Soul - Alimentação Saudável e do Bem (Vegan, Gluten Free, Brunch and Coffee Shop) - Braga — Restaurant in Braga

We each had the brunch menu our first time we went to Soul, and it was definitely the best vegan brunch I've had so far. So much flavour in one meal! And I'd never had that sort of savory cake before either - wish I could have the recipe! It was a good size of meal too, and we definitely weren't hungry for a long time after that!

We came back another day for lunch and we had the leek quiche (which was absolutely delicious), and the bowl which had rice, mushrooms, hummus, and roasted vegetables. I only wish my quiche was bigger, so I could enjoy it's flavours for longer! They also had some very nice local bottled beers to choose from (I had the IPA) and really enjoyed it, very refreshing. And just before we left, we bought a couple of the lovely ice lollies they have there. There's a variety of flavours. They were very tasty, juicy and refreshing. Just what we needed before going back into the heat of the sun!

The owners/staff were absolutely delightful to us with every interaction, and were very patient of our complete lack of Portuguese, and they were able to explain things to us sufficiently in English.

The place is fairly small and quaint, and is nicely decorated, and on both visits we enjoyed the chilled out music that was playing softly in the background.

In conclusion, wonderful place, delicious food, lovely staff, and great to see so many cruelty-free options available. What more could...

Tucked away off the street you will find this little gem waiting for you. Look for the sign out front and venture inside down the hall. Once there grab a seat on the couch, at a table or sit down at the trestle table with your group. The friendly staff will greet you and hand you their menu. By the way, all the food here is plant based, gluten and egg free. You know, vegan. I suggest the plate and soup of the day, but they have several options. I ordered both and found each tasty and decently seasoned. Good portions meant I didn't leave hungry and there was nothing left to take away.

If you don't get to have pancakes often, definitely order a plate. I suggest the apple ones. They are not huge, maybe not even big, but they are absolutely delicious. The walnut cake with caramel icing was great too.

Coffee and tea were ordered and enjoyed as well. It's totally worth stopping by just to grab coffee and a cup cake. The cup cakes can be regular or big. Pictured is...

Loved the service and the food options. They had just run out of the quiche we wanted to try but my hummus and mushroom toast was amazing. Homemade hummus which was light and fresh. A great salad also and their desserts are some of the best vegan desserts I've had. There is a bathroom there and some seating but there is no outside seating. The lighting is a little artificial and they don't have as many warm and cozy lightings so the place isn't quite as romantic but still quite cozy to relax in. The staff was super nice - very helpful and looked like they enjoyed their work. It's at the back of a hallway but there should be a sign outside. Wonderful vegan spot which I'd recommend checking out while in Braga. It's a good location too because you're in front of the park and can walk on the long sidewalk with a...
