Jardim das Cerejas

Is a All you can eat so don’t expect high service.
Is more a kind of self service vegetarian.
You spend less than 10 $ and you eat no limits.
Nice food, I enjoyed.
My favorite was the soup.

Cute place in great neighborhood with good food and kind staff. You get a lot for your money given that a glass of good wine is only 1.50 euro :)

C est devenu la cantine pendant ma semaine à Lisbonne! Les plats proposés sont changés chaque jour.
Petit hic il faut arrivé tôt sinon on risqué de plus avoir grand chose à manger… Sinon l offre à emporter est plus qu intéressante pour les faims normales!

Went here for dinner one night. I’m always skeptical of buffets but this was actually really nice. Great selection of food with a mix of Mediterranean and Asian. Good value and great location

Calling all vegetarians and vegans! This place is a great find, and is not too far from the main shopping/​pedestrian drag in Baixa. The presentation of the food is pretty basic, but you can’t go wrong with € 9.50 for an all-​you-​can-​eat vegan buffet (drinks not included) in a city that serves meat in and on top of every dish.
Th buffet includes hot and cold options. All are vegetarian/​vegan, but not all are gluten-​free. Ask the server if you have special requirements.
Nearest metro stop is Baixa-​Chiado.

I’m visiting from San Francisco Bay Area, California, US. The vegan and vegetarian food there is fantastic, so my standards are high and my expectations probably unrealistic.
Though a couple of items like the mini pizza and the mango cake were good, the rest was mediocre at best and even quite disgusting at worst. The seitan balls was especially unpleasant. But I needed the protein so I ate it, begrudgingly. Then again, the seitan, and other meatless products in Lisbon are just disgusting in general. If I hadn’t been a vegan for a while and my first impression of what vegan food could taste like would in effect be ruined by the vegan food in Lisbon thus far.
To sum up: This food is ok, editable and not very hot. The service is good and the staff very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere minimal. I’d pass on it if you’re looking for a tasty vegan meal. The price is very good though. I paid € 9 for the buffet plus dessert. So if you just need to eat anything and are on a budget, this place is a good option. Or if you just want some vegan dessert this is also a good option.

Great variety of food options on the buffet. Not the most flavorful food I’ve had, but it was very fresh and the staff continued to refill the buffet. A great vegan option!

Au pays du poulet et de la morue, là où on pourrait croire que le végétarien est crucifié et jeté dans la mer, sachez qu’il n’en n’est rien !
Nous avons été surpris de voir que sur de nombreuses cartes de restaurant, on pouvait trouver des propositions de plats végétariens. Quoi donc de plus normal que de trouver alors de vrais restaurants végétariens comme Jardim das Cerejas.
Petit restaurant sans prétention situé pas loin du centre de Lisbonne. Il y fait assez chaud et il n’y malheureusement pas de terrasses mais le petit buffet proposé est de qualité. Nous y avons luncher à midi et c’est avec plaisir que nous avons tout goûté. C’est bon, c’est frais, il y a du chaud et du froid et ça né vous en coûtera que 7,5 € par personne ! Autant dire pas grand chose pour ce qui est proposé. Donc si vous voulez faire un break dans votre orgie de morue et de poulet, c’est le moment, c’est l’instant.
Je pense même que c’est Vegan en plus pour les puristes ;-).
Je conseille !

The best ALL VEGAN buffet in Lisbon.
Not all gluten free but many of the dishes are so ask the blonde lady who works there and she will help you. Huge salad selection, many hot dishes… You will not be disappointed.
I go here every trip… It’s great price and nice atmosphere. Check their opening times.
Go go GOOO! X

Well, for the price it’s not worth it for wheat-​free or gluten-​free eaters. If one is militantly vegetarian it’s hard to find a place in Portugal with many totally-​meatfree dishes, so this might be an acceptable choice, given the other lack of options. But to avoid the aforementioned allergens one is limited here to rice, beans (maybe), steamed vegetables, and a few salad ingredients. I don’t mind eating like that at home, but here I’d like something a bit more interesting. And there are a number of other buffet options in the neighborhood. There’s even another vegetarian buffet nearby though I haven’t tried it. yet.

Was hesitant to try this place but after 2 days of being sick I decided to come here for a «detox» meal. The spread has 1 soup (spinach), which is quite tasty. The salad bar includes romaine, arugula, chickpeas, mushroom, tomato, cucumber, beets, cabbage, etc, which seems like a lot but is actually quite unimpressive — everything is undressed and there are only 2 dressings on the side, one that’s creamy and another that’s olive oil-​based (it also doesn’t taste like extra virgin to me), and the chickpeas and mushrooms tasted like they were out of cans. They also had small bites of potato gratin bread, veggie pizza and some round fried dough. None of those tastes good so I suggest you pass on them.
Those aside, the hot food bar is quite good. There were yellow rice brown rice and 5 hot dishes — chickpea curry, tofu stew with veggies, lasagna, some veggie patty thing and another seitan dish. 4 out of 5 hot dishes tasted amazing (I couldn’t get myself to eat the mushy patty thing). The brown rice was also moist and well cooked. I tried their papadum which is wonderfully crisp and well spiced with cumin seeds.
I then ordered their cake — the waiter described it as a cookie cake with chocolate but it was more like a mousse cake with a hint of coffee and coconut. It was divine without being too rich. Definitely spend the extra 2 bucks on dessert.
Obviously my dining experience was not perfect but considering how much I paid for the meal I have to give it 4 stars. Also don’t expect them to cater to gluten allergies because a lot of fake meat is literally just gluten. Service is ok.

Stopped by here to make a to-​go box for lunch today. Great price (6.50 Euro) for a box of food! There was a nice salad bar selection with fresh veggies and mixed salads. I also liked hot foods bar selection, which included brown rice, black beans, lentils, roasted veggies, and some pasta dishes. Definitely got my money’s worth!

This place is vegan! I went two days in a row for dinner while staying in the Chiada district. They have salads and hot items, a soup of the day, desserts, and drinks. Everything was great except the papadums weren’t crispy like they should be! Highly recommended.

Great vegetarian restaurant in the heart of Lisbon. All you can eat buffet for 9.50! Lots of options, fresh products and very very tasty. Deserts and drinks are not included in the all you can eat, but prices are normal. The place is not so big, so reservation in advance is a good idea. The service was good, the food was even better!

* Pretty good assortment of options for vegetarians
* Staff are friendly
* I suppose if you eat a lot it is well worth it

Good assortment of dishes and everyone very nice. Everything was great, just not stellar. Could’ve been a greater proportion of hot dishes to cold and it would’ve been nice to see items marked vegan — though it wasn’t too hard to sort out. Solidly good.

All you can eat vegetarian buffet that was definitely worth the price! Nice assortment of foods from soup, salads, and larger entrée options. Would definitely consider going again especially if you’re looking for something different from traditional Portuguese food.

Fresh, healthy, and tasty food. They have soup, cold dishes, hot dishes, salads. I didn’t know what was what since they didn’t have signs, but I knew it was all vegetarian. The price is great for the quality of food and for a buffet! Just go already.

You should absolutely go for it! Vegan or not but mostly if you are vegan ’cause you wont have to wonder
it is vegan or not?
junk food?
questionable dressing?
Forget it! Everything is fresh and constantly refilled as customers empty bowl and plates.
They have cold dishes, multiple salads, a few hot dishes and not bathing in greasy dressing, yay ! There is also a soup available.
Staff is super friendly
It’s an affordable buffet !!
Atmosphere basic, laid back half touristy/​half locals
What else do you want ?
If I lived in Lisbon, I would definitely be a regular eater!

Não sei se será muito boa ideia escrever estas críticas quando se está com fome, mas aqui vai.
Ainda me lembro quando o Jardim das Cerejas era um restaurante japonês. Parece que não resultou muito bem e, passado algum tempo, transformou-​se — e muito bem — num restaurante vegetariano.
Ao almoço e ao jantar, o Jardim das Cerejas apresenta um buffet de saladas e entradas, duas opções de pratos quentes vegetarianos e funciona na modalidade «all you can eat», ou seja, «fartar vilanagem». Tudo é muito fresco e constantemente reposto.
A decoração do espaço não é a melhor, mas é simples, não chateia e serve o objectivo que é o de servir almoços e jantares a pessoas que estão na pausa do trabalho.
As minhas 5 estrelas são pela qualidade e frescura da comida, pela variedade, pelo equilíbrio qualidade/​preço, pela simpatia com que somos acolhidos e pelo facto de não olharem para mim de lado cada vez que me levanto para ir buscar mais salada de couve.

When we couldn’t get the table at the nearby restaurant «Carmo» on Friday night at 10pm, we decided to take a chance and try this vegetarian restaurant. As carnivores, at first we were both skeptical of the vegetarian places like this but we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious buffet. It was not only a much needed healthy meal after weeks of meat and carb filled meals in Italy, but also the price was excellent. The all you can eat buffet was only € 9.50. If you wanna eat healthy without sacrificing taste, this is a great option.

Onde costumo ir almoçar ou jantar com o meu irmão que é vegetariano estrito, mas tal como eu, gosta de comer em quantidade. O Jardim das Cerejas tem uma localização mais que excelente, entre o Carmo e os armazéns do Chiado, por isso está sempre ali à mão e como é buffet livre, não temos que pensar no que nos apetece comer, vamos e escolhemos entre pratos quentes e saladas. O buffet das saladas é de recomendar, pois a variedade é grande e inclui, além das saladas verdes, azeitonas e azeites perfumados, saladas de grão e paparis, por exemplo. Pode-​se repetir quantas vezes se quiser e os vinhos têm preços mais que apropriados.

Uma vez ficámos mesmo junto à montra…
A comida é sempre deliciosa e os funcionários muito atenciosos.
O Jardim das Cerejas é daqueles sítios a que podemos levar alguém que nunca provou comida vegetariana e que acha que vai ficar com fome… O serviço é buffet e servimo-​nos as vezes que queremos.

Buffet vegetariano com quantidade e qualidade.
Não é fácil convencer o meu namorado a ir a vegetarianos… Ele gosta de comer bastante e frequentemente saímos de vegetarianos para ter que ir jantar «à séria» noutro sítio.
No Jardim das Cerejas não tenho dificuldade em o convencer. Desde a sopa até à sobremesa, incluindo entradas, este buffet é super completo, delicioso e… barato! Fica a dois minutos dos armazéns do Chiado e, à noite, enche num abrir e fechar de olhos.
