Vegetarian tapas experience in an authentic looking bar - Edit
The menu offers a selection of vegetarian tapas. They also have pizza, burgers, sandwiches and burrito
You can enjoy the typical average spanish tapas bar here in a vegetarian version. But mind you, avarage spanish tapas means a lot of grease/oil and salt ;) So dont expect healthy or refined food. But it's a very welcome option because in regular places in Madrid the only thing veg on the menu is fried potato and fried peppers. So I would visit again and will recommend.

Increíble! - Edit
Taberna acogedora con muchas opciones veganas y gran variedad de cervezas artesanales! La tortilla de patatas de las mejores que he probado y las tartas increíbles, todo vegano. El menú es un plato principal a elegir y con grandes raciones. Espero poder volver pronto! La cocinera que hace las tartas muy simpática y nos ayudó con la elección de los platos, sin duda repetiré!
Pros: Muchas opciones veganas , Bar acogedor y camareros atentos, Buen precio
Cons: Demasiadas opciones en la carta, un poco excesivo

Yuk! - Edit
Had the worst meal I have been served in a long time. I ordered a vegan burger on a corn tortilla, supposedly with vegies.
I got a starchy, inedible patty that seemed to be mainly flour. It was sitting on something white and tasteless. I think that was supposed to be the tortilla. The only real food was a few thin slices of tomato, but no other vegetables.
The 'meal' was accompanied by lots of nachos and a nameless sauce.
I left almost all of the meal and just ate too many of the nachos cos I was hungry.
Pros: Other vegan options on the menu, but little that w
Cons: The worst food I've eaten in a long time. I would

Para almorzar vegano - Edit
Tienen comida carnica (lo denominan "tradicional"), opciones vegetarianas y opciones veganas. El menú de mediodía (plato combinado) estaba muy muy bien de precio y muy rico. Sigue estando bien pero he tenido que modificar la reseña porque han subido los precios. Ahora el plato combinado para comer allí cuesta casi como un menú en otro lugar. Comer en la barra o para llevar es más barato. Eso sí, la calidad y los productos son buenos y la atención es amable.
Pros: La tortilla vegana, El menú de mediodía, La atención
Cons: Han subido los precios

One of the best vegan spanish omelettes - Edit
Viva Chapata offers one of the best vegan spanish omelettes of Madrid amongst a variety of vegan and non-vegan traditional spanish dishes.
The menu has a broad selection of sandwiches, pizzas, burgers and traditional dishes plus a small selection of dishes that changes daily (only for lunch).
It is not one of the cheapest options in the area but it is worth it if you are interested either in the omelette (tortilla) or in one of the dishes offered that day.
Pros: Great spanish omelette
Cons: Prices, Still serves meat

Repetiré sin duda alguna - Edit
Fui allí con dos amigas no vegetarianas y las tres terminamos muy satisfechas en cuanto a la cantidad (yo pedí la pizza barbacoa vegana y no pude terminarla). Las raciones son grandes, la comida está muy buena y el precio es decente. Es un sitio un poco pequeño y la atención del camarero es escasa, pero en cuanto a calidad/precio está perfecto. Personalmente no me gustó la tarta de zanahoria porque solo sabía a jengibre pero la de chocolate estaba muy buena. Repetiré sin duda.
Pros: Cantidad, Precio, Buen sabor
Cons: Falta de atención, Sitio muy pequeño

Vegan options - Edit
I loved that the portion of vegan cheese and guacamole was quite big. I really liked it.
However, tortilla de patata with tomato sauce was really dry and quite simple.
In general, having dinner there was a good experience but I personally would not go there again as there are so many other nice vegan options in Madrid.
Pros: Yummy nachos, Good coffee, Friendly service
Cons: Serves meat

Lots of traditional vegan options - Edit
Despite not being a vegan restaurant this place has excellent vegan food. Roughly half of the menu is vegan (15 options or more I think).
To start, If you ask for a drink they will bring you also two slices of bread with humus with no additional costs ;)
I ordered nachos with vegan cheese and guacamole, tortilla de patata with tomato sauce. The taste is simply superb. I would probably say it was the best vegan cheese I've ever had.
Staff is very kind and relaxed.
Placed visited by locals, so it's a opportunity for get in touch with them :)
Would definitely recommend and visit again.
Pros: a lot of vegan options, taste, staff
Cons: not totally vegan or vegetarian

Excellent - Edit
Normally, when traveling, I try to solely visit vegan restaurants, and I can't quite remember how I ended up here, but on my trip to Madrid March '15, I did, and I am so glad I did!
The service was very friendly, although they wouldn't allow me to split up the tapas for 2-plate. I got it just for me instead and it was so much food! And so good! I ate as much as possible, and when I couldn't eat more, I had the rest to go and it made for the perfect night snack.
Will be back when visiting Madrid again.
Pros: Excellent tapas, Very friendly service

Pros: Really tasty vegan options, Big portions, Good prices
Cons: Usually full at night, Not so many vegan options

Reasonable - Edit
This little bar has a lovely vibe, friendly staff, and a big vegan range of classic Spanish tapas.
The tapas we ordered were, unfortunately, very heavy and served with no style at all. One, for example, was just deep fried eggplant thrown on a plate with sauce squeezed on top. And they were unfortunately out of the dish I'd been lost looking forward to (croquettes).
I enjoyed being able to try traditional dishes that I've not been able to eat in Spain, and I loved the atmosphere. I probably wouldn't go back, though.
Pros: Traditional Spanish tapas, reasonably priced, lovely staff and atmosphere
Cons: Oily and heavy food, bland presentation, some menu items unavailable

Super vegan friendly - Edit
Went there and asked for a Natacha Vegana to go. Didn't have to wait much, and I had a look at the menu. It had many vegan options clearly indicated, as well as vegetarian, indicated with a different symbol.
Natacha was good and abundant. Good amount for its price.
Will go back again.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, everything clearly marked.

Original y ambiente agradable - Edit
Uno de mis sitios preferidos de Madrid. Tienen una carta variada, con opciones veganas y no veganas ideal para compartir unas tapas con amigos veganos y no veganos. La relación calidad-precio es muy buena, y siempre que he ido la atención ha sido exquisita. 100% recomendable si se busca un bar original sin precios que se suban a la parra.
Pros: Variedad de la carta, Amabilidad de los camareros
Cons: Que no haya más bares así en Madrid

Tasty tapas in Lavapiés - Edit
Nice place in Lavapiés with a fair list of tasty vegan tapas: hummus, mushroom croquettes, vegan Spanish omelette, sandwiches in ciabatta, small vegan pizzas, etc. Not the most original and exciting tapas of the world, but there are enough to choose and they taste great. A good bar to go with non-vegan friends and share the order.
Pros: fair range of vegan tapas
Cons: a bit pricey

Great place! - Edit
Great little place, with loads of vegan options. Everything was super tasty, and clearly marked on the menu, which made ordering a breeze compared to other experiences in Madrid. And there was plenty of gluten free options for me too. Service was nice enough, though they were rushed off their feet on a Saturday night, but they were efficient and the food came out promptly. Will definitely be back!

Buenas Opciones Mal Servicio. - Edit
Buena carta veg-friendly con.opciones diferentes para elegir, pero recibimos un trato bastante lamentable desde el primer momento en el que entramos. No creo que volvamos.
