Simply incredible!

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.

Köstliches Essen / Bester Seitan in Lissabon

Wir waren einmal zum Abendessen dort. Die Location / die Einrichtung hat uns gut gefallen. Die Lage des Restaurants ist gut zu erreichen (auch mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln, zu Fuß). Am frühen Abend ist auch ein Tisch ohne Reservierung möglich. Als Hauptgang hatten wir Francesinha und Bitoque. Beides sehr lecker. Ich habe dort den besten Seitan seit langem gegessen. Der Käse bei der Francesinha hat super geschmeckt. Die pikante Sauce hätte schärfer sein können. Zum Nachtisch gab es Tarte de Nata und es war sehr leckeres Eis dabei. Der Service war gut. Das Essen kam zügig zum Tisch und war schön angerichtet. Der Preis ist der Qualität des Essens angemessen. Empfehle ich gerne weiter.

Pros: Location / Einrichtung / Service, Preise, Qualität der Speisen

Fantastic

Five of us ate here this week – two vegans, one vegetarian and two omnis. Everyone loved their food. Between us, we had the pica pau, croquettes, cuttlefish, francesinha, risotto, bacalhau com nata, parfait and tarte de nata, all of it was delicious. It's great to be able to try vegan versions of classic Portuguese dishes.

The staff were lovely and the prices are incredibly reasonable for such great food in central Lisbon. We'll definitely be back.

Pros: delicious food, lovely staff, good prices

Had a quick lunch here and it was perfect for us. The chef came to our table to ask if we liked the food. Everything was delicious. Would recommend the vegan cuttlefish starter!

Absolute must visit

Wow, what incredible food. My meal was so fantastic i had to return the following day to try more! The croquettes and the 'cod' were the highlight for me but everything I tried was delicious. So inventive and so much flavour. The staff were wonderful and the food was very reasonably priced. A must visit!

Delicious and highly creative interpretations of traditional Portuguese food. We had the Francesinha, Bacalhau com Natas and Tarte de Nata com Gelado de Pastel de Nata. Chef also gave us a taste of “snickers”. Everything was amazing! Comfortable and fun space and staff. Highly recommend for vegan and non vegans.

Pros: Food, Chef Vitali and service , Environment

Incredible

Not sure what to say but wow! Had three starters of the fried fish, bruschetta and croquettes. Bruschetta stood out, so tasty. Then mains were Francesinha and the Bitoque. The steak/egg and sides was absolutely incredible. Best meal I’ve had in ages! I couldn’t get over the egg yolk in particular- gobsmacked! Then parfait to finish. Loved it and would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Pros: Nice place, Amazing food, Friendly staff

delicious Portuguese traditional food with a vegan twist



An incredible meal ! Everything was seasoned to perfection. From starter with Portuguese Croquettes and Fried ‘Cuttlefish' to Francesinha and Portuguese ‘Cod’ with Cream. We really enjoyed the dishes.


Just the desserts were a bit disappointing, especially the tarte de nata which was very bland and tasteless.

Great food, great service, great value

Has a great meal here tonight. We went in pretty late without a booking and they seated us
happily. Very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
We had the sandwich and the seitan steak, followed by the pineapple carpaccio and Nutella cake. The food came out fast. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. Staff were all very friendly, helpful and seemed to take great pride in their work. I can see why this place gets such good reviews. Would highly recommend.

Really amazing

A really great restaurant. The staff is so professional and very kind.
The food was really amazing. I loved it.
We had reserved online and had said that it was for a birthday so we got a candle on the dessert.
The prices were absolutely okay, even though it is a nice and fancy restaurant.
I really loved it!!

Something different

I had the fake cheese with jam, their weird sandwich covered with sauce and the parfait as dessert. I had the opportunity of tastino something different and tipical of the portuguese cuisine, really appreciated. I would just suggest to balance more chocolate and mango in the parfait, because the chocolate was strong. Anyway everything was delicious.

amazing food and service

this place was awesome, it was almost like a fine dining atmosphere, but with regular prices. the staff was super nice and attentive.
i recommend making a reservation, we got the right when it opened and we were lucky to get a table, after like 10 minutes, the place was packed.

Pros: food, service, prices

Fairly good but maybe slightly overated

I had the seitan steak which was okay. I heard the other dishes are better. The Nutella cake was really good though.
