biggest recommendation for malaga - Edit
favorites: gambas al pil pil, tortilla de patatas, calamares, aioli, tiramisu
Read morelove this place, it gives you the vegan tapas experience and my omnivore company really liked it as well, definitely a must visit!
They don't have a menu on paper but you can connect to their wifi and then open their menu, both per qr code, which is a big plus because the internet connection is very bad in this area so the wifi is a win. The items on the menu are all accompanied by a picture as well. The waitress is very kind.
We had the cuttlefish pinxto, prawn skewers, fried aubergine with cane honey, spanish omelette and squid rings with aioli, as well as the homemade lemonade and the oreo dessert. I'm not that into lemon so the lemonade wasn't for me and I wouldn't recommend the cuttlefish or prawns— they're well made substitutes but not accompanied by any veggies so a bit lackluster.
Now the other dishes however, AMAZING. The aubergine is so good, the cane honey is quite sweet and a good contrast to the savoriness of the other dishes. The calamares and tortilla des patatas were my absolute highlight, both are things I loved as a child when I wasn't vegan and this restaurant really brought back the taste of my childhood for me. I also never expected anyone to be able to reproduce the consistency of both of these dishes so well! Plus the aioli was very good and not shy on the garlic. Just absolutely delicious. The oreo dessert was super tasty as well, though I was disappointed by the plastic packaging. I cannot overstate how much I believe everyone should try this tortilla! I'm grateful I went here.
Update: second time beside the tortilla de patatas we had the gambas al pil pil, the croquettes of the day, the andalusian skewer, fried padron peppers, alioli potatos, meatballs with almond sauce, and a side of olives (1€) as well as rose wine and tiramisu for dessert. The meal was amazing! The gambas al pil pil are great, my favorite of the night! I liked the croquettes and the meatballs, though I would have preferred the meatballs with the tomato instead of the almond sauce, the aioli potatos came with fries but that didn't matter, the andalusian skewer is good though I don't like the vegan sausage but I never liked the original either so that makes sense. The tiramisu was the most authentic vegan tiramisu I've ever eaten elsewhere! And the wine was good too. Plus the prices are so low, if you go for the tapa versions you can try so many things, it's absolutely worth it!

All vegan, but not that tasty - Edit
They only have an online menu which is slow and full of ads, it was difficult to pick meals based on that. Meals were nothing special and service was very slow, I appreciate it’s all vegan, but unfortunately wouldn’t recommend:(

A great Spanish vegan welcome - Edit
Visiting Spain, tapas are a must and having a vegan tapas restaurant made me feel very welcomed! We only had four, but will be back for more. I could eat the bread with potatoes, cheese and chimichurri sauce all day. Delicious! I found the Andalusian skewer chorizo sausage very tasty. Great experience all the way around.

This is an amazing place for tapas! - Edit
They really have so many veganised traditional tapas, it's unbelievable - and they are also unbelievably good and authentic. We went there one day for lunch and returned the next day because it was so good. (The only thing that was a bit underwhelming were the patatas bravas, more french fries than patatas and more tomato-y than brava.) And very reasonable prices.

traditional tapas - Edit
I loved to find a vegan taperia as I‘ve always wanted to try this Spanish traditional dish with all its facets (which is very hard as a vegan). We tried the Russian salad, meatballs, humus, tortillas, aubergines, cheese sticks and more. I gave only 4 stars, because we didn’t like all the tapas. Would go again though.
Read morePros: variety of food , quick service, easy to find
Cons: very small & not very cosy inside, we didn’t like all tapas

Not worth it - Edit
I would have loved to love it, as it’s not often you'll find a fully plant based tapas place in Spain, but the food was at most mediocre. The Spanish omelette was stale, the Russian salad overly salty, the bao bread with pulled pork uninspired and bland, as it literally just consisted of the bread with the mock meat. Many things were warmed up in the microwave. I usually order dessert, but skipped it due to the dull experience.

A Must Visit Venue - Edit
After a very long day of flight delays, we arrived late into Málaga. Thankfully a quick Google search brought up this place and said it was open till 11.30pm 🙏
Read moreWe arrived and got a warm welcome.
The menu was all done via a QR code.
We ordered 5 tapas dishes between 2 of us and that was plenty. With two drinks ( 1 beer and 1 non alcoholic cider) the whole bill was under €40. Absolutely a bonus!
Every single dish arrived in great time and was fantastically fresh and tasty 😋
We can't wait to head back to this place.
Highly recommend - the cheesy sticks (get the large portion)
Pros: Fast service , Fresh food, Extremely tasty
Cons: Would like more desserts on the menu
