Kong

At Kong you can find comfort food that proves that, with will and originality, flavors are not lost by swapping a traditional dish for a plant-based version.

There’s seitan bitoque and francesinha, hamburgers with fries and alheira croquettes and a list of desserts that will make your sugar levels rise just by reading about them.

Everything at Kong is vegan and they prioritize organic products. But there are more details that make it onto Peggada’s list of sustainable restaurants: they are true activists for the animal cause and the fight against climate change: the restaurant’s tables were made from wood and they don’t serve bottled water – even the carbonated water is filtered and served in glass bottles.
