Healthy and tasty

If you are looking for a place that serves healthy and tasty food this is the one. We had a menu of day were you can pick from three options. We picked option A and had a carrot soup, a salad, a main plate and a desert. This was served also with some rye bread and some fruit tea. The service was friendly and fast. Definitely will be returning. Wish we had found out about this place sooner.

We returned the day after and he option B, the macrobiotic plate. The menu of the day changes every day. Plenty of tasty food. There’s also a shop next door that sells many vegan items. Plus they even hold various classes.

Average

I went to here on a Saturday for lunch in April 2023. I went here because they offer a meal of the day on weekends as well as Monday through Friday. They currently have a meal of the day for €17.50 and €20.50. The 20.50 just comes with a few more items on the plate. I found the food to be average overall. My meal came with a small salad, which was OK, cream of broccoli soup, which was good, but the main plate was almost devoid of flavor. I got lentils, mixed vegetables and brown rice. The lentils had almost no seasoning, and basically the plate was forgettable. It also came with a dessert and there was a choice of seven items. I got the carrot cake but there again it just wasn’t good at all. Overall considering the price and the flavors I would give the place three stars. Once was enough for me.

Pros: Meal of the day available on weekends

Cons: Food not flavorful enough, Prices are too high for what I was served

Seems you went for the macrobiotic option B. We went with option A which was still vegan and very tasty. Definitely try them again if you are still in Madrid and go for the option A.

Buen sitio, aunque algo caro para lo que es

Es bastante caro, el sabor podría mejorarse pero es un lugar saludable y que hay que probar.

Awesome WFPB food

We loved the food, so unsophisticated and full of legumes, grains and vegetables, no mock-meats whatsoever, fantastic! They serve a menu of the day on the weekends as well, consisting of a combo with several specialities. Some may contain dairy (only one when we ate here), which are properly labelled. Also the staff is willing to accomodate, so they'll be happy to replace it for a vegan one, just ask.

Pros: tasty unsophisticated vegan WFPB dishes, super nice accommodating staff

Small Menu but Good

You will have to speak Spanish if you eat here. Their menu is small, but the food is quite good. A nice quick bite to eat, and it feels healthy.

It’s ok

Food was ok but would’ve liked if the portions were bigger and they were good but nothing too especial.
Tables were very dirty and didn’t clean them even if we are in covid times

Cons: A bit dirty, Ok food

Awesome spot for unique food!

We went here as a last resort because a lot of places close for siesta. However, we were very happy that we went! The food is definitely unique and has an asian/spanish flair. We got the full vegan meal #1 which was soup, salad, rice, veggie stew, croquette with what I think was a sweet potato sauce, it was delicious and we plan to go back!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Get #1, its very good and unique, Fast service, friendly staff

Almost macrobiotic

Probably new staff. The aTaiwan ladies known better what are they offering rather than the southamerican former staff.
They offer 4 different platters being one vegetarian (may be vegan) one macro-vegan, another macro-depurative and a degustation platter.

The macro-depurative should be adapted to individual health conditions since they are still incorporating some extreme products (standard bread rather than germinated bread; water, some extreme dessert options, or some extreme ingredients like todays spinachs) or wrong proportions (30% wholegrain rice rather than the promised 60%). Please let the staff know, they are willing to help.

Probably most of ingredients are organic produced.

Pros: Nice abd helping staff, Sometimes well designed platters, Not so expensive

Cons: May feel hungry , Lack of deep macrobiotic cooking principles

Macrobiotic healthy food

They often offer a 2 for 1 deal on their website which I feel is a good deal. I generally don’t opt for the vegan desserts as they are usually dry and/ or burnt. I would find it expensive if there wasn’t the 2 for 1. They have an amazing health shop next door which I could not rate more highly.

balance: cost/quality

The food was good even though the base of my carrot cake was burned and I really have to remove it.
Except this the food was good and the portion big enough. Included in the menu: salad; soup; the main dish was divided in three (carbohydrates, proteins and veggies); dessert; and tea/infusion.

Pros: many vegan options, good price

Cons: the service was kind but due to national holidays

Not very good taste

We ordered some take-away food and we were disappointed. Bland and tough cheese in the quesadilla and the carrot cake was not even sweet, too spicy and dry. The burger and the salad, however, were nice and we enjoyed the dressings.

Good food, not so good service

The food was delicious, the degustation menu was really worth it, for 18.90€ and with a salad and a soup.

Pros: The food was delicious

Cons: service was not good

Tasty food

We found this place really affordable and were pleased with the 3-course daily menu.
The opening hours are limited to a few hours per dau so the lunch must be carefully planned (especially if you are a tourist). This schedule seems to be a "trend" for most of the restaurants (vegetarian) all over Spain and Portugal.

Pros: Good location for tourists, Affordable prices

Cons: A bit crowded during lunch-time

healthy.

Food is macrobiotic, eco and balanced but it really does not taste good. But staff is nice. I dont recommend for beginners vegans becuase this might disencourage them.

El mejor de la zona en muchos aspectos.

Muy recomendable. A pesar de ser fin de semana el menú era muy económico. Los platos estaban bien racionados y la comida estaba muy buena. Apenas nos hicieron esperar y probamos cosas que no conociamos. El trato muy agradable, gente atenta y amable.

Pros: Descubrir nuevos platos, Muy buen precio en relación a la calidad y cantida, Trato agradable

Healthy and good

La Biotika offers lunch menus which are well constructed in terms of vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates. You have a few options, including vegan ones. It's inexpensive, and the service is amazingly quick. Although everything is good, there's nothing to write home about (and I would cook the vegetables for less time, personally), but it's certainly one of the best option to eat healthy and quickly: no veggie burguers, no sandwiches, no mock meat. It's good and healty vegetable food!!!

Pros: Healthy, Quick service

Vegetarian Macrobiotic, mostly Vegan

Always open, offers macrobiotic vegetarian cuisine, mostly vegan (only exception are some diary deserts).
Tends to promote the fix price daily menu, tasty and healty. Also available à la carte selection, more expensive.
The atmosphere and the cold behaviour of the waiters do not make you feel very comfortable.

Pros: Always open, Healty, Tasty

Cons: Uncomfortable atmosphere

Great food

So glad I found this restaurant with my Happy Cow app. They offer a menu of the day with four different course options, from vegetarian to macrobiotic. The soup was great and so was the main course, but the dessert was exceptional. All for 15 euros.

Kind staff and peaceful place

It's inexpensive and the best of the menu are the desserts. The staff is very kind and it's a very peaceful place, which is good if you've been sightseeing all day.

Good Spot

I personally enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. My partner found it a little bit "worthy' I.e. eating Vegan or Veggie or Macro should never have the feeling of being a sacrifice - if being a Vegan was difficult, I certainly wouldn't be one! On the whole delighted to have found this little gem - and in one of Madrid's coolest Barrios - las Letras
