Homecooking - no fast food

We visited this place twice. Gloria is an enthusiastic cook, everything is home made. It tastes very good and if she would use less oil it would be perfect.

Great food and great price

Don't let appearances fool you. This little vegan cafe is one of the best iv tasted on my travels. This isn't a vegan junk food place. This is literally nutritious food heaven. The queue should be out the door for this food. Please go visit and support.

Pros: Everything

Generous portions, friendly service

Gloria ran through the wide variety of dishes and offered a combination of three. I expected 3 'sample' sized portions on a plate. The first one, which I can best describe as a chilli bean pie, arrived filling a plate by itself and was lovely (I'm a sucker for shortcrust pastry). The next two, goulash and a sort of quinoa croquette, came together, filling another plate. I was so stuffed I had to take my dessert to go. There was only one other table occupied so I chatted with Gloria about local vegan issues - she's friendly and passionate. Well worth a visit.

Great Fresh Food😄

We visited for a late breakfast yesterday and had a great experience. The lady who served/ cooked our food was lovely! We both just had avocado and tomato on toast, but were asked if we were ok with how she would like to prepare the tomato (in garlic) which was really thoughtful! The bread was also lovely! Shame we had to leave today to not be able to try another meal there. Thanks! There’s also lots of vegan goodies in store so if you’re looking for snacks or things to make your own meals with while in Lanzarote, then this would be a good place to go.

Pros: All vegan, great price, freshly prepared, Lots of options, breakfast through to dinner , Would appeal to non veggies/ vegans too!

Cons: Everything is fresh, so it’s not that quick

Great little cafe!!

Visited Arrecife for the day whilst on holiday and found this little gem when looking for lunch. My parents nor sister are vegetarian or vegan however all were majorly impressed with the food!! On arriving, we were approached by the (presumed) owner, who began to tell us of the various different dishes of the day, and completely flummoxed, we asked to try a bit of everything because it all sounded amazing!! We happened to be the only customers at the time and the service was wonderful - such a lovely bunch of staff!!

Pros: Option to purchase particular vegan food items, El Veganito smoothie 😍, Warm-welcoming staff!!

Cons: No toilet facilities on site, Service was a little slow

Cons: None

Muay delicioso

The friendliest of welcomes. Lovely little restaurant with a good selection of all vegan options for meals in. Even a selection of foods to cook at home. Very patient with my awful Spanish. Such tasty food. I like the variety... something different on each visit. I look forward to returning.

Pros: Variety, Taste, Friendly service

Cons: It isn't in my home town

Friendly helpful owner and great food

We went to this restaurant several times during our holiday. We loved the fact that there was a glass counter with lots of different dishes on display. It made the ordering process much easier, to pick out items we liked the look of.

Saying that, the owner was extremely friendly and helpful, reciting the main ingredients that went into each dish. Her English translation was pretty good.
Again, this made it much easier to decide what to have - from the wide variety available.

It was also perfect for getting take-aways for dinner ( 3 items for 10 euros). The owner put it all carefully in sturdy Tupperware tubs, which we duly returned the next day.

Overall great food of excellent quality!

Pros: Glass cabinet display of food, Excellent quality food, Very friendly and helpful owner

Cons: None

low average food, nice service, variety of vegan goods

On our 1 day in Arrecife we stopped by this place to have lunch. The owner was very friendly. A menu in english was available.
Thr food however was low average. While some of it was premade and simply reheated other options like burgers might be freshly prepared (we did not have those, we had a plate with different salads and tofu that seemed to be simply microwaved, but tasted ok).
The fries were really bad, partly black, partly raw and partly cold (don't know how they were prepared).
The price is affordable. A huge plate with different salads and tofu, a plate of fries, bottle of water and a beer for around 14€.

Pros: completely vegan, huge variety of alternative products to take home, little library

Cons: partly microwaved food, low average taste, partly pre-prepared food

Great food

Food was good, saving grace in the area as the other vegan place was closed. Service was super slow so definitely go with your patience button on. Nice place though, definitely worth a visit, and if you speak Spanish you can chat to the lady working there for ages.

lovely vegan food

Everything on the menu is vegan and made to order. We had the chickn burger and the falafel, both of which were excellent.
The restaurant also has a good range of vegan foods (frozen, refrigerated and dried/packets) that you can buy separately.
Would 100% recommend this place if you're in Arrecife.

Pros: It's all vegan

Cons: none

Safely vegan, bit expensive for LZ

We asked for "one of each" and thus sampled 95% of the menu. All of which was alright, but not jaw-dropping. Decent food, a lot prepared from pre-made products that are also sold in the store, which I presume is one of the reasons why it was rather expensive. While a huge sandwich in the nearby Papa Miguel costs EUR2.5 and could be your whole dinner, here you'd pay about EUR10-13 .

Yummy health drinks too!

It's clearly a community cafe, with a library and a lot of vegan/pro-animal leaflets which is great! To save plastic local eaters rent Tupperware boxes from the owners to bring them back which is a great idea. The menu is constantly being worked on; when we visited they experimented with chocolate-raspberry muffins, of which we got a free sample. I hope it's now firmly on the menu as it was pretty great! ^_^

Pros: Wide menu, Some unique dishes and health drinks, Also a vegan shop

Cons: Quite expensive, Little English ;-)

unsure

I really wanted to like this place as it definitely looked the part! Little library upstairs, Peter Singer the lot!
I'm not sure if the owner misheard my order or what really happened but either way I ended up with the wrong sub and no chips. Service is just a little lack lustre. As a vegan though obviously it's hard to dislike a place with a fully plant based menu and passion behind it.

Pros: atmosphere , price , easy to find (opposite dinosaur skeleton)

Cons: service
