If you’re exploring Chiado, Lisbon’s bustling centre of culture and sightseeing, there’s a delightful vegan spot you won’t want to miss. So healthy and affordable! Tucked away on a charmingly quiet street.

When we arrived just five minutes before the doors opened, we were greeted by a spacious interior filled with lush greenery – a refreshing sight after a day of exploring. We were the first ones in, so we got to enjoy the buffet that was fresh and filled. At just €9.50 for lunch, it’s an absolute steal, I believe this is the cheapest vegan place! but still fresh and yummy and the menu changes daily, so there’s always something new to look forward to.

Starting the Buffet
Although the main dishes weren’t quite read when we arrived, the entrée area was already set up wth some fantastic options. We kicked things off with a variety of olives, salads, creamy vegetable soup and polenta. The fritters were made from chickpea flour for the satisfying golden colour.
So many options!! 
My first platter!
The Main Event
Once we finished out appetisers, the hot dishes started rolling out and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. There was curry, black bean stew, lasagna, asian style noodle, meatballs in tomato sauce and so many more! There was a big variety of selection and all were very good and fresh.

Tea Time
After a satisfying meal, it was time to relax with some tea. In Lisbon, coffee in Portugal is so amazing, but it was hard to find places that have a plant-based option at its cafes. So, I was really excited to have found a cafe that had soy lattes. The taste? It was delicious but also cheaper than a regular coffee – talk about a win-win!
For dessert, I couldn’t resist trying the strawberry cheesecake. It was huge, incredibly tasty and once again, super affordable. The perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal.
Soy latte (€1.50) & strawberry cheesecake (€2.50)! – again, amazing price!
Vegan in Lisbon
Even though the food isn’t your typical Portuguese meals, this emphasis on fresh, vegetable-rich dishes with minimal processed plant-based meals makes this place a gem. The friendly staff and the overall welcoming vibe just add to the experience!
There are plenty of vegan restaurant in Lisbon, but this one stands out for its great value, delicious food and overall charm. If you’re planning a trip to Lisbon. make sure to add this sport to your list. I highly recommend!
