Outstanding food and ambience! - Edit
This upscale, fully vegan fine dining restaurant did not disappoint us - every dish we had was super tasty and extremely well presented! Each dish was a carefully composed pallette of different, complementary flavours. Staff was friendly and welcoming, and the wine selection was good as well. Not to mention the stylish atmosphere of the place!
Read moreThe only downside for us was the fact that several dishes and drinks we chose weren't available that night. The waitress told us they were short on staff that day, so maybe it was just bad luck. It's not a big deal as everything we had was absolutely delicious. They even surprised us with the desert we wanted, although we had initially been told it wasn't available that day - they made it to order just for us! We would come dine here again any time!!
Pros: Food quality, Atmosphere, Friendly staff

Excellent food - Edit
Excellent and beautifully presented food. We also appreciated the staff, who were very polite and kind. The dishes we loved the most were the risotto with lime and asparagus, and the chocolate mousse. Will definitely come back here on our next visit to Porto.

Good but not great. - Edit
All vegan menu with options such as a seitan Wellington, a cashew cream gnocchi and asparagus and lime risotto. All very tasty but for a vegan only restaurant there were limited main course options. Having said that, everything tasted good and we had no room left for dessert. Varied drink menu as well. The Happy Cow app (and their menu) suggested they also had a pizza menu - this no longer appears to be the case. When asked for the pizza menu, the waitress said the main menu was all they had which was disappointing as I was excited to try their pizza. Don’t waste your money on the corn ribs - they were basically a third of an ear of corn with barbecue flavor.
Read morePros: Good depth of flavor , Service
Cons: Minimal menu

A Hidden Gem of Culinary Artistry in Porto - Edit
Read moreIf you think vegan cuisine is limited to salads and tofu, this place will absolutely blow your mind. Dining here was not just a meal — it was an unforgettable journey of creativity, flavor, and craftsmanship.
Each dish felt like a small, edible artwork, crafted with passion and bold imagination.
Even the desserts were astonishing — the dark chocolate avocado mousse with pink peppercorns and sea salt was daring, yet perfectly balanced.
Whether you are vegan or not, this restaurant deserves a visit for the sheer brilliance and flavor of its creations.

One of my favorite places we tried in Porto - Edit
We had the corn ribs, which I'd highly recommend as a starter. I had the wellington, which was also pretty good, but could have had a bit more sauce (I like to drown my food in sauce). But I regretted my choice when I tasted the "scallops" & okra my girlfriend ordered, so many different flavors in one dish, it truly was a culinary journey. Drinks were also good! 20€ for a main dish also doesn't seem expensive for a "$$$" rating, especially considering some other places charge ~15€ for a toast.

Best restaurant in Porto - Edit
This was not just the best meal we had in Porto, but one of the best meals we’ve EVER had. Every single dish was EXQUISITE - taste and presentation perfection. The staff were, even by Porto’s extremely high friendly standards, the friendliest loveliest people with the wonderful chef coming out to give us a demonstration of the incredible sugar cage on the apple tart! The restaurant itself is elegant and welcoming - I could not recommend more highly. If you go to one place, go here. Everything was perfection.

High end vegan cuisine - Edit
Loved this restaurant and their concept. The food is superb, mostly based on vegetables and their flavors, but you won't miss anything. The profile and ingredient combination seems simple but it's very well thought through. Most of their preparations are homemade like the seitan or tapenade.
Read moreOnly downside to me were the desserts, which were not really appealing to me, but everything else, we loved!
Pros: Beautiful place, Delicious food
Cons: Could improve the dessert selection

Up to snuff - Edit
Expectations were very high for the most recommended restaurant in Porto. Happy to say it delivered!
Read moreFlavorful dishes that portrayed the potential of plant based cooking and put vegetables and mushrooms in the spotlight.
I loved their homemade truffle vegan butter, as well as the mega flavourful Mushrooms & Gravy dish with grilled greens. Service was very friendly and the restaurant had a nice, tranquil atmosphere.

Not worth it - Edit
This really isn’t worth the hype, food was terrible, service not great and whole atmosphere rubbish. The corn starter wasn’t even a whole cob! The artichoke dish I couldn’t eat most of it as was the inedible leaves! My partner had the wellington which I tired and was awful. They didn’t ask how the meal was otherwise would have said. Had much very meals in Porto. This is not good vegan food.
