Great flavors

This was a lovely find during a grey and rainy day in Porto. Vumo means smoke in Portuguese. They experiment with flavors and create unique dishes. I had Reuben sandwich - tasty and filling. But I was blown away by the chocolate mousse with brownie base and crumbs on top. They had smoked the chocolate which added an incredible flavor. Highly recommended.

Pros: Reuben sandwich, Smoked chocolate dessert, Great atmosphere

New-ish vegan eatery on the block

I learnt my lesson with making sure I got to this place before the crowds on a Saturday night. If you're looking for a chilled and relaxed vibe with cozy seating this is the place. The food was oozing with flavours and couldn't see how it could be improved. I eat out only occasionally so I'm happy to pay more for high quality food and support vegan independent eateries. Especially as these were just within a year of trading. If you're travelling on a limited budget and eating out for all your meals this may not be within your meal budget!
Menu in English and Portuguese. Thomas the owner is also super sweet.

Experiência de sabores única!

Um ambiente super cool e cozy! Ia com expectativas e foram superadas! Pedimos o humus e uma sandes! O humus foi o melhor que já provei!

Tudo preparado com muito amor, sabor, o gosto incrível fumado! Irei voltar mais vezes!

Dark and moody

Trapsed up the hill wondering where we were going. Nearly walked past this dark place! Interesting moody dark and atmospheric interior. Cool music and vibe. Delicious food. I had the borscht soup and Rubin sandwich and a gorg glass of red. Would return if there weren’t so many other vegan places to try and do little time! Highly recommended.

Incredible

I came here with my colleagues from work, and Tobias and his wife were super friendly. We had the entire place for ourselves!

We tried many different dishes. Some of our dishes include: Reuben sandwich, courgette, hummus, txorizo cajun, batatas, pintxos, etc.

The place was charming and very cosy.

Phänomenal!

Köstliches authentisches orientalisches Abendessen (Bohnensuppe, Baba Ganoush und Hummus mit Fladenbrot) im heimeligen Wohnzimmer eines deutschen Antiquitätenhändlers voller Kuriositäten 😁

As melhores experiências gastronómicas de sempre

(Re)apresento-vos uma novidade deliciosa que aportou à cidade do Porto há uns meses, trazendo consigo uma brisa fresca de sabores e criatividade.
Os génios visionários por detrás deste empreendimento são os estimados amigos Juliana e Thomas, já conhecidos pelo seu sucesso anterior à frente do saudoso "7 Maravilhas", uma pérola que infelizmente foi fechada em 2020 devido aos desafios da pandemia.

Mas deixemos o passado para trás e concentremo-nos na novidade estonteante que é o "VÜMO". Um nome que dança entre as sílabas, rimando com "fumo" e evocando um sentimento de exploração audaciosa, este novo projeto gastronómico está enraizado num conceito revolucionário.
Situado na cidade do Porto, "VÜMO" desafia os limites do paladar com uma gama única de sabores explorados através de um inovador uso do fumeiro - um tributo ao sabor intenso do fumeiro português, porém aplicado de forma criativa a diversos ingredientes. Aqui, o céu é o limite.

A associação com a dieta vegana pode ser inevitável dada a sonoridade do nome, mas @vumo.porto vai muito além disso. Ao mesmo tempo que sugere a palavra "vegano", também remete para um novo "rumo" de experiências culinárias.

Este é um convite para todas as preferências alimentares, um banquete que cativa os paladares de todos os curiosos por novas emoções gastronómicas.

E claro, o espetáculo de sabores é acompanhado por uma seleção de cervejas, vinhos, sumos e fermentados que surpreenderá até os paladares mais exigentes.

Juliana e Thomas, outrora clientes na minha anterior empresa de distribuição de cervejas, tornaram-se amigos íntimos através do círculo que partilhamos. Observar a sua jornada tem sido um prazer, e é com grande alegria que dedico este post à sua nova conquista.

Por isso, convido todos a mergulharem nesta experiência incrível. Amigos, conhecidos e até desconhecidos, estão todos convidados a explorar "VÜMO", um local onde os sabores ganham vida e a presença calorosa de Juliana e Thomas eleva a experiência a algo verdadeiramente especial.

Pros: Simpatia, Comida , Decoração

Amazing food and owners

My first experience of a vegan restaurant in Portugal and couldn’t have been better! Food was absolutely delicious and very unique as everything is smoked, so nice I had to return the next day when they had prepared a special menu for Festa de São João, which again was incredible😊 owners are so lovely and chatty, I couldn’t recommend this place more! Am already looking forward to returning on my next visit to Porto❤️

Good, but can be better

Nice atmosphere, nice music, ok food.
Tried the garlic potatoes, the bun burger and the aubergine.
Everything was ok, but it can be done better and I found it a bit overpriced for what I got.
Recommended if you like craft beer.

Smoked food and dark decor

The couple who owns Vumo is very very nice and welcoming. We tried the eggplant, the potatoes and the bun. The potatoes and bun were good, the bun had a seitan burger, looked they made it themselves, in a tiger bun. A bit spicy for those who like that. The eggplant dish I didn't like at all..in my opinion was just mush...would be better with some crunch inside the dish itself.
For dessert we had a typical middle eastern dessert. With cheese and filo pastry. Taste was good, but sad presentation and small portion of ice cream.
The environment is nice and different. Quite German style bar.

We really loved this place. The food was exceptional, we particularly enjoyed the hummus and cauliflower main course. Every dish had a smokey theme even the ice cream! The owners were really friendly and helpful. We wish them every success in the future, they deserve it.

Excellent smokey food

We hadn’t booked but the man that runs Vumo was very accommodating and wanted to make sure we could still get a table. I would definitely book next time. There was a selection of smoked foods on the menu. We ordered the Ruben sandwich and the whole grain bun. The sandwich was very tasty! The whole grain bun was very flavoursome, just a little wet when bitten into. A friend’s order came out a little later than the rest but teething problems are to be expected in a new restaurant. Would definitely go back if I were to come to Porto again.

Smokey goodness

First off I would advise booking as you may miss out.
For only being open 6 weeks at the time of our visit there were a couple of teething issues but the gent who runs Vümo was really great and accommodating.
The food is really good, everything is smoked here which if you liked smoked food you can’t go wrong.
A relatively small menu but done well

We had Potato’s and “Txorizo” as a small plate starter. The “Ruben” and “Bun” as a main. The “Ruben” was outstanding.

All in all a good visit well worth the walk just outside the main town.

Pros: Smoked food, Great staff, Nice aesthetic

Cons: May need to book

Excellent food

We were so happy that we found this place last minute on HappyCow and decided to cancel our other reservation to have dinner at VÜMO instead. It was definitely one of the best meals of our trip to Portugal. The idea of 100% vegan smokehouse is absolutely amazing, and it's been executed so well! Everything we tried we loved instantly: smoked beetroot tartar, chorizo with chimichurri, reuben sandwich, hummus with smoked cauliflower & dukkah, zucchini rolls with smoked ricotta, everything was so delicious! The owners are so friendly and really passionate about their food. We also loved the vibe - the place has a great atmosphere with music being played from the records. Absolutely great experience.

Pros: Amazing smoky food, Great atmosphere and music, Did I mention they have great food? 😅
