The Blue Parrot

The restaurant is really cozy and the owner is vegan. When you enter, they can make some of the foods in vegan options by removing ingredients such as cream. If you give notice to the restaurant, then you can prepare more options for you.

Small, healthy cafe with smoothie dishes, salads and a vegetarian burger. Owner loves animals and is happy to change orders Veg.

The restaurant is located in a quiet street (at least in the afternoon), so it was really nice to sit outside in the sun. The owner knew exactly which dishes he could veganise, like the avocado burger (without the salmon), bruschetta, sweet potato salad (without feta), Chili etc. I had the bruschetta and sweet potato salad which were tasty! It’s a great place to eat with meat eaters, since there are not many options in Monte Gordo. The homemade lemonades and ice tea is very good!

Food and service were amazing, Innes was very welcoming and accommodating.

Really great place, not a ton of obvious vegan options on the menu but the staff and owner are great and very much willing to customize for you as needed. They even mention if you call or come by a day early they will work with you to make you a meal you want which seems rare in my experience. I had a veggie/garbanzo curry one day and a customized avocado/tomato/lettuce tostie and fresh squeezed orange juice another day, both delicious.
