Relaxing spot in Fuengirola

Had the menu del día which was great value. The carpaccio of courgette and beet with pesto was particularly welcome after a week of beige hotel food 😄
Sat outside because we could (it’s cold and raining at home!) but the interior is cozy and welcoming. Shame we’re not staying in Fuengirola or we’d definitely be back!

Pros: Good value, No rushing, relaxing meal, Lots of choice

Great Food, Great Service

Found this place from HappyCow and it is fantastic. Only a few mins walk away from the beach. We had the tapas and a drink. Service with a smile. Lovely lunch, highly recommend

Try the charcuterie board

This place was the best way to end a day at the beach. My wife and I ordered the charcuterie board and everything on it was fantastic, especially the different spreads (roasted red pepper hummus and some kind of jam). I ordered a kebab wrap and my wife ordered the nofish and nochips. Both were delicious. The potatoes on the side and the aoli that it comes with were fantastic, I will definitely be thinking about them for a long time.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

You MUST get the Tabla de Ivéricas as an appetizer. It's the best, cutest, tastiest vegan charcuterie ever. For my main dish, I got the NO Fish NO Chips, and that was also delicious. Highly recommend the homemade lemonade if you're looking for a refreshing drink to quench your thirst after a long day at the beach. Do yourself a favor, and visit here ASAP!

Pros: Vegan charcuterie!, Authentic food, but vegan, Wide selection of fun drinks

Vegano de hace 20 años

Llevo yendo a restaurantes veganos y vegetarianos 20 años y se ha evolucionado mucho al respecto. Sin embargo esto no ocurre en la Libélula. La comida no está mal pero con todos los productos nuevos que hay en el mercado, siguen muy anticuados.

Pros: Buen ambiente , Servicio amable

Cons: Anticuado en sus platos, Poca innovación en sus recetas, Sabores poco o nada conseguidos

Not the best, but good option for lunch

Some dishes are better than the others (some of us had the daily menu and others the burgers). The burrito was very nice, the couscous soup ok. Burger a bit dry. Wasn't a fan of the milk they put in the coffee. All in all still a good experience though. Nice staff.

Best desserts!

5 & 6 May 2023

This place was recommended by Fast Food Vegan.

Both my friend and I loved this place. The setting was quirky, spacious, the food tasty and well presented. The staff were friendly. We got a table quite close to the speaker which was loud, the staff were happy to lower it down for us.

I loved the amazing delicious desserts that I came here twice.

The benofee pie was banging and then the lemon meringue pie. They ran out of them on Saturday night, I was lucky to get the last piece of lemon mirange. I tried the chocolate which was nice too. Surprisingly they were all gluten free too!

We tried
Homemade lemonade and Homemade bissap both quite nice and refreshing though I requested for more agave in one of them. My friend also enjoyed fresh mint tea.

Musaka, Tempeh & Quineo stir fry, warm Thai spring roll and Nofish nochips.

Really like that they had alot of gluten free options and whole foods with that provided a balanced diet.

It was so kind of them to order a taxi for my friend and they have an English menu with other languages too.

I'd would come here again and this is the best cafe of all those we went to in the week we were in Malaga area.

Their opening times were also a lot more better than those in Malaga city.

Pros: 100% Vegan, Delicious food, Good vibes

Cons: Outside sign not clear, Loud music, Slightly pricy

Loved it!

This little vegan spot is so cute and I really enjoyed it here. The Zuccini fettuccine was so refreshing and delicious, a perfect dish to have to not get weighed down by the heat of Fuengirola. It was such a fresh and creative dish and I really enjoyed it and would order again if I were to return. I also got the freshly squeezed orange juice which was good, I like pulp in my juice but even I thought it was a lot- so if you aren’t a fan of pulp I wouldn’t recommend it. My mom ordered the chocolate cake which was very light and airy and she loved it! Service was great, cost was inexpensive, and the interior/atmosphere was super cute! Highly recommend.

Pros: Fresh food, Inexpensive

Cons: Small menu

Disappointed

Pretty disappointed by the food and drink. Cafe vibe was very laid-back and quite hippie-ish, with that mismatched style of decor from a few years ago.

My girlfriend has suggested we go as I was struggling to find vegan tapas elsewhere, but we ended up eating very little as the menu didn't appeal.

I ended up ordering a tapas of Ensalada Rusa, which was ok, like a potato salad with little bits of veg in it. I also went for a slice of carrot cake, which was disappointing, too wet and sticky, not enough spices used in the sponge and they used soy cream, which tasted of nothing (not even sweet), rather than using cream cheese or butter cream for the icing.

The drinks were also a bit of a miss, the lemonade had too much mint in it and hadn't been strained so there was a fair amount of mint flecks floating on the top. The Bissap was ok, but needed more flavour and the orange juice was fresh, but not great (or so I was told).

I can understand if the owners wanted to have a 'healthier' food offering, but our experience would suggest that they need to find a way to balance that with providing food that's more flavourful.
