A need to go in Lisbon - Edit
The place has a great vibe, as the staff. Some dishes are great, others are ok. But it's super worth it to visit, sit outside and enjoy a good wine with some finger foods. It's possible to taste various dishes

wonderful outdoor seating - Edit
really lovely staff, we didn’t make a reservation and just turned up but they managed to squeeze us in, explaining that they did have a small kitchen and as they were super busy that night things might be slower
Read moreThe seating outside on the steps was wonderful as it was a lovely evening, and we were walked through how they worked by a really lovely server
got our smaller plates first which were very tasty, if slightly small
The risotto i ordered did take a while to arrive, maybe 30 or so minutes after our first things had arrived but that had been explained before
the brownie was the highlight! as a gluten free vegan i always get excited when i can actually eat dessert and this was a very delightful change
Pros: Lovely Food , Wonderful Atmosphere , Friendly Staff
Cons: Slow Service

Delicious vegan tapas style experience - Edit
When visiting Lisbon we were recommended this place by our non-vegan host.
Read moreGood job we reserved a table as it is small but it’s also worth it!
We had their 30 euro taste menu experience which was so good and felt good value for money.

Oldest vegan restaurant in Lisbon - Edit
What a gorgeous little place, fantastic bunch of chefs and wait staff and a lovely setting. We ate inside which was fab but the tapas on the steps looked so sweet too. Would definitely go again. Food was delicious!!

A total disagreement - Edit
I haven’t been this disappointed in a restaurant since before I went Vegan. I put this on our travel itinerary as my number one choice to try in Portugal and I couldn’t be more let down. The troubles they had with the water supply were not the problems we had. We were “recommended” the tasting menu 3 times so we decided to give in. We were told we would get everything on the menu but in small portions. 30 euros each (drinks were additional).
Read moreWe were the first people to arrive, then another table arrived. They got their wine before we got our tea and wine. Then they got their first 2 entrees (decent size) and we were still wanting for our first food item. They were served another entree and we still had no food. 10 mins later we were given a half cup each of lukewarm beetroot soup that was much too salty. More Portuguese people showed up and were given drinks and food right away. At this point we were given a Heart of Palm Croquette the size of a bonbon. It was better than the soup but I honestly can’t tell you about the flavor because I wolfed it down, since I was starving by then. The second table was served their desserts and more wine. 10 mins later we were given a taco the size of one tortilla chip. I had to keep from laughing. I do remember tasting that one, because I was wishing it was the size of an actual taco. At this point, I was done. I asked a server to bring us a full sized entree of ANYTHING. I told him we were starving and needed to get more food or the rest of the “tasting” portions faster. He told me that we were getting them quicker than usual. He said he would bring everything else out at once, like it was a threat. (Please do!) He lied, because it was another 10 mins before we got a Tart sized Phyllo Dough cup.
The 2nd table left and I wish we had. I told our original server to bring us the rest of our food and she brought out the Pea and Mint Risotto (my husband makes better Risotto) and the worse dish of the night, Leek and Strawberry BBQ. Which contained cold and undercooked Leeks and Cauliflower with a sauce that in no way resembled BBQ. As far as food quality. The deserts were the best items. The Lavender did not over power the Lemon in my cake (which is hard to do) and the brownie was rich and had a nice texture. The nut mousse on top really added to it. I would say the tasting menu is a scam to lower food costs and increase profits. We left feeling slighted, angry, disappointed and still hungry.

Cozy and charming - Edit
I came here after visiting Castelo S Jorge and it was cozy, charming, and tasty. My friend and I shared the caprese and hearts of palm appetizers and I got the risotto. All the wines are from Portugal and are organic and/or sustainably grown. Not the most flavorful food I’ve had, but an enjoyable experience!

The best food in Lisbon - Edit
We had the tasting menu & at 30 Euros thought it was excellent value. The wine isn't expensive & they let us try before buying a bottle. The food was delicious - vibrant & full of lots of interesting flavours. As with lots of tasting menus, there wasn't a substantial amount of food so we would have liked bread with it. The restaurant is small so you need to book. An excellent meal

great food, so-so service - Edit
the food is amazing, really, i would go back just for the spinach...
Read moreunfortunately, the service did not match the food. we went there on an extremely rainy day, we arrived 10 minutes after the place was supposed to open up, we were soaking wet, and then we were told that they needed ten more minutes to open up. after a short discussion between two of the waiting staff (one one them was like "you can come in already so you don't have to wait in the rain", the other was like "we're not open yet"), we were allowed to wait in the entrance area so that we don't get wet. i didn't understand why we couldn't at least sit down yet, as the tables were all empty and ready. anyway. we were then given a table, but we were told the kitchen still needed another half hour to open.. alright. i am okay with that. what i am not okay with tho, is that the waiters then sat down themselves and started eating in front of all the guests that were there waiting for the kitchen to open, even though it was way past the official opening hours.
we finally got some food and drinks, and as i said, the food was amazing. unfortunately, the waiting staff kept going outside to smoke (weed). i don't mind, but when i wait that long, and the place is busy, i just don't understand. it's not like they had been working for hours already, i totally get that people need (smoking) breaks, but not if the place just opened up and all the guests are kept waiting.
Pros: the food
Cons: the service

One of the best vegan places in Lisbon - Edit
I went last September to the food temple. It was an amazing experience. The weather was so nice that we could seat outside on the stairs. We order main dishes and dessert. Best banana Crème Brûlée I’ve ever tried! Everything was absolutely delicious. Also the people that work there are super nice and ready to answer any question. I recommend this place 100% 😌 #Veganuary

Update 02/01/2025:
Read moreI went back without reservation and letting them know. Sad I had this bad experience with Christmas. Straight fire if you are into fine dining. Check out the images.
Update review 27/12/2024:
Ahhh, Feliz Natal, pá! As I mentioned before, I showed up for a confirmed reservation for a Christmas dinner, only to find the restaurant closed—no notice, no message, nada. After making the reservation over a month in advance and traveling to Mouraria, a historic but slightly rough-around-the-edges part of Lisbon, on Christmas Day, the experience was deeply disappointing.
Here’s the update: the owner reached out personally to sincerely apologize, explaining that it was due to a system glitch. They even offered a kind gesture—a bottle of wine and a chance to come back for a better experience. While I appreciate the effort and their outreach shows they care, the original experience left a mark that’s hard to overlook.
Pros of the Follow-Up:
1. Sincere apology and acknowledgment of their mistake.
2. A genuine offer to make things right.
3. A reminder that small businesses are run by humans, and mistakes happen.
Original Cons:
1. Lack of communication about the closure still stings, especially on Christmas.
2. Trust needs to be rebuilt, especially after such a significant mishap.
I won’t be taking them up on their offer this time, but I hope they improve their system so no one else has to go through this. Mistakes happen, but how you handle them matters, and they did make an effort here. 🌟
Original review 25/12/2024:
Ahhh, Merry Christmas, mate! So they confirm my reservation on the 15th of November for Christmas dinner today, I show up all ready… and the place is shut! Not a message, not even a “sorry mate, we changed our minds”. Zero, nothing, nada! Just me standing there staring at the door like an idiot. Real classy, huh? Proper Lisbon service at its finest. 🎄 Zero stars lucky for them cause happycow does not allow it

Ein kulinarisches Erlebnis der Extraklasse - Edit
In diesem kleinen, aber feinen Restaurant durfte ich ein 8-Gänge-Tastingmenü genießen, das mich auf ganzer Linie begeistert hat. Jedes Gericht war ein wahres Kunstwerk – sowohl geschmacklich als auch optisch. Die Kombinationen der Aromen waren hervorragend abgestimmt, und die Präsentation der Speisen hätte nicht schöner sein können. Hier merkt man sofort, wie viel Liebe und Leidenschaft in jede einzelne Kreation gesteckt wird.
Read moreDas Personal war durchweg freundlich, aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Man fühlte sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen und hervorragend umsorgt. Die Atmosphäre des Restaurants war angenehm intim und trug dazu bei, dass der Abend zu einem rundum gelungenen Erlebnis wurde.
Ich bin vollkommen zufrieden und kann dieses Restaurant jedem ans Herz legen, der Wert auf außergewöhnliche Kulinarik und erstklassigen Service legt. Eine absolute Empfehlung!
Pros: Essen, Personal, Preise

Lacking just a bit - Edit
In terms of atmosphere and staff - no complaints, had a lovely evening. However some of the food and drinks were lacking something. Cassava mozzarella was pasty. The smoked olives though - literally the best olives I had in my entire life. If I were to give it another go, I’d probably go for the tasting menu.

Great atmosphere, tasteless food - Edit
The restraunt has a great concept and we loved the ambiente! But the food on the current menu was not good at all. It reads and looks very nice but it is lacking some taste. It is all very plain. Maybe a little bit of salt could help… For the price of 28€ for the tasting menu not worth it. The sweets and wines were good though.

Great food and vibe - Edit
I really enjoyed this place. We tried almost everything in the menu and really liked most of it, especially the appetizers. Main dishes are also good, but not to the level of starters. I loved the cauliflower soup, the “mushrum” and the filo. Desserts were also good, highlight being the raw cake. I recommend sitting outside as it’s a great vibe.
