Simply incredible! - Edit
Kong totally wowed us. We had cauliflower wings and croquettes to start which were tasty and plentiful, but the big wow factor came from the ‘steak and egg’ dish, served with a side of rice, salad and fries (a very generous portion too!). Honestly incredible. This was so tasty and a really cool concept for me. We concluded with the Nutella cake and the parfait for dessert – I highly recommend the parfait, what an amazing combination of mango and chocolate. Definitely go if you’re in Lisbon. I hope to return someday.

Impressed this non-vegan! - Edit
I am not a vegan and I’m also an adventurous eater, and Kong has straight-up delicious food. We shared 5 dishes (three starters and two desserts): croquettes, “cheese” board, pica pau, pineapple carpaccio, and the pistachio petit gateau. All were amazing!
Read morePros: Pica pau was my favorite! Best seitan ever, Croquettes were as good as top-tier non-veg ones, Petit gateau is like a pistachio lava cake
Cons: Service was friendly but a bit slow (busy time)

Glad we went back - Edit
We wanted to visit this restaurant on our first day in lisbon but it was closed despite online it saying something different. We went back spontaniously on our last day and well, im happy we did!
Read moreThe whole interior and decoration is abolutely beautiful. This place looks impressive and feels more like a whole experience. My friend had a franceshina and I only had two starters, but they were more than enough. The croquetas were so crispy and well flavoured. I even started to eat the sourdough bread with the sauce they came with. Speaking of the sourdough, it made my german heart extremely happy. Im pretty sure it was the best bread I had while in portugal. Even though I only had a small meal, I was still super full (thanks to the olive oil) and happy. I would have hated to miss this!

5-star service - Edit
The food was delicious, but what truly impressed us was the service. With just two staff members managing the entire restaurant, they were incredibly professional—fast, efficient, and completely in control. They served with a smile, carried multiple dishes with ease, and took the time to clearly explain each item to guests. It was impressive to watch and made the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable.

Such a vibe! - Edit
The food was amazing. Great atmosphere and super nice people. I had the croquettes as an appetizer and the mushroom risotto as the main course. I loved both choices. I did not have a reservation and it was a busy Friday night. Everyone was so nice and they got me a table quickly. I would definitely recommend this spot if you’re in Lisbon!

Unbeschreiblich gut - Edit
Wir waren 2mal dort, und kein mal wurden wir enttäuscht. Das Essen schmeckt sehr lecker. Wenn auch für meinen Geschmack etwas zu knoblauchlastig. Kong gehört jetzt auf jeden Fall zu meinen Top 3 veganen Restaurants.

Great food! - Edit
The food was great! I had the croquets and the vegan cod, both were lovely. The servers were incredibly nice and the atmosphere was good. I travel alone a lot and was pleasantly surprised to find two other people dining alone in my section 😊

One of the best restaurant, I tested - Edit
Located in the center of Lisbon, this restaurant offers revisited gastronomic dishes.
Read moreThe very floral setting, with a green wall, is welcoming, as are the waiters and the chef, who asks for the opinion of every customer at his table, which I greatly appreciate.
I tasted :
- Their version of Portuguese croquettes, a delight with an excellent mustard mayonnaise.
- Mediterranean "salmon" with tofu, sesame, spinach and au gratin potatoes. A plate with an impressive circular presentation and an excellent taste of vegetable salmon!
- A chocolate cake with red fruit ice cream, beautifully presented!
In short, a fine gastronomic menu with a perfect welcome at one of Lisbon's finest restaurants!

Simplesmente o melhor restaurante vegan que fui na vida. A simpatia e o caráter intimista com que o chef se dirige aos clientes com preocupação constante com o seu bem estar é de uma raridade incrível! Sempre atentos aos pormenores!

Great food, lovely place, and great staff! The chef comes to all the tables to talk to everyone. The choco frito and the entrecosto were absolutely delicious—one of the best vegan meals I’ve had in years.
I will definitely come back!!!

Authentic Portuguese Flavors — 100% Plant-Based - Edit
As a vegan, I was thrilled to have the chance to experience traditional Portuguese dishes made entirely plant-based. I can happily say I was not disappointed! They truly value quality over quantity — the menu isn’t extensive, but every dish is thoughtfully crafted. I highly recommend trying the croquettes and the bitoque!
