beautiful!! - Edit
This is such a lovely place with food prepared by Lola. She works alone and all the food is delicious. I had the hummus tapas after reading someone's else's review about it on here and all 3 hummus dishes were amazing! I told her I had a cold and she made a digestive tea with oregano and ginger added in for me ???

Pros: small cozy place with delicious food and some vega

Delicious food and relaxing yoga - Edit
Hurry up and go to Lola's place. She makes the most delicious food and is just the sweetest human being you will meet.
Read moreYou can either get the "menu del dia" that includes a starter, main meal and coffee or tea, or you can order from the card.
If you're a yogi she offers yoga classes as well for both beginners and more advanced students.
If you sign up for a yoga class you get the lunch menu for free. Really good value for money!
I would stay in Malaga just to eat more of Lola's delicious food!

Unforgettable! - Edit
We were visiting Malaga and decided to go to this beautiful little place. We were greeted with such a positive spirit and we were told her amazing story that really made you reflect on life. She is very passionate about her cooking and it clearly showed. She is willing adjust anything for your preference and she also told us she does catering for people all around the world. It would be very suiting for a date or even a party for 30 people. It was a beautiful little restaurant/store and she really made you feel at home. The food was absolutely outstanding and if you are ever visiting Malaga this resturant is a must.

Amazing! - Edit
I was going to stay a day in Malaga and stumbled across this place. We decided to try it and all I can say is that it was an amazing experience. The owner is so friendly and the food was very good. If you ever visit Malaga you need to go here, vegan or not. You feel really inspired after talking to this woman and it's really interesting to hear her story.
Read morePros: Very friendly staff., Very cute resturand and shop
Cons: She could work a bit on the apperance of the food.

Tasty Tapas - Edit
I found it difficult to find good Vegan/Veg food in Málaga, but El Karmem was delicious! I had the 3 Tapas (which also came with bread and a small desert, so let's call it 5 Tapas. I've had hummus in 4 different continents, but the hummus here might have been the best yet. The only con about this place was that it is a bit expensive for what you get. That being said, the delicious food and wonderful atmosphere more than made up for it.
Read moreThere is a nice, down to earth vibe that is created by the owner (who is also the sole cook, waitress and cleaner). Although she was busy, she still made a point of asking me about my travels and sharing about some of her own. Even though she speaks very good English, she let me practice my (less than par) Spanish and we had some good conversation.
She works 7 days a week all by herself just to keep this place afloat, so if you're looking for some good vegan food in Málaga this is the place to go!

Delicious - Edit
The best restaurant/Cafe I was at, on my trip through Andalusia. Nice and clean place. Very kind service, she prepares and cooks the meals with passion, creativity and much care. The food was delicious. We had hummus, mango and vegan burger (not sure but I think the burger was mainly made of chickpeas, very nice though). If I ever stop by in Malaga, I will definitely visit "El Karmem Yoga Cafe" again. I recommend it highly!

Truly unique! - Edit
Set on a quiet peaceful side street in Malaga, it seems to be run single handedly by a local lady with a passion for healthy eating, yoga and vegan food. She speaks excellent English so you won't have a problem communicating if you don't speak Spanish. The food is all organic and mostly from her own garden. It was one of the only 100% vegan Places I came across in Malaga so was refreshing to find somewhere that we didn't have to constantly ask what was in everything. I highly recommend this place. The food is delicious. There is a choice of either raw of cooked meals, so it was nice to have a combination of the two. This was great, as I like many other vegans, I'm not a huge fan of totally raw vegan. They also sell hand made soap, black garlic, and incense. I will definitely visit again if I go back to Malaga in the future.

Unforgettable experience - Edit
Me and my girlfriend visited Malaga during our 10 days in Spain (we only just returned) and I've had it on my mind ever since we visited El Karmen to leave a review once i'm back home.
Read moreWe looked on Happy Cow to see vegan restaurants in the area and we stumbled upon El Karmen.
We were very kindly greeted and welcomed by the store owner who was very willing to make any menu adjustments to cater our preferred tastes, etc.
We ordered Tapas for 9 euros, which we were able to comfortably share. The kind owner also gave us extra carrots and bread to dip into humous (which was very delicious!!)
While we were eating, she decided to sit with us which was a very new experience but was one which i shall never forget.
My girlfriend and I were astonished at how calm and contained the store owner was. She was able to comfortably tell us her plans for the future of the store as well as her personal development (which was truly inspirational). She was very into meditation and self-care, which are elements I have always aimed to implement myself and so she was more than willing to give us a little lesson on meditation right after we had finished eating.
I cannot emphasise how enlightening it truly was.
If me and my girlfriend ever return to Spain, El Karmen is definitely on our TO-DO list.
Seriously, if you get the chance to visit El Karmen in Malaga; DO IT. Seriously.
Pros: Unforgettable, Amazing, delicious and healthy food, Beautiful store accompanied by a beautiful owner

Amazing place hidden in a little street - Edit
This is a magical place, I have been here several times, it just attracts me back with its harmonic atmosphere and delicious, nutritious food.
Read moreThe owner puts her heart into preparation of the food and she does great research on healthy ingredients.
There are always new choices, and you can even design your own smoothie or juice if she stores the ingredients.
The cakes are yummy and she does a calming digestive tea which is great to finish your meal with.
There is always soup, either raw or cooked.
If you eat fully raw you can enjoy her beautiful salads with gazpacho or other raw soup and there is occasionally some raw cake.
I always feel well after each meal, it is a brilliant detox.
The owner speaks very good English, and always happy to design your meal for individual taste.
Pros: friendly owner, delicious and nutritious meats each other, very good atmosphere
Cons: you may need a map to find this place but it is de

Delicious homemade vegan food :) - Edit
I went here for lunch before catching a flight from Málaga, and I was supersuper happy with everything. The food is simply delicious: I couldn't decide what to get, so the owner created a giant mixed plate for me. It had lentil burger, homemade hummus, tapenade, green salad, ratatouille with rice, lentil stew with bulgur, fresh warm bread and olives. YUM. :) i also got a homemade herbal tea for dessert, and some delicious banana bread. Everything was super tasty. Plus, the owner is absolutely friendly, too. All in all, this is a very special place and I highly recommend you go there if you're in Málaga. :)

Tasty homemade food, prepared with love - Edit
A lovely cafe with a sense of calm and tranquility that is felt as soon as you enter. The owner is warm, welcoming, speaks English and prepared us some delicious and tasty food. The price was fair for the quality of the food and although she didn't have too much produce in stock, being the end of the week, the food she made us was creative and very tasty.

Delightful. - Edit
Delicious food. The ingredients are sourced with care and our host chatted with us throughout the meal about each dish. Carrot cake with clove should be sampled if it is available on the day, I cannot guarantee you will like it as the flavour is very bold but the experience is quite unique!
