An eating oasis - Edit
What a great place! There are now lots of tables and it's a great place for food, drink, coffee, vegan desserts, etc. My partner and I struggled to finish our 'economico' - our choice of four dishes from hot and cold selections, all combining flavours perfectly, plus a soup and a juice, all for less than 8 euros. Definitely worth a detour! It's very close to parts of the university, and only a short walk down the hill from the Trionfo Gardens.
Read morePros: flavour combinations, freshness of the food, friendly staff
Cons: are there any toilets?

nice and good prices - Edit
I had a menu there. It contained four little dishes served in a pine boat, gazpacho, bread and water. I was pretty happy with the taste and the price but it was not as special as I have experienced in other vegan restaurants.
Read moreThe woman who served me was very friendly.
I heard from a local vegan that food used to be better.
Pros: good taste, price, friendly staff
Magdalena, owner
The price as you say is outstanding. When you came it was under 5 euros for the basic meal...it's 6 now...our aim is fast, flavourful, friendly and affordable meals...all vegan and all gluten-free...we hope that vegans, local or otherwise, will continue to support us in putting out over 18 dishes a day to choose from...so glad that you did...

one more reason I love Granada - Edit
This is my favorite place to eat in Granada--they have by far the most choice for vegans, and even have a good selection of vegan desserts. Lots of interesting world fusion flavors, and good ecological wine.
Read morePros: loads of options, excellent food, inexpensive
Magdalena, owner
Thanks. It's great to appreciated. We have a lot of free cook workshops over the year. If you want to extend your range of vegan cakes at home, come by and try one out...

Good cake - Edit
We only ate cake there and avoided the rest of the food because of our experience at El Piano in Malaga. Maybe the cook is better here but the food looked exactly the same (see my review for El Piano in Malaga for details).
Read moreAnyway, the cake was good.
Magdalena, owner
It's great that you found the food to be similar...we aim to ensure that all our regular diners, whichever El Piano they choose, can be assured of great vegan AND gluten-free options. Your review of Malaga was very pleasant so we assume the same of your Granada experience and thank you for your time in writing about us.

Good cheap organic vegan meal - Edit
great staple vegan organic food, and cheap considering it's organic. Pick and mix from a selection of dishes, you chose, they will serve for you. Some of the selections looked a little old, but not so sure about that. Great to have an all vegan selection, including various deserts. Also have a selection of vegan and organic wines to take away. Spoke English first time we went in, but not second time. Make coffees.
Read morePros: Speak English, Relatively cheap
Cons: Not a lot of seating
Magdalena, owner
Thanks for your review... Regrettably not everything we serve IS wholly organic, just so you know. The staples almost all are, rice, beans, flours etc. It is the fresh things that are harder to source as organic all year round. In Granada we have our own producers and so in the summer we are well supplied, El Piano in Malaga is new so we are building contacts ... We make every effort and locally sourced foods are also big on our agenda. We look forward to the day when everything we use is BOTH organic and locally sourced and still be able to sell at an affordable price...

Great place! - Edit
Ate here in April 2011. Came across it accidentally on a SUNDAY and was very pleased to find out that it was open!
Read moreBetween my friend and I we tried quite a few things and everything was AWESOME. Nice little place with a cozy atmosphere. A few stools for sitting but only a few.
Enjoy!
Pros: Plenty of choice, Well priced, Open Sundays
Cons: Little seating
Magdalena, owner
Sundays we are now closing as of March 15, 2012... but our daily openings have been extended to 11pm... we also have more seating you will be pleased to hear! Thank you for your review and we look forward to showing you the improvements next time you are in.

great variety of vegan foods - Edit
El Piano Gran Capitan was our last-minute dinner decision. Since the one in closer to the old city was closed, we drove all the way to this one.
Read moreUpon entering we were greeted by a lovely Spanish lady, who explained their concept and food options in brief. To our surprise the guy behind the counter spoke fluent English, so we had no problems communicating.
The food was delicious, my boyfriend even got the second boat! I especially loved the noodle-broccoli-banana salad.
The carrot cake and the date cake were very rich and satisfying.
Pros: friendly staff, good value, good English spoken
Magdalena, owner
Thank you for your kind words!The food is both vegan AND gluten-free so we are always thrilled when people are so complimentary...

Delicious - Edit
Simply delicious, varied and cheap food. It is a mix of spanish and world cuisine adapted for vegetarians.
Read morePerfect location, just outside the Monasterio de los Jeronimos, a major sight in Granada.
Magdalena, owner
Thanks for the kind words and also for the mention of San Jeronimo to help people find us. We are on a major road, but as we are across town (10 minutes walk) from the Plaza Nueva at the base of the Alhambra some people often don't get past Plaza Nueva...

A bit good - Edit
After traveling through Spain for a while this place was a very welcome find. The Cuatro Platos, any four dishes from a buffet, served in darling wooden boats, was extremely good value at 4eur and the variety and quality of the food was fantastic. On top of this the owners and staff were brilliant, happy to speak in English or Spanish, and wonderfully friendly. One of my favourite vegan places I have visited.
Read morePros: Cheap, Bilingual, Sunny disposition
Cons: No tables
Magdalena, owner
We regret that it has taken us so LONG to respond to these reviews from earlier years... many of them sent people our way and in these difficult times every sale matters... thank you so much for your endorsement... prices have risen I fear, but the same smiling faces speaking in many tongues endure...

OUTSTANDING! with an emphasis on the standing :) - Edit
This is one of my favorite places in all of Spain. There is a method to it, its not a sit down restaurant. You get these "boats" where you can choose 4 deli selections for only 3 or 4 Euros! The whole place is vegan. The food is amazing! English is spoken. So back to the boats! Everything is very eco, they use these super thin wood boats as plates and select the hot items first and they heat them up in a steam oven then add your cold selections. I had Moroccan Rice & Millet (both oil free) and salsa and carrots. The highlight of my trip was the soymilk cheesecake. It has no oil in it and was probably the best healthy dessert I've ever had. If you want to indulge they have potato salads, a few fried items and other scrumptious desserts! Again 100% Vegan and more choices than you'll know what to do with! We hit it up for lunch and then toured Granada and went back again the same day! That's how good El Piano is! Parking was pretty easy there are metered spots along the street its on, grab the first one you see! Only two small chairs in the place, but you eat standing at the counter and they have free tea!
Read morePros: healthy selections, cheesecake, low price!
Cons: standing room only
Magdalena, owner
You were our first reviewer on HAPPY COW of El Piano Granada... We hope that all the good things you liked are still the same. What has changed though is there are more places to sit! Thanks for your support in the beginning. It is much appreciated. Try out El Piano in Malaga if you can. That opened in Dec 2011 and has always had enough seats!
