Review: I arrived very excited after reading the reviews on this site, but I found this place a disillusion. I didn't found nothing special here... I recommend to go to other place if you can!
Pros: quite cheap * *
Cons: small portions * chaotic (very small) * very normal food |

Review: Very nice staff/owners you can choose the Vegan option. The place filled up fast as we ate. You don't have much of a choice, but its inexpensive and comes out quick, which is why its a popular healthy lunch spot.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

Review: Since I have started my macrobio theraphy six months ago, travelling has turned out to be a burden. It was a relief to have at least one proper macrobio meal per day in Madrid.
I would recommend La Bio Tika it to everyone. Good food (follows macrobio principles and there is another relaxed options for vegetarians), variety (soup,salad,main course, desert, drink, of course free water and they ask you if you want more=which I dont think would be necessary in most cases s the whole meal portion is absolutely decent) nice staff, good value for money.
do not look any further while in Madrid.
The menu of the day, like in all other macro/vegan restaurants I ve been is the same for lunch/dinner.
there is also a little shop with organic food.
they are closed only on Sunday night.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

Review: I have eaten here numerous times over the past 10 years and I absolutely love every meal. We came here for dinner and found great vegan options from the menú. The gazpacho was incredible, along with the hearty bread. When the second course came, it honestly looked greasy and colorless, but what it lacked in presentation, it made up for in taste. The seasoning was delicious and there was a perfect balance of flavors among the three mini-portions on my plate. They served organic beer and the staff was super friendly. My boyfriend, who isn't into the Indian seasoning, although it was mild, wasn't as excited about the meal. Everyone else loved it!
Pros: Delicious food * charming diningroom * helpful staff
Cons: set menu, less variety * * |

Review: We visited this restaurant mostly because of the mention of the free caraffe of water, but it turned out to be excellent in every way. In our fout-day trip we came back a second time, and would have eaten there a third time if it wasn't closed on Sundays.
The menu is limited to a daily choice with five courses:
- A choice of two soups
- A salad
- A choice of a vegetarian main course, a macrobiotic main course or a combined main course. Each option has three different dishes on a single plate.
- A choice of dessert (about 8 choices if I remember correctly).
- A choice of tea or coffee.
The food was all excellent with decent portions. We were even given the option of having seconds.
The price is very, very reasonable: we paid about 10 euros per person for lunch, which includes the five courses and free water. For dinner, the price was about 15 euros per person.
The staff was very nice. Their English was not always too great, but there was always someone around to help.
We didn't buy anything in the store, but it looked like a typical small vegetarian store, with most of the things you'd expect there.
All in all very much worth a visit if you're in Madrid!
Pros: excellent food * free water * very cheap
Cons: * * |

Review: You are not going to find a huge carafe of free water on your table ANYWHERE else in Spain. Even if Biotika had no food at all, this would be enough to earn the place three stars.
There were two menu del dia choices when we visited, one vegetarian (not vegan) and one macrobiotic (which, luckily, was vegan). The macrobiotic plate consisted of a pile of chickpeas, a pile of cooked greens, and a third pile that I'm sorry to report I can't remember. It was probably a grain. Taste-wise, this was not the most interesting meal I had in Spain, but the woman who ran the place was very nice, and the food was okay. Again, there is the free water! There is also wine, but most places make you choose between water and wine as your menu del dia beverage, or pay for the second drink, so this was a nice change. La Biotika is non-smoking.
Pros: nice staff * free water * decent food
Cons: small menu * not very exciting * |

Review: The food wasn't as boring as you would expect from a macrobiotic restaurant! Menu del dia was vegan (even the mayonnaise type sauce) and tasty. Quite filling. Staff were helpful and understood needs of vegans, though didn't speak any English.
The shop is very small and didn't have much ready-to-eat food.
Pros: Vegan menu-del-dia * Decent food * Handy location
Cons: Fairly unimaginative food * * |

Pros: Baked apple!!! * good portions * in the center
Cons: * * |

Review: This is one of six restaurants we visited on our trip to Madrid. It is open from 10 am – 5 pm and again from 7 pm - 12 am.
My companion and I each had different items from the Menu del Dia which costs 11 Euro. It's good value and filling – the selection of food on the main course plate I got was varied and tasty (seitan, yellow rice, green salad, beets, piece of tempura).
No coffee is available. Very small, cozy place but bordering on dingy. The store in front may be good by Spanish standards but by North American standards, it looked like a store you might shop in if you were vegetarian in the 1980s and desperate for anything that didn't have meat.
Staff was very friendly – the waitress did not speak English but the chef did and he was happy to step out of the kitchen to walk us through the menu.
Great location if you're in the center of Madrid!
Pros: Good Value * Friendly Staff * Creativity of Food
Cons: Venue a little dingy * The shop * |
