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.

Great food!

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

Located in the center of Lisbon, this restaurant offers revisited gastronomic dishes.
The 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!

The best Restaurant in town

It was absolutely outstanding! The staff was amazing—so friendly, professional, and fun to talk to. They really made me feel welcome. I think I’ll be going there every day now, the food is that good. If I could, I would give 6 stars!

Soberbo!

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!

Pros: Qualidade da comida, Staff, Simpatia e presença do chef

Amazing


It has been a while since I wanted to try this restaurant, and all the good reviews are completely fair.

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

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!

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

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.
