We went for dinner and although the food was okish it it was not WOW. We were surprised about the food not being great after seeing the reviews. We had the raviolis and the Porto risotto. It’s very pricey for the quality of the food. The service tho was great!

Nice service and atmosphere. The food was ok, Presentation 10/10 but taste 6/10. For me everything was lacking seasoning. Also very few vegan options.

Finally a restaurant that has a good offer of vegetarian dishes. Everything is well chosen and delicious. The service is paying attention and doing a really good job as well.It is not the cheapest restaurant in Porto for sure but it is worth the price. I can only recommend it to everyone that is looking for something more special.

Absolutely delicious food, and such nice service/staff. So nice that they have a vegetarian focused menu but that also has a little non-veggie menu. Couldnt recommend it more for a lovely group meal out in Porto :)

Lovely vegetarian restaurant (there are non-vegetarian options). Friendly and welcoming staff. The food was delicious with interesting flavours and beautifully presented. We had 3 courses - it's not incredibly filling food but I would say portion sizes were adequate. Most importantly we had a great evening here.

Vegetarian options: A wide variety of different vegetarian options.

Cuisine au design recherché mais qui n'en oublie pas le goût. Nous nous sommes régalé de l'entrée au dessert, un parcours sans faute !A noter que les non végétariens ont aussi des possibilités de plat, pas de déçu donc :)

Food lacked any flavour. Was expecting something delicious for the price. The main ravioli dish had an unappetizing blue colour that lacked any flavour.

Had a wonderful dinner here. The staff were brilliant at serving our group of 12, and managed people's dietary requirements very well. The menu is a great combination of vegetarian, vegan and meat options. They also made a fantastic caipirinha!

A truly special evening with unique and beautifully prepared dishes. We had 6 dishes with 6 wines (between two) and each one was stunning, well balanced and packed with flavour. Unique home grown produce and exceptional service. Would recommend to everyone, simply stunning.
