Some vegan options, after adjusting

Maybe 1-2 first meals could be made vegan. For second meal there was falafel (take away yoghurt sauce).

Pros: Had english menu

Rico pero a mejorar!

Fui con mi madre a cenar unas tapas y no quedaban prácticamente ninguna ya que se las habían comido los clientes durante el día. Sin embargo, las tapas que pedimos estaban muy ricas. He vuelto a probar unos batidos de frutas y eso sí que fue un completo acierto!
He vuelto para comer el menú del día y sinceramente: estupendo!!

Few Options for Vegans

This is a huge cafe with a huge menu but it's hard to find anything for vegans. There are smoothies but nothing is clearly marked and everything contains yogurt or ice cream for the most part. I had a delicious cappuccino with almond milk that I enjoyed, but otherwise wasn't particularly excited by this spot. Seems popular though so others are enjoying it!!

Pros: great cappucino, centrally located

Cons: hard to read the menu, few options for vegans

Two vegan dishes in the menu.

Bonito y acogedor restaurante con decoración estilo indi.
Pero no sirven curris. La comida no varía del resto de restaurantes españoles.
Opciones vegetarianas varias.
Opciones vegana hay dos : Falafel y Gazpacho (pedidlo sólo, pues le echan jamón y huevo por encima)

Si eres vegan, no te lo recomiendo.

Inmejorable trato

Menu vegetariano muy rico, el falafel se notaba casero. El tomate en la Lasaña un poco acido para mi gusto pero es que la atención ha sido muy muy agradable.

Some good vegan options

There are surprisingly relatively many vegetarian (of which some can be veganized) on the menu. Usually in Salamanca, restaurants only have 'patatas bravas' as vegan options. Not Mandala.
Staff was very friendly, and offered us a nice vegan dessert which was not on the menu.
Food tasted good. Around €15 for 3 courses including one drink and tablebread.

Pros: Quite some veg options, Friendly staff

Cons: Serves meat

Some vegan choice

Decent choice of vegan items, we had falafel with mustard and veggies, and gazpacho. They also offer big salads. Conveniently located in the city centre.

Pros: conveniently located

Cons: limited choice

Ricas opciones veggies & gluten free

Fuimos a desayunar y repetimos para comer en Café Mandala, ya que cuentan con bastantes opciones veggies.
La verdad es que todo estaba muy rico, tanto las tostadas, el zumo y el yogi tea del desayuno, como el menú del día vegetariano.
La relación calidad-precio es buena. ¡Muy recomendable!
Importante destacar que tienen opciones sin gluten😄

Pros: Económico

Cons: Ruidoso

Una opción más

He ido varias veces a lo largo de estos años a este restaurante y debo decir que ha sabido adaptarse. Antes solo contaba con un menú vegetariano pero ahora tiene opciones veganas o que se pueden veganizar.
Postres veganos aún no tiene, aunque espero que los incorporen pronto, porque sería el punto que falta.
La comida está muy buena, calidad-precio más que aceptable.
Eso sí, el ambiente es un poco ruidoso.

Pros: Calidad-precio, Comida deliciosa

Cons: Ruido, No hay postres veganos

No preparado para vegan@s

Preguntamos por opciones veganas para desayunar y solo tenían leche de soja, y pan con aceite y tomate, aunque todo rico y bien de precio. Al ver que disponían de aguacate en otros platos, preguntamos si podrían preparar una tostadas con aguacate, pero nos dijeron que no.

Lovely place

Went for dinner with my family here. I'm vegan and family of meat eat eaters and pescatarians. Amazing service, waitress couldn't have been more helpful. Before I even said anything she suggested menu adaptations for the children. Food was great, we all enjoyed it. 2 or 3 vegan options. Very reasonably priced too :-)

Pros: great location, central salamanca

Un sitio muy acogedor, recomendable para vegetarianos y carnivoros(Para veganos la cosa está mas limitada ). Música agradable, raciones abundantes, servicio agradable y rápido, etc. Recomiendo los falafel. Están riquisimos!!!!!

Pros: ambiente, servicio , sabor de los platos

Cons: no hay carta, poca opción vegana

Mejor para vegetarianos que para veganos.

Se trata de un lugar más adecuado para vegetarianos que para veganos. Siempre he comido bien y las empleadas son muy agradables.

Mediocre

We had the Lunch/Dinner menu. It was mediocre but the price was not cheap. The milkshakes were ok but more flavored milk than a real icy milkshake

Pros: Veggie options

Cons: Expensive for low quality

Not great for vegans

I would only recommend it to vegetarians with meat eating friends that wouldn't consider eating in an "only veg" restaurant. If you are vegan, you'll have to veganize your menu choices, and do make sure they don't come with unexpected extras! I picked 2 vegetarian courses from the menu: tagliatelli with mushrooms and caramelised onion, and roasted eggplant with mushrooms. They would seem vegan by looking at the menu, but surprisingly both came covered in melted cheese.

Cafe Mandala - Didn't Help Our Pallor

Really puzzled by the great reviews of this place. True - there is a good selection of veggie options. But we found everything we chose to be pretty terrible - nothing tasted great at all and we didn't finish the lukewarm dishes. By far one of the less good veggie places we've been to in Spain in the past few years.

We had a table in the back section of the restaurant. Harshly lit, with tired decor. All rather depressingly accompanied by having to listen to hits from the 90's videos on the TV channel they'd chosen as entertainment.

Suggest best avoided.

Pros: Friendly service

Cons: Poor quality food, Poor atmosphere

Menús baratos en el centro de Salamanca

La mitad del menú es vegetariano (señalizado en verde). No suele haber platos veganos ni de tapa ni en el menú. El menú no es muy generoso, pero está muy bien por 10€. Contiene un primer y segundo plato, pan, agua o cerveza y un postre. El bar es famoso también por sus fabulosas tartas.

Pros: Excelentes tartas y menús vegetarianos baratos.

Cons: Pocas o ninguna opción vegana.

Good place for vegetarians

They have a set meal option for 10 Euro incl. taxes..Vegetarians have a lot of options to chose from the primary course and secondary course. They serve complimentary bread, wine / beer and dessert too. The ambience is great and the food is very tasty..located very close to Cathedral and University

Pros: Nice ambience, Good selection of items, Value for money

I'd give 5 cows if this would be allowed for a non-veg restaurant

When I was there, about half of the menu was vegetarian. And what I had was delicious and very well presented. The staff was very friendly and attentive even though they had to run to keep everybody happy.

Pros: Delicious And Well Presented , Very Reasonable Price, Friendly Staff And Great Location

Best vegetarian restaurant in Salamanca

We ate at Cafe Mandala twice during our three days in Salamanca, and enjoyed the food and the ambiance, though it did get a bit noisy on the Saturday evening! We were eating dinner, but the large group of Spanish students were just starting their evening. The staff were very helpful and we were delighted to find that Cafe Mandala is open from 8:00 am to midnight and serves food (not just tapas) throughout the day.The 12-euro set menu had at least one vegan option for each course, plus a beverage (including wine). A very good value. The central location was very convenient.

Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, great location

Nice place in the heart of Salamanca

I used to go there a lot while studying in Salamanca! It's a very nice and cool place to hang out! They have amazing juices and milkshakes (at the time,at least, all were with dairy)! A menu is also available with good "combination dishes" which means, a little portion of different food, veggies, cereals, etc and it was very good to taste! But it is a mixed restaurant which serves meat as well so have that in mind if you're shearching for a strict vegetarian/vegan. Prices are reasonable!
The decoration is warm and welcoming and it was always full of people! Great environment! At that time, in Salamanca, there were not many veggie options so Mandala was always a place we'd go! It's near all the libraries and right in the centre so we always had an excuse to stop there!!

Pros: Veggie options, Location, Nicely decorated

Cons: No vegan milkshakes
