Delicious mezze - Edit
The negative reviews must be from a different time, because when we passed through, El Jardin de Califa had a large choice of vegan and vegetarian dishes, most of them mezze. Several vegetarian dishes can be veganized easily as well, just ask (the printed menu does not differentiate between vegan and vegetarian, but the online version does). The food quality was outstanding and the décor even more so. Would give five stars if I could.

Cons: Vegan options not labelled on printed menu

Experiencia exquisita - Edit
La cocina del grupo Califa de Vejer está deliciosa. En El Jardín del Califa puedes degustar platos de la gastronomía árabe sin necesidad de omitir ingredientes porque son cien por cien vegetales.
Read moreLa carta ofrece diversidad de opciones veganas, entre ellas platos típicos de la cocina marroquí como el hummus, el falafel o el cuscús.
Probé el falafel y el warakarish. En ambos platos, se adaptaron a mí y sustituyeron la salsa de yogur por compota de manzana y ensalada.
Super recomendado si quieres probar comida árabe en un ambiente acogedor y exquisito.
Pros: Variedad de opciones veganas, Ambiente y atmósfera del local, Amabilidad del personal
Cons: Precios un poco elevados

Lecker, schön an der Plaza gelegen - Edit
Wir haben hier sehr lecker gegessen und saßen draußen an der schönen Plaza.
Read moreIn der Karte ist markiert, was vegan / vegetarisch ist. Am besten bei der Bestellung sagen, dass es vegan sein soll, sonst bekommt man Joghurt als Dip oder Salatdressing.
Essen lecker, Bedienung nett, einigermaßen große Auswahl, Preise sind okay. Hier würden wir wieder hingehen.
Auf der Dachterrasse kann man mit tollem Ausblick sitzen, aber nur etwas trinken.
Pros: Leckeres Essen, Einigermaßen große Auswahl am veganen Gerichten, Tolle Location
Cons: Joghurt beim vegan markierten Essen (als Dip)

Gujarati? I don't think so. - Edit
I was keen to compare my pastela at the humble Cortijo in Zahara de la Sierra with the much posher Jardin del Califa. This one was described as "vegetarian pastela from the oven: a Gujarati recipe with Moroccan spices, prepared with potatoes and peas and served with fresh mango chutney."
Read moreWell, excuse me, but I think I know what Gujarati dishes taste like, having formerly lived near Wembley for decades, and this wasn't it. If they hadn't described it as Gujarati, it would've been perfectly acceptable.

Ein sehr schöner Ort - Edit
Schönes Restaurant, der Hummus hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Ich hatte noch einen Falafelteller bestellt (und extra gefragt, ob alles vegan ist), dann kam das Gericht aber leider mit Yogurthsauce. Kellner*innen waren alle sehr freundlich.
Read morePros: Hummus, Schöne location/Ambiente , Freundliche Menschen
Cons: Nur wenig vegane Optionen

Romantic - Edit
I had a lovely time at El Jardín del Califa. The place is really beautiful, the atmosphere quite special and we had dinner under a jasmine bush in the patio. Unfortunately, there are not many vegan options and they are not well described on the menu.
Read moreI had a couple of mezze which were nice, a lovely saffron sorbet, good red wine, and an herb liquor.
All in all, my experience was positive and I had the romantic dinner I was looking for.
Pros: Amazing setting , Very central, in the main square , Great wine menu
Cons: Not many vegan dishes , Not well described menu, Very busy, need booking

Great moroccan restaurant with decent amount of options - Edit
You'll first be amazed but how cool the location looks. Then you'll get confused by the menu. You can look at the paper menu and it's going to be different (regarding vegetarian/vegan dishes) from the online one that you can download scanning the qr code. Indeed in the paper menu there's an indication only for vegetarian and not vegan dishes. In the online menu there are some dishes that have lactose as an allergen but they are marked as vegan. My advise is to ask the waiter, we did that and he was very kind. It turned out that many dishes marked as vegetarian were also vegan and others could be easily made vegan. Everything we ordered was really good, we had Mezze del Califa (best babaganoush ever), Malfouk, Harira and Tagine vegetal. We were very pleased with all of them. I would definitely recommend the place if you're in Vejer de la Frontera.

Casi nada vegano - Edit
Las dos únicas opciones eran falafel, que estaba bastante bueno, y tabuleh, pero el table era un picadillo simple andaluz, no un tabuleh de verdad.
Read moreEl servicio muy lento aunque amable.
Pros: Si vas con gente no vegana, comerán bien
Cons: Caro y opciones casi nulas
