- Just amazing
First of all, if you have not gone to Sevilla, you have to go! It is such a beautiful city and the people are so warming and nice. I had done my research about Spain years ago and most of Spain was not Vegan Friendly at that time but this restaurant gave me the courage to plan a trip to Sevilla :) Once I got there, I made the plan to go. First of all, don't ask the bus drivers because they don't know where Mercado Central is. At least the one I took. Second, if they tell you to get off on Plaza de Armas, don't do it, it is too far. Instead, get off at Plaza de Toros. I know is a cringing experience getting off there, but it is the closest stop. Once you find the market, you will find her by one of the exits but unfortunately, she's so close to the fish that if you go and sit down to eat, you will be smelling fish the whole time :( I feel so bad about this inconvenience. I went there a couple of times and she's such a life saver. Super nice and super helpful. She shared with me that she makes meals three times a week and the rest of the week, she only has pastries and desserts. I went on a Thursday and tried the adobo, the churrasco and the Andaluz burger (We were three people). The churrasco is a seitan steak with an amazing sauce that I speculate has some achiote in it. The adobo is a vegan version of an andaluz dish made with fish and she veganizes it with deep fried seitan. It was also very delicious and we took some back to the hotel to make sandwiches for dinner and it kept up well. My brother had the Andaluz burger and he said it was also delicious with very interesting flavors. I almost forgot to mention that the food was super delicious and CHEAP!! 5 Euros for a burger? Churrasco was like 3 Euros? Crazy!!! :) She shared with me that although Sevilla is still not that Vegan Friendly, it is changing and from two years ago, people are more open to non-dairy milk. I went to several super markets and confirmed that they have a wide variety of plant based milks and plant based butters. Also, there are several restaurants, specially those near the hostels that have veg options even if they're not fully vegetarians. I need to go back to Sevilla and I will definately will be going back to Veganitessen. By the way, I am bilingual (spanish is my frist language) therefore, I was able to have a full conversation with her. However, she does speak English and she has several signs in English as well.
