Kong - Food Made With Compassion
Kong is the definitive case for vegan Portuguese cuisine, skip the Francesinha on a first visit and go straight for the croquettes, the bacalhau com natas, and the 'Nata' tart you'll be thinking about on the flight home.
What to order
- 1 Portuguese Croquettes
- 2 Portuguese 'Cod' With Cream
- 3 'Nata' Tart
Insider tip
The Francesinha is divisive, one reviewer called it genuinely awful, and it's a complex, acquired-taste dish even in its traditional form. On a first visit, anchor your order around the croquettes and bacalhau com natas instead, which draw near-universal praise. If you're curious about the Francesinha, try it on a return trip when you know the kitchen.
