Amazing flavours - Edit
As others have said, the wait staff don’t speak English so you’ll have to brush up on your Spanish (not that anyone should have to speak English to people in Spain!). They are very patient and friendly though and have an English menu available.
Read moreWe did find the menu a little confusing as it refers to things on a board which we could not see anywhere. However one of the staff started writing on the board shortly after this so I think it was just bad timing. We ordered before this though so I went for a sandwich and my boyfriend a burger.
I wasn’t sure about the size of the sandwich (the waiter said it was small but I wasn’t sure how small) and when it came it was pretty tiny but the taste was incredible. I realised I’d accidentally ordered off the breakfast menu after it had ended so it was nice of the staff to make it for me. It had a number of things in it included baked aubergine and smoked vegan cheese. Although it was small it was probably one of the best sandwiches I’d ever had due to the incredible flavours. My boyfriend’s burger came with crisps on the side and was equally flavourful.
I was glad my sandwich was small though as it meant I had enough room for dessert. We shared two pieces of cheesecake one which was bounty flavoured (coconut) and one which was chocolate flavoured. Again these were really delicious!
I’d highly recommend visiting this restaurant as the food is so delicious. They offer a breakfast menu and then a lunch menu where you can get a few courses. I saw someone else having the lunch menu and it looked really good. All in all my sandwich, cheesecake and drink were around €10 which is great value.

Authentisch Spanisch Vegan - Edit
Wir hatten die Croquetas & Tequeños als Vorspeise, sowie Calamari & Tacos jeweils als Hauptspeise. Alles war geschmacklich sehr gut. Beim Hauptgericht waren die Tacos am besten.

OMG, so good!! - Edit
Glad we found this place on our port stop in Tenerife. We tried to find another place at the New African Woman Market, but no luck. Anyway, we stopped in for lunch and were offered the breakfast menu. We inquired about lunch and got a clipboard with the lunch menu. The Cheese Platter is NOT on the printed menu, but listed on the website.
Read moreWe ordered started with the Cheese Platter, which was delicious! Three of the cheeses tasted very similar and had the consistency of a soft caramel chew, but another was a dead ringer for Brie. Another, which I think is sold as the Roquefort, tasted familiar, but I could place it, and there was a soft spread, which we first thought was some sort of hummus. It had a taste reminiscent of Taki's. All were super tasty, and it was a LOT!
Next came the gnocchi, which, again, was a LOT!! The gnocchi were huge! Each were about the size of a "big-ass" grape and they were super soft, reminiscent of a mochi texture. The pesto was mild, but definitely basil-y. We were stuffed after those two dishes, but we had ordered the tacos, also. There were two tacos, piled high, but again, super tasty.
I would definitely return and try other items on the menu. Would def order the cheese platter again, too! Friendly and helpful staff. Check it out!
Pros: Tasty food, Friendly staff

The menu of the week is a great deal - Edit
I had the menu of the week which was a very delicious pumpkin soup and salty pancakes. Unfortunately they didn't have the menu of the week in english and the waitress was also not eager to speak in english with us but we managed.
Read moreThe prices were quite good: 13-14€ for the menu of the week (soup and pancakes) and a small bottle of water

Menú bastante bueno - Edit
Nos pedimos un menú para comer que estaba bastante bien tanto de sabor como de precio. No le voy a quitar las cinco estrellas porque todo tiene algo malo, en este caso la carta era un poco breve, pero es verdad que estaba muy rico. El baño además adaptado y limpio.

Nice for lunch - Edit
A good variety of food options here. Nicely presented and intersting flavours. The "mushroom pie" was a vegan quiche and probably the best thing we had. Starters were a bit greasy as deep fried. Small but nice to have some outside tables on a quiet pedestrianised street.
Read morePros: Wide range , Al fresco dining, Nice beer
Cons: A bit on expensive side, Popcorn cauliflower too greasy, Needs higher protein options

Good food indeed, but disappointed due to high expectations - Edit
I was really looking forward to go here. After I booked my stay in Tenerife I started looking up vegan restaurants and had a hard time finding one that looked a bit more high end/classy. Umami did look like it had a nice ambience and the menu looked good as well. And it's fully vegan! Since I was staying through Christmas and New Years I was hoping to dine at a somewhat fancy place and this seemed to fit the bill.
Read moreOpening hours were a bit unclear to me so I send them a message. Sadly it took about 3 months to get a response and by that time I was already home again. No biggie, I figured it out in time (they weren't open during the holidays).
They have two restaurants, both in the north of Tenerife. One in La Laguna and one in Santa Cruz.
I went to the one in Santa Cruz, and wanted to visit the one in La Laguna as well, but sadly had to change plans due to getting the local flu.
The restaurant in Santa Cruz looked nice, but not as fancy as I'd hoped. It is styled modernly and neutral. A lot of wood, which I like. The designs did however compromise on comfort. The wooden benches were not very comfortable to sit on. The locale in Santa Cruz was also very small. It was situated in a small and dark alley and only had 2 outside tables which were uncomfortably close to the street.
The food was okay though! I was really looking forward to trying out the Gnocchi dish but they sadly did not have the ingredients at that time so I had the Mac & Cheeze with mock chicken instead. Though the cheezesauce was great and the pasta cooked perfectly as well, the amount of mock chicken was out of balance. I would have loved a bit more mock chicken.
The cheesecake was good too! Nothing special but very tasty.
Though the cappuccino looked really nice, I thought it was too much, also the cup in which it is served did not feel comfortable to drink out of. These are ofcourse personal preferences, but the cappuccino just wasn't it for me. Another downside was the lack of decaffeinated coffee. I love coffee but I react rather strongly to caffeine, so I usually just take one caffeinated drink and then switch to decaf, which they didn't have.
The alternative they offered, which was probably off-menu, was a decaffeinated instant powder mixed with whipped warm milk to make a decaf cappuccino. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL! Stay clear of the Ikea decaf cappuccino! Not worth it.
Overall it's a fine place to eat, but due to me having high expectations I was disappointed.
Pros: Nice, modern ambience, Food is good, Fully vegan
Cons: No decaf cappuccino, Esthetic/design compromised on seating comfort

Restaurante vegano que vale la pena probar - Edit
Los menús han estado muy bien pensados las veces que hemos ido, bien decorados y muy ricos. La gran variedad de galletas que tienen y los postres también son increíbles. La única pega que pondría es que alguna vez nos han dado un trozo exageradamente pequeño de postre, para lo que cuesta.
