Lots of options

Plenty of vegan options to choose from. I had the nachos and it was a decent portion size. Staff were lovely. Bit pricy though.

Lots of options

There were lots of options. We had the nachos, which were pretty good. I really liked the falafel burger but the quesadilla did not taste the best. It had a lot of veggies in it that we didn’t ask for and weren’t on the menu. The drinks were delicious and the staff was lovely.

Lots of vegan options but could be better

I liked that the vegan options were clearly labeled and there were so many options. I had the quesadilla and it wasn’t fantastic - seemed like a cooked frozen veggie mix with their house made cheese sauce. I barely had any cheese in my quesadilla too. Maybe some of the other dishes are better but this didn’t stand out for me.

Good Food but pricey

I had a good quesadilla. Saidly it’s really made for tourist that’s why the prices are quite high. Nevertheless the staff was super friendly.

Tasty and fresh

This restaurant has a separate menu for vegetarians and vegans with plenty of options. The owner was super friendly and welcoming. The food was also yummy and decently priced in our opinion. All in all recommended!

A great, healthy meal!

We stopped in for dinner after a long day and were not disappointed! The food was all fresh, the portions huge, and they had really yummy smoothies as well. We had veggie burgers and the chifrijo vegano. The dessert, a vegan brownie with ice cream, was the only disappointment. It was more of a raw chocolate tart and the ice cream seemed old - there was a huge chunk of ice in the middle of it. Skip dessert and enjoy a great dinner!

Huge portions, super delicious

I wish we had come here before our last night. I would have come more than once. I made the mistake of ordering a salad and quesadillas and couldn’t even finish half. The portions were giant for the price.

Many vegan options

There is an apart vegetarian/vegan menu. Vegan options are available in every section of the menu and are clearly marked.
I had the vegan quesadilla. The presentation was very good. The portion as well. The vegan cheese was on a base of coconut butter. The taste of coconut had become a bit too strong for me, since I don’t expect this in a quesadilla dish.

Variety of vegan/ vegetarian options

There is a dedicated vegan / vegetarian menu with plenty options
We had the vegan burger (burger itself was delicious, fries could have been a bit crispier and the sauces were a bit dull - overall good though
And also the quesadillas (vegetarian )
Great sauces and plenty of food
The mango smoothie was super delicious

The quesadilla doesn’t appear to be marked vegan on the menu? It is vegetarian

Quality

Went yesterday for lunch and got the vegan burger which was made of chickpeas. I had them add onions and I asked for jalapeños but they didn’t have any so he recommended their house made hot sauce to go along with it. It was amazing and super super spicy. The burger was great and they gave several dipping sauces along with the hot sauce (not shown). I also got the vegan brownie which had make of the consistency of a rough mousse. It was ok and the passion fruit ice cream that went with it was a bit weird tasting and left a lingering weird taste in my mouth. That being said, the passion fruit smoothie was incredible.

Amazing - plenty to choose & delicious

The restaurant has 2 menus, one with meat and one for vegetarian/vegan food. They have plenty and it's delicious. The bread is amazing (with hummus and the burger buns). Super friendly staff.

Great Vegan Options

Great service and friendly staff! Had the Patacones to start, which were 10/10. Then had the Veggie Gallos which I thought was a bit bland.

Great vegan options, delicious food

Lots of vegan options and clearly marked on the menu. Highly recommend the falafel pita. Pita bread was fresh and so yummy. Hubs got vegan pasta dish. Very good but oily. We ordered a side of white rice to enjoy the oily sauce left over. Highly recommend The Green Spoon as there are no all vegan restaurants in this area.

Gute Auswahl an authentischen, veganisierten Gerichten

Es gibt zwei Karten und man wird gefragt, ob man sich vegan/vegetarisch ernährt. Gute Auswahl an typischen Gerichten, die entsprechend veganisiert sind. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, eventuell etwas mehr Würze.

Good menu

Good menu, I went for the salad which I regretted as it said it came with fresh vegetables, but wasn’t very filling and just a little grated carrot and cabbage with lettuce tomato and pineapple

Separate vegetarian/vegan menu

We had the chifrijo and burger from vegan menu, they were a bit bland but tasted ok. They presented us with the vegan menu first, so it looks like a big customer base of their.
Lovely staff, nice atmosphere, next to a very good vegetable fruit shop.
Looked the nicest of places we passed by and they definitely have an understanding of veganism.

Pros: Selection of food, Nice presentation , Separate clear menu

Cons: Not fully vegan, A little bland but the salsas were good

Excellent vegan food!

The vegan food options were clearly labelled and there was plenty to choose from. The portions are generous and everything was delicious. We would recommend the vegan burger, the tacos and the falafel pitta. The hummus was especially good. We were only in La Fortuna 2 days and we ate there twice it was so good. Also free WiFi.

Pros: Friendly staff, Clearly labelled menu, Great location
