Cozy vegan restaurant in the city center. Serves mainly traditional Portuguese food. Some of the bestsellers are: sausage croquetes; seitan steak with sunny side up egg. Octopus à lagareiro; snickers tarte. Gluten free options are available. Pets are welcome. Relocated from Rua do Crucifixo 30. Open Mon-Sat 12:00-23:00.

Simply incredible! - Edit
Kong totally wowed us. We had cauliflower wings and croquettes to start which were tasty and plentiful, but the big wow factor came from the ‘steak and egg’ dish, served with a side of rice, salad and fries (a very generous portion too!). Honestly incredible. This was so tasty and a really cool concept for me. We concluded with the Nutella cake and the parfait for dessert – I highly recommend the parfait, what an amazing combination of mango and chocolate. Definitely go if you’re in Lisbon. I hope to return someday.

Maybe we ordered the wrong dish. - Edit
We were so excited to try this place and loved everything about it as soon as we arrived. The decor and the service was lovely. We decided to order the Francesinha as neither of us had tried it before. Overall I would say it was pretty tasty but the onions were more lightly fried rather than caramelised and the kong sauce it came with tasted just like Heinz tomato soup, don’t get me wrong I love Heinz soup when I’m feeling a bit under the weather but I wasn’t particularly feeling it today on a warm afternoon in Lisbon. It’s a shame as the rest of the menu looked great but we just couldn’t stomach anything else. I would’ve loved to return and try more bits on the menu.

The best mango lassie around. Just love the vegan takes on traditional Portuguese cuisine. Been here several times and just keep going back. New location is bigger with seating primarily upstairs.

Creative, though not as tasty as it looked - Edit
Nice restaurant, friendly staff, interesting menu. The starter Horgan cheese and fruit salad was delicious). The main Happy ‘octopus’ looked fabulous was was a bit lacking in flavour with very chewy cabbage. They were good at understanding and having gluten free options.

Super tasty - Edit
We had the salmon style tofu and the seitan steak with a vegan egg and mustard sauce. The seitan and vegan egg were super tasty. The tofu had a nice fishy taste. We really enjoyed. We had a Nutella cake for dessert and it was pretty good.

Food was delicious - Edit
The food was delicious, the decoration so pretty and the staff so nice. It is true that maybe if you have a starter, a main dicho and a desert the bill can go up to 20-25€ per person but since the main dishes are so filling (I couldn't finish mine even though I was very hungry) I don't think you'll have room for all of that.

Perfectly made Portuguese food - Edit
Absolutely amazing taste, very creative, perfectly made vegan local cuisine. The staff is very friendly. The drinks are super tasty. The location is very easy to reach. I have tried two options on the menu and loved them both! Both of them have a very good sauce base and come with side dishes. The prices are reasonable. Definietely a must-go place in Lisbon!

Sin palabras - Edit
Increible. Fácilmente de los mejores restaurantes que he ido en mi vida. Siempre apuesto por restaurantes que veganicen los platos tradicionales de su país y este cumple de sobra.
Read moreCroquetas de alheira, bitoque y tarta de queso "deconstruida". Nada más. Perfecto.
ACTUALIZACIÓN: Volví días después y pedí ensalada de "pulpo", francesinha (adjunto foto de cómo es por dentro para quien tenga curiosidad)y parfait de postre.
Obviamente estaba todo bueno, pero me gustó más lo que pedí el primer día excepto el parfait, que estaba buenísimo.

Incredible vegan Portuguese food - Edit
I mean, wow. This menu is unique, innovative, daring, and it really pays off - the food is delicious!
Read moreI had the croquettes and steak with egg and I could not fault a thing. I loved how the steak dish came with rice, chips and salad. It’s impressive how they manage to make the steak and egg taste good. The croquettes were flavourful and crunchy.
The staff were friendly and the restaurant is nice and welcoming.
I’d definitely recommend this place, I loved it!
Edit to add: I came back and tried the bruschetta which was insanely good, and the octopus main dish which was also really nice. Love it here!

Best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to - Edit
Wow. What a place! The ambiance is amazing and the staff so welcoming and friendly. I loved that they serve the vegan versions of traditional Portuguese food. My husband and I shared the croquettes which had a lovely smoky melted cheese flavour. Then shared two of the mains - the seitan and egg dish and the cheese and chorizo sandwich dish. Both absolutely phenomenal. My husband who is Omni said he LOVED the sandwich. I found them both equally as great. We ended with their pasties da nata and a decaf coffee. If you come to Lisbon, this restaurant is a MUST!

Sie wissen, was sie tun - Edit
Sehr nette Bedienung, gutes Konzept und sie wissen, was sie tun. Das Seitan-Steak hatte verschiedene Konsistenzen, wie ein echtes, die Pommes waren perfekt, die Soße köstlich und die Snickers-Torte super lecker. Ich hätte mich über etwas mehr Gemüse in der Auswahl gefreut, aber das, was es gab, war perfekt.
