happy to support vegan restaurants - Edit
The food and service were both good but just felt the place needed a bit of tlc. The seats were uncomfortable but with that's being said it's 100% vegan so will definitely be going again to show support ?

thanks for your great report.
We try hard to give not just good and 100% vegan and cruelty free food, but also create good atmosphere and that people feel comfortable.
Thanks for the support as well, it means a lot.

Bad service - Edit
This is the first time I am ever going to write a 'bad' review for a vegan place.
We walked to The V Factor on Saturday just after midday. There was no one in, but we sat down and waited. Nothing. So we found some menus, decided what we wanted and waited. Nothing. I walked towards the kitchen, knocked and then a lady emerged, whom I asked about menu del dia. She did not seem very happy, only told me (in Spanish) that it is only served from 13.00. My Spanish is not perfect, so I just thanked her and she returned back to the kicthen without asking us if we would like to order anything else. So we ledt and went to the other vegan place -> El Veganito Del Charco, where we have had amazing experience.
We wanted to give the V Factor a chance, but somehow.... :(
Cons: Service

Very hip food in suprising location ??? - Edit
You have to visit this place if you are in Arrecife. The V Factor makes Arrecife a better place. Three wonderful vegans are running this restaurant. We loved the decorations and the design of the menu. And the delicious food, for 10€ you are in vegan paradise. Vegan food off the beaten track. Highly recommended!!!
Pros: Organic Food, Menü 10€, Location
Cons: no

We both got the burger, 1 milkshake, 1 sparkling water, 1 cappuccino & 2 orders of chocolate pancakes for less than €35 ?

Delicious cheap vegan food - Edit
I would have eaten here every day of my holiday if I'd not been staying at the other side of the island. I had the falafel burger which was delicious and my meat eating friend loved her hotdog. I also had giant piece of chocolate cake which made my day. The staff, especially the man who served us, were lovely and it was just a nice, relaxed, quirky café. I'd recommend it for any vegan visiting Lanzarote.
Pros: Cheap, Friendly staff, Great selection of food

A Delightful and Welcoming Place - Edit
My wife and I found this colourful cafe through Happy Cow and we're delighted with the food and the welcome we received. We had a three course lunch which was very tasty and enjoyable followed by coffee and all at a very reasonable price. Thanks you - we will be visiting again!

Little slice of heaven - Edit
Amazing cafe which is easy to find and located near a beautiful beach. After struggling to find food in Lanzarote. This was a little slice of heaven! The coffee and chocolate cake were amazing and satisfied the need for cake! The staff are really friendly and helped us find directions and accommodated all our dietary needs. They speak fluent english and also have an english menu so ordering was really easy. If we were staying closer I would have definitely been there everyday! They also change their menu slightly everyday too to keep it interesting.
Pros: Amazing food, Friendly staff, Good vibe
Cons: None

Tasty sandwiches and burger type food - Edit
Lovely food, mainly sandwich/wraps/burgers with interesting filling variety. There was an a selection of incredible fresh juices with the quirky option to top it yourself- I added chia seeds and cacao to my oat milk banana milkshake for example. Service was fast and friendly. The place itself was very 'hip' and reminded me of something that would fit in well in Berlin- the decor was very unique and urban chic. The prices were very reasonable considering how tasty and filling the food was. All in all, it does itself justice being the only vegan restaurant in Lanzarote!
Pros: friendly staff, cheap, close to Gran Hotel (central Arrecife)
Cons: opened at 8.30pm

the V factor 10 Feb 2016 - Dear lillymayg,
thank you for your great review! We are happy that you felt so "hip"; we work hard to make everyone feel relaxed and comfortable; that's why reviews like yours makes us ... happy.
The suggestion about opening or fitting in Berlin...made us think about it ;-)
Once again thanks, thanks.
Best regards,

Super Ambiente mit leckerem Essen - Edit
Wir waren gleich zweimal im VFactor beim Essen. Wir hatten Burger, Wraps einen Sub und das Tagesessen. Alles hat super geschmeckt und war frisch zubereitet. Auch die Auswahl der Kaffee war großartig. Wer hier in der Gegend ist sollte sollte unbedingt im Vfactor etwas essen.
Pros: Nette Wirtin, leckeres Essen, schönes Ambiente

Quirky vegan gem just off Arrecife seafront - Edit
We couldn't believe our luck to find this newly opened 100% vegan cafe a few streets back from the sea in Lanzarote's capital Arrecife (it was erroneously listed as being in Gran Canaria, but hopefully that'll be fixed by the time you read this so it shows up in all searches).
V Factor is a large cafe space with a central bar. It's quirkily decorated with newsprint on the walls and black paint for chalk graffiti. It even has a seating area just for dogs!
Like Arrecife itself, it's not set up for English tourists but rather caters for locals. The menu is in Spanish, but as it's all vegan you don't have to worry about any catastrophes - and the friendly staff helped us out on a few things.
Unlike some vegan eateries the emphasis is not on health necessarily, but on good fast food - there's beer on tap. All of their burgers, hotdogs etc are home made - and their seitan boccadillo is especially good. The range of dishes is expansive and includes breakfast, to a set lunch and ice cream and cakes. There's also a tasty range of salads. The coffees come in every shape and some are wonderfully decadent with whipped soya cream and hazelnut syrup.
Really hope this place is a success. Have been every day of our week long stay in Arrecife.
Pros: All vegan!, Great range of dishes, Quirky, friendly and relaxed
Cons: No English menu

the V factor 02 Feb 2016 - Dear Mr. Karswell,
thank you for your great review, it made the whole staff happy and proud at the V factor.
We are continuously looking for ways to improve, and as you very well mentioned, we already have the english menu (sorry about that! we were just starting).
We are really wordless; just we would like to thank you once more, and if you come by once again we will be here with new things and improved for sure.
Best regards,
the V factor team
