Gaia Loja - Aljezur

This vegan restaurant/shop in Rogil, a small village in Alentejo, is cool. The staff is friendly and the food is honest, delicious, and expertly prepared. They even have a coworking room available for those days when you need a change of scenery.

Very nice place for sitting, many plants inside and an additional place with desks for working. We were there for breakfast and had the buckwheat pancakes with different hummus and salad, which was super delicious. Fresh juice and coffee were great as well as

We drove to the south and enjoyed a fantastic breakfast featuring scrambled tofu. It was served with delicious buckwheat pancakes, amazing sides, and a refreshing salad. A unique bonus was the zero-waste shop, where we tried the acayu cashew cheese.

I had lunch there on the way to the Algarve and it was excellent, the dish of the day was accompanied by a chickpea curry with rice and vegetables. Only the big bowl had me almost full. Then had a matcha platter and it was one of the best I ever had. Definitely recomend check out!

Everything about this is right. From the delicious sweet potato waffles with blue cheezeand pesto dressing to the variety of desserts. Loved it.
