Restaurant Review: True Food

Tucked away in a picturesque old alley, just a stone's throw from the harbour, True Food stands as the only one of its kind in the entire region, and Marla & Nuno Paiva, the sweetest couple, are the passionate minds behind this culinary gem.

As the name suggests, True Food is all about genuine, pure, and wholesome dining experiences.

Marla and Nuno have successfully combined delectable flavours with health-conscious ingredients, creating a menu that delights both the palate and the body. It's a haven for those who crave delicious meals without compromising their well-being or waistline. Speaking of which, Marla and Nuno embody their restaurant's philosophy - both glowing with health and vitality.

The menu at True Food is as diverse as it is nourishing. From a tempting Salmon Pizza, and a Bacon pizza, to an array of vegetarian and vegan options, there's something for everyone. And for those who need to steer clear of gluten, rejoice!

The entire restaurant is gluten-free, making it a safe haven for those with gluten sensitivities.

Mains from 11.90 euro. Coffee 1 euro.

For Marlot Anna and Elyas, True Food is a true blessing. Elyas, a pizza enthusiast who rarely finds gluten-free options, can finally indulge in a flavourful pizza topped with an abundance of fresh, colourful vegetables - a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds.

The freshness of the dishes at True Food is unparalleled.

Prepared from scratch, each plate is a labour of love, which means a bit of patience is rewarded with unparalleled flavours. But don't worry, it's a promise that the delightful dishes are worth the wait.

True Food's commitment to health extends to its dessert offerings as well. Savour heavenly delights like vegan cheesecake, chocolate mousse, and tiramisu... guilt-free and entirely gluten-free.

As Marla, Nuno, and their welcoming team offer to pack up any leftovers for a delightful encore at home, you can't help but feel a sense of joy and satisfaction.

True Food isn't just a restaurant; it's a haven for those seeking genuine, lactose-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian delights that tantalise the taste buds and nurture the body.

Come, and join us at True Food, where food is more than just a meal - it's a celebration of authenticity, health, and pure culinary pleasure.
