based around the best local and seasonal ingredients. Arkhe is a Michelin Bib Gourmand establishment.
Fauna & Flora: Breakfast / brunch café with many vegan and vegetarian options. Wooden tables and plants make up the decor and the ambiance is warm. It can get quite crowded, as it is a popular spot.

My Mother´s Daughters: Café owned by three daughters and their mother, in Largo de São Sebastião, that serves dishes free from animal products, mostly all organic and enriched with superfoods. Special mention: there is always a “zero waste” starter on the menu
(where yesterday’s leftovers become today’s starter). There are bowls, starters like
hummus with vegetable sticks and cashew crackers and daily specials like mushroom
lasagne or pumpkin quiche.
