Seiva Restaurante

😍WOW, I was blown away. This may just be the best food I’ve ever had. Every dish was bursting with flavor, texture, and color, and you can really feel the creativity and care that goes into each plate. My husband and I went for our 3-year wedding anniversary and chose the 11 Moments menu. I wasn’t sure if I’d end up too hungry or too stuffed, but it was the perfect balance, just the right amount of food, with each course feeling exciting and memorable. The service was equally incredible: warm, attentive, and thoughtful without ever being overbearing. The whole experience felt celebratory and special, exactly what we hoped for on our anniversary. This is fine dining vegetarian at its best, and I honestly believe a Michelin star has to be on the way. I can’t wait to go back , it’s truly one of those meals you’ll keep thinking about long after you leave.🥲

My brother and I visited Seiva to try their vegan menu and I'm so glad we did. We were both blown away and left satisfied. It's been a while since eating there at the time of this review, so I don't remember all the different dishes but there wasn't a single one we didn't enjoy. If you're looking for a vegan tasting menu, Seiva should be the one you go to.

Hands down the best experience we ever had! The service was super accommodating and the dishes were exceptional!! You can really taste the chefs thoughts behind each dish and feels very comfortable 🙏🏼 thanks for having us, we will definitely come back!

I discovered SEIVA through the Michelin Guide app and was so glad I followed the recommendation. While it isn’t Michelin-starred (yet), it absolutely deserves recognition for its elevated plant-based cuisine, warm hospitality, and creative approach to dining. I chose the 11 Moments tasting menu with the non-alcoholic pairing, and everything was thoughtfully curated and beautifully executed. Special thanks to Lourenço and Bedro, who were incredibly knowledgeable and explained every single dish with care and detail. Their attention truly elevated the experience. While everything was delicious, these three stood out as the most memorable: • Lemon verbena & lemon dry shaken (from the pairing) • Vegetable Cabidela – stewy black garlic rice with vinaigre, cumin, chanterelles & trumpets of death • Kefir dessert – vanilla cream, nut crumble & kefir sorbet SEIVA is a must-visit for anyone looking for a refined and original vegan/vegetarian experience in Porto. Thank you again to the entire team—I’ll absolutely be back.

Wow - just perfect! Incredible food, beautiful attentive service and wonderful wine. The 11 course tasting menu was just delicious, so beautifully presented and described. Let Bruno suggest what to to drink his parings were quite special. We tried to rank our top 3 courses - that was a tough competition.

If I could give it more stars, I would. This is one of the best vegan restaurants we've ever been to. We were surprised by the dishes, both delicious and beautiful. Every detail was very well taken care of. And the waiter was so nice, sweet and funny which made our evening even more special. The local lemon grass, ginger and orange infusion he made for us at the end of the dinner was extraordinary! This is definitely a must when in Porto 👌

The service and atmosphere were very welcoming and we felt comfortable throughout the evening. The staff are warm and friendly. The wine pairing was excellent, some great Portuguese wines that definitely matched the quality of some of the French wines I drink at home. It's hard for me to pick a favourite. A notable moment for me was the great late harvest Petit Manseng, something which I had never tasted before. Not overly sweet, but still fitting with dessert (it was so good I ordered an extra glass). We had the 8 moments menu and we really enjoyed every single dish. We were happy to discover the wide variety of plant-based flavours and textures that David Jesus and his team offered.

This was a restaurant I’d been looking forward to visiting for a long time! Maybe that was the problem—I got my hopes up. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good restaurant! But did it amaze me? No… It’s missing that wow factor, and, honestly, a bit of flavor. My favorite things were the dessert (you can’t go wrong here) and a very simple Chinese bread starter. The main dish, however, was completely underwhelming. Which is a shame. That said, kudos for the excellent service! 3,5/5
