Perfect - Edit
First time i went to Vega, i arrived 20 minutes before they opened for dinner, but while i waited i got a nice glass of beer. The staff was so nice and friendly. I was in Madrid by my self, so it was nice to talk with such lovely people. I ordered the burger, and i tell you, this was the most delicius burger i have ever had! - my stubburness tells me it wasn't better than my own - but it was.

Generally Really Tasty Food! - Edit
Nice atmosphere, fairly friendly staff. The place got really busy while we were there and we had to wait quite long. Although the wasabi peanuts were old, the beet humous was delicious. As a main: a delicious burger, and very nice (but salty) seitan.

Pros: Desert!!, Beet Humous, Decent Price
Cons: Staff Seemed Unfriendly, Peanuts Were Really Old

So-so - Edit
Well, I have mixed feelings about this place... The cold leek and potato soup was all right, and the focaccia with mushrooms and more was quite interesting.. the dessert, some coconut and cacao mousse, was average though. All in all, it was a fine lunch with very polite service...
Read moreMy objections have more to do with Vega´s philosophy, as they call for a "vegan revolution" on the Internet, yet they are apparently non-vegan themselves. More serious is the fact that they purport their ingredients to be organic, but according to a source who is "in the know" that is sadly not the case. They did have a few items on display which were suitably labeled as organic, but during my lunch a supplier showed up, and the boxes that were delivered were not organic as far as I could see. I didn´t feel more reassured after they, just a couple of months ago, get a question on their facebook with regard to a dish, whether all ingredients in it are organic. They answer with a straightforward yes, but at least one of them, hoisin sauce, is not even available as organic, at least to my knowledge. So yeah, to cut a long story short, if it seems too cheap to be true, then it's probably just not (entirely) true.

Firstable, we want to make clear to you and to anyone who come to eat at Vega that the products we use for our food are organic, although sometimes this is not possible to do it with certified products at 100%, as happen with the hoisin sauce. We use this sauce with the brochettes made with smoked tofu, vegetables, noodles and seaweed, and all this ingredients are certified organic.
Read moreWe are very serious about the products we use in our kitchen and, as far as we can, we only buy organic products. I would say that our food is 99% organic but a few exceptions.I invite you to come and check our products by yourself, seeing their origin. I am sure that it will be more accurate than a quick look to any boxes. We love facts and don´t like false beleifs. Of course we invite your friend who is “in the know” to come as well to check it out and whoever feel like checking our products. We have nothing to hide and a lot to show and share with others.
Second thing, it´s about our personal food options. The most important thing is that we are a vegan restaurant and this is a decision we made the 3 persons who set up Vega. But I don’t mind to tell you that one of this 3 has been strictly vegan for ages, other one is vegetarian and the other one is more flexible about what he eats. But we share the idea of taking responsibility about what we eat and to be aware about it. A vegan and organic restaurant was our choose. We are relaxed people and we don´t ask for any Vegan ID to our staff or clients. Anyway it is quite curious you take the time to find out about our personal food preferences.
We are not calling to any vegan revolution in internet, the revolution is already here. Our intention is to be part of it just setting up a good restaurant with good food, good service and good atmosphere. And it seems, by the public response, that we are doing it.

Complete menu with different options - Edit
I don't eat Soja nor Tofu do sometimes it's quite difficult. But here I could choose a pre-coarse, main dish and dessert with out Soja. And it was delicious. Maybe a bit expensive but it wouldn't have the same quality if it was cheaper. Do try the Jamaican water!

Awesome spot! - Edit
We ate here on our last night in Madrid. We were going to visit a raw food place, which turned out to be closed. This was the amazing alternative.
Read moreJust seconds off the Gran Via is this cozy place with excellent food. I had a amazing tomato garpazio with cashew pesto and rucola. Some veggie tapas with beetroot hummus. And as a main a scrumptious tofu/chickpea burger. The chocolate mousse was a joy aswell.
Staff was so nice and gave us some limoncello as a treat!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Pros: Tastebud explosions, Friendly English speaking staff, Very cozy and chill vibe
Cons: I cannot eat here everyday, Because it too far from Amsterdam :)

Cool place with delicious homemade food! - Edit
The place is very cosy and the food delicious!
Read moreYou can go there to have some tapas and a fresh juice or an organic/vegan beer.
As a main dish I tried the "kebab" which was made with homemde seitan and delicious Frech fries!
They also offer a few desserts; the chocolate mousse is heaven!
The atmospheres is very relaxed and the staff friendly!
Be aware that it quickly gets crowdy at night.
Pros: Location, Food, Staff
Cons: Price

Fantastic, fresh, unique vegan food - Edit
My fiancé and I visited for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon at 3pm and Vega was so busy! Great to see such a popular vegan restaurant! We waited at the bar for 10 minutes to then be seated in the cute window seat. We were recommended the day menu which was great as we could not choose from the a la carte menu because we wanted everything! The day menu was €6.90 and included a aperitif, main, dessert, bread and water. We ordered all the choices to try everything and the chili con carne was the stand out as well as both desserts. We have booked a table for dinner tomorrow, cannot wait to try the a la carte menu! A must visit in Madrid!

Great food experience, very friendly staff - Edit
Small vegan restaurant in Madrid centre. Very nice atmosphere, lively but not noisy. Good jazz music.
Read moreWe shared Verduras con chimichurri, which were delicious. We then had thre mains: Seitan kebab, Vegetable curry and Pinchos de tofu. All were very tasty and well prepared. The portions were big, so we could only had one dessert to share.
Delicious home made bread
Staff was extremely friendly
Prices were adequate
Overall very good place
Vega es un pequeño restaurante 100% vegano en el centro de Madrid. Tiene un ambiente muy acogedor, animado pero no ruidoso. La noche en que estuvimos había música jazz de fondo, muy agradable.
Éramos tres personas, compartimos primero Parrillada de verduras con chimichurri; estaban muy bien preparadas y eran muy sabrosas. Como platos principales pedimos Pinchos de tofu, Curry de Verduras y Kebab de seitán. Los tres platos eran muy buenos, con sabores perfectamente diferenciados. Sólo pudimos probar un postre, que estaba muy bueno, pero nos quedamos con ganas (pero no hambre!) de probar los demás, tenían muy buena pinta.
El pan lo hacen ellos y era excelente
Las personas que llevan el restaurante son simplemente encantadoras.
Muy bien de precio
En conjunto absolutamente recomendable.
Pros: Very good food, Good prices, Friendly staff, nice vibe

Delicious food & organic local wines. - Edit
Delicious vegan restaurant and super friendly atmosphere. "Croquetas", "lasagna" and the handmade bread are delicious. The organic beers & wines from Madrid are completely amazing. Just in the heart of Madrid it´s very easy to find the venue and there are a lot of things to do around this area. I want to give 10 starts to this cozy restaurant.

Pop in, if you are in town. - Edit
A great find. Easy to find and well worth a visit. I went at lunchtime and had some very tasty morsels from the dish of the day menu. It came to €6.50 or so which was reasonable. There's a table for solo diners so we can all mingle. Friendy place with great food and a central location. I will return next time Im back in town.m

delicious vegan tapas - Edit
We very much enjoyed the food here. They have a nice selection of tapas, salads, main dishes and desserts. The carpaccio tomato slices were amazing, as was the chocolate mousse. Wine and beer were great as well. The guys working here spoke good English and were nice enough to translate the menu for us.
Read moreI had to update this review because we ate here two more times during our stay in Madrid. The food was all amazing! This was one of our favorite restaurants during our week and a half trip in Spain.

Great find! - Edit
Vega is a new place nice and central in Madrid. Interior is very tasteful & welcoming and the staff very helpful & friendly to this non Spanish speaker! I had the mixed entrees, saitan and Tofu-Cheesecake for dessert, with a beer & a coffee all up €24 so fairly reasonable. The food was very good, especially the aubergine entree and the saitan with sweet potato & parsnip which was warming & filling. Definitely a recommendation for a good meal in a nice atmosphere.
