Organi Chiado

I had a delicious lunch in Lisbon, Portugal at Organi Chiado, an organic, vegan restaurant, centrally located, in the downtown area, which sources all its food directly from local farmers and producers. All the food is fresh, and free of chemicals and preservatives. I started with an appetizer combo of a homemade, cashew based cheese wheel, with fresh, moist, cut squares of homemade, gluten-free rice bread, and the most delicious Portuguese olives one can imagine, garnished with lime zest and minced garlic. I think that Portuguese olives are my favorite! They have such a rich, dynamic, and distinctively unique flavor! The waiter told me that the olives had been freshly delivered directly, earlier that day, by the olive farmer. I followed that up, with a generous, delicious, and satisfying main dish plate, comprised of all organic, baked carrots, baked red onion, baked sweet potato, baked tomato, fresh quinoa salad, large, fresh avocado slices, fresh raw red cabbage, arugula, walnuts, balsamic glaze, and crisp salad greens. I had a refreshing, cold glass of organic strawberry lemonade, made with the pulp of lemons and strawberries. This restaurant is a wonderful destination in Lisbon for vegans or anyone who appreciates vibrant, organic, farm to table food. Organi Chiado features both outdoor and indoor seating. It is best to walk here, or take public transportation, as it is in the heart of pedestrian and car crowded downtown Lisbon. Leave your car at home. It is up two large banks of steps on the side of a hill from the street. Photos, copyright: Joyce Glasgow, 2025

We just had one of the best meals at Organi Chiado. The staff were all very friendly and the food was incredible. We also had the white sangria which was really great. Highly recommend this place. Great quality and everything is vegan.

This restaurant is beautifully located and delightfully fresh!! I ordered the vegetable plate of the day, and it was satisfying and nourishing. My friends had the veggie burger and said it was yummy. We went back for the chocolate cake. Few days later, which is not to be missed!! Also notable was the cashew cheesecake, which takes 21 days to ferment/prepare, according to Wesley, who chatted with us on our second visit. Highly recommend!

If you're vegan/vegetarian this is a great option, they have really good food and juices, I went there with a friend and we ordered one salad, one pasta, and 2 juices. It was really delicious and at normal prices we spent like 35€ between both of us. The only complaint I could have is that the menu is really short, but it helps you order quickly. Great service, recommended.

Organi Chiado is centrally located in Lisbon and has a beautiful presentation. I went there for lunch—the food was thoughtfully prepared and visually appealing. However, as a longtime vegan, I found it not quite filling and a bit lacking in nutritional substance. Overall, a good experience, but there’s room for improvement in making the meals more satisfying.
