Welcome to the wonderful world of plants: The Botanista, the new project of Catarina Gonçalves, (from Ao 26 - Vegan Food Project), with André Baptista. A restaurant with a very green ground floor, loads of plants and a vegan menu. There are breakfast, lunch and snack options, many of which no one would call vegan - that's the point. Neither Catarina, responsible for sweets, nor André, in the kitchen, want to recreate vegan version's of existing dishes that usually feature animal by-products. Rather, they want to "present good things, feed you and know you well. Nothing comes from animals but we do not even need to say it's vegan."
