Wonderful Find!

I just moved to the area and am the willed to have found this place! Almost everything on the menu is vegan (just a couple vegetarian options) and EVERY plate that came out (to guests sitting around me) looked AMAZING!
I had the mushrooms in garlic cream sauce so that I could save room for the apple crumble. So glad I did!
I will definitely be back to try the other plates.

It was busy and the staff were stressed but still friendly. Upfront that the wait would be long. (It was 25 min before taking order) Absolutely worth the wait!

Pros: Reasonable prices, Lots of options, Convenient location (near a large free car park)

Für den kleinen und den großen Hunger

Es gibt diverse kleine Gerichte und Burger. Alles frisch und lecker. Es kann quasi alles vegan bestellt werden (es gibt veganen Käse, z. B. Feta und welchen zum überbacken).

obrigado por esta experiência

I actually can't talk this place up enough, from the warm welcome by the lovely owners to the service,ambiance and food.

My 3 friends and I visited for dinner, we went for a bunch of dishes to share. Definitely worth it! I unfortunately had a bit of an upset tummy (too much wine the night before)so could only try little bits but the owner made me a lovely cup of hot lemon and ginger which really done the trick,along with the firewater he sent us on our way with.

What I tried on the night was absolutely incredible,and I took some home to have for breakfast the next morning which I was very pleased with.

This is a hidden gem in Portugal and I would definitely visit again

Pros: Mostly vegan , Incredibly welcoming hosts , Delicious food

Their Indian food and other choices are so beautifully fresh and tasty.
Have tried 2 of the burgers so far and loved them. The Portobello dish is exquisite as well.

This place is vegan

I don't know why it's marked as vegetarian it only has two vegetarian dishes everything else is vegan.
The service is great, so kind and friendly we made a reservation for another day before even tasting the food just because of them.
The food is absolutely delicious, everything tastes like fresh ingredients and lots of care. We ate way too much because we wanted to try everything. So recommended!

Pros: Mostly vegan, Great service , Great pricing

Cons: None

Almost everything vegan

In a quiet pedestrian street you’ll find this cute place with a large menu with many international options. Very original and delicious, only 2 things on the menu are not vegan. Definitely worth visiting. Will come again!

Wonderful find in Silves!

They've been in business 13 months as of this writing (May 2022). It's a somewhat small place, with a few tables outside anda but more spacer inside. I SHOULD have grabbed a pic of the menu... my bad! The food was fantastic.

Pros: Numerous vegan options, Friendly owners who understand vegan

Delicious food worth traveling for

I made my way by local buses from Carvoeiro to Silves to join the Vegans in the Algarve FB group for lunch here yesterday. The best meal of my trip to Portugal! We had a tasty muhamarra with flatbread to start, the main course was Lebanese style eggplant and chickpea moussaka with couscous, and we finished with a red fruit crumble with salted caramel ice cream. So good, and I enjoyed getting to meet local vegans!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Owner speaks a ton of languages

Vegetarian tapas cafe. Most items are vegan, or can be vegan. Small seating area inside, with outside tables. Owner is fluent in many languages, and very helpful. He made an oat milk cappuccino for me!

Diverse Menu and Great Vibe

This restaurant is set in a charming laneway of traditional architecture right in the heart of everything. They're incredible people - fluently multilingual and passionate about good food. The food is high quality and something of a standard you'd expect from a capital city. But it's not pretentious! I had a main plus dessert and a glass of Portuguese red wine. It's made on order and the ingredients are clearly crisp and fresh. Very impressed overall.
