Excellent ! - food, service, ambiance.
The concept of offering the plant based version of the local Portuguese dishes is innovative and the dishes offered are too good! There is an interesting backstory that Is shared for each dish about its origins and how the plant based version is made.
We are glad that we found this restaurant.
It is definitely worth a trip from Porto city to this restaurant and worth it for the price as well.
We will definitely visit next time.
We look forward to seeing it soon on Michelin guide or even a green star :)

Some friends recommended this place and we came here during our holiday in Porto, and had 2 prefix menus, one with wine pairings and one with non-alcoholic pairings.
This is a place that tells a story in every bite or “moment” as they call their dishes. Moment is the correct terminology, because eating here is a full experience, not just the taste of the dish itself. Every moment had a story, often about the life of the chef and his family or about a specific region of Portugal. This is also a tasting experience that, definitely, is completed only with a drink pairing. The sommelier did an amazing job and introduced us to delicious Portuguese wines - the wine tasting along with the culinary dishes are in fact a journey across Portugal. We do recommend you to take the time and come here if you’re visiting Porto and are looking for a vegetarian/vegan tasting experience.

I initially gave them a 5-star rating, but my recent experience was a bit different. Let me take you through both visits, where we opted for the degustation menu each time.
The first visit was nothing short of amazing—a solid 10/10 experience. The owner and chef personally welcomed us, and the staff was exceptional—always attentive and caring.
The food was a delight, showcasing freshness and true haute cuisine mastery. They keep things exciting with a rotating buffet menu, exclusively vegan, which suits us perfectly. The culinary journey was a feast for the senses, each dish offering a unique flavor, cooking style, and presentation.
From the diverse dishes to the homemade kombucha and bread, every detail felt special.
Now, the second visit maintained the friendly and available staff, but the food didn't quite hit the mark. The 10-dish degustation menu displayed culinary excellence, yet there was an overload of carbohydrates and fats. Delicious, yes, but the absence of protein sources (think tofu, legumes, tempeh, seitan) was noticeable. Plus, the entire experience stretched over a hefty 2.5 hours—you might want to clear your schedule.
Overall, it was good, but the expansion of the degustation menu to 12 dishes from the original 8 could use some refining. I'm on the fence about returning, leaning towards a 'yes' if there's a protein-packed menu revamp.

Fantastic and innovative seasonal-based (the menu changes every 4 weeks) plant based cooking, the 10 “moment” course was brilliant! Wonderful staff and hospitality too. Thanks!

Amazing food and service. Recommend 100%. The only downside, unfortunately, is the lack of protein.

Amazing experience! The food is out of this world, the flavor combinations are incredible and the presentation is also lovely. The staff is super nice and the chef or a waiter will go to your table and explain everything about the dishes that you’ll be eating! It’s very well decorated and pleasant. I am definitely coming back for more.

I recently dined at Seiva and had the pleasure of enjoying their tasting menu. Overall, everything was truly exceptional. The dishes were expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. The attention to detail in the presentation was commendable, leaving me utterly impressed. The service was top-notch and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a delightful dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for its outstanding cuisine and exceptional service.

Superb service and really friendly staff. Original dishes with very nice presentation. Be warned though - portions are very small and prices are high for what you get. We also found the use of balsamic vinegar to be excessive and a little overpowering in all our dishes. Maybe we just chose badly.

Amazing plant based food.
All dishes are carefully thought out and well executed.
The customer service is excellent and they are always willing to help or clarify any doubts.
They also have a terrace service if you want to take your dog :)
Keep up with the great work.
