Schmackofatz

Wir hatten zwei Vorspeisen (Vegan Calamari & Prawns sowie Jackfruit Tacos). Die waren schon sehr lecker! Die Hauptspeisen waren ebenfalls sehr überzeugend (Kimchi No-Chicken sowie Seitan & Mushrooms Stack). Die Mengen waren ausreichend, aber geschmacklich so gut, dass wir ruhig mehr davon essen hätten können. Nur zu empfehlen!!

Incredible

The food here is so delicious, the people are so sweet, and the menu is quite big. Highly recommend, all pasta is homemade and comes quite quickly. Everything tastes so fresh and homemade and the menu is full of stuff that would be hard to make at home or replicate

Pros: Homemade pasta! Everything is so fresh!, Amazing service! (even blankets for outside), Cosy atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating

The menu sounds incredible, but the food didn't quite hit the mark

I had high expectations for this restaurant given the reviews. The menu is creative and the photos look very appealing but overall, the food was a little dull and they put a lot of (what I assume is) store-bought parmesan on top of both dishes we ordered which tastes really funky and overpowers the overall flavor.

The 4 cheese risotto didn't really taste like or have the texture of melted cheese, although it was creamy. The ravioli was good. The cheese plate was okay. The cheeses other than one lacked distinct flavors. I liked the Bailey's cocktail, but the coconut cream made it very thick and I think if they used half cream and half regular plant milk, the consistency would have been better

Overall good, but not amazing.

Excellent all round

Small, good central location. Quite extensive, popular but also interesting and diverse menu. Very friendly staff and nice relaxed atmosphere. Good selection of drinks. Busy so might be wise to reserve.

Pros: Taste of food, Staff and atmosphere, Location

Wonderful little vegan restaurant

I had been waiting to dine here since my last trip to Puerto when we couldn’t get a reservation. This time we got in - and it was as good, or better than I hoped. A goodmenu with many choices. We had a pink hummus starter and the cauliflower cheese. Followed by aubergine parmigiana and a ‘meatball’ spaghetti. All soooo tasty and well presented. If we’d had space in our tummies would have tried one of the delicious sounding desserts too. Comfortable and friendly place. If you’re in the area you should pay Manipura a visit.

Pros: Lots of choice , Delicious and good portion size, Prices reasonable

Cons: I don’t live nearby

nice, tasty, friendly

The menu includes burgers and handmade pasta dishes (gnocchi, spaghetti, tagliatelle). We opted for the purple gnocchi and the tagliatelle with mushrooms and truffles. Overall, both were delicious, but they lacked flavor (spices, salt). Unfortunately, the tagliatelle was a little oily and I couldn't taste much of the truffle. The Parmesan was very good. The food was served quickly. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is attractively decorated.

Delicious food and lovely staff

My omni partner and I ate here for dinner and had a wonderful meal. We shared olives to start, and I then had the purple gnocchi in nutty cream and the chocolate orange mousse and he had the radicchio and chorizo risotto and tiramiblu. We finished off with hot chocolates.

It was all freshly prepared, delicious, and served by friendly staff.

We will be back before we leave Tenerife.

Amazing food, best place around!

We visited twice in a 4 night stay in Puerto de la Cruz on our first & last night. We would of come more but it was only open Weds-Sunday!

There was so much choice & everything was so good.

Seitan mushroom stack, tempeh salad, soup, cheeseboard, hummus plate, black ravioli, cauliflower cheese, chocolate mousse. It was all incredible. We loved it - my husband said he didn't want the black ravioli dish to end!

Staff were very nice, especially a Dutch girl who served us both times.

If we ever come to Tenerife again will be back!

There are a lot of options to choose from. We had the tempeh salad, the chicken salad and the seitan mushroom stack. Everything was good but a little bland. The staff was really nice!

Better looking than tasting

Everything sounded great, it was hard to choose. And everything looked great, but then... Meh. Not bad obviously, but what I tried was bald. I ordered the saffron and mushrooms arancini (didn't taste the saffron or the mushrooms) and the pasta with meatballs, which was strange because the pasta was homemade but the meatballs were not.

Pros: Staff was very nice, Only vegan place in town open for dinners

Fantastic

100% plant based menu with a great selection. We had the cauliflower cheese and cheese platter starters, a classic burger, seitan stack, mushroom and truffle tagliatelle and (no)meatballs and polenta for mains and a tiramisblu and chocolate mousse to finish. Service and presentation was great and the food was all delicious

Pros: Great variety, Good drink options, 100% plant based

A great find

Had a lovely meal last night at Manipura and we fully intend to return. The menu was really varied and everything we had was tasty and beautifully presented. Stand out was the (cashew) cheese selection starter - heaven. The staff were incredibly friendly and the prices were very reasonable, highly recommended.

Fabulous

This place is very deserving of the hype. Great atmosphere, amazing choice, and delicious fresh food.
I had the cauliflower cheese to start which was creamy and flavourful. For the main I had the pumpkin ravioli recommended by our server, which was incredible, soft and perfectly seasoned. For desert I went for the panacotta which was lovely and sweet (could have eaten a few though!) The red wine served by the glass was also great and very drinkable.

Pros: Wide variety of options, Fresh delicious food, Friendly staff and atmosphere

Cheezus christ!

Honestly some of the best vegan food I've had in years. The cauliflower cheese was perfect - my first in over a decade and it's even better than I remember, and the Mushroom & Truffle Tagliatelle was to die for. Great selection of wines also, and the white was super tasty.
