    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!

    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.

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

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

    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!

    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)!

    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!

    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. 🐱

    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.

    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..
