Cozy and friendly place

Definitely one of my favourite restaurante in town! I love the selections and is perfect to try many different dishes in a lovely environment. Fully vegan with a friendly staff, healthy and delicious. I recommend to everyone who loves simple and genuine places with great food from all over the world.

High quality food

Very nice food. High qualiy and delicious recipes. A bit expensive but it is worth it. Homemade style and taste. Attentive staff. Eco ingredients is a plus.

Pros: homemade style, many options, ecological

Cons: The menu is a bit confusing, Servings could be bigger

Great place

Excellent service. If you are looking for options free from fried food, soy, starches and grains (and gluten), this is the place in Granada. If you ask, she will even know all the ingredients of every meal.

Pros: Good menu, Friendliness

Good value for money

Nice & friendly vegan cafe. I went with two other people and we had the sharing tray which was plenty for us to eat, and took home what we didn’t. I also bought some handmade natural cosmetics which were on display. :)

Pros: Handmade cosmetics , English menu available, Friendly staff

Cons: Could do with more descriptions of meals on menu

could have been better

This place has an old-fashioned veggie atmosphere, idem food, and friendly staff. We had a mixed platter with a number of their cold and warm dishes, but it was not really enough for two people. The overall food quality was ok, and some dishes stood out.

Pros: nice staff

Cons: rather expensive for what you get (quant & qual)

Good Selection

Quite a large selection on the menu. We tried the quiche with caramelized onion, veggie-burger with salad, dhal and a bottle of red grape juice.

I found the quiche a bit sweet and not as good as a vegan quiche I had in Lisbon. The rest were good, not great. The juice is a good deal, 750mL for 2.95euro.

We really enjoyed the piano playing and the service.

Pros: Variety of choices, Healthy, Piano

Cons: Not the greatest quality

genial!

Tenía muchas ganas de ir a este sitio porque habìa oido hablar muy bien de su comida y ahora ya puedo dar fe!! estuve cenando y me encantó todo lo que probé, que fueron bastantes cosas... Tenían un menu por 10 euros que está muy bien. El trato de la chica que nos atendió fue excelente.

Pros: Apto para celíacos, mucha variedad

Cons: Comida ya preparada expuesta

ok

When here for lunch and we were the only ones in the place. There are lots of options. I had a tortilla which was reheated in the microwave and a small side salad.
We also chose the rice and eggplant dish which had a bit too much oil for my liking but still edible. The food available is on display in a counter and is then reheated e.g spaghetti and “meat”balls, eggplant dish. Ok lunch stop, would go elsewhere in town for better dinner options.

Pros: all vegan

Cons: food reheated in microwave, slightly too much oil

Really cozy and friendly place

Like a deli you can choose 4 different type of foods from the many alternatives presented at the counter. We were there 3 times in our 1 week visit to Granada. Really tasty and good food. Highly recommended! The owner/staff was super friendly and helpful. Healthy food!

Meh

I've now been to El Piano in Granada and in York, and I'm afraid I found them both disappointing. We went to the Granada restaurant on a weekday evening, something like 8pm. The food was pretty underwhelming, and reheated in a microwave (only partly in the case of my meal). Healthy though, loads of veg, and definitely all 100% vegan. I'd probably go back for a quick lunch, but for dinner there are much better options in Granada.

Pros: Friendly staff, Healthy

Cons: Microwave-reheated, Lacks atmosphere

Best Restaurant in town

I lived some years in Granada, and that is the best vegan restaurant. The owner is super nice, and from time to time you can listen to a friend of the house playing on the piano. The food is awesome, also the tapas. best tapas are the mushrooms! ask for "Uvas" instead of icecube at your drink if she have some frozen one you will be amazed, try them at best combined with an organic beer. Really miss that place.

Pros: Best food , huge variety, nice ambience

Cons: a bit more expensive than other restaurants

Décevant

Restaurant charmant mais service très lent. Les plats manquent de saveur et arrivent sans accompagnements. Très déçu par rapport à la bonne note obtenue, mon impression est totalement opposée. Je ne le recommande pas.

À savoir que comme son nom l'indique, un pianiste joue durant le service. Ne pas hésiter à demander une table éloignée sous peine d'avoir du mal à converser durant le repas.

Cons: Trop cher, Plats sans saveur , Service lent

Dissapointing

El Piano is a GF vegan restaurant located in El Realejo. We had lunch there last week and we were a little bit dissapointed.

We ordered two lunch menus and we found all the dishes to be a bit bland. We had the onion quiche, which was too sweet, the veg dhal, a salad and the tabouleh (made with millet which was also a bit undercooked).

The staff was really friendly and speaks english but I wouldn't go back to El Piano.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Bland food

Tasty

We enjoyed our lunch at El Piano today. The server was friendly and helpful and she suggested some great choices. We had the hummus and fritters. I enjoyed the Zucchini Pasta dish and my husband loved the burger. We would definitely visit again.

Not expensive but very poor selection. Deceived

The place is nice, but the service is slow, they had nothing to serve, the food was not tasteful, a bit deceiving for the high score it has. I wouldn t recommend it.

Pros: Price

Cons: They had nothing to serve, just hummus and dahl...

Good food for a good price

When we arrived, the waitress kindly explained to us the menu options etc. We chose the hummus as a starter, the lentil dahl and veggie burger as main and also the quiche. The hummus and dahl were delicious, I didn't really liked the veggie burger but my boyfriend loved it so i guess it's not that bad :) the quiche was decent. In total we paid 17 euros for a quick and tasty lunch! I would recommend because of all the choices there were.

Pros: cheap, fast, friendly

Muy bueno

Quería probar varias cosas y por suerte tienen un plato en forma de barquito para el que puedes elegir tres platos del menú a modo de degustación. Probé las albóndigas, lentejas y el chili. Todo estaba riquísimo y a buen precio (6,25€ creo). El servicio excelente, la chica nos atendió y me dio recomendaciones. Definitivamente volveré.

Pros: Comida, Servicio, Precio

tasty food

They know how to prepare proper and tasty vegan food here. And there is quite some choice as well. So I was very happy I found this place! Unfortunately, the service was extremely poor and seems that this place is totally understaffed. If you are not asking when they will bring your food, you might be waiting for 2 hours!

Must visit in Granada!

I arrived in Granada quite hungry on a Sunday afternoon and this was one of the few places which was still open (not making siesta) and would serve me some vegan food. I was not expecting too much but was more than pleasantly surprised: They had a huge selection of deliciously looking meals, including salads, veggie side dishes and quiches and hamburgers.

I took their version of a tortilla de patatas which replaced the egg in the traditional recipe with a dough from chickpea flour and tasted absolutely amazing. The salad and veggies were very good as well and for less than 10 EUR this was a real bargain given the quality of the food and the size of the portion. Plus, the staff was outstandingly friendly.

Make sure to go here while in Granada, you will not regret it!

Pros: Great choice of tasy food, everything is vegan, very friendly staff

Nice place, good food

Reception and setting:
The restaurant had just opened, so we had all the peace and quiet we needed after three days of getting closed in by processions from the semana santa. We got a friendly introduction to the plates of which to choose (I would have take them all if I could've).
What we had:
We both took the menu, one with drink (10.95) and one without (9.90) because the drinks linked to the menu didn't contain the one my gf wanted. For starters we had gazpacho and some tapas with our drink. For main she had the rice-dish and asparragus-salad, I had the chilli and Bangkok salad. We asked a side of the onion-quiche because it looked ideal to share.
What we paid:
We came out on 26,30 euro, which makes this restaurant very reasonably priced in our opinion.
Some thoughts:
Niceness, decent dishes, friendly service and room for a lot of people. There was barely anyone, but as the day was sneaking into noon, the restaurant had just opened. Maybe a small minus on the toilets (male toilet had no seat :p ) but that's a side-thought

Some explanation:
On our trip through Sevilla, Córdoba and Granada my girlfriend and I went to this restaurant, so the rating should be taken in comparison to the others for a full overview. I've made a systematic overview, but don't take this too seriously, as my opinion could even conflict with my gf's. Mind that the bill of this review needs to be split in two.

Pros: Nice food, well balanced, Decent portions, Well-priced

Buen restaurante si buscas comida sana y casera

Pedimos un menú de dos platos y bebida y todas las opciones que tenían eran 100% naturales y cocinadas allí. Se nota que todos los platos son muy naturales y que nada lleva azúcares añadidos.
Es una buena opción para probar tapas veganas, pero olvídate si buscas una imitación de la comida no vegana-vegetariana.

Pros: Comida natural, Amplia variedad, Buena decoración

Cons: Precio medio-alto, No opciones con azúcar

Excelente lugar

La atención fue increíble, mis gracias s Luisa que nos atendió muy bien y participó a hacer una pequeña sorpresa a mi novio para su cumpleaños.
Gran elección de platos y postres veganos, me gustó particularmente la exquisita ensalada de espinaca-naranja-pimentón, la tortilla de patatas y las bebidas propuestas (té de menta y chocolate, zumo de jenjibre con espinacas)
El lugar es lindo, y tuvimos la suerte de cenar con la música muy agradable de un pianista que viene de vez en cuando.
Mil gracias!
