    Delicious. Food for every yogi and surfer. Hippie chill place with good quality meals, selection of drinks and sweets. The vibes are great. Good energy. Vegetarian and vegan friendly. Highly recommended . Our favorite in town :)

    We had a nice Sunday brunch here (didn’t make any reservation but we were admitted in very quickly..) Food was very fresh and served pretty quickly 👌 nice spot overall.

    Tried the brunch (vegan option) and you may see how much it was bad from the pictures below. It was so terrible that I had to eat it all ! 🤣🤣 Seriously there is no denial! It was amazing! Great place great staff and perfect to share a nice moment and share at least the brunch option between family or friends! Highly recommend it! I stayed outside because I brought my dog and even though it rained it was ok thanks to their sun/umbrellas if I can call it that since they serve both purposes in that area 😅

    Vegan paradise. Unbelievably delicious brunch, staff is friendly and energetic, coffee from Nespresso is just what you need on a rainy day. and the vegan food is delicious, sweet and salty flavors and fills you exactly like vegan food does: enough but not too much, leaving you feeling energized and happy! Regret not coming here earlier and only discovering it on my last day here. If you’re vegan: don’t doubt, just go! 🌱

    Very nice place to have a strong breakfast (açai, omelettes, Benedict, pancakes…) Juices are very good

    Best food in Ericeria 🙏 we went almost every day of our week long holiday and were never disappointed. Endless incredible vegan options and all delicious 🤤 The vegan platter was so good that we want to travel back just for it! And the staff were so sweet ❤️

    Super delicious food but unfortunately dogs are not allowed inside… I guess the word for it is Speciesism. It is not ok and it does not match the (partially) vegan menu… So even with having a reservation and no statement about the “no dogs inside” policy on the website or the booking confirmation, we had to take a table outside on a rainy day. If we haven’t been driving to Ericeira for an hour just to have lunch there, we would have walked away… Rethink your policy, GIG.

    Great choice of gluten-free and dairyfree dishes. It was really busy when we came and took us about 20min wait to get a table. Service was friendly and attentive. Nice drinks, choice of different alternative milks and kombucha. The sweet potato Gnocci with vegan cheese were really good, but my partners falafel was dry and more like a scone. Great place to go for a healthy eat.

    GiG is amazing. The food here is so creative and delicious. We keep coming back. Favorite is definitely the veg GiG. Soooo yummy!!! Although we’ve got many more we want to try. The salmon tartare always look incredible too 😱

  • 5/5 Devin D. 9 months ago on Google
    My husband and I had the most incredible breakfast here. I really appreciate the health consciousness of the food without sacrificing any flavor- everything was delicious! We shared the avocado crostinis (on a sweet potato) and the açaí bowl. We were blown away. The service was wonderful and the staff so friendly. Visit here if you’re in the area, it’s so worth it!

  • 5/5 Clara S. 9 months ago on Google
    Great food with great healthy options! The chocolate mousse for dessert is a must try!

  • 5/5 James H. 6 months ago on Google
    Totally unique brunch option in Ericeira. Everything is gorgeously plated. Excellent, healthy fresh options for vegans and omnivores. Juices are excellent. Service is the best. Laid-back but well-designed vibe.

  • 5/5 Mercedes 1 year ago on Google
    We loved this place! We came for brunch in November 2022. It’s a great place if you’re looking for organic and healthy ingredients. We had some smoked salmon egg Benedict on sweet potato (highly recommend, delish!) and choco & coco pancakes with some coffee. One of our favorite places in Ericeira! About 10-15€ per person.

    I am so happy we found GiG while visiting Ericeira. The atmosphere in the cafe is really cozy and the service is both efficient and very kind! Everyone we interacted with had a smile on their face. We ordered two cappuccinos and a vegan blueberries coulisse which were very good. Definitely a recommended stop also for lunch, we saw delicious options on the menu but unfortunately we had to leave before it was lunch time. I am pretty sure next time I'll visit Ericeira I'll make sure to have lunch or brunch there.

  • 4/5 Lisa V. 6 months ago on Google
    I wouldn't recommend the salmon tartare. The restaurant is cute, menu healthy and the food looks amazing. But the salmon tartare mostly taste to plain rice and avocado. Maybe I was just unlucky so I would try something else next time

  • 3/5 agata 6 months ago on Google
    Very underwhelming experience. The matcha latte barely had any matcha in it, tasted like milk with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Food was unfortunately tasteless, presentation was very nice, but the hollendaise sauce didnt taste of anything, the meal was lacking salt and eggs were slightly undercooked. Service was average to good. Generally dont recommend.

  • 4/5 The Gourmet T. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the best brunch places in Ericeira. Lovely, healthy options with a colourful and creative flair. The watermelon juice was particularly nice, though often not available. It gets pretty busy, so booking is advised.

    We have walked past GiG many times, but we had a vegan visitor and stopped in for lunch. What a pleasant surprise! There are so many vegan options it was difficult to choose. We chose the Fun Bowl and was delicious. For the non-vegan, the salmon tartar was like a sushi roll in cake form also delicious. It took about 15 minutes to get the main dish, but the wonderful atmosphere made for a pleasant wait. The portions were more than we could eat.

  • 5/5 chloe e. 5 months ago on Google
    Food was incredible - lots of vegan options! The service wasn't 10/10 but was fine and it was busy. They forgot our acai bowl but that was fine and we didn't pay for it. Very busy place so book or be happy to wait - you will likely get a seat. I recommend for sure and will be going back

  • 5/5 Laura C. 5 months ago on Google
    Great to find some good vegan choices at GiG. The Sauté Tofu bowl was delicious! Good flavours, generous amount of tofu strips, mashed avocado, nori sprinkles, etc. The can of ginger beverage was served with a glass containing a finger of fresh ginger - a nice touch. Good, friendly service. Popular place, especially on a hot midday.

    My favourite place so far in Ericeira ! I had the pancakes everyday , but all good and drinks were really excellent. Super recommended

  • 5/5 Vu T. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is delicious and service is good. Cute breakfast place with a fun vibe. You will see mostly foreigners eating here. Best to make reservations as it gets very busy.

  • 5/5 Rafał S. 2 years ago on Google
    Healthy, nice looking and delicious food. Both dishes were perfectly balanced and fresh. Good address not only for vegetarian.

  • 5/5 Roland T. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent. And that’s not understating it — they really make amazing food, all they serve is well balanced and creates some delicious flavours. I haven’t had tapioca in a long while, but the combination with salmon, sautéed spinach and poached eggs was a real delight. The omelette was pretty much along the same trail — you’d never think it’s vegan food that is served to you, it’s that good. The turmeric latte was fresh boiled, beautifully reach in the flavours they added to the milk and nicely hot. Service was great, and sitting outside in the sun just made my day.

  • 4/5 Amber D. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food, great service. They have lots of vegetarian and vegan options, but I found the food to be heavier than you’d expect for “healthy” options. I got the scrambled eggs with sweet potatoes and chickpeas, which had a lot of oil. We also got he pancakes which were good, but dense and not fluffy at all. Decent spot and staff is friendly and attentive

Every dish (tried nearly all of them) is made of best ingredients and well balanced when it comes to flavor, texture etc. 👌 The team is super friendly, motivated and attentive. Muito obrigado GIG team🙏 GO GIG!

    High quality food and excellent coffee. It’s so nice to find a hipster cafe serving healthy food with plenty of vegan options. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 underthezee 2 years ago on Google
    Best healthy food place in Ericeira. The vegan brunch platter for two is our favourite. 👌🎉 a great choice if you’re coming with people who have different dietary requirements because there is something for everyone; vegan, vegetarian, fish, meat, gluten free etc. Lovely and accommodating staff, quick service.

    Really amazing and creative healthy meals, we went for brunch and lunch so tried a few things. Awesome atmosphere, nice location, incredible coffee and friendly staff. Service was quite slow because of how busy they are so don’t come in a rush, but definitely a place to visit while in Ericeira!

😠 We have been eating here for years. The quality of baked goods has gone from good, to worse than grocery store quality. Consistent downward spiral. The bread has no crust mushy and tasteless. The sweets are just ok. There are Many better places that know how to bake good Portuguese pastries.
