The Vegan Thread

Portuveegz report so far:

Jardim das Cerejas: Excellent value buffet - delicious soup, decent salad selection and good homely mains. Highlights were some little cake things reminiscent of tortilla, a mild curry and a black bean stew with aubergines. Filled up fast so clearly a popular spot

Tao: Kate got a takeaway lunch and sent me a pic of a massive box of foods she got for like 5 eur so I guess it was good

Everest Montahna: Well reviewed Nepalese restaurant, bahjis were delish but not terribly impressed with the curry we had and a very wet'n'salty dahl. Possibly just bad luck. Free mango lassi something or other at the end was yum.

Café do Rio: Bunless burgers. Starter of sautéed mushrooms was incredible and I enjoyed my very non-vegan burger, but the white bean and mushroom burger was pretty bland and the guacamole was a major coriander overdose. They did have another vegan option which sounded nicer imo.

Paladarium: Lovely little restaurant tucked away by a supermarket serving traditional portugueseymetiderraniantapas stuff. Lots of veggie on the menu and the proprietor was happy to make vegan adjustments and suggestions. Great wine selection too.

Also in general there's a lot of vegan products available and a good scattering of Brio "bio" supermarkets, but it's pretty pricey even by brit standards and peanut butter is almost impossible to find and at least 3-5eur a jar
