About us
Lisbon’s first vegan restaurant.
The Food Temple opened 12 years ago as a pioneer of vegan cuisine in Lisbon, and has never left the heart of Mouraria. Waiters, foodies, chefs, friends, customers, and neighbors contributed to creating the unique identity of this place.
As the restaurant has proudly had several lives, we now want to share our excitement as we write a new chapter of The Food Temple’s story with longtime supporters and new comers night after night.
You'd like to think it's just about the food
but it's just as much these working souls
their smiles, their aura, their attitude
that make the visit something whole
Take this inviting set of ascending stairs
Combine it with each attentive mind that cares
Then have a bite, it's love on a plate to sample
But if not for its people, it wouldn't be a temple
