Review: We had lunch here at around 3:30pm on a weekday, and there was plenty of seating. The decor inside is really interesting, previous customers had scribbled messages on the walls. It's all very cute.

I had mixed vegan plate (12,90 euros) which was a bit of everything. It included small portions of salad, saffron rice with artichokes, a ratatouille type stew, samosa, bhaji-type fried vegetables, and some very yummy spinach croquettes.

My best friend had a Brocheta de la Casa (11,90 euros) which was a mixed plate with a bit of many of their most popular lacto-ovo dishes.

Everything tasted very nice, and the portions were generous. I can't remember what fresh juice I had, but do remember that it was huge and sooo good.

The waiter was friendly and chatty, and made a point to tell me that the creamy looking sauce on my plate was vegan, which was very nice of him.

They let the cutest stray cat hang around and sleep on one of their patio chairs, bless!

Review: it's always an added bonus to note that your intended veg resto was in your travel guidebook all along... came here in november, & was a little chilly inside,but the hot food & mustard yellow walls helped warm (as the kindness of the staff). cute little corner, near the Roman Theatre. Enligh menu. smoking permitted. had some tasty food: melted, herbed provolone (the media was huge even for 2 people); seitan brochettes with different fillings; uniquely-made cannelloni & spinach with almonds & a bolognese sauce. huge portions of everything. delicious sangria with huge fruit chunks. plain bread with no butter, oil, or plates. 15 euro & up. Credit card OK.
 
Pros: good value * tasty food * great place
Cons: smoking * some cuisine weird *

Review: I visited this restaurant twice last week (august 2008), when I was on holiday in Malaga for 3 day's. If it wouldn't have been closed on Sunday I would have eaten there every day, because I loved this restaurant. It has a wide variety of vegetarian en vegan plates and also whole wheat pasta en fresh juices. The food was excellent and original. You also get really nice vegetables, rice and a tortilla with your mean dish. There was a friendly staff, English menu, nice terrace and good location.
I would like to have a restaurant like this in my hometown!

Review: We really enjoyed the lunch we had here. It was original, freshly prepared and tasty. The service was great and the seating terrace cool on a really hot day. A place you can linger in and enjoy the menu del dia or original a la carte. We will go again!
 
Pros: choices * taste * location
Cons: none * *

Pros: selection and price * atmosphere * in/out door both great
Cons: * *
