Pura Vida Vegan Bar

Really a great place to eat. Nice owner . Food really tasty . We ordered a burger , croquettes and nachos . Everything delicious and inexpensive . We didn't try their pizza

¿Quién dijo que comer vegano era aburrido? Pura Vida casi convence a mis amigos no veganos ;)

Pura Vida is a vegan bar restaurant that serves pizza, burgers, and tapas. I got the nachos, which was a large helping of round tortilla chips piled high with seasoned soy meat, black beans, peppers, cilantro, and some bomb guacamole. This was unbelievably good :) I also got a slice of cake.

I Went to this place for dinner on my last night in Madrid. It was a little too loud, because it was a very small space and we got to sit on bar stools instead of real chairs because the room downstiara was reserved. I ordered the spicy pizza with vegan mozzarella, chorizo, bacon and soy bits for almost 15 euros, which I think was a is a little too excoencive, but understandable for a meal in a big city. The pizza itself tasted pretty good, but it wasn't spicy and they I barerly got any of the vegan meat toppings, I could've taken the margaritha and saved a couple of bucks. My friend got a burger which came along with some fries, this was a little more affordable and went for around 8€. Overall I really liked my pizza and my friend really liked the burger, if I'm coming back to Madrid I'm definitely returning.

This place is the perfect combination of a bar and a restaurant.
The food is amazing.
The place is a bit small, but I think you can't ask more space from a bar and it feels nice and cozy.

I went there with my friends and we shared a pizza, burger and nachos. They brought us some tapas while we waited though service was quite fast considering that the place was packed that day. Everything was really tasty and I liked the fact that they donate a percentage of every burger they sell to an animal rescue foundation. I also tried one of their cheesecakes and it was one of the best I've ever had. I found myself going back almost everyday while I was in Madrid and staff were always super nice and food consistently good. Definitely going back!

We ordered nachos and two pizzas. They told us everything was homemade but guacamole wasn't and nachos neither. Both pizzas were untasty. I wont't come back.

Brought a large group of meat eaters here and everyone enjoyed their meal. The prices are really fair as well.

I had a veggie pizza and it was so good. I also tried the burger with Serrano pepper and the cheesecake. I really liked them both. Yum.

Muy muy recomendable el Pura Vida Bar, las pizzas buenísimas y las croquetas exquisitas. Además, el trato del personal fue inmejorable y lo mejor..colaboran con diferentes asociaciones y Santuarios de animales. Volveré! ?

I readed a lot of good reviews and saw coll photos about Pura Vida and decided to go yesterday.
I ordered a Margarita Pizza with vegan bacon...look delicious..taste...disgusting. I don't know why, maybe the mix of spices, maybe the vegan cheese (worst i ever tried, really bad) or the bacon but I COULDN'T EAT THE PIZZA.
It's very expensive , 14 euros...i don't recommend this place.
Furthermore, i found few little insects jumping in my food...

im sad to say that this was really horrible. their 4 cheese pizza was the worst pizza i've ever had, and i've had a lot of pizza in my life. and €13 for disgusting pizza is too much. I had one slice, and then i got sick as soon as i got home. But to be fair, the guys working there was really nice and sad sorry for the bad pizza, so hopefully they'll make it better until next time. :)

Orain dela aste batxuk lokal honetara joan nintzen eta haien saltxitxa-ogitartekoa daztatu nuen, zoragarria zegoen. Zaporeduna oso gazia edo koipetsua egon barik. Bere bizkotxoa ere probatu nuen eta oso urtsua zegoen. Taberna begano gehienetan olio eta gatza gehiegi erabiltzen dute janarian, baina taberna honetan oso pozik atera nintzen. bar onetako janaria gluten gehiegi ez izateko kompromisua asko gustatu zitzaidan. Pertsonala oso atsegina da eta lekua oso erosoa.

A couple of weeks ago I went to this bar and ordered one of their hot dogs and it was really nice. It was very tasty and chewy without bein too oily or salty, which I find very often and vegan bars. I liked their compromise not to overdo gluten in their products. I had a chocolate spoon cake as well and It was very nice and juicy. The staff is very friendly and the place is very nicely decorated and welcoming.

When entering the place, we found yourselves in a nice and cosy, bar-like ambience. Since all tables were currently occupied, we were led downstairs to another bunch of tables. Unfortunately, the atmosphere felt a little colder (while the air definitely was much hotter). We decided to get a beer which was brought to us quickly and tasted great. We checked the menu and realised that the pizzas were quite pricey (11-15 Euros), so we went for the much cheaper burger platter. The patties were made of vegetables and covered with a slice of cheese, yet they could have been a little spicier. Combined with raw tomatoes and onions, the overall temperature of the food could have been better, too. However, the french fries were some of the best ones I'd had in a while, so I still consider the place without doubt as recommendable.

Marvelous croquettes with an amazing veganaise, also the wine and beer are superb, the pizza was ok though.

Nice little spot here. Our friends LOVE the croquetas. The service is lovely but it is not fast, as quick as they can be though! Id need to try more of the menu as the burger didnt blow me away but the other food looks great

He ido ya unas cuantas veces al Pura Vida y la verdad que todas he salido muy contenta (y llenísima).
La primera vez que fui estuve con unxs amigxs de picoteo: pedimos las croquetas de la huerta, aritos de cebolla, pizza carbonara y dos trozos de tartas diferentes para compartir de postre.
Nos gustó todo mucho, sobretodo la pizza la cual repetí la segunda vez que fui a comer allí. Tuve que poner todos mis esfuerzos en terminarla porque no podía más y eso que iba con el estómago vacío. Así que me parecen más que recomendables para compartirlas, por si os da algo de reparo el precio (que en comparación con otras pizzas en restaurantes no están alejadas).
Me enteré la última vez que estuve (cuando por fin descubrí la parte de abajo) que el queso lo hacen todo ellos. Están muy buenos en las pizzas, aunque me pareció que el queso que le pusieron a los nachos se quedó más flojillo ya que no estaba fundido del todo y no se repartía por todos los nachos. Quizás una salsa de queso de patata o zanahoria podría quedarles mejor.
Por último, diré que lo que de momento más me ha gustado ha sido el sandwich 'La Tortura no es Cultura' no solo por el euro destinado a la fundación del mismo nombre, si no porque el seitán estaba muy sabroso y jugoso. Se nota también que es casero por como está marinado. Muy recomendable.
Me podrán contar con una clienta habitual ya que suelo salir mucho por la zona y mi plan es no parar hasta probar todas las pizzas, ¡si consigo resistir a la tentación de la carbonara!

Probamos un par de pizzas y unas croquetas y estaban muy ricas, con el aperitivo nos pusieron unos canapés de calabacín a la vinagreta que imitaban a los boquerones en vinagre y estaban genial.

Es un sitio ideal para ir con amigos a tomar algo después del rastro de modo informal , es normal que tengas que esperar si ves que el restaurante está a rebosar , hay que ser comprensivos , el dueño me dijo que acababan de abrir y estaban buscando más personal.

Las hamburguesas tienen nombres de Santuarios y si las pides ellos donan parte del dinero al Santuario,

Resumiendo , si vas en domingo a hora punta es normal que tengas que esperar un poco pero no es problema si has quedado con unos amigos y mientras charlais y os tomais unas cervecillas.

La comida es tipo fast food vegana 100% que no esta nada mal de vez en cuando poder zamparse una pizza!
