On Rua de Brito Capelo, and Tiago's answer for the best vegan food in Matosinhos. It is a working flower shop with a kitchen in it, which is why people write about the plants before they get to the food. Daytime only, 10h–19h, at 10–15 € a head.

- Best for
- Vegan and vegetarian food, in a working flower shop
- Worth knowing
- Closed Sunday and Monday, and it shuts at 19h every day it opens, so this is breakfast, lunch or an afternoon — never dinner. It is a small shop as much as a restaurant, so a large group does not fit comfortably. And one reviewer's disappointment is worth passing on to anyone travelling with a dog: it does not let animals in.
Rua de Brito Capelo 1211, towards the southern end of the street.
A flower shop that feeds you
That is not a figure of speech. It is a working floricultura with a café inside it, and the plants are what people write about before they get to the food. Comida deliciosa, serviço atencioso, loja linda, plantas maravilhosas, as one review runs — delicious food, attentive service, a beautiful shop, wonderful plants, in that order.
The vegan question, answered
Tiago's pick for the best vegan food in Matosinhos, in a town whose culinary identity is grilled fish. After the plants, what people name here is exactly that: the vegan cooking, the vegetarian menu, and the pancakes. If you are travelling with someone who does not eat fish or meat, this is the answer on Brito Capelo, and it is not a token menu bolted onto a fish restaurant.
Daytime only
10h–19h, Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday, 10–15 € a head. It is breakfast, lunch or an afternoon — there is no dinner here. And it does not admit dogs, which one reviewer minded enough to write down.

The recommendation on this page is his, first-hand, from eating here as a resident rather than as a visitor — which is the only basis on which this hub recommends a restaurant at all. What he vouches for is the food and whether he goes back. He is not a critic, has not eaten the whole menu, and everything else on this page — hours, prices, what other people order — is sourced separately and marked.

The business's own listing, read 8 September 2026, and the source for the hours and the price band. Its reviewers mention plantas 135 times, then vegan 61, comida vegetariana 44, conceito 44, panquecas 27 and floricultura 26; it opens Tuesday to Saturday 10h–19h, closed Sunday and Monday, at 10–15 € a head. Hours and prices are what the business publishes about itself; the dish tallies are Google's count of how many reviewers mentioned a thing, which is evidence of what people order, not of whether it is good. The star rating is not cited.
