Parada obligatòria

Actualment l'únic vegà de l'Empordà.
La cuina de la Sebi és casolana i a l'hora un toc diferent, productes de mercat i cuinat amb molt de carinyo.

Preus del menú espectacular i el tracte immillorable.

Pros: Productes de qualitat , Tracte, Preu

Comida casera exquisita

Hicimos dos platos por persona y postre. Todo riquísimo, lleno de sabor y raciones grandes. Acabamos muy llenos y precio muy correcto.
Trato maravilloso y cercano.

Pros: Sebi, la cocinera y propietaria un encanto, Opción de take away

Cons: Los cubiertos con los que comimos eran de plástico

Comida con amor

Un pequeño establecimiento muy local donde podrás disfrutar de una comida casolana de muy buena calidad y cocinada con mucho cuidado y amor. La responsable es una mujer muy entregada y servicial, un encanto. Sí que podría haber más variedad (como dice algún otro comentario), pero viendo el tipo de local que es y que la responsable lo hace todo ella, está más que bien y no se le puede pedir más! Repetiremos seguro!

Pros: Calidad en la comida, Atención y servicio excelente, Todo sin sufrimiento animal

Menjar exquisit, casolà i a un preu immillorable!

Ens hem sentit com a casa, tant per la hospitalitat de la propietària com pel deliciós menjar casolà. Amb el que hem pagat no em tingut en cap moment la sensació de estar en una zona turística en temporada alta.

Great place, great good, very kind owner!

I loved the menu and we had black rice which is a typical dish, but converted to vegan, it was amazing!

Pros: Many is available with all vegan options, Dessert is great, Great value for the food

Cons: No terrace (probably in the future?)

A super little vegan/vegetarian place in L'Escala!

For my 50th birthday we decided to go and try this little vegan/vegetarian place in L'Escala. What a wonderful surprise! Sebi cooks all herself, most dishes are vegan and she clearly says when eggs or cheese was used. All three courses were very tasty and lovingly prepared. We particularly recommend the vegan cheesecake and carrot cake, and will clearly return there very soon. Thank you again, Sebi!

Pros: Tasty vegan dishes, Very warm and friendly welcome, Neat and comfortable environment to eat in

Nice, small bistro and take-away

Nice, creative and hand-made food. Great cakes! Serves vegetarian and vegan food. You can have a whole menu or single dishes. Very nice owner who will explain everything. Some chairs available to eat there or just take it away. Will come back!

Pros: Two options for each course. Vegetarian OR vegan.

Vegetarian not Vegan

We went to Mandala as we understood from Happy Cow it was a Vegan restaurant. The owner doesnt speak English, but we understood from her the food was “Vegano”. Whilst eating we noticed that she took eggs out her fridge and began preparing food. Vegans need to check whether their meal is without eggs (sin heuvos).

Pros: Cute decor

Cons: Food nothing extraordinary , Meal served in disposable dishes , Meal warmed in microwave. Barely warm.

Good meal even you aren't vegan

I'm not a vegan, but I chose Mandala Kitchen for having lunch a few days ago.

Fresh and excellent food cooked by the same person that serves: Laura. She's very kind and speaks French and English perfectly.

Menu's price is 10,50€ (without drinks). Food is tasty and well cooked. The portions are more than enough. I think this menu is umbeatable for the price.

Out of the summer season, Mandala Kitchen only opens from Thursday to Saturday. Keep it in mind.

Pros: Excellent food, Nice price, Kindly staff

Cons: Small room for big groups

Comida casera muy rica!

Nos salvó el fin de semana ya que por la costa brava no hay mucha opcion. Es bastante economico para lo que hay por esas zonas y teniendo en cuenta que es un menú cuidado y de calidad (10,50€ primero, segundo, pan y postre - bebida aparte). El ambiente es chulo y la dueña (o camarera no sé si es suyo) muy simpática y agradable. Te dan unos salvamanteles con mandalas para colorear mientras esperas, genial!

Pros: un trato genial, buen ambiente y comida y precio!

Cons: nada (la limonada un poco aguada pero nada grave)

Lovely in L'Escala

Had breakfast here the other morning. Such a lovely little cafe hidden in a street very near the main square and beach. Really lovely welcome from the owner and explanation of what was on offer. We chose the toasted bread with carrot humus, avocado and pea shoots and the toasted bread with vegan chorizo, avocado & tomato and pea shoots all washed down with a nice coffee and tea. The chocolate mousse cake looked amazing too, but we were driving and it wouldn't have survived. Note that this place closes at 16.00 hrs. It's only been open a couple of months and already making waves in L'Escala. Be sure to pop by if you're in town for some scrumptious food from a very skilled chef!

Pros: Great selection of vegan options, Really great value for money, Really modern interior

Cons: Only open till 16.00 hrs, Wished we'd found it sooner!

Amazing food !

I am so happy to find this place. I come to L'Escala every summer and as a vegetarian (no fish or meat ) I always struggle to eat out . Mandala has changed that ! The food is excellent quality, varied and interesting. I love ethics of the place with regards to packaging and the shop is very beautiful. The owner must work very hard to achieve this dream and she succeeds so well ! The price is very reasonable (especially when you come with ££!!) basically you must try it if you haven't already ! Thanks

Pros: Good value , Delicious , Beautiful

Great food and nice service

All vegan, lots of gluten free option, friendly and warm owner. Everything we tried (been there twice, eat in and take out) was fresh and delicious, from burgers for the kids to stuffed bellpepers and lemon cake. You really want to try everything !

Pros: large choice, all vegan, kids friendly

Cons: none
