Amazing vegan restaurant located here in the Baixa Chiado district of Lisbon. This spot serves up traditional plant-based fare as well as vegan twists on Portuguese cuisine.
I tried their Spinach Croquettes and their take on Polvo Lagareiro, the grilled octopus over a potato/spinach mash. First off, the croquettes were fire and a great treat to start the meal. The octopus they used was essentially a marinated tofu with seaweed to mimic that fishy taste and texture. I thought the tofu itself was decent, having made something similar myself. However, the mash underneath was the highlight and what I enjoyed the most of the meal.
Along with the food, I also loved the interior - lots of plants to create that relaxing setting, and plenty of tables on both levels. I made a reservation but fortunately the restaurant wasn't busy on the day I went. It's recommended though during high season in order to ensure you get a table.
The Green Affair was a solid spot to enjoy a meal and I would recommend it to anyone (vegan or not) if they're looking for a good meal in a lovely environment. read more
