The gastronomic world is changing and the most recent global trend is making people become vegetarian or adopt a vegan diet. Although there are also those who simply enjoy this gastronomy. We made a selection of some of the best vegetarian restaurants in Lisbon.

 

As you have probably already noticed, visiting Lisbon is, above all else, an amazing gastronomic experience. Portugal has been establishing itself as one of the must-visit destinations for the gastronomic tourism lovers. While staying at Luzeiros Suites, it is common for guests to ask about the best places to enjoy regional flavors.

Evidently, much of Lisbon’s gastronomy will end up being typical Portuguese dishes which include cod dishes and stews. For those who have adopted an alternative diet based in sustainability and ecology, it is important to be aware of all the equally appealing and delicious dishes without animal protein.

Our unit in Lisbon knows how important it is to combine the best flavours with the heritage and natural wealth of the capital, and does not want you to miss out on Portuguese cuisine just for following a different diet. Therefore, we chose the seven best vegetarian restaurants in Lisbon with you in mind. Get to know them:
