This was my second time after I had a fantastic meal here a few years ago and it was as good as I remembered! About half the dishes are vegan and the flavours are perfect. We had the crispy BBQ cauliflower (good crunch on these and well cooked), the dumplings (delicious sauce) and the moqueca with rice as our main (another great sauce!). We split everything and it was still plenty of food - we left too stuffed for dessert! We had the house wine as well (one red, one white) and both were tasty. Nice ambiance and good service. Highly recommend!

Our favourites are the dumplings and the cauliflower. We’ve never been to a better vegan restraurant and we already went twice, the service is so nice too! We can definitely recommend!

This vegetarian restaurant, had number of vegan options - on a clearly labelled menu. The food was well presented and fully of flavour. Well worth a visit.

We weren't planning to eat here but were in the neighbourhood without other plans and thought we'd give it a go. We weren't expecting that much given the focus on KFC in reviews of the place that we'd seen and the fact that we aren't especially in to fast food but (a) the KFC is genuinely very good and (b) there's way more on offer here, too. We also really enjoyed the beet and mango tartare and the moqueca was nice too. Our seven-year old dining companion was a big fan of the vegan sticky toffee pudding and "icecream" which was very good, if a shade sweet for my personal taste. Great ambience, very reasonable pricing and really friendly staff made it a really enjoyable experience for us all.

Nice food but nothing special, overpriced for what you get. Curry I had was basic and lukewarm.

While not entirely vegan, this is my favorite restaurant in Porto. The ambiance is nice and relaxing and the staff is friendly, knowledgable and attentive without being intrusive. And all of the vegan items I've tried on the menu have been excellent, including my two favorite vegan dishes that I've found in Porto: their Korean Fried Cauliflower (KFC) and eggplant schnitzel. Highly recommended.

Espécie es uno de estos sitios donde, nada más leer la carta, ves que vas a comer platos con inspiración de diferentes partes del mundo; mucho más allá del típico “hummus/hamburguesa vegana”. Tiene una buena gama de entrantes y principales bastante sólidos. Elegimos los champiñones y el schnitzel de berenjena; los cuales estaban bastante buenos. Como único contra, encontré algo escasa la oferta de platos principales “no picantes”. Personal de sala muy atento y amable.

Lovely waiter who explained the dishes to us. It is tapas style and recommends around 8/9 dishes between 5 people, we got 9, although 8 would have probably been enough. Our favourites were the KFC and dumplings. The vegetarians among us ordered some dishes with cheese (also pictured) and enjoyed the goats cheese tart, although thought the tex mex had too much cheese and couldn't finish it. Overall very nice spot with dessert options for those who have room left after dinner.

We had the best time at this lovely restaurant! Our lovely waiter went through the menu and told us his personal favourites. We had the KFC cauliflower which was insane! We also tried the bejing style mushrooms which were yummy! Pudding was a vegan sticky toffee pudding with vegan ice cream. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Our waiter recommended another vegan restaurant in the vicinity which was so helpful and lovely of them!

The new menu is VERY good! And I honestly think we ordered the best dishes of the menu, and every single one of them I super recommend: - cauliflower wings - Beijing mushrooms - Moqueca - Tofee for dessert Every single one of them was mouthwatering, memorably delishious. The staff was also very friendly!

Very friendly staff, cozy interior, decent prices for what you get - very tasty food. Would come again when in Porto, Feels more authentic then some of the other restaurants we have been to.

Really interesting menus and each dish we tried was packed with flavour. The restaurant had a lovely calm atmosphere and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Love the sauce and flavor profiles here. Went twice and sampled all of the mains. The curry with the sweet potato had just the right amount of everything, no need for rice. The KFC is a big hit for everyone, but save some room for dessert. All the dishes are tasty.
