Amazing !!

Such a lovely selection of food I struggled to choose! My favourite was the croquettes but everything was incredibly flavourful. The staff and ambiance were lovely too.

Delicious

Loved it here, the staff were great and the food was delicious. I had the sea bass which was delicious wizardry.

Only critiques were of the price and how mushroom focused everything was. Almost every alternative meat was a mushroom.

Also the street outside could do with some tlc but it is near central Bristol so not sure if that’s unrealistic.

If you want to open a place in the north-west we would welcome you with open arms! 😍

Even my non vegan friends love

The food is so delicious. I have had the vegan chicken both times I have been because it was so goood but I would like to try the rest of their menu. I have taken meat eating friends both times and they have loved the lions mane steak and fake egg. The ambience of the restaurant is also lovely

Amazing vegan Portuguese

So good, the food and service were fantastic! Pastel de nata is great. There is a new fried egg dish which is so realistic too.

From the mouth of the Tagus

A spectacular experience - great atmosphere and fabulous food in the interesting Stokes Croft area of the city. I had the sea bass which was superb

Delicious meal

The Bacalhau à Brás was so savoury and full of flavour and different textures I loved it! The pastel de nata was incredible!

Muito delicioso

Fantastic restaurant! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here, where the food, staff, and ambience were all excellent.

From the creative menu, we had the Carne de Porco (pork and potato), Robalo Fumado (seabass), and Milho Frito (grilled corn), accompanied by a refreshing red sangria, though it could have been a bit stronger.

The Carne de Porco was amazing and not something we would normally order; the use of mushrooms to create those textures was simply stunning. The seabass was also delicious and well seasoned with a true taste of the sea, though the flakiness of the fish was slightly lacking. Still, it was super tasty, and the portion sizes were very generous. We also really enjoyed the grilled corn.

A delicious gin and raspberry cheesecake brought a perfect end to a lovely evening.

Pros: Great food, Staff, Ambience

Amazing vegan food

Loved everything about this restaurant. The drinks, food, decor, atmosphere and staff was epic.

We had steak and eggs and the fable mushroom dish. Alongside pastel de nata cocktail and pastry. Everything was so fresh, tasty and amazing quality.

Would 10000% return and recommend!

Yummy dinner

I went to Plantuguese last week after seeing it pop up a lot on here and I'm very glad I did ... Yummy mains, mine was Bitoque and my old man had the Bife a casa both were made from Lions mane (my first ever!) And were very nice plus chips and sauces... Mine had a cheeky fake egg! We had some lovely Brazilian themed drinks and of course a tarte for pudd....They gave him a free one to take as was his bday. I'd def go back and try something non Lions mane.

Perfect

Went here with my husband for my birthday. He had the Bitoque (Lions Mane steak), and I had the carne de porco. I think mine was the best of the two options, but both were delicious. Mine was incredibly flavourful, and portion size was generous. The bits of "pork" were so meaty and tasty. I had a white wine and my husband had a green wine and both were very good. Finished up with custard tarts, which were unbelievably delicious. Warm and sweet and creamy. Yum! Staff were really lovely, too. Perfect!

Very satisfying

Visited with my mum (vegan) and my grandma (not vegan). All three of us were really pleased with the meal, which is rare!

Thoroughly enjoyed my peri-peri chicken: sauce had the right amount of heat, my chips were perfectly crispy, and the corn on the cob was perfect.

They had the sea bass and some Portuguese dish with cod and string potatoes. The latter was the most unique and a little bit oily for my tastes but my Mum loved it.

The pasteis de nata were absolutely fantastic- proper crispy pastry crusts.

All of the staff were also extremely sweet, calling us a taxi and then inviting us to sit down and serving us mint water when it got a bit delayed. Will definitely be back next time we're in Bristol.

Pros: Dishes were very enjoyable and something different, Pretty locale, Extremely friendly staff

Exceptional

Great food, delightful staff, and a menu packed with choice.

We went for lunch and with service, a shared starter, main course, four drinks and pastel de nata paid £60.

Slight disappointment that they had run out of Lion's Mane mushroom after a very busy night before, but we still had plenty to choose from.

Highly recommended.

Pros: Lots of choice, Pastel de nata, Carne de porko

Cons: No Lion's Mane available :-(

So good!!

We got a Plantuguese takeaway from their old spot and thought it was great but not amazing - but ate at their new place last night and it was sooo good!! Their most popular dishes were sold out (always a good sign!) so we’ll have to go back to try those - but everything else we tried was delicious 🤤 and as always some of their amaaazing pastel de natas for the road (or pocket de natas as we like to call them) 💛

Unusual to see a vegan Portuguese restaurant. I didn't really know what Portuguese food was, but most dishes are fake seafood based.

Exceptional.

Claims to be the UK’s only Portuguese fully vegan restaurant. The service and ambience of the restaurant is great: hospitality how it should be; friendly staff, attentive, useful! The flavours are great. I don’t know Portuguese food much but they have veganised them. On the whole the dishes are quite meaty in texture and heavy. All the drinks are completely vegan too.

Lovely people and food. Must visit.

Top choice in Bristol

Great food, service and atmosphere. We loved the jugs of sangria, the faux mangerie cheeses, we preferred the "pork" to the "beef" dishes, but both are good.
Pastel de nata is, of course, a must and we loved the cheesecake too.
Definitely a top, top choice, when in Bristol.

Pros: Great food, Atmosphere, Location

Amazing Experience

We were really excited to visit this place and we were completely blown away by it. The food we got was very very good and the portion sizes were generous. A really nice mix of everything. Main highlights included the fried egg & pastel de nata.

The staff were very friendly and the place had a great atmosphere.

Delicious, creative food

I had the steak, chips and fried egg, and the pastel de nata with softserve. Everything was delicious and the staff were friendly. I'd recommend booking, they were super busy for a mid week evening (as they should be).

Just wow!

We were so excited to try this place and were not disappointed. We found it on Happy Cow on our visit to Bristol at the end of June. We rang ahead and spoke to Tiago on the phone and we were lucky that there was a table available for us at relatively short notice. Izzy showed us to our table and looked after us during our stay and was super helpful, friendly and genuinely excited for us to try out this place. The food was just incredible. We always liked tapas but since going vegan really missed things like croquettes and also Portuguese Natas! The croquettes were to die for and the drumsticks were also super yummy. We both had the Lions Mane Steak as a main course with different sauces and sides and it was incredible! The chips that come with it are also super nice. We sat at a table relatively close to the kitchen and were able to see some of the other dishes as well and everything looked fantastic. We had a quick chat with the chef Kit as well who was super friendly and excited for us try their Pastel de Natas from their desert section. A typical Portuguese custard tart which was super delicious. All in all we were so glad to be able to try this gem of a Vegan restaurant in the heart of Bristol. If we find ourselves in Bristol again we will definitely be back!
