Disappointing

I’m sad the reviews didn’t reflect our experience. The atmosphere is great and the food itself was okay and cheap but we were waiting an hour and a half for our food and watched people get served the same things before us. The food itself couldn’t have taken as long as it did to make. Our order wasn’t correct because the staff who took it didn’t write anything down when we were saying it. The staff weren’t welcoming at all and it made us all feel crap. Maybe it was just a bad day? I wouldn’t recommend if you’re just going to eat, only if you want a nice atmosphere to have some drinks or are close by and hungry.

Pros: Cheap, Nice environment

Cons: Long wait time, Unwelcoming staff

Bar diferente

Este sitio es muy distinto al resto de restaurante vegetarianos y veganos de Madrid. La comida es muy buena y casera, de platos generosos, y la ambientación del sitio demuestra conciencia social. Es un sitio al que volvería mil veces.

Perfect place for a quick grub

Burgers, tostas and tapas to have a quick and inexpensive dinner. Not the most original choices but they're ok. They have a large selection of craft beers. It can get very busy.

Pros: inexpensive, craft beers, anarquist atmosphere

CLOSED

It was closed, although Happy Cow said it was open. NO WAY. You have to update the information. It happens a lot in the last time: I go half an hour to a vegan restaurant - marked as open in Happy Cow - just to find out it is closed.

Cons: Closed when it should be open

I'm sorry that you found it closed. We haven't received any information about a closure for this venue. We rely on the community to inform us. I hope you found somewhere else to eat.

Cervezas y tapeo en lavapi

El Louka nunca defrauda. Ideal para ir a tomar unas cervezas artesanales y una hamburguesa en un espacio libertario. La de lentejas es mi favorita, que por 5€ te sale con papas y bebida. También tienen tostas, croquetas, pisto... No es completamente vegano pero ya no usan carne. Es pequeño y se llena. Mucho buen rollo y futbolín. Aunque no seas del barrio, tienes que visitarlo... Engancha!

Pros: Ambiente social, buenos precios, cervezas

Cons: Sillas incómodas si estás mucho rato

Politiqueo, futbolín y cervezas

Han dejado de vender carne y me alegra muchísimo. Siguiente paso el queso y el huevo 👏🏾👏🏾

El Luka, como es popularmente conocido, es un bar perfecto para pasar las tarde-noches de los findes. Sitio de encuentro entre muchas personas que participamos en movimientos sociales que sobretodo buscamos un poco de desconexión, cerveza y unas partidas al futbolín.
Las opciones de comida vegana superan en cantidad a las carnacas, además son básicamente todos los principales. Las hamburguesas de avena están buenísimas y por 5€ las tienes con patatas estilo panaderas y bebida. Simceramemte, no sé porqué siguen vendiendo carne cuando ya tiene una clientela estable que va por el ambientazo.
No es un local muy grande así que si tienes pensado ir allí a cenar (en vez de dejarte caer) ve pronto porque los fines de semana se peta y si hay fútbol todavía más.
Un gran bar que cumple sus funciones de crear espacios de ocio con contenido político y que será glorioso cuando se haga definitivamente vegano.

Nice bar with a friendly atmosphere

Loukanikos is a cheap bar offering a vegetarian menu of which most of the dishes are vegan.

The food is really good. My favorite dishes are the croquetas (both varieties but I prefer the zucchini ones), the deep fried eggplant with salmorejo and the patatas bravas (fried potatoes with a spicy sauce). The atmosphere of the place (there is a foosball table, a chess board, nice music, ...) also contributes towards making it a local favorite, attracting a lot of people to the bar.

The bar is small and it gets really crowded, especially on the weekends, so it is necessary to go quite early if you want to get a table.

Pros: Cheap, Good food

Cons: Gets really crowded

Buen ambiente y comida rica.

Buen ambiente y buena comida vegetariana con alguna que otra opción vegana. Es mas bien un bar para tomar unas cerves que un restaurante pero se puede cenar muy bien.
