Good Vegan Options

We went for an evening meal here last week. The menu is mainly all vegan and the dishes that we had were really good. It's very popular even on a Tuesday evening so maybe worth booking. The staff were very friendly and helpful and if you struggle with Spanish there are English language menus.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Resonably priced

Cheap and good.

There is really cheap. 2 main meals, 1 big glass of orange juice and 1 glass of water with lemon we paid 18,70€! Food is good. Man who works there speak enough English and can explain what is vegan.

Pros: Cheap! Vegan options.

Nice vegetarian place

Good place with friendly staff. They had a offered a 3-course meal, and you could choose between two or three different main courses as well as several different first courses. It all tasted very well, but maybe a bit too much only vegetables for some.

Pros: Good vegan options, Nice deal, Friendly staff

Etonnement copieux, bon et peu cher

Un menu à 9,70 € (hors boisson) avec entrée, plat et dessert. Impossible de finir ! Mais vous pouvez emporter.
Un choix de 4 entrées, 4 plats et plusieurs desserts.
Tous très copieux.
Encore une fois la preuve que l'on mange bien et à sa faim dans les restaurants végétariens.
Personnel très accueillant, prenant le temps d'expliquer le contenu des plats.
Bravo !

Huge portion, not overly vegan friendly

All vegetarian but only a few vegan options. Having said that, you only need one and I had work fried rice and vegetables. It was a huge portion and absolutely delicious. Friendly staff and nice restaurant.

Pros: Location

Cons: Not enough vegan options

3-Gänge Mittagstisch zum Top-Preis

Täglich wechselnde Karte mit mehreren Varianten pro Gang zur Auswahl. Je nachdem ist mal mehr vegan dabei oder auch mal weniger (aber es ist immer was dabei) Unter zehn Euro ist der Preis echt unschlagbar und die Portionen sind groß! Es gibt einen Englischsprachigen Mitarbeiter der einen perfekt auf Englisch berät! Weiter so!

Pros: Best price , Gute Portionen , Auswahl

Cons: Sehr voll (manchmal kein Platz mehr), Keinen Außenbereich

Good

Great menu with many vegan options and staff that is very helpful and also offers to veganize dishes. Also the other regular dishes all sounded great and were affordable. A bit too much oil on everything and everyone but me got an appetizer for free which was annoying. Service was a bit slow but ok.
Interior design is very boring, could be more cheerful or brighter

Delicious vegan options and great service

This was my first time eating at a Malaga vegan restaurant and it was very easy to get to, as a visitor in the city. I had a beautiful quinoa salad, pasta bolognese, and a coffee with soy milk. The portions were very filling and the food was absolutely delicious. Waiters were kind and knowledgeable when asked about vegan options.

Boring

Probably the most boring vegetarian restaurant. Well, beetroot gazpacho was good. But all the rest we had was really so-so. I feel sad fir vegetarians in Malaga, because this place is described as ‘best vegetarian place in the city’.

Not what I expected

I read some positive comments. However I personally was not very satisfied. The servers seem nice, however the restaurant is noisy. Some vegan options, but many more vegetarian options. The ajoblanco is delicious. The potaje also very good. However, i did not like the eggplant, nor the pasta with pea sauce. The croquetas with spinach was... ok...

Pros: Aioblanco

Cons: Noisy

Ok

Del menu del día escogimos del primero el potaje de garbanzos (rico) y la crema de ajo blanco y almendras (muy rico). De segundo la única opción vegana era pasta con salsa de guisantes (muy regular y medio fría). De postre la única opción vegana tenían arroz con leche de soja. Y para tomar café la única leche vegetal era la leche de soja. El sitio agradable, céntrico y los camareros muy majos.

Bon et savoureux!

Nous avons opté pour le menu à 12,5€ ave les choix suivants:
- alejo blanco (soupe froide à l'amande et à l'ail) servi avec quelques morceaux de pomme = délicieux!!
- une demi aubergine au four avec dés de tomates fraîches, ail, coriandre... très bon aussi
- une tarte au citron. Bonne aussi mais in peu trop sucrée pour moi. Je ne pense pas que ce dessert soit vegan...à demander.
Service simple mais attentionné.

Pros: Équipe sympathique , Un alejo blanco trop bon!, Un resto uniquement veggie/ vegan

Good choice of options

I really enjoyed my meal here. I was able to try traditional Spanish food I had not tried before (Garlic Soup) as well as more traditional dishes (Seitan and potatoes). Vegan range was good too, I wasn't limited to just one option, and I was also catered for at dessert (rice pudding).
The waitress was extremely helpful and very friendly, with good English.
Menu is good value, and although Vegetariano El Calafate is not easy to find, I would highly recommend it

Pros: friendly and helpful, good choice, good value

Really good food. I had rice with pesto and tofu, my friend had a vegan burger (he´s not vegetarian). Both of us loved the food.

Excellent food and service

We had gazpacho and ajo blanco for starters, moussaka and courgettes as main course and a persimmon dessert. Delicious! The staff was helpful and we had no problem getting soy free vegan food. The only vegan dessert on the menu contained soy, but they offered us one that wasn't on the menu.

Amazing and affordable!

What a gem in the heart of Malaga! A starter, main course and a dessert for 9,70e. I had the asian soup, soy meat maroccon style with potatoes and a lemon tart, and they were all amazingly delicious! The staff were really helpful and they had menus in English too. One of my favorite vegetarian restaurants, highly recommended!

AMAZING

Cheap for 3 courses, food was great, vegan stuff wasn’t labelled but the staff knew them off by heart. I finished a plate and it was instantly taken away and replaced by another. Top notch service.

Decent and dissapointing at the same time

El Calafate is located in Malaga's city center, a place full of tourists and overpriced mediocre restaurants, a category in which I think it might fall.

We ordered the daily menu, consisting of two starters, two main dishes and two desserts (approx. 10 euro not including any drinks). We had the gazpacho and ajoblanco as starters and they were good, but the main dishes were not so nice. The pasta was overcooked and underseasoned, making it a very bland dish, and the stuffed eggplant was better but it was a bit underseasoned too. The only vegan dessert was the rice pudding with soy milk which was tasty and sweet.

not really impressed

The place was almost empty, just two couples sitting there and the waiter made us to sit right next to them in a very tight corner with no privacy and room for chairs while the whole restaurant and all tables were empty. Nice to find vegan options on the menu but I wasn't really impressed with how it tasted. Got a mushroom chickpeas curry for starter, which didn't taste nice at all plus it was more like a main.. and then dry pasta with some veg in tomato sauce which was very basic, kind of like right from a bolognese jar. Rice pudding as a desert, which I didn't even finish-not nice..

Pros: quick service , vegan options

Cons: pricey for how basic the food is

Decent

Friendly staff, speak English well and knows which dishes are suitable for vegans. Very quick service. All appetizers are sfv, 2 mains and 1 dessert.

Ajoblanco (cold garlic almond soup) was delicious, vegetable soup was good but not very hot.

Main dishes (pasta with tomato and eggplant, and rice with bell pepper and lemon) were not exceptional but good , small portions but the price is very decent.

Updated from previous review on 2017-09-20

Pros: The ajoblanco , Fast and friendly service, speaks English , Low prices

Cons: Small portions, Vegetable soup lukewarm

dairy or eggs in most items

The only vegan main dish had peanuts, which I'm allergic too. I did have a delicious vegetable vegan soup, served with gluten-free bread (stale), and an eggplant dip served with greens (wilted and definitely not fresh). I would give the place a second chance, but overall so far I'm very unimpressed. The price and portion sizes were good, however.

Pros: price, portion size

Cons: dairy in most things, serve things that have been in the kitchen for too, small selection
