Info:
Ao 26 Vegan Food Project
Ao 26- Vegan Food Project is a vegan and vegetarian restaurant in Chiado that offers a range of different cuisines and recreates classic Portuguese dishes such as «Francesinha», a traditional northern dish, and some well known meat dishes like seitan «steak with mushroom sauce» and "bloody" vegetable burgers. You can also choose from a variety of teas, lemonades and infusions but if you feel like having a little extra fun there's a list of vegan alcoholic drinks and cocktails.
Psi
If you like spices and are a fan of asian fusion cuisine, Psi restaurant will provide that for you. As one of Lisbon´s oldest vegetarian restaurants, it opened its doors over 15 years ago and its garden was actually inaugurated by HH The Dalai Lama himself. Located in Jardim dos Sabores, near Eduardo VII park, it "offers a wide range of vegan options and the kitchen is prepared to accomodate any special dietary requirements".
The Food Temple
More than a restaurant, at The Food Temple they describe themselves as a Cultural Food Community, "a project that celebrates and explores food in all beautiful aspects of our lives". The reason for that being the fact that besides serving delicious vegan and vegetarian food they also offer workshops so you can actually learn to make the food that you would eat there. Located in one of Lisbon's neigborhoods- Mouraria, and granted that you enjoy "nuty" food, as in cashews and peanuts based dishes, this will be the perfect bite for you.
House of Wonders
If you feel like drifting away from the city to the beach, we give you now an option in the center of Cascais. House of Wonders is a vegetarian cafe gallery with a "rooftop and a Mezze Restaurant, serving daily fresh creative middle-terranean cuisine, fruit juices & raw vegan patisserie". With a decor withdraw from the wonderworld, you'll feel like you just came out of a delicious fairy tale.
