The vegetarian dinner was really nice! The wine too! And dessert was amazing! I didn't know that pepper added to my dessert could taste like this! I will definitely visit again!
One of the best restaurants in Porto, specially the vegetarian dishes ! I definitely recommend this restaurant ! The service is also really nice and it's a cosy place to have a quite and romantic dinner
Excellent vegetarian food (I am a meat eater who overlooked the meat and fish also available on the menu). Very good options - a lot to tempt you.
One of the greatest veggie lunch spots I've ever been. Location, service, food and pricing couldn't be better.
Delicious vegetarian food (even for non-vegetarians like me). Very good deserts too and a lovely place with a great space indoors and outdoors.
I'm not vegetarian and still I love going to Essencia, they have the best mushroom risotto ! Also the starters and desserts , one does not simply go to Essencia and not have the starters and desserts !
Every dish was delicious!! The starter of vegetarian sausage in pastry and the mushroom , chestnuts and truffle oil soup were superb! Desserts were great too!
Try the mushroom soup and the desserts as well . The place and the staff is amazing.
Nice vegetarian fine dining experience in Porto. The Alheria" is pretty nice. Also they have a small meat/fish section in menu for your friends. 🐱
Cosy space, with nice atmosphere, outside area really nice for summer nights. Excellent service and cuisine. 20/25€ p/person.
Careful with the appetizers (aka bread & stuff), 2€ per person even if you don't touch them! Other than that, excellent options, meat included. Try the house's chocolate cake (~Essência do chocolate )!
The best vegetarian restaurant in the country !! Opinion of a Vegetarian !!
One of the best vegetarian restaurants of Oporto. A must try while in town .
Staff is great in service. It is usually crowed and worth making a reservation in advance.
The almost invisible entry hides a wonderful place, with a fantastic terrace that makes you want to stay. Good vegetarian food and very fair prices .
A booking is recommended - nice and peaceful ambient - recommend starters and desserts :)
Such lovely staff and amazing food. Great for vegetarians and meat eaters . Amazing prices too.
Great vegetarian cuisine , cosy atmosphere , very friendly service and very moderately priced . Thanks for thus great experience!
Try the avocado cream for starter and the asparagus couscous ! It is simply delicious! ;)
Great selection of vegan and vegetarian options . Nice ambience!

Muy buen lugar, risotto de champiñones tremendo + Essencia de Chocolate . Para repetir
Refeições fantásticas num ambiente muito acolhedor. Tem uma das melhores esplanadas da cidade do Porto.
Ambiente calmo e elegante, uma bela esplanada para o verão, pratos bem confeccionados e excelentes sobremesas .
Já foi ótimo. Neste momento perdeu qualidade : os funcionários são fracos ( sem educação ) e os preços subiram. A vantagem é que o espaço continua agradável e agora já há muitas mesas livres..
Um dos meus restaurantes de eleição no Porto. Restaurante muito calmo e com atendimento 5 estrelas.
Ótima comida, bom staff , apresentação excelente, recomendo para quem gostar de vegetariano.... 😜😀👍
O melhor restaurante vegetariano do Porto. Obrigatório na sobremesa experimentar o cheesecake .
Excelente espaço e comida. Atendimento muito simpático. Mousse de amêndoa top. Recomendo
Espaço agradável e excelente terraço . Óptimas opções vegetarianas . Comida de qualidade média alta.
Vegetariano original y a un precio inmejorable! Lujo, calidad y buen servicio por muy poco.
