    "Tell me about it, spud." (Sandy, "Grease"/misquote.) Give me some skin if you've been to Amsterdam, where you've tasted the world's most delicious frites (looking at you, Mannekinpis!)! Wait a second...let's back that up! Amsterdam will have to work harder to keep up the distinction of producing the best fries, because Portugal's Potato Project is hot on its tail! Located along Rua da Conceição, Potato Project might be small potatoes in terms of the size of their shop, but their business is definitely not half baked. The finest potatoes are hand cut here daily and fried to the perfect crispiness. Whether you say frites or I say fries, these gourmet chips are sure to ap-peel to everyone! With several sizes and many toppings to choose from, along with authentic sauces from the Netherlands, there are endless combinations. Since the shop was open until 10pm and was located about a block away from our hotel, it was a perfect spot for late night snacks. The employee who took our order for both visits was super friendly, and quick to get to the root of the matter to correct my combo when she noticed it was made with the wrong sauce. We ordered The Amsterdam with curry sauce, cheddar, peanuts and onions; and The Guacamole with guac, cheddar, black beans, and tomato salsa. Both were hits and loaded with flavor, but I did wish the curry was more like a traditional curry, and less like a slightly vinegary, curryish condiment (but take that with a grain of salt since I'm not usually a fan of condiments in general.) There are only a handful of tables inside, but they conveniently have holes in them to hold your cone of frites. If you're ordering take-away, note that the area outside the shop is perfectly safe during the day, but can be a bit dodgy at night. Overall Potato Project is the perfect spot for a taterly delicious snack whether you're alone or with your spuddies-they're a smash!

    Didn't think fries would be this good but a restaurant dedicated to fries had it down pat. Nicely designed space and excellent and quick service.

    First time trying Potato project! I ordered their fries and was very satisfied! They had plenty of options. Napkins are readily available. Their tables have holes to park your fries. Check this place out!

    I am such a potato eater and I love fries from Holland (patat met) so I knew I had to try this place out when we were in Lisbon. There are lots of topping options to choose from but I'm simple. I just wanted fries and truffle mayo. It did not disappoint. Fries are made fresh in delicious oil. It satisfied my cravings.

    We liked the potato project! It was pretty simple fries with some customized options. It was pretty affordable and filling. Seating is limited but we liked the holes in the tables where you can stick your fries as a holder.

    Are they the world's best fries?! No. But for 6€, my friend and I happily devoured these. Fun quick snack! They also have nice sit down area as well (if you're not in a rush)

I wasn't feeling super hungry so I opted to do a takeout box (€8) of their buffet food. The selection here was fantastic - many lentil/soy based protein options, a salad bar, rice and bread - really the perfect plant based meal where everything was tasty. My average rating really comes from my experience doing takeout. Maybe it's my American mentality, but when they handed me the takeout tray, I made sure to fill it up with as much food as possible (while not overloading). When I went to pay, the owner(?) scolded me and said it was now impossible to close and that I did not do this properly. I apologized and shared my embarrassment with them, but honestly - it was NOT that bad. I wasn't happy that they made a scene where everyone started staring as I continuously apologized and felt stern judgement. Finally, another staff member took over and closed the box for me and I paid and left. After sharing the photos with friends, nearly everyone concluded that it was not overfilled and definitely me just making the most of my limited space. Besides that experience, I still really appreciate them being available and would come back to do the actual sit down buffet so I can avoid this awkwardness again.

Food: 5/5 Honestly, everything was amazing. I wish American vegan food tasted this good (less salty & sweet). We started with their verison of onigiri and a fig salad. I really loved the soft and crunchy texture of the onigiri with a juicy marinated watermelon center. For entree, we got the couscous with Okra dish. If you don't like Okra this dish is not for you. But, it was light and flavorful (slightly sour). For dessert, we got a sampler since we could not decide. Clearly, my favorite was the chocolate lava cake but they were all so tasty! My partner got some green vine and I got green tea. You get a whole pot of tea - great value!! Service & Ambiance: 5/5 The decor was so cozy inside and the staff were amazing! I know little to know Portuguese but, they were super nice! All in all, I would definitely go back and all for ~51€!

    I am a vegan and 26 is my favorite number so I felt like this restaurant was calling me to eat here…read more- I am glad that I answered the call. This restaurant is beautiful and well thought out. I love the entrance and the journey to the main dining area. I love the interior design. I love the open-concept kitchen that grants the ability to watch the chefs work their magic. I love the dishware and the presentation of the food. Ultimately, I love how intentional the creators were with the development and execution of Ao 26. I ordered the Francesinha and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Upon reading the description, I was hesitant because it did not sound like something that I'd enjoy, but I was desperate to try a dish native to Portugal. It was delicious - so so delicious. I'm glad that they were able to veganize the native dish and execute it so well. For dessert, I ordered the Peanut & Chocolat Pie. I enjoyed it but I wouldn't order it again because it was slightly too rich for me, however, if you like dark chocolate, that is the dessert for you. I loved my experience here. This would be a great place for a date or night out with friends. The food is great and the vibe is better. Thank you Ao 26.

I'm afraid that was the most interesting part of the experience. Service was okay, but definitely not particularly friendly. We asked the server which was a good, traditional (albeit vegan version) Portuguese dish. She recommended the Supreme Bifana sandwich. So I ordered that. It came with sweet potato fries. I forget exactly what was in the sandwich, but it was pretty bland. There was a sauce that came with the dish and that was tasty. But the sandwich itself was meh at best. The fries were also disappointing. They were soggy and very oily. Dipping them in the sauce made them somewhat edible. So meh food and meh service equals a meh review.

I was intrigued by the presence of a vegan restaurant in Lisbon, but it seems like vegan and vegetarian restaurants are plentiful here. The menu is just as tiny as the restaurant. There are 2 main dishes and a few desserts and starters. I ordered the daily dish, which was called Brunch. It included vegan cheese on toast, vegan sausages, a slice of sun-dried tomato, roasted beets on top of potatoes, and oats with strawberries and bananas. Elements of the dish were both a hit and a miss. As a non-vegan, the individual components were very good attempts at replicating the real thing. First, the cheese had the right texture. It had a very light and subtle flavor that I enjoyed. The vegan sausages were too dry on the inside. The beets and potatoes were particularly good, but I'm a bit biased as I enjoy beets in general. The oats in soy milk was tasty. There was a subtle sweetness to it. Overall, the food was good and a good value for €13.

We got the vegetable curry twice, as well as a quinoa salad, a tofu scramble, a carob cake, and some juice. Out of all of these, the quinoa salad was my favorite. But even the warm curry was delicious on a hot day! The carob cake was a bit dry and crumbly tasting, though -- I think I can bake a better one myself. There was quite a rush for the cheesecake, so I wonder if that would have been better? Sadly they were sold out once we wanted dessert. Service was a bit slow and they don't open before noon, but that's fine when you are on vacation :) As others have mentioned, the space is small, so going here with a large group is probably not advisable. I liked that their food menu was hand-written. It sounds like they just make up the menu as they go, and include whatever dishes they can make with the produce they have available that day. Overall, I very much enjoyed eating here -- it was nice to just get some good old vegetables among all the meat offerings of Portugal!
