If you’re planning a European city vacation, Lisbon checks all the boxes. The city offers stunning architecture, vibrant café culture, fascinating museums, and plenty of nearby beaches. And it has incredible food—one of the most important parts of any vacation. Below, you’ll find some of the best vegan restaurants in Lisbon, offering something for everyone, from traditional Portuguese dishes to indulgent comfort food and sushi.

Is Lisbon vegan-friendly?

Lisbon is undoubtedly one of the most vegan-friendly destinations in Portugal—if not all of southern Europe. According to HappyCow, the city boasts nearly 40 entirely plant-based restaurants, and plenty more vegan-friendly eateries.

“There were no issues finding vegan food in Lisbon, and we also found a lot of traditional ‘veganized’ dishes to eat (which is surprising and good because Portuguese cuisine is known to be extremely heavy on animal products),” writes Nandita of the vegan travel blog VeganHaven.

Indeed, traditional Portuguese dishes are often rich in animal products. Bacalhau à brás, for example, features shredded salted cod, eggs, onions, and potatoes. Feijoada is a bean stew commonly made with pork or beef. And francesinha is a decadent sandwich layered with meat and cheese, topped with a beer-based tomato sauce.

Luckily, some of the restaurants listed below offer plant-based versions of these classics, letting you enjoy the flavors of Portugal without any animal products. And if you’re in the mood for something else, there’s also vegan sushi, burgers, pasta, and much more.
