    Carrot soup and seasoned fries
    Stephanie N.

    We had a fantastic experience at Green Affair. It was my second time coming here, once for lunch and now once for dinner. For lunch I had had carrot ginger soup and seasoned fries. For dinner we had spring rolls, gyoza, tapas, salad, cauliflower wings, mushroom tacos and a pitcher of green sangria. Drinks were strong, service was fast and friendly, the vibe was great with outdoor seating. Good place to have a casual dinner out.

    Great service, friendly staff and the food was great. So many vegan options!

    Eating here was the perfect end to my trip to Lisbon. What a special restaurant, I wish I could duplicate it back home! I brought my carnivorous partner here and even he loved it. Every dish was made with so much attention to flavor, the drinks were spectacular, the ambiance was unmatched, and our waitress was so kind. We ordered about seven dishes and each one was more delicious then the next. I'm vegetarian but a very picky vegetarian, they were able to adjust my order according to my taste. There was no wait, we sat outdoors in their perfect patio and wholly enjoyed the experience.

    Organic Tofu à "Lagareiro"

    I went to two different locations and the food came out very fast and very fresh!!! Everything was so full of flavor. I think the Tofu "Salmon" was my favorite out of everything. I really like how the restaurant was set up. Very romantic date night type of vibe.

    Unique vegan dishes with flair! Food*** We ordered the tofu topped with seaweed atop mashed potatoes--on the menu this is the Boneless Lagierio. The tofu was flavorful and the mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious! We also had the Katsu Curry, which stated it was spicy but it wasn't at all. There were only two small pieces of tofu in it, which was very disappointing. The Curry was good but I would recommend they add more tofu to it. Lastly--we ordered Portugal's own green wine, but it tasted much like America's white wine! Not bad but not great in our opinion. Atmosphere**** Cute, cozy and quiet atmosphere with nice lighting and plenty of seating. Service*** Make sure you make a reservation although this isn't very clear because we went one day and we were told reservations needed and that they were full. Then we came back the next day without a reservation since the reservations were not working on their site and we were given a table. It's not clear how this system works. At the restaurant service was great, no complaints. Price$$ Entrees under $15usd

    Great food, excellent service, nice atmosphere a wonderful place for a vegetarian to dine in Lisboa.

    Burger & Fries

    The lemonade was tart. Just Lemon and water. Needed sugar. They charged .50 for ketchup and I had to request for it. They did not have any hot sauce .. Fries were bit oily. The chick pea quinoa burger patty was greasy as well and tasteless. Exterior was cooked but interior was not. The service was good. Young passionate happy employees.. Ambiance was great. I wish I could give a better review on the burger ..

    Katsu curry
    Lynne T.

    Happily, there seems to be a plethora of vegan places in Lisbon and Green Affair was our first stop when we arrived. Try the namesake "mocktail" and bruschetta starter, which was delicious and unique (no tomatoes for one!) - if this is signature Portuguese style we love it. Mushrooms and nutritional yeast gave it wonderful flavor. The Katsu curry main course featured amazing fried tofu that warranted the 2 thumbs up from my dining partner, and the "piece de resistance" of the meal - the fabulous chocolate cake at the end got the full high five! Definitely a winner. The staff was attentive and service was great - speaking English to my sorry and almost nonexistent Portuguese was much appreciated! Meals to fortify long walks exploring Lisbon are fantastic at Green Affair.

    I am an omnivore but accompanied a vegan friend to dinner here. Service was prompt and kind and my risotto and white wine were very good.

    My mom who's not a vegan or vegetarian loved the fried cauliflowers. We also got the pesto pasta which was delicious

    Unique recipes e.g. watermelon that is used to imitate Japanese sushi and is absolutely surprising and delicious.

A group of about 10 of us went along on a Saturday lunchtime, and they had very little trouble finding tables for us all in the upstairs area. There's a huge downstairs garden-type area too, which I imagine is nice and cool in the summer. I have no prior experience of Tibetan cuisine, but the speciality dish that I ordered was something involving seitan chunks and was tasty without being as spicy as I expected. I certainly felt that I was getting a well-balanced and nutritious vegan meal. Staff were very friendly and the service was pretty good considering our large number. But I have to take a star away from a full 5-star review for the cheezy muzak they were playing, which was some dreadful lounge music covers of Beatles songs. Simply ghastly, and completely out of place in the Tibetan atmosphere of the place. Some singing bowls and chanting would have been more appropriate. They also have a small shop at the front of the store selling incense, teas, prayer beads and other Tibetan ephemera; and on the top floor there is a Buddhist temple and school, where they run meditation classes and workshops. Sadly, they were closed on Sunday when we returned for lunch, otherwise I would certainly have returned there. A great asset in a city with depressingly few veggie outlets.

Food: 5/5 Honestly, everything was amazing. I wish American vegan food tasted this good (less salty & sweet). We started with their verison of onigiri and a fig salad. I really loved the soft and crunchy texture of the onigiri with a juicy marinated watermelon center. For entree, we got the couscous with Okra dish. If you don't like Okra this dish is not for you. But, it was light and flavorful (slightly sour). For dessert, we got a sampler since we could not decide. Clearly, my favorite was the chocolate lava cake but they were all so tasty! My partner got some green vine and I got green tea. You get a whole pot of tea - great value!! Service & Ambiance: 5/5 The decor was so cozy inside and the staff were amazing! I know little to know Portuguese but, they were super nice! All in all, I would definitely go back and all for ~51€!

I wasn't feeling super hungry so I opted to do a takeout box (€8) of their buffet food. The selection here was fantastic - many lentil/soy based protein options, a salad bar, rice and bread - really the perfect plant based meal where everything was tasty. My average rating really comes from my experience doing takeout. Maybe it's my American mentality, but when they handed me the takeout tray, I made sure to fill it up with as much food as possible (while not overloading). When I went to pay, the owner(?) scolded me and said it was now impossible to close and that I did not do this properly. I apologized and shared my embarrassment with them, but honestly - it was NOT that bad. I wasn't happy that they made a scene where everyone started staring as I continuously apologized and felt stern judgement. Finally, another staff member took over and closed the box for me and I paid and left. After sharing the photos with friends, nearly everyone concluded that it was not overfilled and definitely me just making the most of my limited space. Besides that experience, I still really appreciate them being available and would come back to do the actual sit down buffet so I can avoid this awkwardness again.
