Truly Outstanding - Edit
Among the best meals I’ve had. We had the six course tasting menu with wine and dessert. It was a wonderful three hour dining experience.

Great place 😚🤌🏻 - Edit
Placed not too far from the city, ideal to end a trip on a high note, 6 mins away from the “Mercado do Bolao”.
Read moreThe food and waiters are excellent, they really seem to take a lot of pride on their work and the food is carefully crafted and balanced.
They do try daring combinations, that end up amazing but if you want something simpler or are a picky eater this is probably not for you.
They have a closed menu (which I LOVE) so I can taste what they do best, without having to make compromises.
They are great at taking care of allergens.

One of the best experiences I’ve had so far - Edit
Michelin-star level vegan dishes for a super cheap price (if I recall correctly the 6 courses menu costed less than 50 euros). Best quality/price ratio I’ve ever seen.
Read moreApart from that, the dishes were all amazing and unique, with lots of research behind.
The staff as well was amazing!

Ambitious Food - Edit
I love visiting restaurants like this, where there is clearly an extremely passionate and ambitious chef providing a completely novel dining experience. Novel in the absolute best sense - not as a curiosity, but as a declaration of individuality, a statement that you will not experience food like this anywhere else.
Read moreWe took part in the tasting menu and wine pairing which, for such a guided fine dining experience, was extremely affordable. The dishes, which will change and update regularly, included King Oyster Mushroom scallops, charred shallot, leek, and a bean dish which the server explained the beans were fermented in Kombucha. Divine.
The wine pairings were good, but service was somewhat mistimed compared to the dishes, and descriptions of it were a bit lacking, but given the more relaxed nature of the evening, and considering the price compared to equivalent dining experiences in Europe, this is easy to look over.
Would definitely come back!

Sooo delicious!! - Edit
I really enjoyed how well the wine fit to the main courses.
Read moreIt was really tasty and I enjoyed every bit of the 4 courses. We got one appetizer before and everything was a tasty pleasure.
Also the cheesecake is unbeatable! It was really creamy and delicious.
From the beginning it looked like not so much but at the end we were filled with really good food and wine. Just enjoy every bit and you will be in 7th heaven.
Just know that the food is quite pricey here.
Pros: Food, Service, Great wine
Cons: Small portions, Expensive for the amount

Wonderful gourmet food! - Edit
We loved the concept of Venn, which is impressive to say the least - artisanal, gourmet food and a zero waste concept. The food was delicious - we went for the 4 and the 6 course options, and the portions were perfect, if even a little large (mind you I am definitely one of those who thinks they can eat an enormous amount, but quickly discover I'm full!). The crispy laver was amazing, and the walnut cheese under beetroot-soaked black turnip carpaccio was delicious. I loved the variety in the all the courses. The restaurant were also exceptionally attentive to a particularly tricky allergy we had in our party - the brassica family, which unfortunately includes cabbage, cauliflower, rapeseed oil, mustard, turnips amongst many other foods, so it is very challenging for a chef to deal with! We contacted them in advance, and then they were extremely careful in doublechecking with my daughter for every dish. The staff were all lovely. We felt very welcomed, and we really enjoyed our visit.

Fantastic vegan fine dining. - Edit
We chose the 6 course (winter) set menu. We were taken on a culinary journey of inventive, unique, and incredibly well balanced dishes. This is some of the finest vegan food we have eaten (and we love to visit the fanciest vegan restaurants we can find). The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed, and pleasantly casual. All of the staff were charming, and really tried their hardest to ensure we enjoyed our experience, and informed us in detail how each dish was composed. We also enjoyed the Kombucha's on offer. My only complaint (to the disagreement of my girlfriend) is that each dish could have been ever so slightly bigger (and I mean literally like, 10% - 15% larger) - I absolutely was satisfied, I just enjoyed it all so much it would have been great if each course had a mouthful more!
Read morePros: Simply, incredible food., Excellent service, in a comfortable environment., Very well priced for this level of dining.
Cons: Dishes could have been ever so slightly larger.

Exquisite Flavors, Exemplary Kindness - Edit
We had such a wonderful experience at Venn Canteen during our stay in Porto. The flavor combinations in every dish were truly outstanding creative, balanced, and absolutely delicious.
Read moreWe were impressed by how thoughtfully each plate was put together.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, but what really made our visit exceptional was the kindness of the staff. The waitress and the rest of the team were incredibly sweet with our dogs, immediately offering them fresh water and little vegan snacks.
Since our dogs are vegan like us, we appreciated this attention more than words can say.
It’s rare to find a place that cares equally for humans and animals.
We left with full hearts and full stomachs. Highly recommended for anyone seeking great vegan food and genuine hospitality!

Very balanced and delicious meal with a sort of "home made" touch. A bit more expensive than perhaps the average but nothing to extreme for an ocassional visit. I recommend it!

Underwhelming - Edit
Frankly I was expecting a lot more given the reviews to this place. Or at the very least, I was expecting everything to taste okay, but there were a couple of items that were straight up unpalatable. And this is not just my sole opinion, my girlfriend could also not finish the same two dishes.
Read moreThis applies to the NA pairing as well. They gave us two mocktails and two NA wines. One mocktail was pretty decent, the other was just okay, but the NA wines almost tasted like vinegar.
I know the menu is changing all the time and maybe we just got unlucky, but I would much rather have tried a different place in our limited time in Porto. At the very least anything else would've been cheaper and more filling.

Very creative cuisine, small works of art are created on the plate. Prices are upscale for Portugal, but in Hamburg you pay twice as much.

mixed feelings - Edit
So with the first dish I was quite disappointed - I mean it was tasty but for the price…I was expecting much more. The next one was pretty good and really the mix of flavours I haven’t tried yet. However, I still would be honestly a bit salty if it wasn’t for the desserts.
Read moreSo if you’re seeking near to fine dining experience for a date or sth - highly recommend it. If you simply want to spend your last euros on something you won’t forget -there are better places in Porto.

Superb! - Edit
This is the best vegan restaurant nowadays. The food is amazing and dishes look stunning. The place is cozy and warm as well as the staff. They have a seasonal menu that changes during the year but dishes always look for balance and detail. It's just wonderful! If you are in Porto and you want to try an amazing vegan meal look no further.

Delicious & creative cooking - Edit
I went to have dinner with my mom and we had a wonderful experience. The flavors were great and the pairings quite bold. It was also nice that they include some local produce as for example acorn and carob. Beautiful cooking, lovely staff, great concept. A must!
Read moreEu e a minha mãe fomos lá jantar e acabamos por ter uma experiência incrível. Os sabores eram mesmo top e as combinações de ingredientes bastante arrojadas. Gostei imenso do facto de incluirem no menu ingredientes locais, como a bolota e a alfarroba. Ponto positivo para a seleção de livros relacionados com veganismo, agricultura, etc Se estiverem a passar pelo Porto, sem dúvida merece a vossa visita! O sítio é mega acolhedor, o conceito é ótimo e as pessoas que lá trabalham super fofas!

A nice experience - Edit
We had a very nice dining experience here, the staff was extremely engaged and would elaborate on each dish that was served. I had the three course tasting menu, my GF had the rice cracker main dish.
Read moreOverall, though I think it was nice, it is not something I would do more than once. Sometimes I thought that while the dishes were creative, there was not a strong taste. They tasted "too healthy" almost. BUT. The food was still very good, and I would recommend checking it out

Nice experience - Edit
Super nice stuff people, that were explaining the concept and everything
Read moreHad two menus for two people(as it was my Birthday)
So 4 dishes for each to try (3 of which were accompanied by different cold drinks, it was nice, that they had non alcoholic options)
Portions as in fancy dining, on the smaller side
The food and drinks are as much sustainable as possible
Interesting that we got beetroot hibiscus ravioli and the other dish was with buckwheat with walnuts in the cabbage leaf which are exactly the same sensations as classics, where we come from-Eastern Europe. That's something that we would've considered as our perfect breakfast and lunch flavours.
The most flavorful were oystermuchrooms with salad and fennel sorbet was definitely the most intense and surprising to us, which I loved
Every dish is focusing on one subject, for example -beetroot
Simple, but good:)
All together was 110€

Delicious small plates with great ethos and friendly staff - Edit
This is close to my idea of the perfect restaurant. I've been in Portugal and Spain for the last 2-3 weeks and this is the best food I had so far, for sure. It rivalled other favourite meals from e.g. London. In particular the crispy rice dish and mushrooms were amazing. I nearly didn't order mushroom as I thought it would be 'just another mushroom dish ' but it was very unique with a sweet glaze and delicious herby salad. Lots of pickles on the plates too, which I love. They make their own lentil tofu which was interesting (tasty enough for me, who will eat raw tofu out the packet) and served with tasty pickled stems and dashi broth. I would have ordered more plates and the bread couvert etc but I was dining alone. Tasting menu seems to have had price increase compared to online- but still good value for the quality of food: currently set menu 30€ 3 plates or 38€ 4 plates with discounted dessert 5€. Wines looked good too and there is a pairing option and even a non alcoholic aperitif pairing option! Love it

Best food I ever had, 25 years vegan - Edit
Me and my wife were coming after watching sunset by the beach and ordered romantic table for two, right before 2130 we arrived.
Read moreWe were surprised, eating the four course dinner would change our lives, the food was stimulating our taste-buds in such a way we travelled far with each bite and it was like a lovely dream.
Thank you Venn(which means friend in Norwegian) for uplifting our souls and let us fly on your culinary wings to heaven! ❤️❤️
