“Next to Jardim do Príncipe Real, the Terra restaurant offers food made from organic produce.  There are a number of very pleasant rooms and a lovely patio where dinners can enjoy their meal.  Fans of traditional Portuguese food can discover adaptations of caldeirada (chowder), “fish” filets with tomato rice and even a great seitan à alentejana.  Chosen as one of the best restaurants in the capital during a gastronomic contest in Lisbon. ”  — Update, TAP magazine

The restaurant Terra in the Press

We are grateful to all the journalists that have published so many articles about the restaurant and also to all the Guests that have recommended it to their friends, sometimes years after their own visit.  We work daily to be worthy of your trust!

Ever since we opened space on our walls is fast disappearing as we fill it with articles, awards and testimonials...  come visit and see for yourself!

While most of the coverage has naturally been from the Portuguese Press, there is a growing number of publications with reviews of Terra in other languages and countries.  Here you’ll find some of them...

“Luomutuotteita suosiva kasvisravintola valmistaa kasvisversioita perinteisista portugalilaisista annoksista. Ravintolan suuri terassi on auki ympari vuoden. ” 
— Mondo Matkaopas, Lissabon

“Buffet lunching and dining, with a plethora of vegetarian delights: sushi through cozido (stew), plus ice-cream and crumble.  The restaurant is to be found in an 18th-century building, its two separate dining areas filled with Portuguese furniture and decorative items

from around the world.  Out back there are more tables in a garden with a tinkling fountain; this area is heated in winter.” 
— Time Out , Lisbon

“Terra (“Terre”) est une excellente adresse végétarienne.  La carte est pour le moins éclectique et la cuisine assez bonne, servie sous forme de buffet.  Tables en sale ou à l’ exterieur, vins biologiques...” 
— lonely planet, Lisbonne

“Sit on the shady patio at Terra for a vegetarian feast that incorporates Mediterranean and traditional Portuguese flavors.”
— Tripadvisor Fall & Winter Guide 2011-2012

4. “A delightful vegetarian restaurant in Lisbon! Terra’s buffet ranges from oriental to Mediterranean to salads and veggy versions of traditional Portuguese dishes.  There’s even a selection for vegans, plus organic juices, beers and wines.  Inside the decor is fresh, with white walls and lots of wood.  A lovely, tree-shaded garden is romantically lit in the evening, and heated when necessary to prolong ao fresco dining.”
