Why go, and how to fit it in
A vegetarian restaurant in central Porto, Espécie fills its menu with the plates visitors talk about most: Korean fried cauliflower, dumplings and moqueca lead, followed by sticky toffee pudding, eggplant schnitzel, cannelloni, bean curry and ceviche. Expect a €15 to €25 spend per person and a meal that works for a relaxed lunch, a casual dinner or sharing among friends. Anyone after vegetarian cooking, or eating with vegetarian friends, will find plenty to choose from.
Friday at 20:00 is the busiest hour, so lunch or an earlier dinner is calmer. The kitchen opens at 12:30 every day and serves until 11 PM most nights, and until 11:30 PM on Friday and Saturday, so a late meal is possible. If you want the easiest seating, come at lunch or after the main evening rush.
Yard Tapas & Cocktail Garden is 15 m away, and Salve Simpatia Porto is equally close, making either an easy stop before or after.
When to visit
Open all seven days. Special events and holidays may affect opening hours, so confirm before you go.
