Meet 4 vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Lisbon

Finding 100% vegetarian dishes in traditional restaurants or even good vegan restaurants is not always an easy task. More than a carnival of colorful salads and tasteless tofu cheeses, we’ve selected creative restaurants that elevate the restrictive diet to the haute-cuisine.

1. Comoba

If only delicious dishes are not what you are looking for, the Comoba is your place. With breathtaking presentations, the restaurant offers both egg and cheese-based options as well as 100% vegan dishes.

2. O Botanista

Without any indication of being vegan – besides the name, of course -, the restaurant bets on the recreation of already existing dishes in versions that do not use ingredients from animals. The idea is to get people to eat what they already know and forget the dishes do not carry meat, fish or eggs.

3. Veganapati

With a fusion of the names ‘Vegan’ and Ganapati – one of the names of the Hindu goddess Ganesha symbolizing the link of the supreme to nature – the restaurant bets on vegan dishes with an Indian twist.

4. The Green Affair

With a more fun spirit, The Green Affair offers 100% vegan dishes inspired by cuisines from around the world such as gyozas with beet hummus, parmigiana eggplant, and Portuguese ‘meat’. Cocktails, wines and craft beers are also offered.
