Lisbon ·Príncipe Real ·Restaurant
Alfarroba
A Picoas lunch institution where a rotating daily menu, anchored by that impossibly creamy chickpea burger and silky tofu stroganoff, makes plant-forward cooking feel like the most comforting food in the city.
What to order
- 1 Chickpea burger
- 2 Tofu stroganoff
- 3 Vegan Portuguese salami dessert
Insider tip
Ask the owner if you can try a small portion of each daily dish before ordering, at least one reviewer confirms they were happy to oblige, making it easy to navigate an ever-changing menu. Save room for the vegan Portuguese salami dessert, made without added sugar and unlike anything else you'll find in Lisbon.
