Tasca con raciones abundantes

Es la primera vez que íbamos. Pedimos dos arepas y una tarta para compartir.
Las raciones son abundantes y el personal amable. Buen sitio para un tapeo.

Lækkert

Lækker traditionel mad. Vi fik humus, ikke kødboller i tomatsauce og calzone 😋

Pros: Calzone med scampe, Ikke kødboller i tomatsauce, Humus

Cons: No, Lidt syrlig lemonade, Lækker humus

Espectacular

Platos caseros y muy logrados.
Pedimos los No Calamares y nos sorprendieron por su sabor y textura. No parecían veganos.
La txapata de bacon muy rica también.
Los postres (tarta de queso y tiramisú) espectaculares.

Amazing calamares sandwich!!!

Its rare to find a vegan rendition of a pincho de calamares and viva chapata does it bery tastefully. The portion is big and filling. I also had the oreo cake and it was fluffy

Unassuming

We almost missed this one! I love they offer a menu of the day. On the day we were there I had Salmorejo soup(seemed like gazpacho to me), Paella and Oreo cake (which I couldn’t finish 😞).
My husband had the soup of the day, plate of the day and tiramisu.

All the portions were full size. As we ended our month long stay, this was the perfect way to end. Great flavors and a meal I will remember. The staff are really friendly and helpful. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. They have ceiling fans indoors!

Unassuming pub, great for savory brunch, affordable

If you like your breakfast/brunch on the savory side more than the sweet, you'll have plenty of choice. Portion sizes are somewhere in between tapas and a meal. Tostadas are half a crunchy ciabatta, fresh vegetables, coarse salt, lots of texture. Torta de patatas tastes similar to the traditional one, a bit on the sweeter side. Sauce it's served with is aromatic (cumin-forward). We had a coffee, a beer, and 4 dishes, and the bill was 19€ total.

Pros: Old-school pub vibe and food, Dogs allowed inside

Mala calidad-precio

Las croquetas estaban saladas y el arroz al curry seco, con muy poco sabor. El personal muy apático y los precios muy caros por la cantidad y calidad de los productos. No lo recomiendo.

Cons: Mala calidad de la comida, Precios caros, Personal apatico

Ya ha puesto usted otra reseña en Google. Las croquetas no están saladas pues yo mismo
Las probé cuando se fue del local. Y lo de la apatía le vuelvo a contestar que es un insulto para con nosotra pues se le atendió más que correctamente. Salud y amor

Not bad

We came to try the arepas but were a bit underwhelmed, both with the Beyond arepa and the patatas bravas. The menu had many different appealing things but I doubt we’d come back to try more.

The decision to include a massive spider as part of the decor is interesting! 😂

Un poco caro y/o escaso

He ido varías veces y por eso vuelvo.
Pero hoy pedí el bowl y la verdad se me hizo bastante caro para la cantidad que pusieron.
Así que si vais con hambre, pedid otras cosas que suelen ser más contundentes

Pros: El camarero, La terracita, La localización

Cons: El plato (cantidad), El.plato (precio)

Good food good staff

I ordered the gyoza's. They were nice. And the nacho's, but it was too much to finish on my own. The owners have a dog that chills there all day. We bonded and it was the highlight of my day.
The owners are really nice as well.

Pros: Good food, Friendly people

Cons: Not the best gyoza's I've had.

Get the Spanish Imelette

Such a quaint place with lovely owners!! I loved the Spanish omelette with grandma’s sauce. And my dessert was fabulous. They have several to choose from. Going back tonight for dinner. Will share. Sorry I forgot to take photo of omelette but did get one of the cake.

Good brunch deal


Our last day in Madrid kicked off with brunch here—a great little spot offering a €16.50 deal that includes a granola bowl, coffee, fresh orange juice, and a main. Definitely good value!

My partner in crime went for the avocado toast, which came with a layer of tomato—simple but beautifully presented. I went for the tortilla, and wow, it was fantastic! Soft, almost cake-like in texture, and absolutely delicious.

If you’re looking for a solid brunch option in Madrid, this place is well worth a visit.

Pros: Food

Traditional Madrid food made vegan and delicious

I haven’t had a proper cocido since I became vegan and vegetarian almost 8 years ago. It was absolutely delicious and exactly how I remember it. The place is a traditional taverna with other fantastic foods that I can’t wait to try. The cakes and desserts were also to die for! The staff was so lovely and invited us to some chupitos after our meal. You can tell they put a lot of effort as everything is home made and very tasty. As a madrileña this is 100% approved!

Pros: Staff, Food, Everything basically

I had the mushrooms croquettes which were very juicy and great as appetizers. And round it up with the size-matters bocadillo No Calamares. Deliciously garlicky and filling. Great beer selection.

Great bar with typical food!

I have been to viva chapata about 3 times now. I've had the calamari, which my non vegan friend said they looked and tasted real. The tortilla but the sauce that came with it wasn't great, at least for me. I've had also some of the desserts, and the passion fruit pie was really good. I loved the organic cider! Such a difference from the other ones. #Veganuary

Pros: Food options , Desserts, Typical Bar vibe

Menú del día

La relación calidad, cantidad y precio es estupenda. Pedimos tres menús (no hicimos fotos de todo) y todo nos gustó mucho. Además pedimos una tapa de tortilla de patatas, que estaba espectacular. Los entrantes eran más pequeños pero los platos principales bastante grandes. Los postres, fruta de temporada un tarta súper rica.

Doesn’t stand out

I used to live in this neighborhood and came here a lot. To make a long story short, the quality is very hit-or-miss and has definitely declined.
My main complaints:
- croquetas that were previously frozen and haven’t been cooked through, so are cold in the middle when served.
- veggie burgers with a stingy half-piece of vegan cheese
- the “healthy bowl” which not only was served after the other 5 guests at my table were 2/3 through their meals, but had a lackluster presentation (think ingredients thrown in a dish with sauce splashed on them) and was covered in oil
- food reheated in the microwave
- fries dripping with oil

The service we received on our most recent visit, however, was far better than the below-average food. Two stars for that. Thankfully, Madrid is not a vegan wasteland with a dearth of options. If there’s nothing else open, okay, but know that it’s greasy bar food and that you can get more for your money elsewhere.

Good food but expensive

We ate lunch on a Saturday and I loved the food but I think it was too expensive, we paid 70eur for 2 lunches plus 3 beers and dessert
Very nice staff and great place.
