We went here today and really enjoyed our dinner. The place was recommended to us by vegetarian friends. All dishes offered are vegan and are offered as an all you can eat buffet. Everything we tried was tasty and fresh. We loved the beetroot orange salad and the electric berry juce. On some dishes we missed the refined taste, but overall it was a great experience, in a very modern style restaurant with nice and attentive staff and we would definitely come again. We give 5 well deserved stars. Buffet: Euro 12.50 per Person, glass red vine Euro 6.00, electric berry juce Euro 4.00. read more

This is a popular Portuguese chain with many locations in Porto. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and immediately seated. The server asked if this was our first time dining there, and we said yes. He then explained the buffet options, drink ordering, and payment process. The buffet line had a wide variety of food choices, each labeled with the ingredients. I tried a small sample of everything, and let me tell you, I was stuffed! I didn't think I had room for dessert, but when the table next to us ordered the banoffi pie, I found a tiny bit of room, barely. The food was absolutely delicious, and the wait staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. The store we stopped in was well-lit and spacious, with plenty of tables. read more

Big places inside and some outdoor seating. I have tried their buffet in the lunch hours. Tons of options but most of food was dry for my taste. For drinks you have to pay extra. I have tried the juice really good. read more

We got the lunch buffet, it was so diverse! So many delicious options. A single plate filled me up. The staff was very friendly, fast, and attentive. Tables are not too crowded together. I will be back my next visit to Porto. (: read more

daTerra - Lunch buffet - Vegetarian Near Me - Porto, 13

daTerra Baixa offers a vegan buffet just off the R. das Flores shopping street. The offerings here were diverse and included basic vegan fare like lettuce salad with avocado and strawberries; beet and carrot slaw; marinated red cabbage; roasted cauliflower; roasted Brussels sprouts; Russian salad of chopped potatoes, peas, and carrots in a creamy dressing; roasted carrot puree; shots of beet and ginger juice; lentil fritters; and marinated cucumber "carpaccio." Some of the bready items included dried tomato focaccia; cornbread; sweet potato wraps; and crostini with olives and grape. The hot offerings included spinach and mushroom lasagna; tofu topped with pineapple sauce; and my favorite, a flaky, crispy cheese borek pie. Overall, the food here was colorful and fresh, though a bit lacking in flavor and seasoning. Nevertheless, you couldn't beat the price of 12.5 Euros for unlimited helpings during dinner! read more

Porto doesn't have anywhere near the amount of plant-based/vegan restaurants/eateries that Lisbon does; however, daTerra came highly recommended and was a close less-than-10-minute walk from our apartment on the Ribeira, and their buffet offered us a good amount of choices all being 100% vegan. (And, too, the prices were cheap--can't complain about that!) Apparently, the buffet changes daily, so for our 3-night stay in Porto, we popped into daTerra twice (once for lunch; once for dinner). The staff on both occasions were simply terrific--a great group of people! For me, let's say two-thirds of the buffet was YUM; one-third was not to my liking. But, hey, that's a buffet for you: somethings are hits; something are misses--that's why you've got a large variety of food stuffs to choose from. Wines and beers were extra, but food and drinks are so cheap in Portugal that it didn't matter. The fancy desserts were extra, as well; but, again, who cares if it tastes great and is reasonably priced! In sum: daTerra's food rates a very solid 4-star rating from me, and I give it an extra star for the friendly service. read more

A vegan buffet - are you serious? They are absolutely serious, and the food is good! I came for dinner and enjoyed everything. Highlights from the buffet were the pureed leek soup, and this sliced savory tart thing with flaky pastry crust surrounding a filling of eggplant and olives (possibly a vegan adaptation of beef wellington). The best thing overall was the hazelnut chocolate pie! Desserts are not included in the buffet price but it was delicious and more than worth the price. read more

daTerra - Chocolate cake/pie (amazing) - Vegetarian Near Me - Porto, 13

I am blessed to say that I had the pleasure of eating at daTerra Baixa during my short trip to Porto. I tried it once and loved it so much that I ate at the restaurant every single day of my trip (sometimes even twice in one day). DaTerra is my personal heaven on earth, and if you are vegan, vegetarian, or simply someone who cares about the food that you're putting into your body, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! The food is amazing! There is such a diverse selection of food, including food that you've probably never heard of before, and it is all so good. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself is very nice. It's busy 24/7 so it's amazing how the staff are able to keep the place so clean - not to mention how effective they are when it comes to replenishing/replacing food on the front line. I visited this restaurant on the first day of my three-month solo trip and the staff were so kind to me, all of my nerves were washed away. I appreciate this restaurant so much. I can't wait to return. 10/10 read more

Amazing Vegan Buffet at great prices! Wait staff was very attentive. Nice modern restaurant. Highly recommended!

We ate the dinner buffet, the food was plentiful and delicious. My omnivore daughter enjoyed her meal too, as did myself and another daughter who are both vegan. We ordered a dessert to share and it was also delicious. We had eaten at another location a couple of days earlier for lunch and enjoyed it and were excited to try this location in the heart of Porto. This location has lots of seating and table service which was nice. Don't miss this opportunity for a nice healthy meal whether you are vegan or not. read more

Cute little market with lots of food options. I was told to come here for the vegan food and it was delightful ! It's like buffet style and you pick out any and everything you want for a fixed price. The server even let me come back for seconds! read more

After a delicious but heavy traditional Portuguese hotel breakfast at Hotel Infante Sagres, I needed a light lunch to tide me over for the afternoon. I eat gluten-free and I noticed that this place had a lot of options for me. The menu changes every day so I won't get into specifics, but there are so many options in the buffet that anyone with vegan or gluten issues will be really happy. The staff went around and helped point out everything gluten-free I could eat. They are supposed to have signs marking everything but didn't have them all up. I could probably eat 60-70% of the buffet. Everything was really tasty and high quality. My favorite thing was the range of colors on the table. I was sure to get as many as possible. I was pretty full even without being able to eat the bread because they had potatoes and rice. Almost everyone had a colorful drink at their table although I didn't get one. Next time I'll try one. read more

OMG!!!! In love the vegan options are amazing. The fast that it is a buffet for a responsible price everyone can eat here. The staff is super nice and has a family environment. Obsessed with this place read more

This is really the most amazing find ever in my 8 years as a vegetarian! A buffet~! For Vegans?!! Hallelujah~! We would be lucky to have a couple of choices at most, at most places, but this is a whole new world! I can't thank the place enough for feeding us so well! This is truly delicious, fresh and wonderful! read more

rose: the potato gratin, stuffed bread, shot, and soup were amazing. everything else is alright, not game changing though. thorn: wasn't a huge fan of most of the other dishes bud: if you're traveling on a budget, def try this! if you have a larger budget, i think there's much better options of food to try in porto. i probably wouldn't come here again on this trip though. read more

I'm going to start this review by saying If you have a nut allergy this is probably not the place for you. Both of my sons have nut allergies and we found daTerra to be a very stressful experience. We had to ask three different servers about what dishes were nut free until finding someone who was willing to go ask the chefs. He came back 15 minutes later and pointed out very quickly, which dishes did and did not have nuts. It was all very confusing and overwhelming and my older son who is a grown adult was as stressed as I was and he decided not to eat there and we left after my husband and I ate (my other son has fewer allergies so he ate some of the dishes too). As for the food, it was okay but not great. I was underwhelmed by the protein options and vegetable variety in general. I still gave it 3 stars because it's nice to have a vegan option in Porto when meat and fish seems to be the only thing you can order at the majority of restaurants. But they definitely need to dial in the nut allergy situation! read more

What we got: €9.90 dinner buffet Pros: - This was right beside our hostel (Best Guest Hostel) in Porto and we were looking for something with vegetables as the Portuguese diet was very much meat, seafood, and potatoes. - The price was very reasonable and the items changed with each day. I highly liked the mango polenta and curry cauliflower. On another day, they also had stuffed mushrooms. - There was also a good squash soup, which is nice to have something to drink as water is expensive. - I find the menu at this restaurant to be more creative than traditional vegan/vegetarian restaurants, rather than the typical salad, falafel and tofu- you can see the pictures of the different options they had. They also cater to gluten free options. - This restaurant was also quite large and can fit many people, I only waited 5 min for a group of 4 around 7:30 on a weeknight to get in. - Excellent area, lots of things to do after eating. Cons: - Unlike a traditional North American Buffet, the desserts are extra cost. However they do look very good and might suggest you try! read more

Food was great-largely raw vegan, all you can eat buffet. Really relaxed setting. Only drink service (given you serve your own food) but great staff. Had a great selection on the day I went. read more

After a few days of traveling around Portugal and indulging in pasta and endless pasteis de nata, finding daTerra for a healthy meal couldn't have come at a better time. We were hungry, wanted veggies, and something healthy. daTerra does a buffet style and for a really reasonable price! The presentation was also really nice and not the usual buffet style with food in a heating dish under some heat lamps. They had quinoa salads, rice, roasted veggies, and various other salads to choose from. Perfect spot if you are a vegetarian. Knocking a star off because my friend and I ordered smoothies and they were a little watered down and didn't taste too great. Not sure if that's a Portuguese style smoothie, but if you're used to something thicker then I'd pass on a smoothie. Note - they don't take card here so you'll need to come prepared with cash. There's an ATM around the corner but you'll probably get hit with some fees depending on where you're traveling from and your bank. read more

This restaurant was unbelievable! We went on a Wednesday afternoon and it was packed. The food was wonderful and there was a ton of variety, for the pickiest of eaters. The service was also great and the dishes that were low continued to be quickly replaced. This would definitely be a place I would go everyday if I was a local, but will be returning soon! read more

Vegetarian restaurants are hard to find in Portugal, and this one is a gem. We were tired of several days of Tasquinho fare (salted meat and fish), and although we are not vegetarian, we were hankering after some fiber and something fresh. Had walked by this place earlier in the day while investigating the small restaurant next door and decided to give it a try, and were very glad that we did. Service is buffet style - you order your beverage (wide assortment of juices, teas, wine, beer, etc) and then go get your food. Everything that we tried was tasty and well prepared. There are 3 hot entrees, a hot soup, and and a large selection of cold items (salads, skewers, grains) to choose from, and excellent desserts (which are extra). 11.50€ gets you all you could want of food that's delicious and actually good for you. Highly recommended. read more

I love this place. The food is pretty amazing- and the burgers we saw must have been some of the biggest burgers I've ever seen. Everything was refreshing and delicious and LIGHT- because most of the meals we had in Portugal were super heavy. Fried fish, fried potatoes- it was nice to just get some fruits and veggies and clean food. Also, they have beer, which is very important. read more

But for Italian food, it is hard to find any vegetarian friendly place in Portugal. We were recommended this place by the hotel concierge and couldn't believe that we didn't find it ourselves while looking for a veggie friendly place to eat. This place is super awesome. They have vegetarian buffet for lunch but it was closed by the time we got there. So, I ordered from the menu and chose the tofu mushroom burger which came with fries. The burger was so delicious - way better than many other veggie burgers that I have had. The home made sauce in the burger was unbelievable. Everything looked and tasted very fresh. They also make fresh juices and desserts. Service was pretty slow but the staff were very friendly. Must eat place in Porto if you are looking for vegetarin options. read more

Great selection and friendly, efficient service. Soup was served nice and hot unlike many restaurants in Portugal. Can't say the same for the other entrees but that must be the local preference. Favorites were the onion bread and pears. They do close between 3:30 and 7 PM. read more

Plenty of salads and healthy soup with rice and bread choices in the diner buffet. A little more flavor and spices would have done the trick and made it super enjoyable. Staff was friendly and the place quite spacious. read more

DaTerra has a bright, clean, open ambience when you walk in. The service is pretty quick which is not common in Portugal so great job there. It's a fun experience to come to a vegan buffet but perhaps like any other buffet, the food was just okay. There was a great variety of salad, many veggies, soup, noodles, rice & grilled seitan. Aside from the buffet, you also have the option to order off a menu which may be better than the buffet but I can't comment on it. Given this place is right by the main train station, it's a quick & easy meal for vegan/ vegetarian eaters who need some sustenance in quality. read more

Very good food ~ The location is really nice, slow side street. The menu is full of healthy drinks and delicious vegan food. They also serve a good Buffett. The service was miserable. Incredibly slow - I went inside to order three times, had to remember the waiter twice and when the food was on the table, knife and fork were absent. Nobody took care. But three stars for the very good food. read more

A great stop for any foodie! Fresh ingredients that will leave your palate buzzing only to find yourself back at the buffet refilling your plate. Beware for tourists only euros or Portuguese credit cards taken here. As a meat lover this place is way above any of their other eateries around. read more

Great vegan restaurant in the heart of downtown Porto. I made it here for lunch during the week and it was quite busy. For lunch, they offer a buffet menu with several vegan options to choose from. If i'm not mistaken the lunch is priced at around 8 euros but it doesn't include drinks or dessert. Try some of the desserts! Vegan deliciousness :) Staff is great and the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. Definitely a great option when in the area. read more

Amazing vegan food at a completely reasonable price. I'm a meat eater, so a vegan restaurant isn't exactly my go-to spot, but I was with a group and they wanted to go. After eating here, I think I might need to go vegan. The food was absolutely amazing and I was marvelled at how they can create such unique taste with strictly vegan ingredients. The place is set up as a buffet for 9.90€. Drinks and desserts are extra. I saw the menu has meals you can order instead of the buffet, but the value play is to definitely choose the buffet option. To be honest, I doubt many people don't do the buffet. It was busy when we were there (2pm on a Sunday), but I didn't see anyone wait more than 5 minutes for a table. It was usually just a matter of them getting the table cleaned up and ready for the next group. Make sure you try a bit of everything, just to appreciate all the unique flavours and then on your second plate go back to get larger portions of your favourites. Some my favourites they had when I was there were guacamole, coleslaw, this sweet potatoes mix and the beet salad. I would definitely recommend coming here as it's a nice change up from eating meat and carbs, which are staples on vacation. read more

This was an interesting vibe. The place is a buffet style, but initially looks like a classy place. Food was ok, kinda tastes like "buffet quality". The deserts were nothing impressive either. read more

Service was friendly and the restaurant was packed on a weeknight. They had a variety of options to choose from during their nightly buffet. Mostly everything we tried was good, especially the spring rolls. I do wish they had one dessert offering as a part of the dinner buffet though! read more

Amazing vegetarian restaurant in Porto. Great value as it's a buffet with many, many choices and you can go back many times. After so much pork and fries and sandes we needed vegetables and they delivered! We filled up and then purchased takeaway boxes for picnic lunch the next day.

By the time I arrived in Porto, I was craving a good-quality healthy meal. Da Terra did not disappoint and I ended up coming here three days in a row. They have a lunch buffet for 7.5 euros and a dinner buffet for 9 euros. The dishes change regularly and are all vegan and very healthy and creatice. This restaurant is on one of Porto's main streets. They have free wifi that is better with fewer people on it. My only complaint is that one of the male servers was so extremely rude - not bothering to explain anything to us, being "too busy" to help me pay the bill, and just all-around acting annoyed that we were there. He's tall with full facial hair and kind of messy hair. So, try and get someone else to help you so you don't have to deal with him! read more

daTerra is truly a unique dining experience. It's a buffet style meal with solely vegetarian options! A complex combination of cuisines and cultures in every individual dish. The food is fresh, well prepared, and nicely presented. I would definitely recommend a visit. read more

It's wasn't all delicious, but it was all GOOD, at least. And it was a blessing to find. Very healthy feeling and excellent variety. Could have been more protein options. Rice doesn't count to me. They had some soy Benedict that was nice. The Brussel sprouts were the delicious thing. Hummus was dull. Nice atmosphere. If I was here for 5 days I would come here all 5 days - but i would need to find some protein powder or something somewhere else or go eat fish somewhere else in the day. Def recommend. read more

I ate at Daterra maybe 6 times during my stay in Porto recently. Delicious, cheap, and the menu offerings change on a daily basis. Love this place! read more

Love the ease and taste of this buffet! There was a wide variety of food, altering hot and cold dishes, and the staff was perfectly friendly. The price for the dinner buffet was excellent and I was happy to see that they also sell a to-go box for a few dollars more. I do wish that the dessert was included in the buffet, but even without that it was a good value. My omni husband ate here with me and even he liked it! read more
