Muy rico, tardan mucho - Edit
La comida es deliciosa, pero sabiendo que tardan tanto se quitan las ganas de ir. Han tardado 40 minutos en traernos una tapa y 1 hora y pico en traer el plato principal. Esto ha ocurrido varias veces.

Comida buenísima - Edit
La comida está buenísima, es de los mejores restaurantes con opciones veganas de Almería en ese sentido. Además, hay bastante variedad en la carta, estando lejos de ser como esos establecimientos en los que solo te ofrecen una o dos opciones en toda la carta. Y por si fuera poco, ¡recientemente han añadido platos con Heura! Si tuviera que señalar algún fallo, diría que aunque el personal es atento y amable, tardan mucho en servir.

👌🏻 - Edit
Hay muchas opciones vegetarianas en el menú y todas son veganizables. El trato del personal es muy bueno al igual que su cocina. Es mejor reservar para fines de semana y festivos, por ahora solo funcionan con la terraza y el sitio es bastante popular.

Tasty vegan options - Edit
(ESP) Aunque es cierto que algunas veces no les quedan todas las opciones incluidas en su menu, intento ir a el candil cada vez que paso por Almería y nunca me ha decepcionado. Sus croquetas veganas y salsas son geniales y, como su nombre/especialidad dice, el hummus es increible. Tienen un amplio espacio exterior en el que es un placer sentarse a tomar una cerveza y unas buenas tapas veganas.
Read more-------------------
Whilst it is true sometimes they're out of stock in some of their menu items, I always try to stop by El Candil every time I'm around Almería and I've never been disappointed. Their vegan croquetas and sauces are great and, as the restaurant name and specialty says, their hummus is unreal. They offer a big outdoor seating space where it's always a pleasure to sit down and enjoy some beers and great vegan tapas.
Pros: Amplio espacio exterior/ outdoor space, Variedad de tapas veganas/ vegan tapas variety
Cons: Some of their items tend to be out of stock

Únicamente dos tapas veganas - Edit
No lo recomiendo. Únicamente tenían dos tapas de cortesía veganas, por lo que pedí una ración de milhojas de berenjena con queso vegano (el chico se confundió en la comanda) y su precio me parece excesivo para la cantidad que ponen, 2 rodajas de berenjena con queso vegano por encima 4,50€. Por otro lado, pedimos otra ración de hummus clásico que me pareció un precio desorbitado viendo la cantidad del mismo (un plato pequeño) y el precio real de la materia prima 6€.
Read moreNo volveré, creo que hay más bares con opciones en Almería y más económicos.
Cons: Únicamente dos tapas veganas en toda la carta., Poca cantidad en las raciones veganas., Mucho tiempo de espera.

Es que ya no es un bar de tapas y por la fecha de tu cometario creo que los pillarías justo en la conversión. Ahora lo han reconvertido a restaurante hindú y tiene muchas opciones (pero MUCHAS MUCHAS) riquísimas y de mucha calidad. Ya no tiene tapas, pero para eso ya hay muchos otros sitios. Si te gusta ese tipo de comida te lo recomiendo mucho porque yo estoy disfrutando un montón de sus platos.

Some vegan options and plenty of outdoor seating - Edit
Very friendly restaurant. Plenty of outdoor seating with heaters for winter. One English speaking staff, very helpful. Good range of vegan options including channa masala, falafel (both with cilantro so not for me), nice vegan burger free with my wine, racion (large plate) of fried potatoes and gorgeous sweet sour pimentos. Popular bar with locals. Hummus not vegan. No vegan desserts sadly.
Read morePros: Good range of vegan tzpas, Cheap- tapas pricd offset by wine price, Good quality food
Cons: No desserts

A good menu, but.... - Edit
A friendly little place, but I fear we caught them on a bad day. Of the 3 tapas we wanted, they had run out of 2 - no hummus and no chana masala, this despite chana masala with spinach being on the specials board...none of that either!
Read moreThe veggie chilli was excellent, also the potatoes with salsa and peppers.
The wine is pricey at €3 a glass, but they do give you a free tapa, or a discount, so it balances up. However, if you are working to a budget, it is quite hard to work out what the bill will be!
Pros: Excellent menu, vegan options clearly marked.
Cons: Our choices were simply not available.

Cons: Gets very busy on Friday and Saturday nights

Good! - Edit
This little tapas restaurant has a lot of vegan options, mainly tapas and a lot of hummus, some of these are vegan.
Read moreThe tapas are really cheap, but big, so you can be satisfied only by eating them!
I took the Hummus verde that I shared with a friend of mine, and two tapas: the falafel (3 pieces) were really good and the Chana Masala with spinach was a big portion (it is served with Basmati rice on the bottom of the bowl) and it was delicious. The tapas cost 1.8€ each.
If you want to eat only tapas and hummus you can't seat at the table, but only on the footstools.
Pros: A lot of vegan tapas, Really cheap

Vegan tapas bargain! - Edit
We were visiting the Alcazaba and needed a quick lunch. This was the perfect choice for a family with fussy children. Loads of vegan choice; we had 8 tapas dishes, 4 of which were free with drinks and 6 of which were vegan. The vegan burger and falafels were the highlights but all were good. We also treated ourselves to the hummus which was a little pricey (in comparison) but really tasty. Whole lot with puds for the kids came in at just over 30 euros.
Read morePros: Great vegan tapas choice , Good value, High quality food
Cons: None

So good we paid - Edit
The way tapas work seems to vary in different parts of Spain; in Almería, it seems you get an obligatory tapa with every beer or wine, and pay a little extra for the drink (but surely not enough to cover the cost of the food). So, one tapa is free: but the vegan tapas in El Candil were so good we had three or four, and actually paid for them.

Lo mejor la hamburguesa - Edit
Hamburguesa vegana (y sus patatas) de las mejores tapas, lo demás todo es estandar. Quizás un poco caro para lo que es

El Candil - Approaching Brill - Edit
In a nice spot, the service was very helpful and friendly and there were a fair number of veggie/vegan tapas options to choose from.
Read moreOverall we found the dishes varied a bit in quality and it would have been great if there were just a few more to choose from. The first time we went for lunch we thought it was marvellous, but probably had chosen the best dishes; so on our second visit we weren't quite as enthusiastic. But given the limited options in the city then this place is definitely recommended. Particularly as it was really good value for money.
Pros: Value for money, Some good options, Nice location
Cons: Could do with bit > variety and few more options
