Slightly disappointed

Their menu sounds very fancy and it kind of overwhelmed me with what to choose. Decided on the tofu katsu and was sadly dissatisfied with it. The purple sauce underneath the quinoa made the whole dish quite soggy and the tofu was nothing out of this world.

Delicious food, cool concept

Loved the food here. They pickle, ferment and preserve everything themselves. Their dishes feel healthy-ish, low processed foods with lots of vegetables. The highlights of our meal were the delicious homemade tempeh, their kombucha and the miso butter. I highly recommend eating here.

Pros: Homemade everything!

Genuine passion for their craft

Genuine, fresh, passionate... This restaurant boasts an array of Asian inspired dishes using homemade fermented foods that are high concept, but very affordable.

Every dish we ate employed the fermented products as the star of the show. The dishes felt healthy but bold and flavourful. The staff was charming and sweet.

Extremely recommended.

Special vegan menu

We had different starters and the Gado Gado (amazing tempeh), and could taste the wine before ordering. The food was very good and we enjoyed the evening.

Pros: All vegan , Interesting menu

Delicious Vegan Food with a Great Atmosphere

This place was so romantic! With low lighting and candles at every table. We drank delicious mocktails and cocktails and had meaningful conversations in a private area that seemed just for us! The food was also divine and out of all the places we visited I really wish I could go here again!

O GambuziNO

I was very excited to go there, because of the very positive 5 stars valuations here, but it’s not worth the hype unfortunately. We ordered the Tofu Katsu and Pica Pau (which we never got, well we would have but after we had the main and got the bill). The Tofu Katsu was described as followed: local organic tofu marinated in acorean black tea, panko battered with a brandy and black tea reduction, Portuguese quinoa with nuts, Pak Choi, grapefruit, purple cabbage & orange juice….well very fancy words for just fried tofu with Quinoa in purple sauce with two cauliflower pieces and one piece of grapefruit…
I’m actually quite sad the taste of the meal was ok but that’s it.
The staff was terse and I felt not very cosy there.

This food is ART

I got a vegan bibimbap and my friend got a tofu katsu. The bibimbap had a fake egg yolk, which I’ve never had before and I am quite disgusted by eggs (even vegan ones), but it was so good! My friend loved her katsu, and said it was perfectly crispy. We are both chai tea lovers and were BLOWN away by the chai masala cheesecake.

The waiters were so nice and accommodating, as they took note of my peanut allergy. I am also hard of hearing and they were so patient and reassuring with me. This place is so warm and welcoming.

Pros: Wide variety of options, Warm and welcoming vibe , Indoor and outdoor seating

Cons: Might be a long wait depending on the day

Mildly Disappointing

While I did overall enjoy my meal here I was actually disappointed with the flavors of my meal. Got the bread, gazpacho, scallops, tofu main dish, and a banana caramel dessert and honestly the dessert was the only thing that really had a lot of flavor and I could see myself really wanting again. Presentation was great and good staff. There just weren’t any strong flavors and overall a mildly disappointing meal. Wouldn’t recommend against going there but don’t think it’s a must

Tasty & interesting variety of dishes

Excellent vegan food, beautifully presented. Cosy venue, good service & reasonable prices. It was lovely to go out for a proper 3 course dinner where thought has gone into each course. We had king oyster mushrooms with celeriac purée, radish & dill oil for starters, and the rice flour fried cauliflower. Home made black bean tempeh gado gado with plantain for main. Panna cotta with poached pear & pistachio for dessert. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend!

I definitely recommend trying a starter and the desserts, they’re really worth it.
Homemade ginger beer is divine!
Very welcoming staff!

Best gazpacho ever

This place impressed all my non vegan friends. They all loved the food! My favorite was the gazpacho. So delicious and made with care and love. This is art! The staff is very friendly. If you are in Lisbon you must give it a try. The banofee dessert is to dye for!

Great place for drinks and starters

If you are looking for great drinks, cocktails and delicious starters you won't be disappointed ! This place is worth every penny ! Regarding the main dish, I had the Xerem do mar, it was good but I thought the celery root wasn't the right choice for this preparation. The celery root was very sour and I couldn't appreciate completely the others flavours. Another issue it's some tables are on the path of the bathroom and it's very inconvenient ! ( Don't take the table number 1 !)

World Class Vegan

This tour de force of vegan fare of the world was truly something to behold. Their fusion of flavors and dishes from all over the world, but somehow still keeping their Portuguese roots is something I had never seen before in a fusion style restaurant. I sat facing the kitchen and watched the chefs attention to detail in each plate which made for a magical evening. This restaurant seems to have all staff really caring about their food and is also very knowledgeable. When I read the one review stating this is the BEST vegan food they’ve had after eating at so many vegan restaurants, they’re not lying. Do not miss this restaurant if you’re in Lisbon. (I would also recommend reservations if you going with a larger group because it’s a very initiate space)

Oh yes indeed

One of the best vegan restaurants I’ve ever visited - absolutely top-notch food. If you’re in Lisbon make sure you eat here. If you’re not in Lisbon, travel to Lisbon and eat there, what are you waiting for?

Pros: All vegan!, Absolutely delicious food, really clever , Lovely staff

The most exciting menu I've encountered in a long time

Top-tier vegan dining. We only managed to sample a few of Lisbon's vegan restaurants in our short stay, and they were all good; but O Gambuzino was the best of the bunch by some margin.

I can't remember the last time I felt so excited just reading a menu, and the food itself made good on the promise. Presentation was excellent; taste was heavenly; and the staff were lovely. Highly recommended.

Pros: Taste, Presentation, Staff

Underwhelming

Cocktail of the day - very pretty, the cucumber taste overpowered the rest of the flavors.

Couve-flor Gochujang -- aka Cauliflower. Tasted good but it was too hard/crispy on the outside making it hard to cut and eat.

Bibimbap - it was fine, no more no less.

Tofu Katsu - the tofu itself is great...everything surrounding it not so much. The sauce is very strange and the dish would be better not completely drenched in it.

Based on all the raving reviews we expected something much better.

46€ including water.

Pros: Waiters know English

Cons: A bit pricey compared to the quality of the food, A bit pricey compared to other places we've been

Unique taste, so good!

YOU MUST GO HERE. Finally some creative, flavour rich, traditional vegan dishes. A nice break from the usual burger and pizza places! Staff are lovely, outdoor seating is great even in the evenings.
