    The dinner was very impressive. I had very little ideas of what to expect with the Portuguese food, but was very impressed! The flavors were amazing, and my 9 yr old was even pleased! Great ambiance and service as well.

    Excellent food, always! My parents are vegan suspicious, and they became vegan lovers! A miracle happened over lunch, thanks to the wonderful food

    Food was good! But even though the restaurant specifies that they speak English, we got a waiter that only spoke Portuguese, and kept reverting to it. Afterwards, they asked to tip them, what?

    Lovely vegan food, with friendly and informative staff to explain the menu. Interesting vegan variations of traditional Portugese meals.

    Had a mediocre experience a year or so ago, but wanted to give Avó another chance. We went with four non-vegans and everyone really liked their food. Everything was very tasty. My friend´s husband said his polvo tasted a bit funny...because he didn't realize it was a vegan restaurant, even though she told him. LOL.

    Highly recommend booking, as they don't seem to accept walk-ins. The overall experience was good. The staff was helpful in explaining the options and making a choice despite the language barrier. The food was tasty although it may have been lacking stronger tones at times. I would have appreciated a stronger combination of flavours. Nevertheless, it was a nice meal. The dessert (creme brulee) was great.

    Space is cool and clean, choice of food is very varied and creative. Unfortunately the quantity and quality have both decreased during the last year, when it used to be great. This has been common in vegan restaurants. The waiters were very nice at first but really pushy to get customers out after the reservation slot, which I would understand if the restaurant wasn’t still half empty 20 min after we got up. I’ll come back because I really used to love the place and don’t think 5 stars should be the standard. I still recommend it if you are looking for a great variety vegan takes on traditional Portuguese food.

    Incredible vegan dining experience. From beginning to the end this was extraordinary! We were a little late for our reservation due to some issue with the public transport and my coordination but it was no issue at all. Staff was super friendly and the food was immaculate! We had the a few starters, and for the main dish the 'octopus' rice and the vegan 'cod' (which was easily the best vegan fish dish we ever had). The dessert was also incredible. I want to point out that the service was quick, friendly and helpful in every way. We learned quite a few things about the traditional Portuguese kitchen and we will definitely come again! Pricing was also very fair! If you're into vegan food definitely check it out! And if you want to know how amazing vegan food can be also check it out!

    The staff are lovely and the food is delicious, in a pretty and relaxed environment. What I love about it here is they are experimental and ambitious in their dishes - most notably, the famous fried egg lived up to its reputation - incredible!

    The food was delicious and the wait staff super friendly and helpful. We were not aware that one of the dishes takes so much time to prepare so we got a bit hangry waiting for our food but they were understanding and gave us a delicious entree on the house to ease our hunger.

    The food is great! We were 2 and shared 2 starters, a dish each and a dessert and it was way too much, but we wanted to try everything The value per dose is amazing. The staff is nice. The space is clean but there is something off, not sure why. I recommend and will come back

    One of the main courses was wrongly delivered by mistake, and the one originally asked for was brought in under 10 minutes, and I can only imagine it was cooked in a hurry.
