About Falafoliva

A family recipe, a food truck and a love of Lebanese street food, shared with Lisbon since 2020.

Our story

A taste of Lebanese authenticity

Falafoliva was born from a deep love for authentic Lebanese cuisine and a passion for sharing it with the world. What started as a family tradition has grown into one of Lisbon's favourite street food stops.

Our journey began with a simple belief: traditional Lebanese flavours, made with care and the finest ingredients, can create something truly special. Our falafel recipe has been passed down through generations, a closely guarded secret that makes every bite unforgettable.

Today we serve from our food truck on the streets of Lisbon. Every wrap, salad and side is made with the same care and passion that started it all.

“Food made with love tastes better.”

100% vegan

Every dish is completely plant-based, proof that vegan food can be incredibly delicious.
