Clásico - Edit
El menú del día está genial, muy completo y a un precio muy económico. Vergel es un clásico de los vegetarianos de Madrid. Tienen postres caseros riquísimos y veganos!

Ojalá más sitios así - Edit
Went to the „menu“ of the weekend (you can choose 2 out of 6 dishes) and i hadnt eaten this well in a long time! All of the dishes but one were vegan.
Read moreHome-cooked delicious food that stands out from the typical vegan restaurant options :pizza, burgers and wraps.
We had fideua with ali oli, eggplant rolls filled with ,meat’ and veggies in bechamel sauce and roasted tofu with mashed potatoes in wine sauce.
Pros: Basically everything is vegan, Terrace!

Nice Dinner - Edit
This restaurant was very close to our hotel, so we went for dinner one evening at 20:30hrs, only to be turned away as they did not open until 21:00hrs. The restaurant is downstairs below the store, and we sat indoors. I believe you can sit outside on the terrace, but there is a charge for this. We had the set meal which includes bread, drink and dessert. The food was a little salty, but overall, quite tasty and very filling! Our server was really friendly and helpful - the menu was in Spanish but he was more than happy to translate for us. The shop upstairs had a good selection of veggie/vegan items, which we would buy to have picnic lunches outdoors.

Not a good choice for vegans - Edit
They serve a weekly menu which changes on Saturadays for 15,00€, or you can order à la carte. It's a good place for omnivores and vegetarians, but I wouldn't recommended it if you're a vegan. Most of the dishes have either dairy products (tons of cheese all over) or use egg as a binder (croquettes, veggie meatballs, etc.). The vegetarian dishes in the menu are marked with a "vegan choice" note. In my case that meant that a seitan cordon bleu surprisingly became plain sautéed seitan: no vegan cheese, no coat in vegan batter. I don't really think I'm coming back unless they change their cuisine
Read morePros: really nice location, helpful staff
Cons: vegetarian dishes poorly veganized, menu with only a vegan dessert

Definitely a bad choice - Edit
I won't come back: the quality of food was really really shabby. The palmito and avocado sauce salad didn't have palmitos nor avocado sauce, the paella with seaweed didn't have seaweed and the tofu-seitan brochette was just store bought tofu/seitan(without ANY seasoning) cutted and put on a stick!!Oh and vegan options are so poor!!!The service was bad, there were only two waiters for a lot of people and they were very stressed, not to say rude.
Read morePros: nothing
Cons: shabby quality of food, extremely poor vegan options, bad service

Really good menu - Edit
Cheap for an organic restaurant! The vegan options are not so varied, but they will "veganize" anything on the menu if you ask them to.
Read moreIt would be great if they updated the menu and added some more vegan options though.
Pros: Price, Organic food, Location
Cons: Poor vegan options

Veganos, abstenerse - Edit
Hacía tiempo que no comía aquí y su calidad y opciones veganas han empeorado. La comida es muy simple y falta de recursos. Lo único pasable: el postre.

never again - Edit
The service of "el vergel" was ominous. Were slow to respond and the waiters were rude. The only option was a vegan "risotto" without cheese. we found that it was a kind of supermarket frozen rice. They served us very little of that poor rice. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

cheap and good food - Edit
I haven't found another place where you get an organic vegetarian/vegan lunch for 8 Euro (evenings 10, weekend 12). Including a starter (don't know if they always serve it), two dishes, bread and water. I liked the food and it was always enough for me. Vegan dishes and options are marked and you have at least two of each dish. Only sad that that there is no vegan option for the "combined plate" with the biggest variety. Once I went there at 1pm when they opened and it took 45 minutes till we got served our food.

Good - Edit
This is a great place to visit as part of a day out involving Goya's tomb and a drink at Casa Mingo (both directly opposite El Vergel).
Read morePlenty of vegan options here, and the staff understood my terrible Spanish when I wasn't sure ("¿Es vegano?" "Si.") The food was pretty standard but pleasant, and it was the atmosphere and friendly service that made it a great experience for me.
The shop upstairs has vegan chorizo and other delights to add to your hotel's dubious continental breakfast.
Pros: Atmosphere and service, Location, Shop upstairs

Nice - Edit
Upstairs a veggie-shop, downstairs...where they cook all the goodies!The restaurant is orange themed: walls, decorations, paintings and even napkins. Candles at the tables with books to read if one likes. Relaxing. They offer daily menu for 10 euros which includes two main dishes, bread, drink and coffee or tea, quite a deal right?
Read morePros: relaxing, healthy
Cons: expensive if not daily menu

Ok place - Edit
I ate here in April 2011. The food, service and atmosphere was OK. With so many other wonderful raw/vegan/veg options in Madrid, I wouldn't particularly rush back here.

Microwave? - Edit
When you come in you are in this shop, which is open until 12 o`clock at night and has a good variety although it is very expenisive.
Read moreThe Restaurant is downstairs and was very impressive, since it is a big place and has a very nice light surrounding the room with stons that seem of salt that have light inside.
That is about all that was fascinating.
The food was not even lukewarm and after I told them that they must have put it in the microwave, cause it came back: one half almost cooking the other half cold like before.
They didn't flavor the dish very well and served the tofu plain white without any kind of flavouring. That is a no go for me and I have better eaten at home an not paid that much money for the menu, which is not cheap.
I cannot recommend this place and be cautious if you go therer. Maybe they just had a bad day.
Pros: big, nice light, shop above
Cons: not flavoured food, not cheap, microwave

Not bad - Edit
Ate here for lunch on a weekday and food wasn't bad but nothing special. Portions were a decent size and reasonably priced. Waitress was a little impatient at first as we struggled with our phrase book but was chattier later on. Neither of us were vegans but was noticeable that many dishes were suitable for vegans and clearly indicated by a 'v' symbol. Worth mentioning that you have to walk quite a way down the road if you're coming from the Principe Pio metro and not that well numbered - we thought it had closed down and almmost gave up at one point.
Read morePros: Good portions, OK food, lots of tables
Cons: Impatient staff

Great healthy, vegan food - Edit
A very popular and busy restaurant. We went on a Saturday afternoon and had to wait a while for a table. A nice place to relax after a walk in the Casa de Campo park. A large menu with vegan options clearly indicated. Fresh juices are nice. El Vergel is a short walk from Principe Pio train station, along the Paseo de Florida. If you are in the Casa de Campo, go to the Teleferico (cablecar) station (at the city end) and cross the bridge across the train lines, then turn left onto the Paseo de Florida.

Pros: Vegan options indicated, Lots of choice
Cons: Staff not very helpful
