I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hello, we apologize for our slow response. We do have gluten free and vegan pastel de nata. No eggs and no coconut milk, no peanuts also, but have soya milk. Also we do have a good gluten free options.
Thank you"
I came here several times during my time in Lisbon as finding coeliac safe gluten free food was a real challenge and these galettes were absolutely delicious! The staff were so kind and helpful in making sure of no cross contamination and there were heaps of options to chose from.
It was the first time I went and I couldn't help but go back again. I was very well attended to and they did more than I asked for, given my lactose and gluten intolerance. Thank you for your care and kindness.
I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back " Hello Paulina,
Unfortunately we have bread in our kitchen so cross contamination can happen…
Sorry for that.
Thank you"

I booked on this site because I had read it recommended on Google. The truth is that the restaurant is very cool and they have a lot of varieties of French dishes: gluten-free, vegetarian... everything looked very good. We order the normal and the pure. The truth is that we expected something more, it wasn't bad but I wouldn't say it's the best franceshina I've ever eaten in my life. The treatment was very good and the atmosphere was very cool.
I emailed them to find out in advance if they could accommodate my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back " Dear Paulina, Thank you for reaching out. We would very much like to have you, and there are a few options on our menu that might be suitable, but we are afraid that our production environment may not be 100% safe for your requirements, as we have only one area where everything is prepared. Thus, we cannot
guarantee the absence of cross contamination. We don't have a certified gluten-free kitchen, and even with the attention and rigor we put in our operation, we fear that the risk may be unacceptable for you."
Super delicious food and a great selection of healthy dishes. There is something for all needs, whether vegan, vegetarian or with meat/fish or, as I need it, gluten-free. We were there for breakfast and took something with us for dinner, everything worked great. The infused water is also very tasty and there is a large selection and you can refill your glasses for free. The atmosphere there is also great, everything is very lovingly decorated, you feel very comfortable there.
Great gluten free options (sandwiches, buddha bowls, and a gf cake)! I had the veggie halloumi sandwich and my mom had a shrimp roll. Great spot for lunch in Belém.
I’m lactose intolerant and recently gluten intolerant too, here I had one of the best meals I’ve had since removing dairy and gluten from my diet, along with a delicious gluten free beer, staff were very friendly also 👌
A very good option for breakfast and for people with celiac disease too!
You cannot reserve, so arrive early since the place is not very big, we only had to wait 5 minutes for a table.
We decided on toast with eggs that were very juicy, with avocado, and we wanted to try the cheese and cold cuts tasting board, the pumpkin jam was delicious.
A good option for the tourist area.

No gluten free bread or wraps, but some options for vegan and gluten-free. This is why I can only give the food 4 stars, it would be so easy to have some frozen gluten-free bread and wraps for gluten free customers.
I'm vegan + Medical Medium + gluten-free and mostly fat-free.
I had lunch at Honest Greens by the harbour: SHAKSHUKA soup 6,95€ without egg to make it vegan. The white stuff on top is vegan cream. This tasty soup is made of stewed red and green bell pepper, onion, tomato and zucchini served with free-range low temperature cooked egg (if not vegan, then no eggs), tahini sauce and microgreens.
The soup had a great taste Mexican style but not hot. I wasn't oily like vegetable soups sometimes are, which was nice.
Though the soup was great, I'll probably not return, since there were only a few gluten-free options on the menu and there are so many other vegan restaurants in town to visit.
Also there was no place to charge the phone (the sockets for the plug-ins were made not accessible with screws in the holes).
EN: I had lunch at Aqarina yesterday and, although the atmosphere was pleasant and the food (gluten-free pasta with truffle cream) tasted good, the experience ended up going very badly. I clearly informed the staff that I have celiac disease and was told that the gluten-free pasta was cooked separately. However, I spent the rest of the day with diarrhea and still feel unwell today, with symptoms typical of gluten contamination.
This shows a clear lack of care when it comes to customers with dietary restrictions. Being celiac is not a choice — it’s a serious medical condition that requires strict handling of food. I sincerely hope the restaurant takes this seriously and improves its procedures, so others don’t have to go through the same experience.

Very friendly staff (thanks for serving us Roberto!), delicious food, slightly long but satisfying waiting times. Great variety of choices on the menu, excellent gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options. Excellent environment!
incredible brunch with welcoming staff and gluten-free options, a must in Lisbon. The gluten-free bread was one of the best ive ever tried, fluffy and dense which is extremely rare to find!
Delicious eggs benedict with gluten free option of having it served on a hash-brown instead of bread. Well-prepared iced latte, iced chai and cherry lime lemonade. Plus a very pleasant and helpful server as well who kindly brought us a bowl of water for our dog. Recommend!

A great place for friends. The dishes are excellent, the servers are very attentive, and despite a 10:30 p.m. reservation, we were very well received and ate very well (even gluten free). Thank you
All very good, also accessible for vegetarians, vegans and celiacs. Very nice place. Waiters helpful and fluent in English. I would happily stay here again. Truly highly recommended.
Went there with my fiancé for lunch. We got sat, and 10 minutes later we finally got our menu. Asked for tissues 3 times and still was ignored. At least the they got the pasta gluten free and right.
We really enjoyed having breakfast here with our two little kids. Atmosphere is super laid back. We could combine the food anyway we needed and wanted.
Gluten free options as well.
We had eggs, waffles, yoghurt, bread, coffee, matcha, cinnamon buns…..
Since everything was so easy and delicious we came here 3 days in a row.
Absolutely a recommendation!
Best of all the staff is super friendly and easy going. Looking forward coming again !
Went for a large group meal and had very quick service. The wait staff were lovely and very attentive. However would have liked a few more gluten free options.
Warning: it is NOT a place specifically for gluten-free cuisine, contrary to what appears on Google
Even though there aren't many gluten-free options on the menu, the staff is very open to changes and points out anything that may be contaminated.
The salads are not to be underestimated because they are very substantial and tasty. I had the seared tuna salad with black rice and avocado sauce
We had an incredible breakfast at Fauna & Flora in Lisbon! The gluten-free options were amazing—sweet potato in place of toast was a total game-changer. Every dish was beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. The portions were generous, and the whole place had a vibrant, jungle-chic vibe with lush plants everywhere. A total gem—don’t miss it!
One of the best spots in Lisbon for breakfast and lunch! Healthy, beautifully presented food made with the freshest ingredients and really nice specialty coffee and matcha. Plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available. Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere and a beautifully minimalistic design. Bonus points: they’re dog-friendly!
