João Augusto
With a menu curated by Chef João Augusto, the idea behind Powerplant is conveyed as follows: 'Powerplant emerged from an idea that arose within Selina itself. When they invited me to be part of this operation and I learned that it was vegan, I was very excited because it has always been a passion of mine,' says the 36-year-old chef. The Powerplant menu was born from the diverse influences João experienced during his time in Indonesia. 'I want to convey the message that being vegan is not a limitation and it is not as difficult as people think,' the chef mentions. The menu was created based on what João likes to eat and on the maxim that he advocates: 'Food for everyone.'

Wacataya vegannaise
Place in a blender: soy milk, wacataya, lemon juice, salt. Pulse the food processor until everything is integrated the color is green. Add the vegetable oil little by little to achieve an emulsion like a mayonnaise.

Accompany with French fries.
Enjoy!
Amazing vegan food. Very well presented and delicious. Portion were small especially for the price and also the service was extraordinarily slow. One sad part was we ordered a latte at the end and he put normal milk when everything else was vegan which was odd.
I really appreciated the ambiance of this spot and their plant forward menu was both new and palatable. We ordered the grilled cabbage, creamy rice with jerusalem artichoke, meatless balls, and mushrooms and pumpkin.
* The meatless balls and grilled cabbage plates offer a lot of novelty - the flavors and textures were unique to my palate and I really appreciated that.
* Meatless balls were my favorite item by far as it was also incredibly delicious.
* The grilled cabbage, meatless balls, and mushrooms/pumpkin dishes were quite saucy and didn't come with additional rice and I didn't see any offers for this on the menu so it made them awkward to eat. I think having an option of brown rice/quinoa would be great.
* There did seem to be an over-reliance on oil to add a fattiness to the foods. I see this pretty often at vegan restaurants but it would be great to see less oil/leaner foods in addition to a greater reliance on natural foods like cashews to add creaminess.
This good was really tasty! (Its pricey, but where is it not, there's days.)Nice atmosphere for getting a bit of work done in the morning or afternoon, staff was helpful and do fluent in English.The place is connected to a hostel, so to will see people from around the world here.A bit hard to find if yo don't go all the way to the address. The sign faces the building, not the street.
Good vegan food, full of flavour. interesting dishes you might not come across in other restaurants in Lisbon.A casual place to get dinner and drinks.
Loved the food! Great venue too, lovely decor and nice vibes. Such an amazing option for those that want to eat all plant-base sharing dishes and enjoy time together with friends. Definitely recommend.
