Riquísimo y barato entre semana - Edit
Todo lo que probamos estaba buenísimo, las croquetas de setas creo que son las mejores que he comido nunca, incluyendo antes de ser vegana. El menú entre semana son 13,90, súper bien para ser Salamanca y en pleno centro, además las porciones son bastante generosas. Probamos el tofu a la naranja, el risotto, las croquetas y la crepe de espinacas. El flan de coco es increíble. Merece muchísimo la pena en general. Fuimos sin reserva y la camarera nos pudo dar una mesa sin problema, pero es mejor reservar porque suele estar bastante lleno.
Read morePros: Muchas opciones veganas y sin gluten , Tienen menú del día bastante económico , Buena localización
Cons: Suele estar bastante concurrido y hay que reservar

Definitely a five star experience - Edit
I went here for lunch one day in March 2023 and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. This place costs about the same as the other places in town yet it’s a more upscale feeling. They give you a menu with about 20 items on it and you choose two of them, and decide which one will come first and which one will come second. The meal also comes with the choice of drink and choice of dessert. And I had the garbanzo bean stew and the soy meatballs. They came with a tomato and apple sauce and quinoa. For dessert I had chocolate pudding and to drink I had a bottle of blackberry cider. If you can only choose one place to eat while you’re in town, definitely make it this one. I went to four different veggie places while I was in town, and this one was my favorite.

Local minimalista - Edit
Restaurante con opciones veganas. El local es pequeño y minimalista, bien cuidado y limpio, creando un ambiente donde comer con tranquilidad y sin el típico barullo de los restaurantes.
Read moreNo son platos de demasiada calidad nutricional, al menos los veganos, pero sí está bien la presentación. Las croquetas son de proveedor, la ensalada de bolsa y el mismo arroz puede aparecer en platos distintos de acompañamiento.
La camarera fue muy agradable y nos dio mesa a pesar de ir con el tiempo justo y sin reserva.
Es imposible pedir medio menú o compartirlo, por lo que se pone caro si son varios comensales.
Pros: Varias opciones veganas, Local minimalista y limpio
Cons: Un menú por comensal, Saciante, pero no nutritivo, Precio del menú sin IVA

Un poco decepcionante - Edit
Opciones a rebosar de queso y/o béchamel. Pocas opciones de proteína vegetal como tofu, Tempeh, seitán.. Básicamente han eliminado carne y pescado de los platos y lo han sustituido por queso. Eso sí, las porciones son generosas.
Read morePros: Buenas porciones , Buena atención , Restaurante limpio
Cons: Exceso de lácteos , Poca proteína vegetal, Suplemento de 4€ por menu en fin de semana

Large portions but food is not great - Edit
We tried three dishes, the croquettes were good. But that was about it..the cannoli was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the courgette with so much cheese and the texture really threw me off..
Read moreThe portions are big.
Pros: Reasonably prices

Set lunch menu - Edit
We had lunch here and each ordered the set lunch menu. You get a lot in that menu - two dishes, a dessert, bread, and a drink. The food was nice, nothing super special but still pretty tasty and quick. The service was lovely. You have to specify you're vegan as most of the dishes are just vegetarian with a vegan modification option.

Comida riquísima!
Read moreEs la segunda vez que vengo a comer a este restaurante, y vuelvo a sentir una gran experiencia.
Hemos degustado varios platos del menú diario, y todos están deliciosos (legumbre del día, tofu a la naranja, pimientos rellenos y crepe de carnita), bastante cantidad y con mucho sabor.
Además para rematar los postres están de 10!
Recomiendo arroz con leche y flan de queso, aunque tengo que volver para probar más!
Muy buena calidad y un trato magnífico.
Volveré!

Decepcionante 😫 - Edit
Fui por recomendación, habiendo yo estado por ejemplo En el MARAVILLOSO RASTREL, y este es una decepción...
Read more12€ de menú para que te atiborren a carbohidratos baratos como si ser vegano o vegetariano fuera solo eso.
Sales lleno PERO NO SACIADO 😢
NO LO RECOMIENDO.
Recomiendo : Rastrel y Gastro Vegan ❤️
Cons: Caro, pobre alimentariamente, ingredientes baratos

Not quite what we expected it to be,but ok. - Edit
After reading all the reviews, and hearing what other ppl said about it, we had high expectations for El Laurel. So we did book in advance for a nice lunch.
Read moreWe left the restaurant a little bit disappointed unfortunately.
The menu card is an old plastified menu, with stains on it. Felt cheap and icky. Especially the menu card for vegans and lactose intollerants.
Not many and no surprising or creative options for vegans, in our opinion.
The dishes were ok. Nothing more, nothing less.
Having said that, it still is good to see that a non meat restaurant is filled to the last seat in a country like Spain, and that we as vegans have had the possibility to go out for lunch.
Staff is friendly.
Restaurant looks nice.
And it is very cheap, with only €11 for 3 courses, one drink and tablebread
All in all, maybe our expectations were raised too high. 3 out of 5
Pros: 100% vegetarian, Friendly staff, Prices
Cons: Lacking vegan options

Not to be missed! - Edit
As this restaurant is very popular, you need to book in advance. It is very worth visiting. Friendly staff, even when the restaurant was fully booked. Nice decor: modern and clean. But most importantly, the food was excellent. The daily menu we had was not expensive: 2 dishes, bread, drinks (water, beer or wine) and a dessert for € 11,90 per person. Fair choice of vegan dishes. The size of the portions is good. When ordering a la carte, it can be more expensive.
Read morePros: Very good food, Inexpensive daily menu, Friendly staff

Highly recommendable - Edit
Vegetarian/Vegan restaurant with a nice atmosphere and delicious food. Probably the best in the city. It's always packed, so you would need to book in advance (1 day before is usually OK). Portions are abundant and dishes are quite elaborated and tasty. Not too pricey. Probably they could do with another waiter (only 1 when I was there), but the service is excellent. Must try!

El Laurel - Positives to Tell - Edit
Popular and busy restaurant (when we visited it was full, but it was easy to book for the next day). A good selection of menu items and everything we had was high quality. I had what was probably the best Gazpacho soup I've ever eaten - totally delicious. Really nice decor - fresh, modern and clean. Definitely recommended.
Read moreThe only comment to add is that there's not an entirely clear distinction between starters and main dishes - and portion sizes are good. So it's worth considering ordering a range of things to share, rather than necessarily each having 'your own' dishes. As some things that would be great to share, might not be as enjoyable to have on your own. For example, one of us ordered mushroom croquettes - which were delicious, but they were served on their own and quite rich and there were quite a few to get through single-handedly.

Original Spanish vegetarian food - Edit
We really liked this restaurant. When I go to a restaurant on vacation I always like to have local dishes but it's often difficult to find local food that is also vegetarian. This is especially difficult in Spain and Portugal. This restaurant however served a wide range of really good local and tasty vegetarian dishes. Everything was really fresh. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. The staff is very friendly as well.

Vegetarian Restaurant - Edit
The restaurant is clean and recently renovated, it is located near the San Esteban Church. It is not vegan, many plates are made with cheese. We took a mixed salad made with fresh lettuce and tomates, cannelloni filled with seitan in a tomato sauce and melted cheese, vegetarian moussaka with melted cheese on it. We spent 16 euro each with two biers.

Well worth a visit - Edit
This restuarant is in a good location, fairly near to the Old Cathedral. I didn't find it difficult to find. However, as the outside is not lit up too well, it may be difficult to see from afar. Inside it is very fresh and bright. The waitress is very nice and speaks very clearly. Despite me having very limited Spanish, I was able it understand most of what she was explaining. English is at the back of the menu card for those who need it. The food here is good quality and there is a good variety. However, there does seem to be a limited amount of vegan dishes. We ordered the 'Menú Degustación', a vegetarian dish with bits of everything. This turned out to be a great choice and left our big appetites feeling well satisfied. It consisted of seitan, tofu, cheese dish, egg dish, salad, paella. For desert, the waitress recommend we go for the vanilla ice-cream and white chocolate soufflé. What a great recommendation that turned out to be. It was delicious, perhaps the best desert I ever tasted. We also tried the tiramisu which was lovely too. The glass of wine that came with the menu we ordered was good quality too. The brown bread was lovely too. And the nice liquorice and mint tea at the end helped settle our stomachs after our feast. If you are sick of getting rubbish veggie food when travelling, this will be a pleasant surprise, especially in a country which is renowned for it's meat-eating. Total for two came to just over €35. One of my favourite restaurants ever visited. Definitely well worth a visit. Lovely waitress, good food, clean eatery, etc.
