About

Em Carne Viva serves inventive, vegan Portuguese cooking in a restored 19th-century house, with tasting menus built around dishes such as tofu à Lagareiro, onion tortellini and strawberry dessert. It also lists some items and tasting menus that aren’t vegan, so check which menu is fully plant-based when booking; expect a leisurely, pricey special-occasion meal, sometimes served in the garden.
