Amazing Food! - Edit
We ended up visiting Vega several times on our trip to Madrid, not only because it was one of the few vegan places still open in August, but because the food was DELICIOUS! We tried several things from the menu and every single one surpassed our expectations. Would definitely visit again!

I visited VEGA twice in Madrid. The appetizers are amazing and probably sufficient to share between two people. The main dishes are delicious as well.

Vega = Vegan heaven - Edit
We had just a few days in Madrid, but visited Vega 3 times. The atmosphere is welcoming and bohemian. The food is fresh, inventive & heavenly. The service is friendly. There is no English menu, but the staff speak some English. With all the food being vegan and so good, you don't need to understand it!
Read moreIt is open every day and almost always busy. We first came on a Sunday evening for dinner and they were full, but the waitress managed to squeeze us in.
We had lunch, dinner and drinks with tapas on our three visits. We would highly recommend!
Pros: Great service, organic beer, bohemian atmosphere,
Cons: The walls are stone, which some people may prefer

great place - Edit
This place was very busy with locals when we arrived. The staff was responsive and accomodating, very friendly. This was our first meal in Spain. My boyfriend ordered two rounds of the mushroom croquettes? I think they were. It seemed like such a friendly neighborhood spot and we had such a nice meal. It was a little expensive but worth it to get a nice restaurant (instead of take-away) meal.

Unwelcoming - Edit
After reading all the good reviews, I was excited about this place. However, when I entered I just stood there waiting for several minutes for a server to acknowledge me. Eventually I just sat myself at an empty table but then one came by and told me it was reserved so would I mind sitting at the bar. I then waited another couple minutes for him to sit me at the bar. Then when I asked very simple a question about the menu, I told he'd be with me in a moment. After several more minutes of waiting I just walked out. Maybe the food's amazing (although the menu wasn't very big) but in my experience the service was terrible.

Enjoyed - great tasting - Edit
We came here for a meal in the evening. It was very busy and the atmosphere nice. We shared a mix of plates - some were better that others. The lasagne was nice but there wasn't very much of it so didn't seem very good value, we had some patatas asadas which were more filling, and then we shared a seitan dish which was really really good. I'd go back.
Read morePros: Tasty food, Good atmosphere, Staff helpful
Cons: Some dishes not good value, Quanitites were a bit small

elegant food, healthy potions, charming staff - Edit
The Chef is an artist. You'll see. It almost feels like the Servers are part owners. Best service we have received in Spain and we've been here 3 times now. The food will blow you away. Come hungry, try EVERYTHING and be sure to leave room for dessert. 6 stars!

6/5, incredible - Edit
Really great place. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff friendly (speak English as well as Spanish) and the atmosphere great. Note that the kitchen doesn't open until 8:30pm, at least on a Wednesday. All the food we tried was delicious, would recommend it all. At the standard vegan food joint price.

Lovely tapas! - Edit
Cute atmosphere, tasty food, and great service make this a lovely little cafe. I enjoyed the tomato soup (which was clearly braised and therefore so packed with flavour it made me wonder how to improve the one I cook at home!) and three of the starters. Unfortunately, two of the three I chose weren't available, so I had to have two I wasn't so keen on.
Read moreThe first was seaweed salad, which was unfortunately too seaweedy and lacking in balancing flavours, the roasted veg, which were ok but nothing special, and the almonds in smoked paprika oil, which was life-changing and which I could've eaten kilos of. So much yum.
There was also a great range of tea, coffee, juices, smoothies, and cocktails available, as well as tasty-looking desserts.
The staff were just lovely- very helpful, friendly, and kind. They seemed busy but we're still able to provide great service.
The only con was that, like so many places in Spain, the kitchen doesn't open til late (8.30pm), so I missed out on enjoying some of the delicious-sounding cooked food.
I found Vega easy to find, and it's just around the corner from a bustling little plaza and near some other great attractions.
Big bonus for being 100% cruelty free!
Pros: 100% vegan Spanish food, The mouthwatering almonds in smoked paprika oil, Good value for money and lovely staff
Cons: Some food unavailable , Seaweed salad not particularly nice

Great Vegan Tapas! - Edit
Really enjoyed eating at this bar/restaurant place on a recent visit to Madrid. We went at around 10pm one night and it was busy and lively. Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful, and spoke great English. We ordered several tapas dishes - tomatoes in oil, potatoes, mushroom croquettes, beetroot hummus, cucumber & chilli, fresh bread - and it was truly delicious. We had a really relaxed evening, and at no point felt rushed, despite how busy the place was. The interior was very cool and the place had a great vibe. The price was medium. Would definitely recommend!

nice place for quick and inexpensive bite - Edit
VEGA is centrally set small place with nice food, quite cheap in set manner as they serve set lunches throughout the week. Portions are very modest but for some vegans seemed enough. We had little miso soup served in a capuccino cup, then tempeh skewers ( tempeh was too dry for our taste) with baked patato wedges (3 wedges) and bowl of dhal which we shared, and 1cm thin slice of banana bread for dessert. We payed under 20 euro with coffee. The place was very busy during lunch hours the longest wait was for the waiter to bring us a bill. As we have lots other places to try out so we had just one meal in VEGA.
Read morePros: good value, good vibe, friendly staff
Cons: small portions, dry tempeh

Friendly service....but a bit pricey - Edit
This takes a bit of looking to find because it is down a dimly lit road. Could do with better signage. The staff are very friendly here and are prompt to take orders. The food is very tasty and there are many choices. Unfortunately, however, portions are quite small. Just because we are vegan, it doesn't mean we eat tiny portions. Also, bread should be supplied with all the dips and soups. The only part of the meal I didn't particular find great were the desserts. A clean empty plate would also be nice to have to place our food on when sharing, etc. Everything was very tasty, particularly the Chill con 'carne', but it's a bit on the pricey side.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Good choice, Tasty food
Cons: No bread supplied with dips or soup, No empty plates supplied, A bit pricey

Great late night spot - Edit
We arrived at our hotel at 10pm and wanted some food - Happy Cow led us here and it was perfect. It's a great cozy space in a nice neighbourhood with other bars and restaurants nearby. The staff are really friendly and have good taste in music. They have a great selection of local beers, including some organic ones. The food was amazing, we ordered way too many dishes just to try everything. The portions are pretty large. The lasagna was our favourite, the sauces are great. They close at 1am but it was still busy and lively at midnight on a Tuesday.

Friendly service + good vegan food in hip district - Edit
Had a wonderful little lunch with 3 friends here. Good location, central, easy-to-find and the restaurant itself has a relaxed ambience. Friendly service. I thoroughly enjoyed my veggie roast dish and my friend loved her soup. They forgot to charge us for an item and when I pointed it out to them, they offered us free shots as a show of thanks. Recommended!
