Cute homely vegetarian restaurant

I would agree with what other reviewers have said about this restaurant- the quality is not going to blow you away, it’s fairly humble, homely food but it’s decent, portions are good and it’s a friendly place. Would have enjoyed a few less fried items on the vegan platter but there were salads to balance. They also serve a sizeable sangria!

Really fantastic, playful dishes

I was really pleasantly surprised by how good the food was here so close to the most touristy stuff. The salad came out looking almost like a cake in its form, and the mixto vegano was just full of so many intriguing flavors and textures.

Che meraviglia

Carinissimo ristorante vegetariano, con opzioni vegane (sia in menù sia su richiesta). Ottima scelta e Dolci vegani!! In menù anche birra analcolica.
Personale gentilissimo e disponibile, location davvero graziosa. Noi abbiamo mangiato bene! Anche il mio compagno, non veg, si è spazzolato un tris di primi!! Provatelo

The cutest family owned restaurant

They have both vegetarian and vegan food. We’ve tried the vegan mix platter, croquets, empanadas and pasta trio. All of them were 10/10. Also it seems like its a cute older couple who runs the place, we’ve seen the wife making empanadas by hand while the husband is taking orders and serving people. ❤️ We ate there twice in our 10 days in Malaga. Would recommend 100%

Pros: Vegetarian options also, Delicious food, Family owned ❤️

Me encantaron las opciones, pedí paella y el combinado vegano y estaba todo muy rico. Las brochetas y las albóndigas me sorprendieron.

Pros: Opciones ricas, El local es muy acogedor, La amabilidad del personal.

Good for Malaga but could do the same at home

It was a standard tapas place with vegetarian equivalent. I would rate the same as the meat versions. Good but not exceptional

Pros: Many vegan options , Quick service, Nice terasse

Cons: Fried , A bit blend

Good options

Interesting food choices - good to see lentils and whole food options, but then lots of fried food on the same plate.. interesting and some tasty offerings. The pil pil mushrooms were very good. Paella average.
Very cheap compared to other nearby restaurants. Good location. Plenty of seating.

Pros: Some food tasted good, Cheap prices and plenty of seating, Fast and friendly service

Cons: Could do with updating the menu, Some things did not taste great.

Delicious paella

Had the vegan mixed platter and the paella for starter, all was very good but the paella was unreal. Sat outside and the exterior is lovely and the guy running it is, too. Recommend going, wish they had more options though.

Pros: Tasty

Vegetarian restaurant

Vegetarian restaurant in the city centre of Malaga. Perfect location and nice atmosphere. Is worth a visit.

Has also a couple of vegan options. The food was okay, but it was a bit to greasy/oily for me.

Tasty traditional Andalusien Cuisine in vegan

The restaurant, situated in the citiy center of Málaga, offers traditional Andalusien Cuisine in vegetarian and vegan versions. Highly recommend a visit, since it's not as expensive as other restaurants in the citiy for vegetarians/vegans.
The vegan tapas (different mushrooms, paella, ...) and the empanadas were great. El Vegetariano opens in the evening at 7 pm, it's not necessary to make a reservation.

A very tasty and amiable vegetarian and vegan restaurant in the heart of Málaga

The restaurant offers a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes, mostly from primary ingredients. There are lentil burgers, falafels, salads, as well as soups and sweets both in vegetarian and vegan versions. We loved it very much and highly recommend.

The location, the service, the food. Everything was perfect. We took Pil Pil mushrooms, hummus and vegan tapas and it was delicious. You see that everything is handmade cooked.
We'll come back before leaving Malaga.

Delightful Dinner

Delicious dinner with cozy atmosphere. We shared 2 main courses: empanadilla vegana and mixto vegano followed by postre vegano. Also an ecológico bottle of white wine. All very tasty. Delightful company talking to the couple at the next table.

Happy to find food I could eat in Spain

During our two weeks in Spain we have been singularly unimpressed about how hard it is to get vegan food -- not even plant milk for a coffee. So if I can find a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, I am thrilled. This little restaurant was buzzing and busy both inside and at the few tables outside. The wait staff was running! I was pleased that so many other vegetarians and vegans are supporting this restaurant. I had the vegetable creamed soup and the vegan paella which I happily enjoyed. Not gourmet, but solid comfort food at a restaurant in Spain. My husband had the vegan empeñadas and reported they were tasty. My friend had the vegetarian croquettes and also gave them a favourable review. I would go back and would recommend this restaurant. My thanks to the owner for offering a restaurant for folks like us!

Pros: Vegan and vegetarian foods

Cons: A little pricey

Bland and overpriced

We had the vegan paella and it tasted like poorly made rice with boring veggies. Definitely waste of money for me

Best food

We had vegetarian empanadas here today, so lovely, the best food, 4 delicious empanadas with3 salads. - a coleslaw like salad with red cabbage and apple, brown lentil salad and a warm cauliflower and broccoli salad in a lovely sauce. Empanadas we’re absolutely delicious. We had cheesy ones but vegan also available.
Pretty little restaurant and so happy to find a vegetarian and vegan restaurant as, we don’t speak or read any Spanish and we’re struggling to tell what was on menus as we walked through Malaga. Menus available in English too

Pros: Vegetarian snd vegan only cafe, Menus in English as well as Spanish, Beautifully decorated and cosy 😊

Delicious food and great value!

I had the vegan mixed plate and everything was delicious, but special praise goes out to the carrot and curry croquettes which were especially lovely. The garnish was sweet potatoes, quinoa with veggies, and a red cabbage and carrot salad - all really tasty, too. The location is super central, very close to the Alcazaba, so I was expecting it to be more expensive, but the prices are very reasonable and the food is great value for money.

Pros: Tasty food, Great value, Location
