Thanks for your review... Our hours have changed which is why it might be confusing... Now we are open daily Mondays to Saturdays, 11am - 4pm and then again 7pm until 11pm. We are closed now in Granada on Sundays and in Malaga on Mondays.

great variety of vegan foods

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.
Upon 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

Delicious

Simply delicious, varied and cheap food. It is a mix of spanish and world cuisine adapted for vegetarians.
Perfect location, just outside the Monasterio de los Jeronimos, a major sight in Granada.

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

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.

Pros: Cheap, Bilingual, Sunny disposition

Cons: No tables

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 :)

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!

Pros: healthy selections, cheesecake, low price!

Cons: standing room only

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!
