Swanky grown up vegan food - Edit
We went without the kids and it was ideal. Fine dining, attentive staff and delicious food. They tried to up-sell us one of the starters by bringing it to our table which I wasn't a fan of but there was no issue when we politely declined.
Read moreI had the traditional "tripe" stew served with wild rice and if food could give you a cuddle then this was it. It was so wholesome and warm, I felt like I was eating autumn.
The portion sizes were all decent, the pistachio tiramasu was amazing! I usually don't like them as I don't like coffee but this one was light on coffee and heavy on cake so it was ideal.
For a fantastic dining experience this is the place to go.
Pros: Fully vegan, Amazing tasting food, Bilingual staff
Cons: Tried to upsell a starter by bringing to the table

Best in Portugal - Edit
As vegan chefs we can appreciate when a cruelty free restaurant gets it right. Best in Portugal, this is fine dining done right. Must try for vegans and non vegans alike. Well done chef! And beautiful friendly staff too.

Nice dinner - Edit
At first, I felt a bit uncomfortable because the restaurant looks very fancy, but service was very friendly. The tofu wellington was great, the spinach tagliatelle was tasty, although a bit simple.

Adorei a experiência gastronómica neste restaurante! Atendimento super prestável e comida única!

Fechámos com chave de ouro com a estrela da noite, o Apple crumble! De longe das melhores sobremesas que comi! Recomendo imenso!

Chic & Delicious! - Edit
High-end vegan dining experiences are rare and this place did not disappoint. They offer unique craft cocktails (one with spinach that was amazing) and beautifully plated dinners and starters. I had their wellington and my friend had the roasted "loin". We finished with the blueberry tiramisu. I highly recommend putting this stop on your vegan dining list when in Porto!
Read morePros: Great atmosphere, Incredible and friendly service, Great wine and unique cocktails

Ok fancy restaurant experience - Edit
The environment was what made the most impression on me and my boyfriend. The food and dessert was good, but not amazing. I also felt both the meals we chose was very brown and not fresh. I know vegan food has more potential.

Sooo good!!! - Edit
This restaurant was amazing, more on the higher end but definitely worth it. The staff was so lovely, and the food absolutely delicious. We made a reservation in advance on The Fork.

They refused us at the door after driving 40km - Edit
We arrived at 9.15pm and they refused to let us in even though several tables were empty. They said the kitchen closes at 10pm and not 10.30pm as stated on their happyCow profile and were really rude. Didn't even offer us to stay for a drink or anything, just wanted us out of there. Very frustrated
Read morePros: Nothing, Not polite, Not friendly
Cons: Not respectful with us, Could not try the food, Couldn't even sit

Good afternoon Mr. GhutoWazlawick first of all we regret the bad experience. We are sad that you have traveled 40km and that you have'nt been able to get a table, but if before leaving home you had tried to make a reservation on our online platforms or called our restaurant, you would have found that you would'nt get a reservation because we were fully booked. We hope to be able to reverse this review one day when you visit us, but we always recommend that you make a reservation to avoid these disappointments. Thanks

I guess that if you can answer this review you also have the power to add this information 9n your profile here at happycow instead of hiding it behind another domain url. If reservation is a requirement please be honest and add this to the happycow profile.

Incredible food - Edit
Four of us went to Jardineiro for dinner—only two out of four of us are vegans. We loved everything. The mushroom risotto in particular was a standout dish as was the apple crumble dessert.

Best Vegan Restaurant ever - Edit
Thus far this is hands down the best Vegan restaurant that I have had the pleasure of eating at. I have eaten at some very good restaurants around the world the past 6 years, and this is the best. My wife had the Wellington and I had the Tripas a moda do Porto com arroz selvegem, which is the vegan version of a traditional Portuguese Tripe dish. Additionally, I had the blueberry tirimasu, which is the best that I have had outside of Italy! The service was great from greeting to exit. Simply an awesome dinner and we will return for dinner tomorrow. Can’t recommend this place enough.

A bit touristy but a very good experience - Edit
We enjoyed our meal here overall. The ambience is lovely and our servers were extremely friendly and attentive. We ordered three items here: the Beetroot Carpaccio starter and the Risotto and Tofu Wellington as our main dishes. The Carpaccio and Risotto were both packed with flavor and would highly recommend. The Tofu Wellington was just okay although to be fair I'm not familiar with the original meat-based dish.
Read moreThe portion sizes were huge though, especially with the risotto, and we were barely able to finish our meal. We wanted to try their desserts as they looked delicious but even the plating for the desserts looked oversized. I suggest coming here on a very empty stomach.
Also with the price points and the overly foreign clientele, there is a slight sense that this is a restaurant that caters more to tourists which is not a slight, just something that we noticed. Overall though this is a very good restaurant, one perhaps especially suited for a special occasion.
Pros: Delicious flavors, Attentive service
Cons: Huge portion sizes, A bit pricy for Porto

This place is amazing!!! - Edit
From the food to the service, this was a fantastic experience. We paid €97 for 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 desserts a glass of wine and a glass of port. I thought it was really good value for the quality of the food and the experience overall. Every dish was DELICIOUS! We didn’t leave a single crumb.

Wow! - Edit
Lots of choice on the menu. We ordered the mushrooms and beetroot dishes for starter. The mushrooms were very meaty and the cashew cheese that came with the beetroot was exceptional. For mains, we had the risotto and the loin. Again, very tasty and good portion sizes. Excellent service from very attentive waiters.

Best meal in Porto - Edit
We had such a great visit here.
Read moreGazpacho and the tortilla to start. Both had great flavour. The freshness of the tomato and the cold crunch were refreshing. The meatiness of the mushroom in the tortilla was delicious.
Main was the Wellington and the roast both were just beautiful in presentation and taste.
Pudding of tiramisu and chocolate garden filled us up and we left very happy
Pros: Full vegan food menu, Friendly staff, Quick service
Cons: Some wines were not labelled vegan.

Wow - Edit
Sadly we didn't come hungry enough to try all the meals this restaurant has to offer. We shared a starter and took two main dishes. If you ask for water you will pay a small amount and they will refill your glass without asking during the whole time you are there. The restaurant is expensive, no doubt, but it is beautiful, the service was great, atmosphere lovely and the food was wonderful. We enjoyed every bite.

Pretentious - Edit
Food is acceptable, not as gourmet as they advertise. The atmosphere and service are nicex but the food needs improvement. The desert "tiramisu" was horrible, just lots of sugar. I had a Wellington which was just ok.

One of the better vegan restaurants - Edit
Probably one of the better vegan restaurant in Porto and it’s definitely a more upscale place.
Read moreMenu is complete vegan and there are decent options to choose from.
Food was excellent and tasted delicious.
Service is fast and efficient.
Price isn’t cheap but it does reflect their service.
It’s quite a popular place so try to come in as early as possible or make a reservation in advance.
Pros: Fully vegan, Quality of the service
Cons: Not cheap
