Giola Gelato
Great vegan options €€
Sun-soaked gelato on Praça das Flores, the passion fruit is bracingly tart, the pistachio is the real deal, and the coconut is your dairy-free obsession waiting to happen.
What to order
- 1 passion fruit gelato
- 2 pistachio gelato
- 3 coconut gelato (sugar-free)
Insider tip
Pair the coconut with the dulce de leche for a combination that reviewers rave about, it sounds odd but it works beautifully. Stick to fruit and nut flavours to stay confidently plant-based, and note that dairy-heavy options like stracciatella are on the menu for non-vegan companions.
The area
Príncipe Real has the highest density of excellent restaurants in the city, upscale, unhurried, and easy to spend a full day in, with a Sunday antique market, a garden with views, and good eating at almost every turn.
