Nicolau Lisboa

The Nicolau Lisboa menu marks specific dishes with a dedicated 'vegan' icon: Falafel Burger (vegan brioche, falafel, coriander mayo), Tosta Nicolau (sliced avocado, olive oil, sea salt), Vegan Pancakes (oat and buckwheat, homemade hazelnut-chocolate spread, caramelised banana), and Coconut Dream Yogurt (coconut yogurt, apple-cinnamon jam, homemade granola). Plant-based milk alternatives (soya, almond, oat) available as a drink add-on (+0.50 €). Kitchen is shared with non-vegan items; no dedicated vegan prep area is evidenced.

The Nicolau Lisboa menu does not use a dedicated 'Vegetariano' icon (sister venues such as Amélia, Olivia, Cascais and Porto do). However, all vegan-marked items are inherently vegetarian, and the menu features numerous clearly vegetarian dishes: egg preparations (Ovos Nicolau, Ovos Amélia, Ovos Florentine), the Falafel Burger, Veggie Rice Crispy Tofu, avocado toasts, and yogurt bowls. FMGF lists the venue in its Vegan-Friendly category. Kitchen is shared; no dedicated vegetarian prep area evidenced.

The Nicolau Lisboa menu footer explicitly states that some gluten-free options exist but are not suitable for coeliacs. The reason given is that these items are prepared in a shared kitchen with gluten-containing foods. This venue is unique among the brand's locations, as its menu does not use the 'Sem Glúten' icon on any individual dish. Sister venues Amélia, Olivia, and Porto do mark specific items. FMGF confirms the absence of a dedicated fryer. Two symptomatic celiac community reviewers independently describe active cross-contamination, and the venue acknowledges this. Gluten-sensitive diners may tolerate some items, but the kitchen is structurally unsuitable for coeliac disease.
