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!

Teresa

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

Diana Goodwin

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.

Baris A.

One of the greatest veggie lunch spots I've ever been. Location, service, food and pricing couldn't be better.

Abel Francisco Baptista

Delicious vegetarian food (even for non-vegetarians like me). Very good deserts too and a lovely place with a great space indoors and outdoors.

Joao Rola

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 !

Martina Prosperetti

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!

João Figueiredo

Try the mushroom soup and the desserts as well . The place and the staff is amazing.

Slava

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. 🐱

Rui Pedro Silva

Cosy space, with nice atmosphere, outside area really nice for summer nights. Excellent service and cuisine. 20/25€ p/person.

Cosmin Pitu

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 !!

Alessandra Dorante

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.

Filipa Ferreira

Refeições fantásticas num ambiente muito acolhedor. Tem uma das melhores esplanadas da cidade do Porto.

Paulo Graça

Ambiente calmo e elegante, uma bela esplanada para o verão, pratos bem confeccionados e excelentes sobremesas .

Maria Silva

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..

Gil Azevedo

Um dos meus restaurantes de eleição no Porto. Restaurante muito calmo e com atendimento 5 estrelas.
