The whole experience here was so bad, I even forgot to take pictures of the food. So first, the selection is good. They have plenty of choices. But thats about it. They have rules at the tables on how to treat the cats, but none of the staff actually cared if they were followed or not. There were people smoking and dropping ashes right next to the cats, multiple children being loud and pulling the cats onto their lap. We waited over an hour for our food and it was disappointing. It was cold, the bread was stale, the size was small and im not even sure if I got what I ordered because I didnt remember anymore at that point. Then, when we wanted to pay, we got ignored by the employee working the register. The whole visit was quite the opposite of a good experience.

The cats were ace! The staff were lovely! Really enjoyed the food! Really glad I got to try a Franceninha, they’re normally so meat heavy so a seitan one left me in a bit of a wheat coma

We ate lunch here and it was a really nice experience. The food was quite good, but the hot dog was a little bit dry. The CAT’ KEBAB was very good. But the highlight was the cats. I love that the restaurant is now fully vegan and that they are supporting a bunch of cats. They give you a rule book when when you sit down with a list of rules of interacting with the cats and how you can donate to them. I think you can also apply to adopt cats. It makes it feel very respectful and like they are truly putting the cats’ interests ahead of anything else.

Lunch only until 3pm. No need to book. Tasty vegan food and great feline company.

Very welcoming and kind staff! Great idea to help stray cats while eating delicious vegan food and spending time with them. 😊 I can say it's become my favorite vegan place to be. Lots of love for the people work here ❤️ Delicious vegan francesinhas and my favorite the carrot cake😋 I will come back!

Update: i used to like this place, but it changed radically. There's a hostile vibe now and you barely hear people talking. They have a lot of rules now, and if you caress a cat and he hisses at you (which is not ideal, but can happen) they start tapping the glass like you're committing a crime. As soon as you enter the café you have someone coming at you asking where you want to seat and with a menu, and thus used to be a relaxed place. They charge 70cents more if you want oat milk. I just don't like the vibes. Cakes are good though, nothing to say about the food. Updated from previous review on 2021-04-13

I went to many cat cafés in the world and I would say this one offers really nice food. It's fully vegan too, unlike most similar places. We really like the fact that they offered several versions of Francesinha (local specialty), including a gluten-free one. We had a great time! You can choose to either eat in the restaurant room (without the cats) or outside where the cats can freely go. We ordered first, then paid a visit to the cats in their dedicated room, until our food was ready. Then we went back inside to eat. Some people were sat outside and we could see cats going on and around them, which could be annoying while eating. But it's down to you, as long as you don't feed them with human food.

Cibo molto buono e cucinato con cura. La presenza dei gatti rende tutto ancora più bello. Un posto davvero fantastico!

This project deserves all our esteem and consideration. We should really support the cause and pay a visit and why not a possible adoption. The environment is so peaceful, there is peace in the air, the kittens are happy (at least they have affection and food always available. They will be happier after being adopted). The food is divine, the service is extremely friendly and dedicated. I wanted to repeat this experience over and over again. Be aware that it gets busy on the weekends. You may need to wait for a table. But for everything, really everything, it's worth it! I'm sorry I can't give you more stars, because you deserve infinite ones.

I passed by this space with my son (an infant) and we went into the cafe to have a snack. But first I asked the employee if we could see the kittens and then we would sit down to have a snack, but she said that first we had to sit down and place our order and only then could we access the room where the kittens are, but I said this in a in an unfriendly way. I immediately didn't want to eat there! I don't recommend it due to the service I received...they give the idea that the animals only serve as an "attraction" to earn a few more euros.
I don't recommend it.

It had everything to be a great place, however the entire functioning of the space left something to be desired. Only in one part of the space do we have contact with the cats, on the terrace, we asked for a table and they said they didn't have one except in the sun (I'm undergoing chemotherapy and couldn't sunbathe), so we asked if we could sit inside and then When there was a place in the shade we could move, they said there would be no problem. When we asked to change, they said that after sitting down we cannot change seats, information that moments before had been contrary. We had asked for a dog and had to ask for napkins to be able to eat it. I love animals and I had been wanting to go to this cafe for a long time, however the experience was very bad, I felt deceived and received very bad service.
