at venn, food is an exploration of flavour and craft. every dish is designed to showcase the character and richness of plant-based ingredients, using thoughtful techniques to uncover their full potential.
in the kitchen, creativity meets intention—fermenting, curing, charring, and slow cooking are just some of the ways we elevate simple ingredients into something unexpected. from wild herbs paired with preserved fruits to reimagined roots and seeds, our dishes bring together balance, depth, and surprise.
our non alcoholic drinks menu features home-made infusions and aperitifs crafted by our dear friend Lia Igreja, alongside house-fermented creations that celebrate seasonal produce and by-products of our cooking process. from tangy kombucha sourced from Leça de Palmeira to inventive non-alcoholic wines from Germany, each beverage reflects our ethos of thoughtful production and exciting flavours.
