This cafe is not only stunning but the food tastes amazing and is very reasonably priced. The staff were lovely and so was the atmosphere. It was always difficult finding a cafe to accomodate a gluten free and vegetarian but this place ticked all the boxes. Would highly recommend!

We came across this restaurant by chance. What was our surprise when we discovered this incredible and charming place. First of all, the food is of impeccable quality! It is rare to find such a large choice of gluten-free dishes 🍕 🍝. From starter to dessert, there is something for everyone. Then, the staff is remarkably kind and attentive. Special mention to Enrique with whom we had the opportunity to speak and who was very attentive. Finally, what can we say about chef Sergio! A unique person, he speaks many languages ​​and exudes passion. We enjoyed talking with him on our last evening. 😊 To summarize, you can go to this restaurant with your eyes closed, you will not be disappointed. Good time guaranteed! Julie & Yann from Lyon 🇫🇷

I'm celiac and came here after reading the rave gluten free reviews. I ordered a gluten free pizza for takeaway. I confirmed when I was paying that the pizza was indeed gluten free - was told yes! I ate one piece once I got home, and felt extremely hesitant that this was really gluten free so I waited to see if I would be okay. After about an hour, I was profusely throwing up the entire contents of my stomach. Either this pizza was NOT gluten free, or it was - but gave me food poisoning. I almost never leave bad reviews - but this experience was awful.

Good vegetarian food! (And also other options). Lots of gluten free options. The sauces are TOP! And the place upstairs is very cozy for dinner. I would repeat a thousand times! :)

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hello, Paulina! We have several gluten-free and vegan options on the menu. From tapioca, salads, smoothie bowls, shakshuka, pancakes, etc. We'd also like to inform you that all toasts can be served on gluten-free bread or with a baked sweet potato base instead of traditional bread. You can see our menu at: https://www.zenithcaffe.pt/EmentaZenithPT.pdf // https://www.zenithcaffe.es/MENU_ZENITH_ES_ENG.pdf   However, given that all the products are made in the same kitchen and that we have very limited space, we can't guarantee 100% that there won't be any cross-contamination, even though we take every possible precaution. To date we have never had any reported incidents    If you come to visit us, we suggest that you inform the manager immediately when you order, so that we can take extra care.  We hope to see you soon, Zenith team "

Lovely bar where you can order all kinds of healthy things and where it is made on the spot. Large menu for gluten-free dishes. Here you can eat all day long for a nice price!

Breakfast was delicious! Had a line when we walked up but after a quick wait my gluten free French toast was soooo delish!! Highly recommend

Lovely place with many vegan-gluten free options. Food was delicious and the staff so friendly and helpful. I loved it!

Caroline Boucher

Great discovery. Super pleasant atmosphere. Extra welcome. ❤️ The manager made me my favorite gluten-free, lactose-free cake for the next day. I'd been dreaming about it for a long time. My dream came true here. An address not to be missed. Thank you!!!

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hi Paulina,  We do have a gluten free menu.  When you visit us, please inform the server of all your allergies, our staff will certainly provide you a meal free of allergens.  Check attached our full menu allergens for your consideration prior to your visit.  Thanks"

Extremely delicious and special. Tasty AND healthy is rare :). In addition, a lot of the food was gluten-free, which is a huge relief for people with celiac disease. Would come back at any time!

Miriam Jean-Jacques

Really enjoyed this place, there was a big variety of food and a good atmosphere. A good place for a first date or just for an affordable dinner. All-you-can-eat lettuce was a godsend in this gluten-full, pastry-for-breakfast/lunch/dinner continent. Great place, extremely recommend.

Fantastic food & quality! (tuna tacos are simply AMAZING!). Tasty gluten free beer. Super efficient & friendly servers. One of the best places to eat in Porto!

Very nice place! They accommodated my food allergies and intolerances. They were very kind about this. If you have a gluten / dairy allergy, let them know.

My family and I all agreed that this was the best meal we had during our entire trip to Portugal. Sooo many creative flavor pairings. Options for veggie and gluten-free eaters, which is important to us. Our table wasn't ready at our reservation time, but we didn't mind waiting outside for a few minutes and watching the local nightlife. They even offered us shots on the house of Beirão which was super sweet of them and also my new favorite liqueur. Thank you!

It’s 100% gluten free , certified by APC.

Mads

Wonderful experience, everything gluten free & plant based. All made fresh. Food was very special. Definitely recommend a visit.

Leo Guntli

Amazing! Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had in my life!!!(you have to advise them 24 hours in advance for the GF dough) The non-gluten free pizzas are also very very good! Staff is very helpful and funny. I will come back here for sure!

I was so looking forward to come to this place, after having been to other Jose Avillez restaurants. This one was such a disappointment! The service was bad from start to finish, started off with a grumpy lady waiter that couldn’t be bothered to wait for us to choose, even though we had a coeliac child and needed to make sure what was ordered was safe. We were then served by another waiter, but it turns out half our order was already sent to the kitchen. Our food came in different times and the steak was cold. Two starters ordered first arrived after the main meals and again( one of them was cold. We sent the steak back, but everyone else had eaten their meal by the time it returned without even an apology. I think Jose Avillez should ensure the standard of his restaurants remain high, otherwise people will come out disappointed and write reviews similar to the recent ones here.

Eric Wallace

Better flavors and quality than the gelato place across the street (yes, of course we tried them too!). The flavors list is labeled for gluten-free options (so you don’t have to ask). Staff are quite friendly and competent in multiple languages. I’m tempted to deduct an atmosphere star for the ear-wormy pop music… but no, they deserve all the stars.

Lilith Lensing

Best Eggplant I have ever eaten!! Such a nice service! Everything is vegan (but you can’t tell a difference between non-vegan food) - some dishes even with gluten free options. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Lisa Syverson

This is a very small restaurant run by a chef and a hostess/server with excellent tapas style food. We had an amazing experience here and some of the best salmon poke and tuna we've had. I am gluten free and although they don't have a dedicated Gf kitchen space or gf bread, we were seated at the counter when we could see the chef prepare the food and he was very careful about preparation. You could tell that he is well organized and always prepares food with care and it was not just because we could see him. Because it is a small restaurant, nothing is fast, but it's totally worth the wait.

Robin Muzzarelli

Incredible taste experience! The waitress is super nice, the dishes are tasty - balanced - varied, the prices are extremely reasonable for clearly satisfying quantities, all vegan and gluten-free! A delight and incomparable kindness! To try if you go to the Bolhao covered market.

Great vegetarian buffet! You can load Up your plate twice & get soup. That plus a water was €14. They had a lot of gluten free options too. I left very stuffed.
