Nice food - Edit
We enjoyed our trip to Kong - it was great to try traditional Portuguese dishes. I had the francesinha and my husband had the ribs. The food was nice, but not outstanding. My husband thought the seitan was too soft and lacked texture. The service was good and the surroundings were nice.

Tasty food - Edit
Ordered the croquettes to start with and shared them with my bf. Smaller than expected but tasty; full of flavour. We both ordered the vegan ribs with mash and both very much enjoyed it all. For dessert we ordered the nata tart with nata ice cream (yum!) like a warm hug. And the pistatio gateau with pistatio ice cream; nice but very rich! I’d definitely recommend the vegan ribs and the nata for dessert.

Very good vegan food but - Edit
We had two portions of the ribs, the croquettes and the cuttlefish, but we felt there were better alternatives in Lisbon to this. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I think the real problem is that it’s made out to be the best vegan restaurant in europe, which I think might be a stretch.

AMAZING! - Edit
I must say that you NEED to get the vegan ribs, the best dish they have. the sauce, the mashed potatoes, the veggies and the seitan are absolutely perfect. And get the nata tart as a dessert.
Read moreWe also tried the salmon. It wasn’t the best I’ve tried in my life but it was great if you eat it with the sauces and everything else.
The cod with cream was also very very good, but it was really hard to enjoy this other dishes after trying the vegan ribs. But it’s nice to try vegan versions of tradicional Portuguese dishes.
The restaurant is beautiful and the staff lovely.

Fantastic restaurant! - Edit
Second time visiting (June 2022). Now different location and menu. Waitstaff, atmosphere, music were all fantastic. We really appreciate the improved menu. I would say that the cod was better than the steak/egg, but it was nice too! Loved the Nutella cake dessert. We got the sangria with berries, but there was so much ice that the value of the beverage was diminished.

Tasty and beautiful - Edit
I ate the croquettes and the salmon. The croquettes are expensive for their quantity but they are tasty. The salmon plate was beautiful and delicious, the tofu really tasted a bit like sea, and the spinach and blue sauce were really good. The service was fast (i came at lunch around 2 tho) and the restaurant is spacious. I'd come back!

Delicious and beautifully presented food - Edit
All the dishes were a flavor bomb. The tofu 'salmon' dish is beautifully presented, as is the pistachio dessert topped with gold leaf. That dessert was very, very small and arguably overpriced for what it was, but so good!

Absolutely delicious - Edit
Gorgeous restaurant. I had the Bitoque, the “cod” with cream, and the Mediterranean “salmon.” Out of those, I would say the one you can’t miss is the Mediterranean. It’s beautiful. If you can go with multiple people and share plates, that would be ideal!

Best vegan restaurant in Lisbon !! - Edit
You must visit Kongs if you’re visiting Lisbon .., the food is absolutely stunning !! There is such a good selection , but the vegan steak and fried egg is by all means a must try !! Great ambience, friendly staff, great location , good price ! We went on a Sunday (they’re open on Sundays despite description currently saying otherwise)…

Bland, bland, bland - Edit
We had the cod in cream sauce, the salmon, the meatballs, and the soup. The soup tasted like watery gravy, no real flavor to speak of. The cod had a comforting texture but also no flavor, just soft tofu and boiled potatoes. It came with an inexplicably dry, undressed salad of which about half was raw shredded onion. The salmon, finally, had some acidity in its sesame seed crust, but the potato pavé it came with was dry and bland despite the shreds of cheese baked on top. It also had a bright blue sauce which was visually striking but tasted, again, like nothing. The meatballs were pretty good, and their mayonnaise sauce did have some lemon juice.

Merece mucho la pena - Edit
Pone en la puerta que es el segundo mejor del mundo, no sé si será verdad pero merece la pena el viaje para comer aquí. Hacen comida portuguesa tradicional y el precio es razonable para la calidad de los platos y para la zona. Los camareros son majísimos y algunos hablan español. El local es muy bonito además y es bastante grande así que no nos hizo falta reservar, pero igual en temporada alta sí es necesario. Recomiendo mucho las croquetas y el choco frito < 3

Excellent traditional Portuguese food - Edit
What a pleasure to find a vegan restaurant offering some traditional cuisine!
Read moreI couldn't have anything but the "bacalhau com natas" and it was just delicious!
I highly recommend tasting the "croquetes" as a starter. If I wasn't sure the place wasn't fully vegan I would have thought they'd served me a starter with meat haha. The taste was really amazing and similar to the traditional one with alheira.
The dessert was a must as well.
