Green Point Aveiro — Restaurant in Aveiro

So I got these little balls and the Mexican empanadas as starters, the chilli for main abd cheesecake for desert. The food is good. The chilli looks the same as in the menu, that's why I didn't take any pictures. In the menu it says to share but I was sharing it with my mom and the portion didn't make us satisfied, we even asked for more wrap pieces and even with that, it was not enough. I don't think it's a portion to share at all. Having said that, I would like to point out that if you are in a hurry, this restaurant is not for you. We stayed around two hours for this lunch ( the restaurant was never full, when we got there, one table besides ours, already eating, and then after we started eating, a few more tables). The restaurant offers mostly vegetarian options, with a selection of vegan options.

I also felt like the person who was serving us maybe was new staff to the restaurant as they didn't have the answers when I asked some questions about the menu options being vegan or vegetarian as I was confused about some items on the menu. He then went into the kitchen area to ask a colleague and came back telling me that the heura has egg whites therefore it's not vegan, which left me even more confused as the brand heura is fully vegan. So either they are using some fake heura or they don't know what's vegan or not, which is not very comforting to hear, as I make a lot of efforts to keep...

The menu has indications whether a dish is vegetarian or vegan. We ordered scrambled tofu (labeled as vegan) and received scrambled eggs with tofu cubes. When we asked the waiter if we got the wrong dish, he said that's how it normally is. When asked about the vegan label, he just shrugged. Some minutes after this, he even returned to our table with the menu showing that the scrambled tofu was under the section "eggs" and therefore contained eggs. Again, it was labeled as vegan and had no eggs on the description.

At the end of our meal, when paying, we talked to the other waitress and she said it was a mistake and it's normally not done like this.

This even made us question whether the other dishes we ordered (the vegan pancakes and the açaí bowl, where we specifically requested agave syrup instead of honey) were vegan.

If the dish normally contains eggs, please label it correctly. Otherwise, better staff training is needed.

TLDR: a dish labeled as vegan...

In Portugal, most dishes are either fish or meat. Don’t get me wrong, I like most of them however, I felt like eating something veggie that evening. That’s how we booked a table at Greenpoint. The decor and ambiance is spot on. Comfortable furniture, cozy lighting and attentive service. The menu is varied and we opted for a couple of G&Ts made with a local gin to start with. We ordered some guacamole and nachos to have something to nibble on. As mains, we went for a padthai and a green shakshuka (leeks, spinach, eggs and feta) that we enjoyed with a red Alentejo wine. Service was spot on, food was delicious. They just need to open a branch in Lisbon so we can visit...
