Platos caseros y muy logrados.

La txapata de bacon muy rica también.

Unassuming - Edit
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 😞).
Read moreMy 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 - Edit
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.

Mala calidad-precio - Edit
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.

Not bad - Edit
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.

Good brunch deal - Edit
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 - Edit
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!

Great bar with typical food! - Edit
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

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 - Edit
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.
Read moreMy 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.
