining the amazing views of Cascais (which I discovered that very same day and loved) and amazing food which is healthy and fulfilling.

Passionate owner and staff and most beautiful food I have ever seen

This place is amazing, I can't find the right words to describe the masterpiece that every dish is. It is much more than food, it is food-art.
The owners and the staff shares the passion for veganism/vegetarian food. Every vegetarian dish could be changed into vegan.
We felt like we were witnessing something special just by looking at the dishes. You eat with your eyes.
The food was delicious.
We totally forgot to take pictures.....

Pros: Beautifully presented, everything looked good, Delicous food, Outstanding service.

Nice location, innovative idea with the visual menu.

Staff was very nice and helpful. Fun idea with the visual menu! Staff was very knowledgable and told us what everything was and what plates you could combine.

Mostly vegetarian but also vegan options. No vegetarian wine though!

The dahl was okay but served luke-warm. My friends loved the pie though!

Pros: Nice location, Knowledgable staff, Good ambiance

Cons: Cold food, Few vegan options, No vegetarian wine

Great vibe, healthy meal

Great experience here. Visual menu was neat. Host was informative and took his time explaining each dish to us, including what could be made vegan. Everything was delicious. I had the Buddha protein bowl, my omnivore husband had the mushroom crepe and soup. Also nice to have a creative healthy meal instead of vegan junk food which has become so popular nowadays.
There are three seating areas on three different levels. Rooftop has a nice view. The ‘garden’ was quaint with a bohemian vibe. We also shared a pitcher of rose sangria which basically becomes a fruit salad once you drink it all. We would both go back.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great vibe , Fresh, healthy food

Good option for vegans

Staff is very familiar with vegan options. The food was very tasty and filling. Loved all the veggies that you could order with it. The fresh juices were nice too, the yellow one tastes very sweet. I liked it more than the orange one since that had a bit too much ginger in it for my taste. Wish I could have tried the vegan coconut cake but was not allowed to order it with the main meal because of fear of food waste, which I thought was a bit odd. Afterwards we felt it was too inconvenient to order it so we moved on. But I still longed for it since it looked so good...💔 For some the visual menu could give you ordering anxiety if you are bad at choosing from multiple good options "under pressure".

Good but they need more vegan options

I went there twice in a row for breakfast and for lunch and I would have returned afain if they had more vegan options apart from the salads and what I tried. For the dessert there are more vegan options but for lunch and breakfast many items have eggs and cheese :(

Pros: Nice garden and terrace , Healthy food

Cons: Pricey , Not enough vegan options

Cool funky vibe, friendly staff, food just ok Rooftop patio!

Food concepts are neat and if done right could be really awesome, but the execution was poor. Quality control of the food was lacking. When fresh veggies and fruits are the star, they must be impeccably fresh and sadly this was not the case. This was my second time here (2019 first, 2022 second) and my first time we had cooked entrees which were just okay, nothing to write home about. This time we got salads which had fruit topping. Although the baked falafel was fine, the greens weren't sorted therefore had slimy bits throughout the big salad, the apples were browning and the oranges were slimy/questionable. Also they include cheese in my vegan requested salad 😨. The staff were super friendly and handled it well (said a refrigerator problem?) and although we sent the food back, they comped our wine. A kind gesture. Nice place for a drink but I don't think I'll try the food again, sadly. I really wanted to love their food because they are really a funky-cool place in so many ways, besides the food.

Pros: All vegetarian, some vegan/mostly modified, Friendly staff, remedied complaints w/no hassle , Nice, funky vibe on rooftop with lots of plants!

Cons: Salads had some slimy greens , Fruit on salad was old, questionable , Vegan salad had cheese, forgot order was vegan

Incrível!!

Adorei este restaurante! A comida tinha um aspeto incrível (e sabia ainda melhor!), feita à base de legumes frescos em pratos bem servidos.
Tanto o conceito como o ambiente do restaurante são ambos fantásticos e a staff, apesar de nem todos falarem português, foram muito atenciosos e simpáticos.

O único contra é que o restaurante era definitivamente muito caro (quase 17€ por uma entrada e um prato principal). Um restaurante para voltar em ocasiões especiais😄

Pros: Muitas opções vegan, Vibe check 👌, Comida ótima e muito saudável

Cons: Caro!!

Beautiful place!

Our visit was great. The staff was amazing, friendly and very patient when it came to describing all the options that can be veganized (there were two other parties coming after us who were also asking about vegan options). Vegans will have no issues eating here. We chose the outside seating that was really cute. If you like cozy mismatching tables and chairs surrounded by plants, you will love this place as well. We ordered their mango juice, wrap and burger coming with veggies, quinoa etc. as sides and the cake. We enjoyed everything that we have been served but the cake was dry, so we didn't finish it. If we are in the area, we will most likely be back. Highly recommended!

Brought colour to our evening

This eatery holds the element of surprise with an unusual order with your eyes concept and a staircase leading through a few floors up to an impressive rooftop terrace. Quirky decor including an oar used as a handrail painted with the words 'life is a voyage'. Entering the terrace is like wandering into paradise with pretty views of Cascais in the sunshine, good beats and happy holiday vibes all around!

Pros: delicious food, friendly service, healthy juices and snacks

Lovely food and vibe

Really lovely colourful restaurant in central Cascais. Have previously read a review which stated that the ‘House of Wonders’ is the place to be which I definitely agree. Sat outside on the rooftop balcony. Lovely chilled Saturday night vibe - colourful plates and great food. Different concept of picking with your eyes.

Pros: Pick with your eyes, Colourful plates, Near the beachfront

Cons: Annoying customers sitting next to us

Beautiful seating, amazing food, very much worth it!

We went for lunch here and it was amazing. The seating areas outside were beautifully and colorfully decorated. There was a garden but we sat on the rooftop with a beautiful view. You have to order downstairs where a nice lady explains the options and which are vegan or can be made vegan. Every plate is fixed price €11,75. I chose the vegan sushi platter which was 10/10 delicious. We also had a delicious juice mix for €4. The food came quickly and the staff was very friendly. Best food I’ve had during my stay so far! Go here if you’re in Cascais!
