Lisbon's culinary scene just got healthier with the opening of a new Honest Greens in Alvalade. The Spanish brand, known for its focus on healthy, seasonal, and sustainable food, has been rapidly expanding across Portugal since its debut in Lisbon's Parque das Nações in early 2020. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Honest Greens has flourished, now boasting ten locations across the country, including seven in Lisbon, two in Porto, and one in Cascais.
The latest addition to the Honest Greens family opened its doors on June 8th in Alvalade, taking over the space previously occupied by the iconic Nova Lisboa restaurant. What sets this location apart is its prime spot in Alvalade, adding to the brand's presence in key Lisbon neighborhoods like Chiado, Avenida da Liberdade, Amoreiras, Príncipe Real, and Cais do Sodré.
The menu remains consistent across all locations, offering a variety of flexitarian dishes that cater to every meal of the day, from breakfast to dinner. Options include toasts, bowls, vegetarian dishes, protein-rich meals, and a selection of pastries and coffee. The interior design, reminiscent of a small urban forest, continues to be a hit among diners looking to share their experience on social media.

Alfredo Lacerda, a food critic, initially approached Honest Greens with skepticism but was pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor of the dishes, particularly the chickpea-based meals and 'extraordinary falafel.' His review highlighted the freshness of the ingredients and the skillful preparation, distinguishing Honest Greens from typical chain restaurants.
The new Alvalade location is part of the Plateform group's portfolio, which includes all Honest Greens restaurants in Portugal. It marks another step in the brand's mission to make healthy eating accessible and enjoyable, even in the face of changing dining trends and the closure of long-standing local favorites like Nova Lisboa and Helsínquia.
