    A great and affordable veggie restaurant in Baixa-Chiado. Staff was very nice and patient with my limited Portuguese. And the food was yummy! Will come back later this week :3

    It's hard to get to this place, but for sure it's worth it. Food is tasty, but not everyone would be satisfied. There is a self-service in this local, but chef dishes your meals out. He is really kind, helpful and what is important for tourists, knows English. Prices are low and there is a big diversity in food to choose.

    Nothing fancy. Staff only spoke basic English so if you have any questions or allergies, come prepared:)

    I couldn't recommend this place enough. The food is very fresh and made with love. The staff is lovely and the space clean.

  • 5/5 Widya I. 1 year ago on Google • 83 reviews
    With this huge portion and small price, this place is just simply ✨️ amazing ✨️. I am not sure if any of their dishes are a typical dish from anywhere, but it tastes good, especially that veggie tempura. This place is worth to be labelled as a hidden gem in Lisbon. Definitely will come back here if I am revisiting Lisbon again.

  • 5/5 Giuliana A. 4 years ago on Google • 43 reviews
    Great cheap and cheerful vegetarian joint in Chiado! 3 varieties of hot food (some of which are more like sides) of choice + salad + tea for 5€. You can’t beat that! They have tons of options to chose from and always give you a 4th little sample. There’s also soup and dessert for those interested. Cash only.

  • 5/5 LJ M. 8 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Love this homemade food restaurant buffet style where you can eat a lot and it is delicious and very cheap! The best vegan secret in Lisbon

    Lovely place to get a wholesome vegetarian/ vegan meal!!! Truly a breath of fresh air. Lovely ambience and helpful staff. Cannot recommend it enough 😊

  • 5/5 Jan H. 7 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    A Colmeia is a very relaxed place to eat. The staff are helpful and friendly, guiding us through the menu and accommodating of our lack of Portuguese language skills. The food is fresh and tasty and exceptional value. We went at lunchtime and chose the option with four dishes, salad and juice for 8EUR. There were plenty of dishes to choose from, all really healthy and tasty. The dining space is bright and clean with views down to the river. Well worth a visit.

    Very nice restaurant, it’s a bit hidden on the second floor of the building. Very good price for quality. I recommend.

  • 5/5 Nieve H. 3 years ago on Google
    Very affordable, filling, and healthy lunch. Fully vegetarian and mostly vegan buffet with plenty to choose from. Great spot to stop for a quick and delicious meal, and the staff were all very kind.

  • 4/5 George a. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a nice place that serves vegetarian dishes for low prices. Do not expect high quality but prepare to be inspired.

  • 5/5 Filip 2 years ago on Google
    Incredibly great price to amount of food. Even taste was great. I will come back there if I will have a chance. It looks a bit like a students cantine, but for travelers it's amazing choice. (Warning, cash only)

    (Translated by Google) Macrobiotic food is great and cheap Well worth it, overlooking the Chiado (I.e. (Original) A comida macrobiótica é ótima e barata Vale a pena, com vista para o Chiado 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  • 5/5 David P. 5 years ago on Google
    The best price/quality restaurant in Lisbon without a doubt! Highly recommend it!

  • 5/5 ka m. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A restaurant like a hideout located on the Japanese style third floor of the apartment building. Seasoned to match very well with Japanese people. It seems perfect for those who seemed to get tired of Portuguese traditional dishes. Taste, quantity, price, great satisfaction. It's kind a hidden place in the 2nd floor of an apartment.Although I'm not vegetarian, I can eat here everyday! It's surprisingly great quality for the price. (Original) マンションの日本式三階にある隠れ家のようなレストラン。日本人の口にとても合う味付け。ポルトガルの伝統料理に少し飽き始めたような人にはぴったりかも。味、量、値段、大満足。 It’s kind a hidden place in the 2nd floor of an apartment.Although I’m not vegetarian, I can eat here everyday! It’s surprisingly great quality for the price.

  • 5/5 Andre V. 5 years ago on Google
    Some of the best vegetarian food I tried in Lisbon. Price is very low and the quality is great. They are very nice and patient when explaining all the options. The place itself is very nice. You should come before 1pm to get a table and you might have to share it with other people

  • 5/5 Omer S. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely the most value for money I got in Lisbon. For less than 10 euros you get so much - they have a menu which allows you to get either a plate with 3 of their dishes, you add 1 euros and you get 4, or another euro and you get 5. The daily menu gave us 4 dishes, a natural juice (from carrot or also apple), and a dessert. And everything was less than 10 euros. Note that to find the place you have to enter the building and go up 2 levels. It worths it, I can assure you that.

  • 5/5 Raquel C. 2 years ago on Google
    Are you looking for a variety of flavours, vegan dishes made with wholesome ingredients, at a friendly price? Then this is the place! You can pick a number of different dishes and they're all healthy and delicious!

    Hidden gem. Make sure to go up to the second floor, and don't be intimidated by the dark stairs 😁 Great value vegetarian food.

  • 4/5 Carolina P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Vegetarian restaurant with several healthy and tasty options. The boring part is due to locomotion as it is on the second floor of an old building in the uptown area. Prices are great and affordable. It is very worth the visit. (Original) Restaurante vegetariano, com diversas opções saudáveis e saborosas. A parte chata é devido a locomoção, pois fica no segundo andar de um prédio antigo na zona do bairro alto. Os preços são ótimos e acessíveis. Vale muito a pena a visita.
