The Cult of Pita is a celebration of vegetarian cuisine that defies stereotypes. Owner David Hashpai, a 43-year-old Israeli, rejects the conventional portrayal of veganism, aiming to showcase its raw and imperfect beauty. Inspired by a passion for exciting, flavorful vegetarian food, Hashpai, who fell in love with Porto seven years ago, saw an opportunity to bring high-quality Mediterranean vegetarian cuisine to the city. The restaurant, located at 652 Rua Fernandes Tomás, embodies a unique blend of his cultural roots and local flavors, offering a sunlit space to enjoy cocktails, beer, and, of course, their signature soft pita.
