Located within the sloping labyrinthine streets of the multicultural Mouraria district, The Food Temple is Lisbon’s oldest vegan restaurant. It features a snug indoor space, with diners able to enjoy a relaxed meal in the warm ambience of the beautiful steps in the quaint cobbled square outside. The Food Temple has been reinvented on multiple occasions but has always been founded upon enriching food and exceptional hospitality. Its seasonal menu changes with the chefs’ varied inspirations, offering a range of alluring appetisers, yummy mains and heavenly desserts designed to be shared for a community feel. A curated list of craft beers, organic sodas and natural wines handpicked from local producers complements the flavours of the food, adding to the unique identity of The Food Temple.

- Jay ClaytonSun, 18 Feb 2024 22:05Really delicious meal, we went for the tasting menu and it was great value and so much better than we could’ve expected. Really special food, lovely staff, an intimate nice space to eat and the best vegan food we’ve had in Portugal. Would definitely recommend to any friend who visits Lisbon.

I believe that part of saving animals is creating great & viable alternatives to mainstream restaurants. Food Temple during our visit wasn’t a great or viable alternative. Our server was intoxicated, which doesn’t particularly bother me much, but the smell of stale wine on their breath while being given a wet & stained menu to order from set our experience off. The food was served promptly - the feta/tomato appetizer decent, the sourdough bread was tough & not fresh, the garlic oil appetizer was an extremely small portion for what you pay for. The entrees LOOKED good, but to us none of the tastes & textures seemed thought through very well. Neither of us finished our portions, the cauliflower was old & darkened. Maybe Food Temple was having an off night that night, it happens - but out of all of the vegan restaurants we tried in Lisbon, punch for punch, this is the most expensive dinner we had. Kid of disappointing. We won’t be returning here, but don’t let it dissuade you from trying it out yourself - the area in which it’s located is quaint & the outdoor seating on the stairs seems like it’s a terrific & chill concept.

Really interesting and quirky outdoor seating area on the steps in a pretty back street (also a indoor area) Small menu but I believe they change it regularly. We enjoyed everything. Only would say the vegan cheeseboard could have some crackers or bread included with it. The wine was delicious too! Good price overall and the staff so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend and will go again when in Lisbon.
