Fantastic restaurant - Edit
This restaurant is tiny but fabulous! The food is amazing, service great and staff lovely. The only issue is it's very popular so you need to make a reservation.

twice in 2 days! - Edit
I took my wife and my parents to Rayen Vagano and what a feast we had!
Read moreReservations are essential for dinner as the space is very cramped and they only are open on Saturday and Friday nights (they should open every night!).
There is a reason for why it is cramped as the food and the staff are 5 stars! My parents who are not the most avid fans that we are going vegan were absolutely blown away at the food and desserts and rolled ourselves out of there. Try everything!
Pros: Food, Drinks, Desert
Cons: Tight space, seating comfortability

Best vegan restaurant in Madrid - Edit
I've been many times since it opened and it has become my favourite! They are really concerned about using organic local fresh ingredients and I appreciate it.
Read moreTheir daily menu changes but it's normally shown in their website. They love trying new dishes. I love the raw noodles and the spinach lasagna.
Cakes are really tasty and there are gluten free options. The avocado and lemon raw cake is great.
Book a table, it's always busy.
Pros: Organic food, Nice staff

Very tasty - Edit
This is a cozy place in a quiet street on centric neighborhood. I had a great soup and noodles with seitan that were awesome. Everything is freshly made, including the bread, which is very good. There is a lot of emphasis on serving healthy food that tastes great. Staff is very friendly. I want to try it again!
Read morePros: Delicious, Healthy, Friendly staff
Cons: Not for large groups

Great starter, not so great main - Edit
Maybe we set a bar too high, but we expected better dishes.
Read moreThe set lunch meal consisted of starter (pumpkin soup/grapeleaf millet roll with green salad), main (beetroot rice and adzuki bean sauce/augergine lasagne) and cakes (mango cramble/banana cake). The pumpkin soup was disappointedly bland, definately the worst soup I tried in Madrid eateries (see VEGA, LovingHut). The other entree was truly delightful: fabulous wrap of grapeleaf filled with corianderseed spiced millet and avocado together with a little salad drizzled with great tamari based sauce. Would go there just for that wrap! So we were thrilled about mains, but unfortunately we could not describe the quality of the lasagne because it was heavily salted (barely edible) we managed to finish it only because we shared it. Beetroot rice was mild and sweet (from beets) but the portion was way to small in comparison to lasagne slice. Cakes were tasty, but we left not entirely satisfied. Price was almost 30 euros with coffee/2 person. Would try again hoping the food will be better next time.
Pros: organic, friendly staff
Cons: small portions, oversalted lasagne

Good organic vegan restaurant - Edit
The number of vegan restaurants in Madrid is not huge. Only for that they deserve some recognition. The place is cozy, the staff is friendly and the food is all organic, vegan and quite good. You can see that they love what they do and try to get better everyday. In my opinion their cooking just keeps improving and being more innovative as they grow older.
Read moreTheir menu of the day is always a good option at a reasonable price.
Pros: Good vegan food, Good menú del día

The best veg restaurant in Madrid - Edit
In the last couple of weeks I've been twice to El Rayén Vegano for lunch. Once on a weekday and the other time on the weekend. During the week they offer the menú del día (which changes daily) and it includes water (I usually order it infused with cardamom), an entree, a main dish and a dessert. And on weekends it's a la carta, a menu from where to pick. Every time I go there I leave feeling happy I went. The menú del día is always super tasty, elaborate and creative, plus the food is of great quality, you can definitely tell. The desserts are amazing! They keep changing and they never dissapoint. The last ones I've tried were an orange raw vegan cake, a coconut muffin and two different types of brownies, one with mocca on top. Delicious.
Read moreThe cons: it's on the expensive side, especially on weekends. And the portion size is not huge.
The rest is all good: the food is excellent, the owners and servers are really nice; although the place is small (better call before or else you may not find a free table), it's nicely decorated, unlike many other vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Madrid.
Pros: Tasty food, Great desserts, Completely vegan
Cons: It's not cheap

I would go back - Edit
I had a very tasty sandwich and a seasonal smoothie with melon as breakfast. Then, I asked for a piece of strawberry cake, but it was frozen, therefore, impossible to eat directly. It was expensive too (6.50€).
Read moreCons: frozen cake

So tasty - Edit
I've just been there one time yet but I can definitly recommend it! The food is absolutly awesome and the restaurant is very cute. Everything is organic and more or less healthy. One of the vegan restaurants who do not only offer burger and pizza. Nevertheless the burger was the best choice. ;-) You can also buy a few vegan basics there.

so good - Edit
This was the first place i went in Madrid, and i'm i went there! the staff was so lovely, and the atmosphere was very much don't to earth. I ordered a brunch. First i got my coffe and 3 pieces of bred with avocado - not enough avocado for 3 pieces - but close enough! then my juice arrived, and i could feel my body say thank you. then the scrable tofu and some potatoes arrived - it tasted very excellent - but the tofu was a little (and i mean a little) dry.
Read moreThe coffee was so good that i needed one more ;) all in all this is a very lovely place and i wasn't hungry when i left the place.
Pros: healfy and nice, Lovely staff, down to earth

Tasty vegan food and desserts, high organic quality, friendly and smiling staff. I went there many times during my stay in Madrid and I will surely come back!! Little room and often crowded, the best is to reserve.

Great! - Edit
I had a very pleasant mid-sized brunch and a most interesting chat with the waitress, who was apparently a co-owner as well. She emphasised their belief in transparency and that everything they use is certified organic. While the juice (plumb and papaya) could have been tastier, the toast was fine at the very least... the best thing food-wise was the tofu scramble though, where I especially appreciated the use of salvia.
Read moreAs the menu is varied and reportedly changes depending on the season, I just wish I could eat at Rayén more often...

Great menu - Edit
we went for lunch on the weekend and were impressed by the large and interesting menu. So rare as a vegan to go somewhere where you have to spend time debating over the many choices. Food and fresh juices were really good, so good we decided to fit in another visit before we left Madrid. Alas, didn't read the opening hours and turned up on a Tuesday, the one day they close. Staff spoke English and have menus in Spanish and English. If your visiting Madrid try and go on a weekend, there are street markets in the surrounding streets and it makes for a fun and lively atmosphere.
Read morePros: Great menu, lots of choices, well priced, helpful, friendly staff, comfy and welcoming ambience
Cons: closed on Tuesday's!

Small and cosy vegan restaurant!! - Edit
This restaurant is a small and cosy place!
Read moreThe staff is very friendly and we got all the informations we asked for about the food.
Everything is vegan of course but also organic and homemade; besides, they don't use microwave!
They offer a daily menu.
Food is delicious; we had a zucchini gazpacho, some ramen with cauliflower and a chocolate cake for dessert.
They also offer some "aromatised" water with the menu: cardamome or ginger (great idea btw!).
Recommanded place!!
Pros: Atmosphere, Fresh food, Price
Cons: Not enough choice on menu, Small place

Nice brunch - Edit
I love brunches, so when I saw that they offer one I was more than eager to try it out. They have the brunch (large), brunchito (medium), brunchito verde (small) option. I went (of course) for the large one (:
Read moreThe food tasted really good. I specially liked the olive spread and bread (I love bread and spreads, yum yum yum). The sizes of the portions where good, even tough I could have eaten more. On the other hand one of my friends couldn't finish one course because she was so full, so for her the sizes of the portions where more than enough.
They lose a star because we waited for a long time before we were attended (and that's only because I asked the staff if she could take our order/ and people that came after us being attended before) and the main course wasn't warm at all (Potatoes and tofu scrambeld "eggs". They don't use microwaves, but still I'd prefer warm food, there are other heating options). I'd expect a little more since it's not the cheapest option on the menu.
They have a written menu by now and in my opinion with many options (see comments at the beginning). Staff seemed to speak at least 3 languages: Spanish, English and Italian, therefore perfect for tourists.
Pros: olive spread, muesli, variety in brunch
Cons: waiting time to give order up, cold main course

Loved It - Edit
Located close to the Prado Museum and the Anton Martin metro stop this little restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable and you almost feel as though you're at a friends house for lunch. All of the food was vegan, delicious and well presented but the bread and the desserts are on another level, wow.
Read moreIt turns out our waitress was the owner, which I liked, and she spoke English in addition to Spanish which helped me quite a bit. She said she opened the restaurant because she likes to eat vegan and organic and was having trouble finding places to eat that met her standards. Bravo!

perfect little place - Edit
Love, love, love this place. Beautiful, fresh, healthy handmade food. Food can come out a little slowly, but can forgive them as everything is freshly prepared to order. Went twice for brunch, and once for the menu del dia, and couldn't fault it. The handmade bread is beautiful, and the rice milk coffee delicious. Can't reccommend enough, especially compared to some of the stodge we were served in other vegan places in Madrid.
