A fantastic place, the best food I had in Porto by a good distance. Many of the previous reviews mention that it is 'too expensive', I disagree. The value for money is great. Very high quality dishes, immaculate service from the staff and very surprising flavours. Also the wine was great and very reasonably priced. In northern Europe this would be well over 70€ per person whereas in total out bill was circa 40€ per person. The only small drawback is the location off the beaten track, but this also adds to the charm. A thumbs up from me 👍🏼

Despite being such a small country, Portugal seems to be at the forefront of the vegetarian modern casual/fine dining scene, with restaurants like @senhor.uva , @arkherestaurante , @seiva.restaurante kicking up a storm and on an even more high profile scale, @encanto_joseavillez by @joseavillez recently picking up a new star from the @michelinguide We had one night in Porto on our way back south and after a week filled with meat, we had our hearts set on something a little different. Along came @favatonkapt which has been on my hit list for a while, set in a quiet area of Matosinhos. A new seasonal menu (recently launched) filled with rich rooty goodness. Highlights for us were the wild mushroom pie, served with a really meaty stout sauce... and the Cauliflower with nori weed & ajo blanco, finishing with a gorgeous seasonal pud of apple fennel and lemon. @nunomdcastro has done at Fava Tonka what so many vegetarian restaurants fail to do, which is to fool your palate and make you forget that you are in a vegetarian restaurant. Bloody impressive and another one to recommend if you fancy something different in Porto. The service and atmosphere were wonderful. Couldn't have asked for a more pleasant evening. We visited in Jan 2023

Unglaublich schönes Restaurant mit sehr freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Mitarbeitenden. Der Chefkoch und die ganze Küche arbeitet vor deinen Augen und alles wird frisch zubereitet. Das Essen ist hervorragend und das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist bestens. Ich würde sofort wieder gehen!

Amazing meals! The best vegetarian restaurant in town! Worth ordering all dishes!

Always a pleasant surprise! It was my second time there and I still got absolutely amazed. Every dish is a extremely well though, combining fresh and high quality ingredients with inspiring composition and techniques. A gastronomical experience. Hands up for the beautiful beetroot with stracciatella and black garlic ice cream, and for the watermelon, algae and kimchi dessert. A party in the mouth!

Amazing vegetarian restaurant! They serve dishes to share so it is a great place to go with a group of friends or with your partner for a more romantic dinner. Loved the atmosphere! And the staff were super helpful! Also loved the fact that they have an open kitchen so you can just be delighted with the preparation of all the amazing dishes! Definitely recommend!

Definitely a place worth to try. Even if you’re not vegetarian. Flavorful, lovely service and place. I had a really great time. Hope I’ll be back soon. Wines are also carefully selected. Sorry, totally forgot to take pictures and with more quality, I was totally focused enjoying the experience.

Absolutely love this place. We went here from a recommendation and it was well worth the visit! Attention to detail and impeccable service. And the food is outstanding. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing experience! The staff was very helpful, kind and extremely accommodating with my little son. We had a lovely family meal and the food was superb. Vegetarian at its best! Congrats to the whole team. My almost 2 years old tried everything, liked a lot of the things he tried and without doubt he had a great time thanks to the very friendly staff. I will definitely come back!

My partner and I were blown away by the fine dining chefs menu, and the price was lower than e expected for the high quality fresh foods. They altered it to be vegan for us. What a treat! Beautiful interior, everyone was nice and it’s clear they care about providing an excellent dining experience.

Sad I can’t add the cabbage video. But it was really delicious. All the main courses were enjoyable even though quiet small portions. The only minus was feeling is that the waiter didn’t speak English, which is not ideal for choosing your meals, as your menu also had no English version 😅 Still rating the food experience and hoping to come back with a better service.

Wow, just wow! I'm not a vegetarian but I absolutely loved this place! The food was PHENOMENAL and the service was quick and kind. They spoke English very well and handled food allergies well. The combinations sound weird, but they're so good. Highly recommend!

I liked everything about Fava Tonka. The atmosphere is great with a lot of plants, the dishes are served in beautiful ceramics, the service is friendly. But the best about this place is the food. The association of flavors and consistencies is brilliant. I would love to come back!

Best vegetarian restaurant in Portugal. Such a unique gastronomic experience, from the beautifully crafted dishes to the superb service. Absolutely loved the beet and leek entrées and the melon dessert. Many gluten-free options as well. Can’t wait to return to Portugal to visit this place again 😊💜

Very tasteful kitchen with original flavors! We loved the sharing of three different dishes and two desserts. Very attentive and friendly service as well. We highly recommend!

What a lovely evening. The taste of the dishes was wonderful

Lovely food, staff, highly recommended place to diver from down-town Porto. Lots of options to turn your dishes fully vegan too!

We liked the concept of the restaurant but it was too pricey for what we had to eat. The meals were welle thought but not so tasty and we like only one of the desserts (the one with the bread).

Amazing season menu, very friendly service. Small portions, perfect for sharing. Sadly they were out of kombucha :(

Fava Tonka has a great, modern and clean atmosphere, decorated mostly with wood elements and plants. The staff is extremely nice, from the booking, to the welcoming, making good suggestions and presenting the dishes. However, the food is the main star, being exquisitely prepared, everything very tasty, innovative and creative. The best restaurant I have been to in years, I highly recommend it both for vegetarians and not! The price is adequate for the quality, having paid 70€ for two people, couvert, 3 dishes, 1 dessert and 1 bottle of wine (everything shared).

Great restaurant! The food was very delicious with interesting flavours and combinations. You can tell a lot of love and thought went in to the creation of the dishes. Friendly and attentive hosts. Overall a wonderful experience with great value for money!

A fabulous vegetarian dinner. Well worth the trip from Porto centre (Metro + short walk). Delicious small plates shared between the 2 of us. A beautiful interior. Such a warm welcome too, and our waiter Nuno was excellent!

Unbelievable vegetarian and vegan food. Such unique flavours and the dessert was just perfect. Decor inside was very fitting and nice. We’d highly recommend trying the food here.

Far from the city centre but worth the trip! You should make a reservation and I advise two person to pick four dishes. Also, ask for a recommendation for the wine to go with the food and you won't regret it. Will definitely come back

Very surprising - I am not a vegetarian but loved this place. Food was so well prepared and presented I didn't even think about what I was eating, just that it was delicious and beautiful

Exceptional food and service. Expensive, but absolutely worth it.

Although I am not vegan at all I've loved this place! Very nice atmosphere, well trained staff and food was surprisingly tasty and memorable! 10 out 10! Nevertheless, get prepared to invest some time in finding a spot to park your car...

Hands down the best vegetarian restaurant weve ever eaten at. Amazing food, service ambiance and prices.

The food is exceptional! Very out of the ordinary dishes but each one of them was delicious. The staff is super friendly and the ambience is nice.

One of our top two meals during our stay in Porto (other was a Michelin 2-star). Amazing vegetarian menu, all dishes thoughtfully and creatively prepared. When we dined here, the focus was on mushrooms and we loved everything we ate. The service was warm and gracious. We wish we had a restaurant this delicious, inventive and affordable in NYC; then again if it existed, we could probably never get in. Kudos to the chef and his wife for creating a very special experience for everyone (not just vegetarians).
