Light, airy, beautiful - Edit
Beautiful little café a stones throw from the train station. My partner and I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was fairly busy, however the service was quick and very friendly. The waiter spoke perfect English and made us feel very welcome and comfortable.
Read moreWe had the nachos to start, for a main I had the 'chicken' burger and my partner had the classic burger. Both came with chips or salad, personally I would have liked both, and we're tasty. Both were also reasonably priced (under €7 each)
Would definitely visit again if I was in the Benalmadena area 😊
Pros: Location , All vegan, Nice decor
Cons: Small menu , Chips or salad with the burgers

Not that good - Edit
Sadly I was disappointed by that restaurant. The fries were nearly tasteless and the vegan chicken I ordered was okay...
Read moreThe orange juice had a creamy, weird texture.
Also there are just vegan options and it isn't a fully vegan restaurant as I supposed.
Maybe I didn't pick their best dish and I should try something else as many people review it as a nice place.
Pros: The staff was friendly, It is a nice place, It isn't too expensive
Cons: Didn't taste too good.

saving the best for last - Edit
After taking the chairlift in Benalmadina, we headed over to Nigella Bistro for one of our last meals. We loved this place! The spaghetti with lentil "meat balls" and the quinoa salad were super tasty,...and the spicy fries with sauce were amazing!
Read moreMy only regret was that we were so full that we didn't have room for dessert. And by the looks of them, we missed something tasty (and big portions). As I told the friendly owner, if I lived in that town, I would "live" at that restaurant!
Pros: delicious, large portions, nicely varied menu

Deceptively tasteless - Edit
My partner and I went to this restaurant with great expectation, but was utterly disappointed. We have been to many vegan restaurants throughout Europe and this one is by far the least favourite... we did give feedback to the owner... let’s hope there is an improvement as it’s not a cheap place to eat.
Read morePros: Great waitress and very knowledgeable , Smoothies are lovely
Cons: Burger was extremely dry with no taste, Salad had no taste , Burgers were made ahead of time so not fresh

Incredible food and lovely owners - Edit
Already can't wait to go back to this place! The food was delicious, the owners very friendly and there were rescue kittens and a little dog there for us to fuss over! :) I had a chicken burger with mayo and lettuce and it was delicious.

Decepción total - Edit
Hemos estado este jueves comiendo allí porque habíamos visto muy buenas opiniones, pero al llegar y pedir la carta lo primero que nos dijo el personal es que está semana no estaba el cocinero y que había algunos platos que no se podían pedir. Hasta ahí, perfecto!! Pero pedimos un entrante de "dippers" con queso donde especifican que son unas minibaguettes con queso casero de zanahoria para dippear, pero lo que nos encontramos fueron unos piquitos de los baratos de supermercado con sopa de queso de zanahoria... Se podría haber tomado con cuchara, pero dippear imposible!!!!! Las miniquiches, que encima especifican en la carta que hay que esperar 15minutos para su elaboración, eran minitartaletas industriales de las que se compran en los super con algo de no-queso y algo más sin sabor y para nada cremoso... No entendimos lo de la espera de 15min. Pedimos también una hamburguesa de lentejas y un rollo de alubias y eso fue aceptable.
Read morePros: Personal muy agradable y atento. Buen precio
Cons: La comida no cubre las espectativas de la carta

My favorite vegan restaurant - Edit
Read moreThis is our favorite vegan restaurant. Very well located, in front of the train station, Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena. Small and cozy restaurant. Plentiful dishes, well served and very cheap. The salads are delicious. There is also pasta, burgers and much more. Desserts: the ice creams and the cakes are delish.
They have a small shops with vegan products, you can buy cheeses, sausages, vitamins, chocolates, seeds, etc.
You will be very well looked after by David and Gráinne.

Excellent - Try it, you won't be disappointed - Edit
We found this place on happy cow during our recent trip to Benalmadena, we loved it so much we went twice. The place is lovely and friendly. They're super accomdating and the menu . . . Oh my, there's just so much choice. Plenty for the kids to eat and a great selection of cocktails for the 'grown ups'. Its just a shame we were too full to fit a pudding in as they sounded awesome, next time . . . My friend couldn't belive it was all vegan 😊 It was all super delicious and pretty inexpensive.

Great Vegan Cafe - Edit
We found this place on happy cow app and when we got the menu we couldn’t believe everything was vegan there was such a huge amazing choice of a variety of different food. They have different burgers including vegan chicken/beef, wraps, sandwiches, salads, cheesy or chilli chips, quiches, vegan chicken nuggets, and lots of desserts too. They had a few things you could buy aswell in a little shop section so we bought some burgers and cheese. Can’t believe I haven’t been here sooner and can’t wait to go again and try new things. The man working there was very nice too and very accommodating to us. Everyone must go!!
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Very reasonably priced , Nice attractive cafe

Perfect for new vegetarian husband - Edit
This restaurant makes dishes just like a meateater would like, With meat substitutes. Perfect for my husband who is still getting used to changing into vegetarian food. The homemade soup with soda bread was to die for, my husband loved his chicken burger and my wrap was tasty. What makes the place is the service and great location (next to train station) and the dog! They also sell great stuff to take a way!

One of the Best! - Edit
Wow, this awesome restaurant became one of my favorite places to eat. All the food is delicious, the owners are so happy and welcoming so it made everything even better. We also fell in love with their dog Rex -- so adorable and funny. This is one of the best restaurants and I hope nothing but the best for them and their business!

Wonderful place - Edit
Excellent bistro cafe. I went twice whilst on a week's holiday and the owner was really friendly and knowledgeable. I had the superfood salad on my first visit which was tasty, filling and under five euros. On my second visit we had a taster plate which was very filling and a little bit of everything. The iced tea is lovely with orange pieces in it. If you are visiting for the day or week, call here as it's more or less next to the station.

Fantastic meals - Edit
So many different meals/snacks it was hard to pick - not used to having so much choice. In the end we tried 2 of the burgers which were both delicious both served with a lovely salad. Also took some coleslaw away with us in a tub to eat at home. Some unusual drinks on the menu too - I tried the mulled apple drink which was delicious. Owner very friendly and keen to talk about the menu and vegan food.

Affordable, delicious food - Edit
I really enjoyed visiting Nigella Bistro after heading up the mountain on the Telerifico gondola. The place was quite busy, but I found a seat and enjoyed the bean wrap with salad and yummy fries. The bean wrap had a wonderful tangy salsa. I was also very happy with the selection of products available in the shop and went home with some. It's located right near the Benalmadena station on the C-1 line. I very much recommend it!
