31 Best Vegan Restaurants near Rio Tinto

“One of the best Vegan experiences I had in Portugal so far, she truly set the standard for an awesome restaurant experience. From the moment we sat down to the food delivery you can feel the love in her food and restaurant, I was beyond elated when she said the coffee cake is Vegan. I just about called an Ambulance to pick me up from a food Coma. Thank you thank you thank you thank you ???“

“Consistently good food, welcoming and attentive service, good portions, gluten free options, and fair prices. What more could you ask for? The Francesinha with Chick’n is a favourite (though not available gluten-free, unfortunately) and the cheesecake is possibly the best we have tasted.“

“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.“

“Enjoyed this place! Caulli wings are amazing! Its a big portion, we shared and that was ideal! I got the schnitzel toastie and my friend got the fish burger. Both really enjoyed our meals! For dessert we shared the chocolate peanut butter brownie and ice cream and the cookie cake. The cookie cake was quite bland but the brownie was delicious, definitely recommend that! Really liked this place, nice to sit outside in the evening and have a drink too. Staff were lovely and friendly too!“

“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!!“

“The staff is nice although service was a bit slow. The food was amazing, good value for money. I highly recommend the Chimichurri steak and the brownie for dessert. The playlist was also really good. Will definitely back! Ps: not accessible for people with limited mobility“

“Wir durften einen fantastischen Abend im Jardineiro verbringen. Das Essen und der Service waren einfach klasse! Wir waren zu viert zu Gast und alle total happy mit unserer wahl. Wir können das Jardineiro nur empfehlen. Tolle Atmosphäre und essen ganz ohne Tierleid. Was will man mehr🥰“

“Our waitress was very friendly & helpful, explaining all about the ethos of the restaurant (local, ethical) & the meals. We had a 3 course tasting menu & 3 other dishes which we shared between 2 of us. The portions were quite small, but ok. They all came out individually, which we liked as the table was small. The flavours were interesting & excellent, with the pumpkin being our favourite. Lovely meal. Updated from previous review on 2025-03-06“

“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!“

“Porto doesn't have anywhere near the amount of plant-based/vegan restaurants/eateries that Lisbon does; however, daTerra came highly recommended and was a close less-than-10-minute walk from our apartment on the Ribeira, and their buffet offered us a good amount of choices all being 100% vegan. (And, too, the prices were cheap--can't complain about that!) Apparently, the buffet changes daily, so for our 3-night stay in Porto, we popped into daTerra twice (once for lunch; once for dinner). The staff on both occasions were simply terrific--a great group of people! For me, let's say two-thirds of the buffet was YUM; one-third was not to my liking. But, hey, that's a buffet for you: somethings are hits; something are misses--that's why you've got a large variety of food stuffs to choose from. Wines and beers were extra, but food and drinks are so cheap in Portugal that it didn't matter. The fancy desserts were extra, as well; but, again, who cares if it tastes great and is reasonably priced! In sum: daTerra's food rates a very solid 4-star rating from me, and I give it an extra star for the friendly service.“

“(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.“

“A great find....I loved absolutely everything about the buffet. Dishes from traditional to innovative. Dinner in a relaxed, cozy atmosphere and with super friendly service....To repeat without hesitation

Vegetarian options: A delicious dish“

“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!“

“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.“

“Posizionato nel centro della città, è un locale che si sviluppa su tre piani. Arredo moderno e piacevole.. Personale gentile e attento alle esigenze del cliente. Il menù prevede diversi piatti tipici portoghesi, preparati e presentati con cura. Buona la scelta della materia prima. Prezzi medi per il mercato locale Buona la carta dei vini.“

“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.“

“Delicious locally sourced organic food, beautiful atmosphere and friendly service. A true gem with peaceful sounds, smells of abundant nourishment and care.

Vegetarian options: Muitas

Dietary restrictions: Consciente opções“

“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.“
