Navigating the streets to walk through the neighborhood to find this gem was a bit tricky, but totally worth it. This place is lovely. Outside seating is stadium style steps. Inside is an open kitchen where everyone works together happily to make your dining experience a true joy. The food is presented beautifully and you don't have to be vegan to love every bite! read more

While exploring Lisbon, we made a reservation at a cute hipister and vegan restaurant!! It was very good and amazing. É muito bom e fantástico! (P.S. - kitchen opens at 7pm.) 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€! read more

Excellent food and sangria! From a NYC foodie. I love to try vegan on different countries and this is quite good.

The atmosphere here is a solid 5 stars. The food was mostly good, but some things didn't really wow me. I believe it was a mushroom based rice dish the night my friend and I came. It was good, but I wasn't crazy about the raw vegetables that were served beforehand. If I'm back in Lisboa, I'd definitely give it another try...and hopefully get lucky enough to get the dreamy staircase seating. :) read more

The vibes here are delightful. There is great outdoor seating and the staff are lovely. The menu rotates and my party shared all the apps and mains so we could get a taste of everything. The food was good - especially the appetizers. read more

Found this gem thanks to a TimeOut article on vegetarian restaurants in Lisbon. This spot takes great pride in their food, with friendly and low-key staff and local food and wine selection. Each dish was delectable, and super affordable! We were able to sit on a table outside, which was awesome as it was on the stairs and totally different from the typical outdoor dining experience. I am recommending it to everyone I know! read more

Some of the absolute best vegan food I have ever had. They change the menu every day, and our menu was delightful. A curried creamy pumpkin soup, several tapas, and the main course was a polenta with mushroom ragu. So so delicious--I could not recommend this more to anyone. My non-vegan boyfriend was in heaven, and loved all the food! read more

Hard-to-fund gem in the heart of the city! Fantastic, fresh, rotating menu. We tried one of everything and it was all unique and delicious. It's obviously a draw for locals and we met several nice folks at the communal table. read more

My friends and I were so happy to have found this place. It was a bit of a challenge to find it, but totally worth the search! The atmosphere was immediately very welcoming, and the food was absolutely fresh and delicious! We each had veggie soups as appetizers; peanut and eggplant dip, white beans as tapas, and a big delicious stew with rice and veggies that we all shared as our main dish. For dessert we had coconut cheesecake and a zucchini walnut cake. Everything was so wonderful and full of flavor and it was a nice alternative to all the meat, fish, and potatoes we'd had through our trip. The tapas were all about 3 euros each and the main dish was 10 euros. The service was great and everyone working there was very attentive. It is a very small space and it seemed like we beat the dinner rush so we were able to sit inside. Really wish we had another chance to go back! read more

the food temple. not easy to find. hidden behind a blue door. but we stayed 100 m away. so no problem. small space so u better reserve a table in advance. basic design when it comes to furniture, but hey, we are here for the food. and since we are neither vegetarian nor vegan we are curious. in a nutshell: the starter soup beetroot was tasty but slightly too thick and could have had some more spices. all 3 tapas we had were very well balanced and served the both of us. the main dish - theres only one per day (see pict) was tasty but needed a bit of salt. beer is cheap. and all in all we spent 35 euro. staff was nice and helpful. all speak english ;-). we would go again and didnt miss the meat. thx. ps no dogs allowed. as always in lisboa. which is not nice as ours was waiting at home. read more

Absolutely phenomenal vegan food. Everything tastes fresh, and they clearly have very original recipes. Everything is very affordable too. Everything I tried, I loved-- it's probably the best meal I've had in Lisbon. Only flaw-- restaurant is a little small. Apparently they have outdoor seating when it's warm out, though. read more

Worth a visit for the authentic and unique setting alone. The restaurant is located in an alley surrounded by buildings. If I was to describe it in one word, I'd definitely say 'charming'. If you are young and would like to make the most out of your visit, ask to be seated on the stairs. You will be provided with a beautiful stool that serves as a table. Looking up, you will see a lady hanging out her laundry, two neighbors talking to each other through the windows, again - charming. They also have a few 'normal' tables. We made dinner reservations - definitely make one in advance - and I can not praise Alice enough, for exquisite customer service (stands out even in uber friendly Lisboa), she was the one to hold email correspondence with me. We ordered a bottle of wine and everything they had on the menu that evening, though I must honestly say it was way to much food. Didn't make it to dessert, which was a shame, as everything sounded really good. Sitting on the stairs, enjoying the authentic surrounding, drinking a bottle of wine and enjoying a wonderful vegan meal. A truly unique experience. read more

The Food Temple - Charming. - Vegetarian Near Me - Lisbon, 11

We aren't vegans or vegetarians, but heard some great things about this place and decided to give it a try. We highly recommend making a reservation (we did, through email, and they were both extremely pleasant and quick to reply). We arrived at 7:15, and wasn't seated until 7:40 while two of the folks working there took a smoke break. To be fair, they don't officially open until 7:30. Everyone working there dress and look like hippies, and that's more or less the vibe of the place. But they are all super friendly, which made our experience really enjoyable. They change the menu everyday, so even repeat visitors will find something new. There's a juice of a day, an iced tea of the day, soup of the day, three tapas, one main course, and three dessert choices each day. They also have a pretty extensive beer and wine menu. The four of us basically got two of everything, and didn't really have any complaints. The food was flavorful and delicious, though frankly nothing all that *amazing* that means a 5-star review for me. What is pretty cool is the fact that they have an open kitchen, and for us it felt like watching a few young people cooking a home made meal together. Just three small things to note. The prices are a bit high for the portion, ingredients, and skills required, though you might feel different. A few of the dishes that are meant to be hot also came lukewarm, which was a bit puzzling to us, since the open kitchen suggests that food is made to order. Finally, they only take Portuguese cards or cash, so foreigners take note! read more

Amazing place for a vegan dinner, menu is changing every night, but everything tastes fantastic and made with love. Cool tables outside, integrated in the stairs just outside the restaurant. Has lots of gluten free options, also very nice dessert read more

One of the best spots in Lisbon for vegan food. I was here with two of my friends that I made at a hostel nearby and we decided to dine here for our last night with each other in Lisbon. It was a bit of trek to find but the food was amazing. Highly recommend trying the entire menu. The menu changes often so it's always something new. Everything was super fresh, and you can definitely taste all the flavors of the dishes! Portions were just enough that the three of us finished every last bite. They also make good recommendations for wines that pair well with the dishes being served that night. Overall, healthy, delicious and great vibe! Would definitely visit when I'm in Lisbon again. read more

Incredible food and the best Wild Rice Mushroom Soup I have ever had! Plenty of delicious food to choose from, and crafty beers and wines. The Coconut Pistachio Balls were so good we took two more servings to go. Very laid back place, with friendly service. Our favorite vegan spot in town. read more

Disgusting food, because the gravy was grey? We sat beside a German couple and they said that the food was lovely? We didn't like it. It wasn't gourmet at all. It was mashed potatoes and carrots with grey gravy, why? And it was also noodles, didn't make sense at all. The dessert was alright but nothing else.We had high expectations but didn't fulfill at all. Im sorry to write this, but this was our gut-feeling. read more

Wanted to find a vegetarian restaurant for my Uncle while visiting Lisbon. To my surprise, I probably enjoyed it more than him. Food is absolutely amazing and I would have no qualms going vegetarian if I could always eat like this. read more

I highly recommend this restaurant! The food was all delicious and interesting! Also i was glad it was not a buffet! (which a lot of the veggie friendly restaurants in Lisbon seem to be) It was small plates so i got a soup, tapas and and entree and a dessert. Everything was delicious, but especially the cranberry cake! The location was small and laidback, but nonetheless quite lovely with a small plaza with stone steps outside. The staff was very attentive & friendly! It was like hanging out in your friends' kitchen while they make you dinner! I was left feeling like i wanted to both work at this restaurant, and be a customer again! Stop reading this review and go to there. read more

Very nice place, perfect ambience, you can watch the cook prepare the meal. Inside a very homy feeling. The food was very different and also very good. Definitely worth trying!! I will go there again! read more

The Food Temple - From the outside - Vegetarian Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Very cozy, sweet little vegan spot. I took my non vegan husband and daughter and even they enjoyed because the food was just down right tasty. I have to commend the proprietor (I didn't catch his name but he has dreads) because he was working his tail off! The restaurant was very full and we marveled watching him work the room, make all the waiting guests feel seen and heard and deliver food. This is the little spot that could. read more

Went to this little gem after reading reviews on Yelp. We really enjoyed our visit! came here just before 11pm when they were about to close the kitchen, but they had no issue seeing us. We outside on the steps for a true Portuguese experience. the food was fantastic! My husband and I had all 3 starters and 1 main on the rotating menu and felt that was enough. We would definitely come back the next time we're in Lisbon! read more

Great place to have a healthy meal in Lisbon. It's no frills with good service and a really short menu. If you want a lot of choice this is not your place but they produce some tasty dishes from the open kitchen. Desserts were great...black rice pudding! read more

This place! It's all vegan and it couldn't be more charming. My husband and I only planned on eating here once, but squeezed in a second dinner (and almost missed our train for it because it's that amazing). Everything is delicious beyond words. You can't go wrong. And the outdoor seating is so sweet, and the prices are excellent. The only difficult thing is finding it. We asked a local shop owner nearby and she was incredibly nice in helping us find it, but The Food Temple has an email address and they were so kind when I made a reservation that I'm sure they would give you detailed instructions with landmarks (which is helpful since the roads are so small and winding). When you find it, it's heaven on earth. I wish I could take this restaurant home with me. read more

Great vegan food, which is sometimes quite hard to accomplish. The atmosphere is very laid back and they obviously really care about the food they're creating. It's like a little hippie operation in the middle of Lisbon. read more

What a fabulous find this was. In our quick little 3 day trip to Lisbon, my wife and I came back here twice. Quaint place with for prepared to perfection. Very cheap as well! read more

Cute little place with a nice, healthy menu. Food was good and people were very nice. Great craft beer options too.

Delicious, original recipes, excellent service and located in a beautiful part of town (particularly at night). Highly recommend this place to anyone in Lisbon. read more

We showed up without a reservation (oops) but they managed to squeeze us in somehow, despite being fully booked! I was starving and we had just spent 30 minutes walking there so I was forever grateful! Their menu changes every day. I'm a VERY picky eater, unfortunately, and also a vegetarian not vegan, though (and completely opposite from my carnivore husband) so it's not common for me to eat somewhere where I don't know if they for sure have something I know I'll like. This placed rocked every dish and I ate things I don't normally (mushrooms, beets, mango) and LOVED it all! They recommend doing the full menu, which covers all basis for 2 people: starter, 3 tapas and a main dish (typically a salad) and then if you have room, dessert. We had the most amazing bean and potato soup that we ordered some more to take home for lunch. We enjoyed our experience so much that we made reservations for the next night! Definitely make reservations bc this place is small and they fill up! They speak English too :) GREAT place! Thanks for taking such great care of us! read more

Well, what can I say. We spend a couple of days in Lisbon and were wondering whether you can find any veg stuff in Portugal. And yes, there are a couple of nice little restaurants, that only serve vegetarian/vegan. We read all the positive ratings on this place and had very high expectations. We did like the place alltogether, the staff is very kind and friendly, they explain you the menu and everything. The food tasted good, but alltogether, this place is a bit overrated. It's way to expensive. Tapas cost like 4€ and seriously, we ordered salad as a starter/tapas and it was a tiny(!!!) bowl with nutritional value of about 5 kcal tops. The bowl measured like 7 cm in diameter and was 2 cm high, and contained a couple of salad leaves with a little dressing. Sorry, but this is outrageous. They sell craft beer, but it's overpriced too. The staff explained us that their mains are sized for like 1 1/2 people i.e. you could order 2 mains and 3 people would be sated afterwards. Sorry, but this is most definitely NOT the case. I need to add that my bf and I don't eat much, as we're not people who can eat a lot. But we were both hungry after tiny tapas and a tiny main, so on our way home we stopped at a store to get something. So basically we paid shitloads of money, and we left the place still being hungry. But alltogether we liked it, because the staff was really, really nice and the food - even if it was not a lot- was fresh and delicous. Just fix your portion sizes, as I said, I don't eat much! read more
