Restaurant Review for Em Carne Viva, Porto Center

If you're looking for a unique culinary experience in the beautiful city of Porto, then you must definitely pay a visit to Restaurant Em Carne Viva.

Situated in a splendid canal-side building reminiscent of the charming structures along the canals of Amsterdam, this small family-owned restaurant is a true gem in the heart of beautiful Porto.

At Em Carne Viva, you are warmly welcomed by the exceptionally friendly hostess, whose warm smile and attentive service set the tone for an unforgettable evening. It's evident that this restaurant is run with love, as even the hostess's children contribute to making the atmosphere even more special. Her husband, the chef, works his magic in the kitchen, creating vegan masterpieces inspired by traditional Portuguese cuisine.

The ambiance at Em Carne Viva strikes a perfect balance between serene and lively, with background music adding to the overall atmosphere. A noteworthy detail was the beautifully designed restroom, which attested to the attention to detail in this restaurant.

When it comes to the food, Em Carne Viva offers a high-end vegan dining experience like no other. The restaurant has been in existence for 10 years and has established itself as a true pioneer in vegan gastronomy. The dishes are stunning and introduce you to the rich flavors of Portuguese cuisine without the use of any animal products.

My recent visit to Em Carne Viva was simply astounding.

The vegan tasting menu offered choices of 5 courses for 45 euros or 10 courses for 89 euros.

Each dish was a work of art in itself, and we savored every flavorful creation. The meticulously curated menus speak to the creativity and dedication of the chef.

I would like to express my appreciation for the fantastic evening we had at Em Carne Viva. The food was truly outstanding, but what truly sets this place apart is the passion that can be felt in every aspect of the restaurant. I would recommend Em Carne Viva to everyone, whether you are vegan or not. This place not only offers a world-class gastronomic experience but also one that you will cherish for a long time. Grateful to have discovered this restaurant!
