If you are not close by, don’t bother - Edit
My vegan hopes were high but sadly only few vegan options available, mostly vegetarian without option to leave the animal based stuff out. Ended up eating the same watercress soup and wrinkly potatoes with bread and mojo sauce that almost every other restaurant also serves. And got a banana for a dessert… Had lunch and took the same dishes to takeout for next morning because they told that breakfast for vegan would be really problematic. Atmosphere and service wasn’t anything special. Only positive things were that their version of the traditional local chickpea stew is vegan, all the other restaurants on the island have meat in it, and they have fried peppers (pimientos de padron).

Moderate spot - Edit
Not many vegan options. The potatoes with mojo were okay. Our waiter could have been friendlier. The atmosphere didn't really make us want to stay for a while.

Authentic, simple and good food - Edit
Best variety of vegan options in the region. We had the salat (without the goat cheese) that was excellent and very fresh with lots of vegetables and fruits, the chickpea stew which was basic but delicious and the watercress soup which was a little bit special but also nice. Be aware that the place can be pretty full.

Podría ser vegano - Edit
Restaurante con buenas instalaciones y buen parking, aunque los camareros atienden de regular manera. Podrían ser veganos, pero les da miedo.

Local food but few vegan options - Edit
What is great about the place it that it was very tasty and they serve traditional local dishes. It seems that the ingredients were from a garden behind the house. Unfortunately, there are only a few vegan options (potatoes, chickpea stew and another stew with “berros”) - so you end up missing your proteins😉The view was great as well, but in that neighborhood there is not much else apart from that restaurant.

Few vegan options but healthy and fresh - Edit
We went there at 2 pm and had to wait as the restaurant was full. It seems to be a popular lunch stop for guided hiking groups.
Read moreVegan options were limited to chickpea and vegetable soups and potatoes with sauce but I sometimes like solid healthy food.

This place is amazing. Not only is it vegetarian local food. But Ms. Efigenia is part of the history of the island. We felt as if we were eating at our grandmother's house. Super fast and friendly service.

Sehr ruhige Lange, leckeres Essen - Edit
Sehr schöne Lage, Mitte in den Bergen. Auf La Gomera gibt es nicht viele vegetarische/ vegane Restaurants.
Read moreCasa Efigenia ist eine Besuch wert. Die freundliche alte Gründerin hat mich beraten und mir auf spanisch viele vegane Optionen angeboten.
Der Verkauf von regionalen Produkten, die überwiegend vegan sind, ist ebenfalls erwähnenswert.
Das Abendessen war reichlich und schmackhaft.
Der süße Hauswein war besonders angenehm im Geschmack.

Expected more - Edit
I expected more from an all-vegetarian restaurant. It was bland and unexciting food such as bread, regular salad, hummus, and tomato sauce. The lemonade was good.

It's a fully vegetarian restaurant using local ingredients. They have few vegan options but menus are possible to be adjusted to vegan version. Both menus cost 10 € excluding the drink and it was delicious. It's a must stop when you are visiting La Gomera.

Comida canaria vegeterariana sabrosísima - Edit
Terraza acogedora, personal atento y amable. Comimos un menú que es la atracción principal del lugar, que consiste en ensalada, mojo rojo, escalón de gofio, y puchero o potaje de berros, y un licor muy rico, además de almogrote y flan de almendras, por lo que no comí postre, pero me quedé a gusto. Sorprendida por el sabor de la comida.
