Cozinha Consciente - Coimbra

Delicious food for the body and the mind. Thank you!

Went at 12.40 didn’t look open. Staff came out of the kitchen and said it’ll be another 10mins. We waited and queue started to grow. When they were eventually ready service was attentive but slow. Food was good quality, albeit not cheap. Restaurant itself was nothing remarkable canteen style but clean. They don’t accept non Portuguese bank cards.

You need to enter the mall and find either stairs or the elevator up to the second floor where you’ll find this shop. Pick up a tray and get served cafeteria style the meal of the day. You can choose combinations of the main meal and a tea €10), the above plus a soup €12) or everything plus dessert €15). Really nice people, explained how it all worked and what the meal on offer was for the day to me in English. Food was pretty good, all vegan, I’ve been travelling for a while and it’s probably the healthiest meal I’ve eaten in a bit. Only open during lunch hours.

Fairly cheap and cheerful vegan/ vegetarian canteen. Rather off the beaten track on the top floor of a mostly empty arcade behind the Ibis hotel. Hope it thrives as these places are few and far between!

It 's quite good and expected... except: the desert had little to no sweetness, despite being called sweet ; and the dish also were very mild on the things i look for in flavor, usually around being strong or having more fat or salt, i suppose. i could (or perhaps should) probably get more used to this kind of food, but i was more than surprised for the flatness of taste, imho. still, feels like great quality. i 'll try again, eventually.
