I've been meaning to post this for AGES but better late than never! My partner and I visited here for lunch over the summer and this was probably the best meal either of us have ever had. We opted for the full vegan tasting menu with the wine pairing and oh my god, everything was just supreme. We've recently started making it a point to visit Michelin restaurants in the places we travel to and this was the beginning of that. I'm quite the picky person and so I was nervous for some of the dishes like the cherry soup (pictured) but it was absolutely delightful. The restaurant is so beautiful with the earth tone decor and luscious plants, the food was delicious and gorgeously plated (and perfectly timed), the wine was fantastic, and the service was impeccable! Every single server was genuinely friendly. One of them took a perfect film photo of us from outside looking in (we had the window seat, best in the house!) and it was a favorite from the trip. Another waitress was really funny and friendly and helping us get just the right video shots for all of the food. Another was incredibly knowledgable on all of the local wines of the region. Everything was just perfect. 10/10, would recommend and would visit again and again!

Mind blown! I know vegetarian food, or at least I think I know vegetarian food — but definitely not like this! Exceptionally refined. Each dish had exquisite taste, with full and delicate flavours. Hard to describe. Just go try if you get the chance. We chose the Carte Blanche menu and the pace and quantity was perfect. Comfortable enough to have room for cheese and desserts. Service was impeccable — it felt like a visit to a friend’s home. A very good friend. Who is a master chef. With vegetables.

Michelin, when * ? Very nice lunch, yesterday. We tried their 7-course Carte Blanche, and it was fantastic. The time, energy, and love invested into each dish was apparent by the sound of our plates being scraped (with zero shame) by our cutlery, eager to capture every last morsel. I don't feel my review of the food in detail would give it much justice, what I can say is this: There is a great film by the name of "Pig" that stars Nicolas Cage. There is a memorable scene where Nicolas Cage's character, a former renowned chef, reflects on the power of food to evoke memories and transport people back to specific moments in their lives. Cage's character expresses the idea that a great meal can be a transformative experience, capable of capturing a moment in time. He suggests that if you were to eat that same meal again, it would bring you back to the exact moment and emotions you experienced when you first tasted it. This notion highlights the emotional and nostalgic connections we can form with food and the profound impact it can have on our lives. I do feel quite confidently that if I were to eat much of what I enjoyed yesterday, say, in 15 years, I would travel back in time and immediately recall my experience yesterday. It would be a great feeling. Moving on.... The Service: Attentive but not invasive; warm and ligh-hearted. The sommelier was warm and easy to engage; he gave us a perfect light red to enjoy with our meal. The fromager was equally knowledgable and intuitive; my cheese dish was a perfect blend of smokey, robust, and a bit of spice which is what I asked for, she nailed it. The runners were lovely guys who spoke clearly and confidently about what they were delivering; plus, they were fun to engage when picking-up our finely-cleaned plates. We left with big smiles, fond memories, and strong intentions to return. Thanks for the great experience, Chef & team Arkhe!

ARKHE is a standout in the world of high-end vegan cuisine. Its inviting atmosphere sets the stage for an exceptional dining experience. The carefully curated menu of five courses, or seven chosen by the chef, is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece, delighting the senses and elevating vegan dishes to new heights. Each bite was a testament to the chef's skill, my taste buds were transported to a state of bliss. ARKHE is a must-visit for those seeking a truly exquisite vegan dining adventure. 👌🏻

Wonderful! The best vegan resto ever. 🌱🌱🌱so classy and exquisite! Les deux entrée were my favorite! I think this resto should be listed in Michelines 🙄🙄

We enjoyed 7 courses vegetarian menu. The food was so flavorful and delicious. Service was excellent. We didn’t choose wine paring because it was too much for me. We just ordered the bottle and it was a great one. We loved every minute of it. Thank you to the team for such a great hospitality.

Exceptionally, outstanding, one of a kind vegetarian restaurant. Spotless perfect from serving, staff, presentation, taste and also value for money including the wine paring. An experience I would not want to have missed and memorable! Simply perfect and Delicious 🤤

Wonderful experience in this vegetarian/vegan journey perfectly driven by the chef! Choose the Decouverte menu with 5 courses which allows us to went through the full carte. A perfect evening and an excellent service as well with a very professional and experienced team. Thank you all and congratulations!

Incredible meal with outstanding service. Enjoyed the style of the menu with the choice of 3, 5 or 7 courses and the flexibility of adding in specials. Our favourite course was the raviolo with smoked ricotta and egg yolk - but really every course was amazing. Wine list and cheese selection also great. Hope to be back one day!

I can't describe with words the amazing experience we had. First of all, everything is vegan or vegetarian. The waiters are incredible nice, well presented and amicable. We chose the 5 course + wine harmonization. It's really worth it. The autumn menu is amazing. I wish I could eat here everyday.

It's great that there is a vegetarian fine dining restaurant that is not crazy expensive. We got a bottle of Lisbon white wine (I forgot the name of it) and it was fantastic! I am still dreaming of the wine a week later. We ordered the 5 course menu and the courses ranged from amazing to blah. For a starter we had a ravioli with egg yolk inside and shaved truffle on top and that was great. It was a special dish so normally not on the menu which is unfortunate because if we didn't have that ravioli then the meal would have mostly been blah. They should definitely take the pumpkin main off the menu because it was as dry as cardboard. The desserts were disappointing as well. All in all, we were glad to have had the opportunity to do vegetarian fine dining, even if they do not let you keep your bottle of wine at the table and come pour you a centimeter of wine at a time (we would have bought a second bottle of wine if we could have self-poured!). The ambience was nice but the lights were quite bright for a restaurant.

Thank you very much for the exceptional dinner! Tonight is certainly a night to be remembered! We have enjoyed the five course vegetarian menu and the food has been truly amazing! It was perfectly seasoned. Smoked ingredients have been used throughout as a signature ingredient making sure that all courses were special and not the least average. If you have ever been in doubt whether vegan or vegetarian food lacks something, make sure to experience arkme. We also enjoyed the vine pairing which was slightly adventurous but very much complementing the food. But we also want to highlight the impeccable service at the highest level. The team was truly a team and able to communicate and synchronise without words. Great to watch. Also, we want to thank Alejandro who provided us with his very motivating take on fine dining in general and on the journey of arkhe. We understood that it’s important to: 1. remain true to yourself and your convictions. 2. make sure everyone understands your vision, ambition and strategy 3. be bold and go all in 4. constantly enable and train the team and provide the space for each and everyone to excel 5. think long term 6. focus on providing a great customer experience. Get each step of the journey right and success will automatically be the result. Many thanks for the great food and your motivating take on being an entrepreneur. We have the greatest respect! I will surely come back and am very happy to recommend arkhe without any hesitation!

Food, service, ambiance everything was great! 5 stars The food was so delicious, innovative and we took the la carte Blanche option with 7 servings and I will say it’s a delight for plant based eaters and non-vegetarians who are curious to try plant based dishes. The wine pairing was good Above all the staff were polite and hospitality was perfect! We will definitely revisit them when in Lisbon again! A memorable evening! It’s on it’s way to get Michelin green star is our intuition.

A must have when visiting Lisboa! We got lucky and got a table on the reopening day in the new place. Our waiter Martin put a lot of effort and effort in explaining the courses and guiding us through the amazing culinary experiences. We loved every single dish. The wine pairing was on spot. The crew did an outstanding job. 12 out of 10! Definitely worth visiting and experiencing their wonderful culinary creations!

Phenomenal. BEST FOOD EVER!!!!!!! How is this all vegan and why is it so much better than the most well known michelin starred restaurants in America? Truly phenomenal.

Absolutely stunning meal. Service, Wine, Food - amazing. An incredibly thoughtful, well-balanced and designed menu, honoring the deliciousness of plant-forward food. This is a must when you are in Lisbon. Thanks Chef Joao.

Every single dish of food we had was simply excellent. We enjoyed every bite. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere/decor very trendy and pleasant, with the perfect noise level for conversation. They have a rotating menu with fixed price / course tiers. We highly recommend. One thing worth mentioning though is that the portions are rather quite small for the steeper prices, including the glasses of wine which aren’t quite 5oz.

Unassuming from the outside, great atmosphere on the inside. Limited menu (vegetarian and vegan) and all delicious. Artfully plated with attention to high quality. Reservation recommend even on a Tuesday for lunch.

Third time we have been to Arkhe and it never ceases to amaze. Each plate is poetry, a sensory experience like no other with an amazing combination of ingredients and cooking techniques. From the naturally fermented focaccia and bread to the delicious desserts and everything inbetween its just WOW. Congratulations for always delivering at the highest standards.

CALLING IT INCREDIBLE DOESN’T DO IT JUSTICE. Honestly one of the top restaurants in Portugal. Everything is stunning. The place, the service, the staff, the wine pairings, the food, the food presentation, the food taste. Go here and be amazed how vegetarian food can taste so much. What an enjoyable experience this was.

The food, service and atmosphere is absolutely next level. Every dish was so flavorful. They easily accommodated us as vegan and we even got the full menu! Amazing!!

We went here for lunch, and it was a prix fixe menu for 70 Euros for 3- course or think 90Euros for 5. We went for the 3-course and ordered drinks separately. The attention, service and food blew our minds. We were treated with impeccable attention. The portions seemed small, but when it was time for dessert, we were so full. Go here if you want to enjoy good vegetarian food & feel pampered.

Wonderland for the tastebud! Simply the perfect restaurant experience. Super friendly service and divine meal. I can’t even describe how delicious it was and beautifully presented. Amazing texture and flavors. Just wonderful!

Arkhe is a Michelin rated experience serving approachable vegetarian fine dining that all can appreciate. From start to finish you will be taken on an amazing culinary journey of amazing food and service. Our group chose the 5 course tasting menu, which we found to be the perfect selection. From the menu, the beetroot and mushroom dishes were the favorite starters, while the kohlrabi and ravioli were the stars of the main course, - with an honorable mention to the pumpkin gnocchi. Both the chocolate and apple desserts were sublime. Course one was served with an amazing homemade sourdough bread and smoked butter, while course two was served with a homemade focaccia and black garlic - amazing! The cocktails were bright, lively, and infused with kombucha. One from our group chose the cheese tasting, and the selection process in and of itself was quite special. Finally, our service was spectacular, with each team member clearly displaying their passion for what they do, and the food they serve. Their excitement is contagious and you are fully immersed into a beautiful evening. This is truly a memorable experience in more ways than just the amazing food. A true jewel in Lisbon. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

This place is truly something special. The food was so unique and flavorful, but not too “out there.” Very creative people who are passionate about food work here! The staff was so attentive it was almost scary (just kidding of course, but I went to the bathroom twice and came back to new and nicely folded napkins). They truly go above and beyond here, was a wonderful splurge while on our honeymoon.

Last week, I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday for the second time at Arkhe. On this occasion at the new venue, but despite the new surroundings, the atmosphere and essence of the place is still intact. We had the Carte Blanche tasting menu and every single mouthful was a bliss. Alejandro, one of the co-owners was as welcoming as always, chatting and attending everyone, also recommending a great bottle of wine to accompany our meal. The rest of the team were right on point with the service and carried out a seamless flow. I’m so thankful for making this celebration special and memorable, we will be definitely coming back! Obrigado

I went to Arkhe to celebrate my PhD defense with my husband. We went at lunchtime and opted for the 7-course tasting menu. It was a wonderful experience, the service, the ambience, the food, it was perfect. It is an expensive place, but it was absolutely worth it!!

Arkhe is an absolutely wonderful restaurant. The food here is incredible, the service is so attentive and the building itself offers a great setting. We opted for the Carte Blanche menu which was 7 courses for €95. Every course was delicious and presented beautifully. I would definitely visit here again.

Dazzled? That might describe our reaction to lunch at Arkhe. Vegetarian food- singing with complex flavors, textures and harmony? Yes. And wines that elicited "DAMN! that's good" - and then proceeded to dance with the courses? Yes, again. Three of us choose the 3 course meal- and each of us choose different dishes- so, 9 plates in total. EACH dish had surprising, ingredient combinations with thrilling flavors - simultaneously diverse and harmonious. The service was personable and exemplary. A truly amazing lunch.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful meal. (Original) Maravilhosa refeição.

Top notch gastronomic experience in Lisbon. The staff are extremely helpful & friendly. All my love to my fellow paulista in the kitchen. What a place and what a menu. Still mesmerised.

I ordered the 5 meal vegan option. Overall, the food was tasty, beautiful and well executed. Some of the dishes were better than others. The main vegan dish with kimchi tortellini was amazing, however the carrot main was disappointing. The vegan dessert was ok. Everything was really fine, but nothing really blew me away from the perspective of culinary innovation. I had slightly higher expectations considering the reviews and recommendations. The price also seems too high considering everything. Lastly, the wood chairs are extremely uncomfortable making it a bit harder to fully enjoy the experience. I tried moving to the ‘couch’ (if you can call it that), but it was equally unergonomic in design.

I'm not a vegetarian but coming to this place makes me want to become one. Food is really outstanding and the atmosphere reminds me of a NYish soho vibe. Truly impressive!

We loved the entire experience. The staff was lovely and attentive. The space was very cool with interesting decor and great plant life. The food was unique and interesting. We especially loved the starters and the desserts. We did the wine pairing which included lots of great wines from Portugal, France, and Germany. Highly recommend.

(Translated by Google) Very friendly, welcoming and very clean place (Original) Local muito simpático,acolhedor e muito limpo

Unbelievably outstanding dishes. A must GO for every foodie!

A really enjoyable very fancy experience of vegan food. Everyone is so attentive and takes really good care of you. They love their food and they show it. I was very impressed by the desert that blew me away: The Coco pepper ice cream was a revelation. I wasn’t clear on the matter when I went but it is an expensive place where you have to get a whole menu and not just 1 item.

(Translated by Google) The best vegetarian restaurant I know in Portugal. Never disappoints. Delicious, tidy, beautiful dishes, relaxed space and with incredible decoration. It is always worth a visit. (Original) O melhor restaurante vegetariano que conheço em Portugal. Nunca desilude. Pratos deliciosos, cuidados, bonitos, espaço descontraído e com decoração incrível. Vale sempre a pena uma visita.

Limited quantities prepared so better to book as once it’s gone it’s gone.

Amazing plant based meal!! It’s rare that as a vegan I get to enjoy such high quality, high-end meals. I enjoyed the service, the setting, the ambiance, and of course the food! I LOVED every course of this meal. I went with my non-vegan husband and he very much enjoyed his meal. Highly, highly recommend.

(Translated by Google) The food is great but two things monmi liked: the chairs are uncomfortable and the prices too high (Original) Il cibo è ottimo ma due cose monmi sono piaciute:, le sedie sono scomode e i prezzi troppo alti

Very special - an experience you should not miss. Exciting food and combinations of tastes - no need for fish or meat. Excellent stuff and service. Highly recommended.

Amazing, vegetables can be so tasty!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful site and great service. Tasty salty food, with interesting combinations and a lot of technique. The desserts were good, but one level below the salty part. The prices also seemed to me to be a little out of place (but not absurd). However, the overall balance is quite positive. (Original) Sítio bonito e com ótimo atendimento. Comida salgada saborosa, com combinações interessantes e muito domínio da técnica. As sobremesas estavam boas, mas um nível abaixo da parte salgada. Os preços também me pereceram um pouco desajustados (mas não chegam a nenhum absurdo). No entanto, saldo geral bastante positivo.

Absolutely amazing ! Every dish surprised us at how well all the flavours came together and the presentation was definitely at fine dining level. These guys have started something very special here and it deserves so much recognition ! We left on a complete high due to beautifully tasting food ♥️🙏🏽

Stunning, delicious and by far one of the best eating experiences in Lisboa. In one week we have been here twice, and in the last 2 years countless times. For us, is is getting better and better. We love this place and the incredible flavors Joao‘s creations places ARKHE easily among the best vegetarian/vegan restaurants in the world. Even meat eaters will concur that animals are not needed to satisfy us.

5 stars. Nothing less. Great and friendly service (also English and French speaking). Really excellent food! Nothing to critique.

Largely agree with the great reviews. The food was outstanding. We hat three starters, two mains and shared one desert. 5 stars for everything, wine included. This visit will be remembered as a highlight.

Came for lunch- menú do dia, although it was a little bit pricy compared to other lunch menus it was worth every penny of it. Recommendation: ORDER THE BREAD, the smoked butter is to die for!!!

Best vegetarian cuisine ever tried. Fabulous dishes. Excellent wine recommendations. 150% recommend!!

This is one of the best restaurants we've been to in Lisbon. The food really caught me by surprise, I didn't expect it to be so epic. Wow.

Outstanding restaurant. Loved every course and each wine pairing. Highly recommended

Wonderful prefixed menus. Limited rotating selections for dinner. Service is stellar, best I’ve experienced in Lisbon. At 100€ a person for dinner and wine pairing it ain’t cheap. For me, it is a very special occasion experience and not an everyday venue.

I had been to vegetarian restaurants before but this one takes it to the next level! Well done to the team behind. The experience starts when you enter, there is a rather chilled atmosphere, it's quiet yet animated and the staff are elegantly dressed. The bread served was delicious and so were all the dishes. A particular attention was given to the presentation of the menu and the wines. I wished I took photos of all dishes as there ware all superb. A safe address if you want to try somethign new or if you're not sure about vegetarian food. We only went for the 3 courses menu but will definitely come again to try the 5 or 7 tasting menus.

(Translated by Google) Unique and spectacular dishes (Original) Pratos únicos e espetaculares

Great tasting and well executed food, presented in a beautiful manner. Unfortunately the experience was sourerd by them overcharging me for the wine, which luckily I noticed. I was also charged for bread, even though this was put on my table at the beginning of meal without asking if I wanted it, so presumed that it was part of the meal that I ordered. I went for the seven course meal which wasn't cheap either, so wouldn't have expected to have to pay extra for bread.

Arkhe was recommended to me by a colleague, and when I first looked into the restaurant, I knew it would be a great dinner. We chose to have 5 courses, with wine pairings, all decided for us by the team. My expectations were far exceeded; every dish was delicious, beautifully plated and thoughtfully paired with a wine. Service was impeccable, timing and attention to detail were perfect. I wish that we were in Lisbon a little bit longer so we could try the rest of the menu before we return home to Slovakia. I dare not post the photos I took, as they won't do justice to the food, or the skill of the chef. A perfect dinner, and great surprise night out for my almost-vegetarian wife.

Absolutely amazing vegetarian restaurant which deserves a Michelin star! Quite unbelievable what the chef and team can do with vegetables. Beautiful dishes in terms of presentation and taste. And the wine pairing was great too. Congratulations to the entire team for creating such a wonderful restaurant. Will 100% be back every time we are in Lisbon!

As a party of 5, we shared 4 starters + 2 portions of Sourdough/Focaccia. We had one main each and finished by sharing the 2 deserts. From meat-eater to pescatarian, vegetarian/vegan, everyone thought this to be a delicious and fulfilling meal. Wine selection was great as well.

Our best dinner in Lisboa. Sour dough and artisan butter are only the first highlight. Dedicated service team with attention to detail. We love them

(Translated by Google) An excellent surprise! The food full of flavor, the wines so well advised, the peaceful atmosphere and the efficient and friendly service - 5 ☆ It is to repeat !!!!!! (Original) Uma excelente surpresa! A comida cheia de sabor, os vinhos tão bem aconselhados, o ambiente tranquilo e o serviço eficiente e simpático - 5☆ É para repetir!!!!!!

Incredible! Best vegetarian restaurant I have been to so far. Beautiful place, scrumptious food, great service and very clever wine /dish pairing. A must do!

(Translated by Google) Very high expectations for this restaurant. Unfortunately in 4 courses (2 starters and 2 main courses), I only enjoyed one. Most of them were too salty. Nice space and good service. (Original) Expetativa muito alta com este restaurante. Infelizmente em 4 pratos (2 entradas e 2 pratos principais), só apreciei um. A maioria deles estavam demasiado salgados. Espaço agradável e atendimento bom.

Wow! We had the best experience here. The food is AMAZING. Every course is expertly prepared, with stunning presentation. We will absolutely go back next time we visit Lisbon!

Best way to eat vegetarian 👍 friendly and highly qualified service. big recommendation

A incredible memorable experience-One of the best meals we have had in months . Whether or not you are vegetarian this restaurant is well considered with layers of flavours and textures that will make your senses dance for joy. If you are a foodie then this is your European foodie experience. We loved every bite even down to the smoked butter for the first bread taster. Its was all divine and now let you explore for yourselves if you are brave enough to be tantalised by the chef . An incredible experience of food and hospitality. Worth every cent. 👏👏👏
