    The food was good but not too special. Prices are a bit high. But I like it that they focus on healthy food !!! Staff was a little bit slowly and I felt like we where ignored at the beginning but maybe it was because we sat outside in the dark.

    This place is truly style over substance. The food was mediocre but the service is beyond appalling. Staff are lack lustre - it’s like they were dragged out of bed and forced to be here. Took a while to be acknowledged. Saw several tables ignored in wanting to place orders. Would definitely 100% NOT recommend.

    First day Lisboa we came here, immediately in love with the food. Fresh and tasty guacamole, fresh fish, super friendly staff, amazing menu. The day after we went for breakfast. Same experience! Great toast with salmon ♥️ two days later we came back for breakfast. I was feeling unwell, I fainted but they treated us so nice. Called ambulance for us. We wanted to come back the day after as well, but sadly we needed to catch our flight. My friend ordered food that was brought to our hotel, again very tasty 😱 I recommend this place for every foodie and health chaser 🍀💚

    Very good food and great taste. All natural ingredients. You can build your own bowl, which is amazing. Waiters could have walked around a bit more, but it’s ok. Can recommend 👍🤫😝

    We went a couple of times to this place. In general we were very pleased to find good healthy options. The food was very good. We had octopus, which unfortunately had a little piece a little hard, and a sea food rice. Prices are pretty standard for tourists. We recommend this place to anybody looking to have a break from fried fish.

    Good food and friendly staff! They have a lot of healthy (or healthier) choices in the menu. You will find fish, some poultry and vegetarian options in here (no beef).

    Amazing vibe, healthy food as the name suggested, and a great option to groups with vegans and meat-eaters. Also seems like an excellent option to get some work out of the way while you enjoy delicious food. Don't miss the guacamole ♥️🥑

    Covert, the bread, hummus and veggies is extremely overpriced.Couscous and chicken was dry, but had good taste. Poke bowls delicious with great fish/veggie/rice ratio and tasty sauce. Serve was odd: seated quickly but took awhile to get a server to give us a menu and take our order. Food didn't take too long after. Another table seated after us had faster service. Travel beside us waited 20 mins or longer for drinks, which was water and a glass of wine, and then their food came out immediately after. You have to pay at the front door and staff won't bring you the bill. The staff had difficulty speaking English.

    Great place with lovely atmosphere and so many interesting, healthy dishes, we could spend a week trying everything we liked. The salmon-not-salmon poké bowl especially was divine, but we also tried and liked the greek salad with hummus, cod with chickpeas and quinoa with hummus. The desserts are supposedly great but we were too full to give them a try. Maybe next time.

    The food is fresh, healthy, and tasty. We had a poke bowl and the stir-fry prawn with noodles, for dessert we had the blackberry cheesecake and the apple and pecan pie with cashew cream. I would really recommend the latter. I give four stars, because the portions were quite small and they offer disposable chopsticks instead of normal ones. I got a wood splinter in my finger now.

    It's too bad that I often give 5 star reviews because this restaurant deserves more then the highest rating. To start, the service was friendly and speedy. There were so many delicious sounding options on the menu so I'll probably be back before the end of my trip 😂 My chicken was cooked perfectly and the joghurt sauce topping was delightful. The best chicken dish I've ever had. The couscous had some raisins and nuts mixed in and it sat atop some green stuff (Parsley?). This was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's how most people like couscous. It's obvious there was alot of thought that went into this. Props to the chef. The quality of the food compares to places 3-5x the price.

    The food was excellent, the desserts were better than expected, was very surprised by the tapioca passion fruit dessert it tasted incredible. Service is slow but it is a super busy place and sometimes it’s just like that.

    A wonderful surprise. We picked this place by chance and it could not be better. Such a nice menu that we had trouble choosing. Nice dishes, very friendly staff and the desserts? I have to come back to try a few more. 👏🏼 ... And I did come back, today. Another top poke bowl and two delicious desserts. Check the new photos. I will come back again...

    Location is great just next to the metro. Service is super friendly and fast. They have plenty of breakfast and brunch options from veg to non veg options. All their fruits are fresh and nice sitting area surroundings.

  • 5/5 Daniel D. 1 year ago on Google • 92 reviews
    I had a predisposition about the place, not expecting too much but we decided to give it a go. And I am very glad that we did. There are plenty of options, both vegan and non-vegan. The Asian Duck was delicious, and the shiitake mushrooms were very delicious. The only complaint I would have is that the duck breast could have used more salt, but other than that, I can definitely recommend this place.

    Very fresh and delicious seafood! Polite and fast service. We had the octopus and the shrimp tacos, both were excellent! Would highly recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Karista F. 6 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    Quick, colorful, whole ingredients are used to create these delicious, nourishing to the body & soul, meals! We tried the falafel plate & crispy tofu; YUMMY!!! BEST tofu from a restaurant, IMO. I wish we had one of these closer to home!

  • 5/5 David S. 9 months ago on Google
    Great Poke bowls. It would be great to have more local protein options as Salmon and Shrimp are not local but fruits and vegetables are.

    I got a ginger-lemon drink expired 9 months ago. The *rude* and corwardly servant/boss tried to convince me it was only a print error but didn't want to taste it. It tasted like sh.... I'm lucky I didn't get poisoned. The food was good.

  • 5/5 Mike F. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Gary M. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place to eat and chill. Nice and friendly service. I have been going everyday for breakfast and also for a couple of evening meals. A very good food and drink menu with a wide range of choices including plant based

  • 3/5 Greta �. 8 months ago on Google
    We ate here for the first time and it was very tasty! However, on our second visit, we were very, very disappointed! The food was served cold... When we ordered dessert, it was cold and felt like it wasn't fully thawed. It was very tasteless.

    I can only recommend this place. Superb, excellent food and drinks. As a tourist, I just wanted to rest my legs and have a glass of wine, but the menu made me curious and luckily I had a meal here too. Easily the best poké I have ever had, it had a lot of salmon, not just tiny bits for the name of it. And their passion fruit rawcake is a dream. I was torn between the rawcake and NY style cheesecake, the waitress said she would personally choose passion fruit. Many thanks for this recommendation. And their white sangria is very refreshing and not oversweet.

    Local’s specialities are especially poke bowls and fish. It’s even possible to compose your own one (poke bowl not fish 🐠 😉). Prices are ok regarding them to big portions and food quality. The main con is that you wait really long time to be served.

  • 4/5 Aga Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Veeeeery tasty food. The octopus was perfect 👌 and the lemon pie 🥧 was just the best. Interior also very nice & cozy 🥰 The only thing - staff don’t speak English and are not being very polite 🤷‍♀️

  • 4/5 Lam H. 9 months ago on Google
    The food are fine with a reasonable portion. The taste is not so strong but it is enough (and this restaurant sell healthiness). Nice outdoor seating.

  • 5/5 Cynthia K. 1 year ago on Google
    We had diner here at the beginning of October on our holiday. The food was great, tasted amazing. There were plenty of vegetarian options, i had the vegan salmon bowl and it was delicious. Our server was a super sweet lady who knows how the business works and took great care of us.

  • 4/5 Sara A. 2 years ago on Google
    The reason why I wouldn't give this place a full star is because I haveb tried any of the main courses or much of their bowls. I tried two items from the starter, one was okay which was Tabboule with Labne. I am from the middle East and was curious to taste those two items together which was a weird combination for me. However, the result was okay as the white spread is not close to the Labne concept. And the tabboule usually is more soury which was not but was an okay starter. The salmon tartar was good. Simple and fresh. I tried a cup of green wine and it wasn't as expected so switched to white wine instead recommended by the waiter but was okay too. The waiters were nice and friendly and speak English. The place overall has a good vibe. Would like to come again and try other menu items.

    Loved the food here! The tuna dish was incredible. I also loved my duck dish. Everything was very flavorful. The tap water was infused with orange and cinnamon and it was very good!

  • 5/5 Andrea G. 1 year ago on Google
    The place was incredible and we were incredibly lucky to find it on a sunny Thursday right next to our hostel, avenue rooms and suits. We wanted to have a rich breakfast in order to be full of energy for the day. That's exactly what we got for a really good price. They also sell both sweet and salty things and there are a lot of options for vegetarians and lactose intolerant 👌🏻🎉 The portions are quite big so ask for a doggy bag if u need!
