daTerra

I am blessed to say that I had the pleasure of eating at daTerra Baixa during my short trip to Porto. I tried it once and loved it so much that I ate at the restaurant every single day of my trip (sometimes even twice in one day). DaTerra is my personal heaven on earth, and if you are vegan, vegetarian, or simply someone who cares about the food that you're putting into your body, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! The food is amazing! There is such a diverse selection of food, including food that you've probably never heard of before, and it is all so good. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself is very nice. It's busy 24/7 so it's amazing how the staff are able to keep the place so clean - not to mention how effective they are when it comes to replenishing/replacing food on the front line. I visited this restaurant on the first day of my three-month solo trip and the staff were so kind to me, all of my nerves were washed away. I appreciate this restaurant so much. I can't wait to return. 10/10

A vegan buffet - are you serious? They are absolutely serious, and the food is good! I came for dinner and enjoyed everything. Highlights from the buffet were the pureed leek soup, and this sliced savory tart thing with flaky pastry crust surrounding a filling of eggplant and olives (possibly a vegan adaptation of beef wellington). The best thing overall was the hazelnut chocolate pie! Desserts are not included in the buffet price but it was delicious and more than worth the price.

We ate the dinner buffet, the food was plentiful and delicious. My omnivore daughter enjoyed her meal too, as did myself and another daughter who are both vegan. We ordered a dessert to share and it was also delicious. We had eaten at another location a couple of days earlier for lunch and enjoyed it and were excited to try this location in the heart of Porto. This location has lots of seating and table service which was nice. Don't miss this opportunity for a nice healthy meal whether you are vegan or not.

OMG!!!! In love the vegan options are amazing. The fast that it is a buffet for a responsible price everyone can eat here. The staff is super nice and has a family environment. Obsessed with this place

Cute little market with lots of food options. I was told to come here for the vegan food and it was delightful ! It's like buffet style and you pick out any and everything you want for a fixed price. The server even let me come back for seconds!

This is really the most amazing find ever in my 8 years as a vegetarian! A buffet~! For Vegans?!! Hallelujah~! We would be lucky to have a couple of choices at most, at most places, but this is a whole new world! I can't thank the place enough for feeding us so well!
This is truly delicious, fresh and wonderful!

Food was great-largely raw vegan, all you can eat buffet. Really relaxed setting. Only drink service (given you serve your own food) but great staff. Had a great selection on the day I went.

I'm going to start this review by saying If you have a nut allergy this is probably not the place for you. Both of my sons have nut allergies and we found daTerra to be a very stressful experience. We had to ask three different servers about what dishes were nut free until finding someone who was willing to go ask the chefs. He came back 15 minutes later and pointed out very quickly, which dishes did and did not have nuts. It was all very confusing and overwhelming and my older son who is a grown adult was as stressed as I was and he decided not to eat there and we left after my husband and I ate (my other son has fewer allergies so he ate some of the dishes too).

As for the food, it was okay but not great. I was underwhelmed by the protein options and vegetable variety in general. I still gave it 3 stars because it's nice to have a vegan option in Porto when meat and fish seems to be the only thing you can order at the majority of restaurants. But they definitely need to dial in the nut allergy situation!

Plenty of salads and healthy soup with rice and bread choices in the diner buffet. A little more flavor and spices would have done the trick and made it super enjoyable. Staff was friendly and the place quite spacious.

Vegetarian restaurants are hard to find in Portugal, and this one is a gem. We were tired of several days of Tasquinho fare (salted meat and fish), and although we are not vegetarian, we were hankering after some fiber and something fresh. Had walked by this place earlier in the day while investigating the small restaurant next door and decided to give it a try, and were very glad that we did. Service is buffet style - you order your beverage (wide assortment of juices, teas, wine, beer, etc) and then go get your food. Everything that we tried was tasty and well prepared. There are 3 hot entrees, a hot soup, and and a large selection of cold items (salads, skewers, grains) to choose from, and excellent desserts (which are extra). 11.50€ gets you all you could want of food that's delicious and actually good for you. Highly recommended.
