31 Best Vegan Restaurants near Rio Tinto

“Excellent veggie dishes, home made with love. Sílvia, the host, is quite nice and attentive. Love the vegetarian Francesinha. They have glúten free options. You have a daily menu and Fridays and Saturdays, burgers, and francesinha! Also you must absolutely save some space for desert! They are delicious!“

“Probably the best service I've ever gotten in any restaurant. We went there twice. The first time we had sausage, cheese and bread as a starter, my girlfriend had a burger as her main and I tried a chicken Francesinha. The taste was exceptional. The waiters were all really friendly, I was regularly asked if I wanted more sauce. Afterwards we took some pastries to go, those being one Pizza pastry, one filled with seitan, a KitKat doughnut and a pistachio croissant. All of them were amazing as well, and we even got a free Pastel de Nata because I tipped 6€ (which is pretty standard on a bill of 54€!). The food for that price is unbelievably good, mains are 13 - 15€, a doughnut is 2.80€. Similarly sized and decorated doughnuts are usually twice that in price in Germany. The second time we went there was our 7 year anniversary. We had the same starter but different main dishes. My girlfriend had what was basically a baguette bun filled with sausage, topped with cheese in a Francesinha sauce, and I had Patatas Rotas, which consists of seitan strips, sausage, potatoes and cheese in a Francesinha sauce. For dessert I had the cheesecake and my girlfriend the semifreddo. Like before, food and service was absolutely amazing. The waiter even took our picture after I asked him to because of our anniversary. Because of that we got a free snickers doughnut to take home! I would eat here everyday if I could. Definitely the best vegan restaurant near Porto.“

“Set up in a very simple way with tables, fridges and shelves with products to buy, the meal will be nothing simple. I had the francesihna and it was truly phenomenal. It had so many different layers of meat that filled me up with pure joy. The also have a different dish of the day for only 6euros.“

“This was the busiest of all the vegan places in Porto. The food was incredible and the service was incredibly efficient. The quality was top tier. Highly recommend trying the food here. We had the franceshina with vegan egg, and the chimichurri steak for main course and the tofu bao buns to start. Yum to everything.“

“Absolutely blown away! My wife and I are vegetarians, and we’re so happy to have had dinner here. Everyone was so friendly, and we got to try traditional Portuguese dishes that we would have never tried otherwise. A must visit for anyone traveling to Porto!!“

“Exactly what we were looking for as a little bite and drinks before dinner. I was excited to try the grilled watermelon salad with rucola and feta cheese, and it didn't disappoint. So tasty and refreshing, perfect for a warm summer evening. The sun-dried tomatoes and basil humus was also a highlight for us. All of that paired with a glass of prosecco sangria. Just perfect!“

“This is the best food I’ve eaten so far in Porto. You can taste it’s made with macrobiotic principles and care. The setting is lovely and the service was gentle and friendly. I’m not surprised it was full! We each had the set menu which is a soup and main (you can choose your main) and everything was delicious and healthy. The portions were very theory’s and I landed up taking some away for dinner. We also ordered a juice with Spiralina and it was literally the best tasting juice I’ve ever had! Highly recommend supporting them. Everything you’d want from a vegan restaurant.“

“O Jardineiro, foi uma surpresa incrível! Ambiente bonito e aconchegante. Com menu de almoço completo ( couvert, entrada, principal, sobremesa e bebida) muito gostoso, bem preparado e com bela apresentação (fotos). Tudo por um valor bem satisfatório. Eu recomendo muito. Incredible surprise! Beautiful and cosy environment. With complete lunch menu (couvert, starter, main, dessert and drink) very tasty, well prepared and with beautiful presentation (photos). All for a very satisfying price. I highly recommend i“

“I went to have dinner with my mom and we had a wonderful experience. The flavors were great and the pairings quite bold. It was also nice that they include some local produce as for example acorn and carob. Beautiful cooking, lovely staff, great concept. A must! Eu e a minha mãe fomos lá jantar e acabamos por ter uma experiência incrível. Os sabores eram mesmo top e as combinações de ingredientes bastante arrojadas. Gostei imenso do facto de incluirem no menu ingredientes locais, como a bolota e a alfarroba. Ponto positivo para a seleção de livros relacionados com veganismo, agricultura, etc Se estiverem a passar pelo Porto, sem dúvida merece a vossa visita! O sítio é mega acolhedor, o conceito é ótimo e as pessoas que lá trabalham super fofas!“

“A great stall tucked in the market. Sold onigiri, fruit bars, salad and some hot snacks when I went. I tried the aubergine onigiri and baked sweet potato with cinnamon. Both were excellent and the stall owners were super friendly and helpful!“

“It’s not a buffet anymore but the food is excellent. Best vegan in Portugal so far. The service was also excellent. The price seems in line with a slightly upper scale casual dining restaurant in the peak tourist zone. A very pleasant surprise.“

“(Translated by Google) I'm a fan of A Tendinha's seitanas. The sauce is very flavorful. I adore. I also tried the Dog. Very good. ????(Original)Sou fã das seitanas d'A Tendinha. O molho é muito muito saboroso. Adoro. Também experimentei o Cachorro. Muito bom. ????“

“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.“

“Happened on this place as we wandered Bordeaux and were happy that we did. The pizza was very good and the dessert pizza went down particularly well! Only gripe was a personal opinion, that the Tiramisu was a little bland, I would have liked more marsala wine in it. Service was good.“

“Wow, we had a great breakfast there today. The restaurant is located on a not-so-busy street and that's what's really nice. The interior is harmonious, there was a little jazz playing in the background and the atmosphere was great for our breakfast. The service was very nice and the breakfast was rich and very tasty.
There's no outside area, but that's not a bad thing. I can recommend the restaurant without reservation!“

“Excellent service, good music and extremely well located.
Regarding the food, it was really surprising, the fantastic combinations they make.
I suggest asking the staff what to choose because they got it right for me!

Without a doubt, it does justice to their excellent reputation, being considered a must-have to visit in the city by the Portuguese!

There is no equal, they make a difference, I will definitely come back!
Thank you Zenith ?“

“Top notch restaurant! Really great welcome!
The place is magnificent with a view of Sao Bento station. It took us a little time to find it but it was definitely worth it!
The meal is delicious! Jr recommends! not to be missed.“

“Great experience! We went there by chance, and well, pleasantly surprised! The food was excellent with great discoveries and the service was incredible. The servers were very attentive! Thank you to the whole team for their kindness! We will come back!“

“I like this type of place, healthy vibes and focusing on whole foods. Even though it's omnivore, labels are clearly indicated next to each meal, which makes it easy to order. Savoury dishes are a bit limited but I really enjoyed the simple sweet potato wedges with guacamole. The highlight was definitely the pancakes... They were just incredible and I enjoyed every bite of it. Next time I have the occasion to go back, I would go just for them!“

“vegan all you can eat for 12.50€! All of the dishes tasted fabulous. The main dishes change daily, there is a selection of appetizers and salads as well. They even have Club Mate. Staff is friendly and helpful. I really can't complain“

“I recently visited O Diplomata and had an amazing experience. The pancakes were fluffy, golden brown, and delicious. The cozy, modern atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing meal. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of. Overall, it was a delightful visit, and I’ll definitely be returning soon.“

“It was our first visit to the place. We loved the decor, the service was excellent and the staff were very friendly.
The waiting time for orders is considerable but it is necessary for the food to be prepared properly, we see this while enjoying our burgers.
Experience to repeat.
We were 4 people, 2 adults and two children. The kids menu is the size of a Mac Donalds happy meal, but there is no comparison in taste, much better as everything is fresh and cannot be compared. We ordered a starter, garlic bread with mountain cheese and spicy chorizo, recommended by the employee, and it was very good... so good that there was no time to take a photo.
They don't have an ATM or Mbway, today they only accept cash but they have the mainland next door so they can withdraw.
Next time we tried the chicken ones.“

“Visited this restaurant because of the distance from our accommodation.

Service was very friendly & pizza tasted good.

Upon arrival we were immediately served a small appetizer (without asking beforehand) (see photo); which of course we were billed for.

The outdoor area was nice, but if it had been full it would have been very restless.
It is also exposed to strong winds despite the wind protection being installed.

• It would be nice if the menu still had VEGAN dishes to choose from :)

Conclusion: Local is recommended! ?“

“In a humble and familiar space, we were able to embark on a beautiful gastronomic experience. Excellent service and food at the same level. Congratulations and keep it up!

Parking: On the street, parking is difficult, but there are garages and parking lots nearby.

Wheelchair accessibility: On a pedestrian street, without steps or unevenness.“

“Interesting restaurant in Porto, nice place, quite large.

Very delicious Francesinha, mounted sirloin with mountain cheese also very good, high quality meat. The “Chocolate Mountain” dessert is good, I had already tried the same type of cake in Madrid (The Best Chocolate Cake in the World pastry shop, in front of El Retiro)

The only “but” I have is that the waiters are very dry, but otherwise it is a recommendable place“

“This is really good Indian restaurant, food is great, we loved the paneer curries and naan. Owner is very welcoming and he gave nice recommendations to try, we, in fact did dinner here twice on our four days trip to Porto. Highly recommend ??“

“I had tuna ceviche and the local rose wine on a warm July afternoon. It was delicious and peaceful. Plenty of people to watch but nobody intruding in your space. The waiters are attentive but not intrusive and they speak English. Very happy and satisfied “

“Good Italian restaurant to eat in the city. The food is spectacular and the service is also good. I ordered the egg calzone and it was incredible, as well as being quite large. Very friendly and attentive service at all times. The place is quite quiet and located in the center. 100% recommended.“
