LOCAL Santos — Restaurant in Lisbon

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant in Portugal, and I have to say, it’s a gem for anyone who loves vegan and vegetarian options! Everything on the menu looked incredibly fresh, and the dishes were bursting with flavor. You can tell the chefs put a lot of thought into creating a variety of healthy, delicious meals that cater to all tastes. Plus, the prices are super fair for the quality you’re getting.

The lemonade was undrinkable - not a hint of sweetness. Maybe that’s the way the locals like it though. If you’re a tourist, just beware that the lemonade is straight lemon and water and no amount of added sugar seems to temper it. The only positive was that the service was good. The waiters were nice. But the food was very, very bland. I usually love going to salad bars and healthy vegetarian places but this one was disappointing given the cost and all...
