    The food was really really good but the experience was one of the worst I’ve ever had. The waiter was offensive and did not respect boundaries which was a surprise because everyone in Porto is so kind and welcoming. In the end I had to explain that I suffer from a condition and cannot eat large portions of food. Experience and kindness are more important than gourmet food. As a User Experience professional my feedback is : Don’t force people your way

    Superb service and really friendly staff. Original dishes with very nice presentation. Be warned though - portions are very small and prices are high for what you get. We also found the use of balsamic vinegar to be excessive and a little overpowering in all our dishes. Maybe we just chose badly.

    This place should have a Michelin ⭐. It's hard to describe how good and original the food is. Here is my prediction, Michelin will find this place, star it and it will move to the center of Porto. This is my new favorite place in Porto. And the menu keeps changing. Wow

    Food and people are great. Super flavoured and beautiful looking. The service was amazing too. The best vegan caneloni I ever had, the coco tart was so delicious

    Some friends recommended this place and we came here during our holiday in Porto, and had 2 prefix menus, one with wine pairings and one with non-alcoholic pairings. This is a place that tells a story in every bite or “moment” as they call their dishes. Moment is the correct terminology, because eating here is a full experience, not just the taste of the dish itself. Every moment had a story, often about the life of the chef and his family or about a specific region of Portugal. This is also a tasting experience that, definitely, is completed only with a drink pairing. The sommelier did an amazing job and introduced us to delicious Portuguese wines - the wine tasting along with the culinary dishes are in fact a journey across Portugal. We do recommend you to take the time and come here if you’re visiting Porto and are looking for a vegetarian/vegan tasting experience.

    I initially gave them a 5-star rating, but my recent experience was a bit different. Let me take you through both visits, where we opted for the degustation menu each time. The first visit was nothing short of amazing—a solid 10/10 experience. The owner and chef personally welcomed us, and the staff was exceptional—always attentive and caring. The food was a delight, showcasing freshness and true haute cuisine mastery. They keep things exciting with a rotating buffet menu, exclusively vegan, which suits us perfectly. The culinary journey was a feast for the senses, each dish offering a unique flavor, cooking style, and presentation. From the diverse dishes to the homemade kombucha and bread, every detail felt special. Now, the second visit maintained the friendly and available staff, but the food didn't quite hit the mark. The 10-dish degustation menu displayed culinary excellence, yet there was an overload of carbohydrates and fats. Delicious, yes, but the absence of protein sources (think tofu, legumes, tempeh, seitan) was noticeable. Plus, the entire experience stretched over a hefty 2.5 hours—you might want to clear your schedule. Overall, it was good, but the expansion of the degustation menu to 12 dishes from the original 8 could use some refining. I'm on the fence about returning, leaning towards a 'yes' if there's a protein-packed menu revamp.

    Amazing experience! The food is out of this world, the flavor combinations are incredible and the presentation is also lovely. The staff is super nice and the chef or a waiter will go to your table and explain everything about the dishes that you’ll be eating! It’s very well decorated and pleasant. I am definitely coming back for more.

    Amazing food and service. Recommend 100%. The only downside, unfortunately, is the lack of protein.

  • 5/5 Arunraj C. 5 months ago on Google • 26 reviews
    Excellent ! - food, service, ambiance. The concept of offering the plant based version of the local Portuguese dishes is innovative and the dishes offered are too good! There is an interesting backstory that Is shared for each dish about its origins and how the plant based version is made. We are glad that we found this restaurant. It is definitely worth a trip from Porto city to this restaurant and worth it for the price as well. We will definitely visit next time. We look forward to seeing it soon on Michelin guide or even a green star :)

    I recently dined at Seiva and had the pleasure of enjoying their tasting menu. Overall, everything was truly exceptional. The dishes were expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. The attention to detail in the presentation was commendable, leaving me utterly impressed. The service was top-notch and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a delightful dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for its outstanding cuisine and exceptional service.

    Fabulous food and excellent service. I went with a group of four people and the experience was exceptional. The chef came to our table and contributed to make our dinner special. Thank you.

    The food and the wine were incredible. I never experienced such a warm hearted team at that high level of cousine before! Highly recommend the flora menu experience.

    Great food experience with artistic menu and vegan options. Chef was friendly who came out to talk about options and concept. A treat for the senses and special occasions. Plant-based options in Porto shared on Insta @themindfulstep

    Absolutely amazing food, incredible presentation and the best service imaginable. 10/10, very highly recommended!!

  • 5/5 David M. 7 months ago on Google
    I've eaten in excellent restaurants across the globe and the experience at Seiva was the absolute best. The dishes not only tasted exquisite, but each was beautifully presented. Some had stories about their origins. I had the tasting menu because it was too hard to pick specific dishes. The sommelier paired the wines perfectly and explained each wine, the vineyard it came from and the grapes it was made from. The staff was welcoming, well informed and did a great job. I will have to plan another trip just so I can eat here again.

    Fantastic and innovative seasonal-based (the menu changes every 4 weeks) plant based cooking, the 10 “moment” course was brilliant! Wonderful staff and hospitality too. Thanks!

  • 5/5 Louise Van N. 1 year ago on Google
    Eating at Seiva was a great experience for us! The service was incredible, the waiters really took the time to explain the dishes and were cheerfull and smiling. The food was delicious and healthy. We loved it. We don’t usually post reviews, but we had such a good time that we wanted to say we 100% recommend!

    Amazing plant based food. All dishes are carefully thought out and well executed. The customer service is excellent and they are always willing to help or clarify any doubts. They also have a terrace service if you want to take your dog :) Keep up with the great work.
