The best vegetarian restaurant in Spain

We ate lunch at this very centrally located restaurant in August 2010. It is a large place but was quite full, which attests to its popularity. Although the food is rather expensive compared to other veggie places, we felt that it was good value as the portions were very large and excellently prepared. There are numerous a la carte options but the set menu (appetizer, main course, drink, desert), which is enough for 2 to share (perhaps with the addition of a small appetizer), is the best value (however it was only listed in the Spanish menu and not in the English one). My fussy daughter had pizza, which she requested without vegetables, and she was very happy with it. For starters the restaurant offers complementary small veggie balls. There is a very good potato dish with cheese (I don't remember the name) and the freshly blended juices are excellent. The food was served aesthetically, the service prompt and the waiter helpful. The owner herself brought the food and enquired as to whether we liked it. The bill for a very fulling meal for 5 people came to 80 Euro, somewhat expensive but worth it (we could have orded less food but didn't realize it).

Pros: excelent food

Cons: somewhat expensive

Very good, but not paella

Came here because I wanted authentic paella, but vegan. The dish was very nice, but it was not paella. It was just rice with veggies. It tasted good, but I really wanted something else. The non vegans I went with had two different non vegan dishes and raved about them. So this is a great place, but just not for the vegan paella it's supposedly known for.

Lo mejor!!

Me encantó Yerbabuena, vine desde Costa Rica siguiendo una recomendación y superó mis expectativas, pedimos paella, risotto, musaka y ensalada de bulgur, ah y no se vayan sin pedir postre. Único lugar en Madrid que he visto queso vegano y todos los platillos adaptados en versión vegetariana y vegana

Pros: Delicioso sabor, Todos los platillos adaptados para veganos, Muy buena atención

Great food and many vegan options

The food was delicious and the portions are big.
There are plenty of vegan options.
Not all staff speak English and there was a misunderstanding regarding one of the dishes we ordered, but it tasted great.

Vegan and vegetarian options

The food was good. Maybe too "healthy" for what I actually prefer. I think this is a great spot if you're looking for something light. I had the paella and it could be better in my opinion. The pasta was really good though!

Lied about animal based cheese

This women lied 3 times straight to my face that the cheese on my plate was vegan. I've been vegan long enough to now vegan cheese isn't that stretchy or creamy.

Halfway preparation I told them I forgot to order the dish vegan-style. They would adjust it. But appeared they never did. And kept lying about it.

My Spanish friend who has been working in restaurants for many years says those kind of things happen a lot in Spain. So be careful :)

Very cute veggie place.

Everything was very cozy and small, feels like a hidden gem. Menu is in English but the staff doesn't speak it well. The food is authentic and delicious. Prices are very okay. There was a free appetizer in the beginning and tea at the end of the meal. Very cute and cozy atmosphere.

Pros: Local business , Everything vegetarian and many things vegan., Nice atmosphere, recommended by locals.

Cons: Entrance is a little bit hidden :)

Céntrico y delicioso

Restaurante vegetariano con bastantes opciones veganizables y muy ricas. Buenísima la flauta, la verdad es que podría ser vegana directamente porque apenas se nota la diferencia.

Precio que considero razonable salvo postres y bebidas (lata de Mahou 3,50€ 😳).

Estupendo aperitivo de cortesia. Sería un detalle de buen gusto y sostenibilidad ofrecer ✨ jarra de agua del grifo✨, pedimos una además de otras bebidas y nos sacaron unos vasitos.

Pudimos reservar la misma mañana de domingo (grupo pequeño)

EL TIRAMISÚ

Le pongo 4 estrellas por el tiramisú, de los mejores veganos que he probado. La comida estaba bastante rica y los platos son contundentes, justifican su precio. Casi todo es vegano o vegetariano veganizable.

Te dan agua del grifo si la pides sin juzgarte demasiado, pero las bebidas son carísimas: la lata (¡LATA!) de cerveza 3,50€. Entiendo que es un sitio céntrico muy a mano y el local es bastante grande pero no deja de sorprender.

Igualmente volvería por el ✨ tiramisú✨

Nice cafe

Much more of a cafe feel compared to a restaurant. The staff didn’t speak English, but we got by. The menu had English side. Plenty of options, most of which could be veganised. I had the spaghetti with meatballs, which was very nice. They also brought out a complimentary appetiser. Nice people. Would go back because it’s not just about burgers and fries here. Loads of alternatives. #Veganuary

Pros: Number of options, Very reasonable price , Bright interior

Delicious, homemade food

My husband and I happened to be around the corner from this place, and then it came up on Happy Cow. We went in on a Friday night without a reservation and it wasn’t a problem. Everything that can be made vegan is clearly marked on the menu, including several desserts. We loved the eggplant appetizer. The service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan option, Homemade, hot food, Many vegan dessert options

The Garlic Mushrooms with Patron Peppers are amazing!

On a quiet Wednesday Evening in May we had the place to ourselves, but the place should be full over night! The food and service were fantastic—Creative options, lots of vegetarian choices, yummy sauces!

Pros: Lots of vegetarian options, Delicious seasoning, Garlic Mushrooms with Padron peppers!

Finally something that isn't a burger place

I have been here a couple times. Given that almost all vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Madrid are burger places, this place really stands out. Vegan option are plentiful and clearly marked. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. And finally, the food is very tasty. The paella is delicious. The place is pretty small, so it makes sense to make a reservation. The only thing keeping me from giving this place 5 stars is I don't understand why it's not 100% vegan.

Pros: Taste, Service, Numerous options

Cons: Small, usually can't just walk in, Not everything is vegan

Fantastic Food no Thrills experience

Fantastic vegetarian menu with tons of choice and brilliant quality food. Super delicious dishes though the experience is very much a cantina experience. Not a negative, just setting your expectations. Lovely lady than runs the place too!

Great lunch in a great location

The daily menu is a great value. Most items can be made vegan and the salad alone could have been a full meal. Super convenient stop while out exploring
