Hit & miss food, underwhelming venue - Edit
It's nice to have a place where there are so many vegan tapas options because it can be hard around here to have more than the basics on offer. However, some of the dishes here were definitely more exciting than others. I loved the fried fish (very realistic!) and the Russian salad with tuna!
Read moreThe venue though is very small and unexciting.

All vegan tapas - Edit
Called in here late in the evening for a snack. We didn’t want anything too rich so ordered croquettes, omelette and Russian salad. It was all pretty rich to be honest. Really delicious. A big menu. All vegan. Hoping to go back and try more dishes tomorrow.

Excellent spot for vegan Spanish classics and seafood lovers alike - Edit
What they did well:
Read moreLa Vegana Tapería is a lovely place to enjoy vegan versions of traditional Spanish dishes. The menu is wide, creative, and beautifully presented — great for anyone who misses Spanish classics or seafood but wants them plant-based. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff are friendly and helpful.
How they could earn 5 stars:
Personally, I don’t really miss meat or seafood, so I’d love to see more natural, less processed options — more vegetables, legumes, or homemade dishes instead of the imitation meats. Some dishes also seem to be reheated in the microwave, which takes away from the freshness a bit.
Pros: Great variety of vegan Spanish tapas, Big menu with creative tapas and seafood alternati, Friendly service
Cons: A bit too focused on imitation meat and seafood, Frequent microwave use for heating dishes, Could offer more natural, less processed options

SIMPLY AMAZING!!! - Edit
I'm in awe - everything was SO delicious and I felt like I'm getting the authentic Spanish tapas experience for the first time as a vegan. Even the "shrimps" and "octopus" were so close to the real thing, even my mixed-diet companion was confused. Will definitely come again ❤️
Read morePros: Delicious tapas, Attentive staff, On a cute street, a couple tables outside

Main Memory of Malaga! - Edit
Without a doubt, the most memorable food eaten in Malaga 2025 (although other restaurants are available)! La Vegana Taperia far excelled expectation and I have nothing but praise for the menu choices and serving staff. (I was happily surprised, as the day before I had popped in for info but found a couple of staff members unhelpful.) The food was nicely presented and tasted incredible. We had Cappaccio de Octopus, Patatas Bravas and a (huge) Russian Salad. Simple food with top notch taste. Pricing is modest, location is very close to Picasso Plazza, and the local area is slightly bohemian. I am so glad we returned and shall make a point of revisiting whenever possible.
Read morePros: Modest pricing for decent sized portions , 100% Vegan, Well thought out menu choices

We have since revisited and again had a really great experience. This time we chose the Russo Salad and a Beef Bao as our edible victims. They did not disappoint! Also, the pricing is actually particularly modest so increase your tips!

Super bueno! - Edit
No esperaba encontrarme esta taperia pero que buena suerte! Pedí la tortilla de patatas y el pincho de gambas, podría haber pedido más ya que me apetecían bastantes cosas del menú. Servicio fue rápido. Las recetas pueden ser mejoradas, la comida estaba bien pero no tan buena como podría llegar a ser.

Good to have vegan options but not amazing - Edit
I was a bit disappointed by this restaurant. It was good to have lots of vegan options however some were not great. Tasty options were the bravas, ‘meatballs’, croquettes and padron peppers. Lots of the food was fried and some dishes could have been improved such as the vegan tortilla which tasted bland. Overall, not sure it’s worthy of the 5 star reviews.

Awesome vegan tapas🌱 - Edit
La Vegana Taperia was the first restaurant my boyfriend and I went to on our visit to Málaga and we loved it!!
Read moreIt is a small restaurant, so it can get easily crowded, but the service and food are amazing. I can confirm that probably it was the best plant-based tapas I had for a while.
We ordered the croquetas of the day which had cheese in them, pimientos del padron, tortilla de patatas with alioli, cheese sticks (that were so good we ordered them again) and fried aubergine with cane honey.
If you are in the area I highly recommend eating there🌱

So happy to find a 100% veggie place to eat in Málaga ! Everything tasted so great😄we were 3 and shared six different tapas. We paid around 13€ each, drink included (and every bite was worth it !) I highly recommand the Andaluz style brocheta and the croquetas

Großartig - Edit
Das Essen war mega lecker. Man hat super viele Optionen und auch verschiedene Optionen der Größe des Gerichtes. Deswegen kann man super viel probieren. Hier muss man auf jeden Fall hin. Schön wäre, wenn es mehr Plätze draußen hätte. Wir sitzen halt gerne draußen. Absolut zu empfehlen. Das Personal war auch sehr nett.

Tenen tantes opcions que hagués demanat tota la carta. Tapes tradicionals versió vegetal. Tot bonissim.
Read moreHi ha tamany tapa, mitja o ració. Vam fer tapes per probar vàries coses.
Tots els plats venen amb acompanyament.
Les salses de les mandonguilles i els xoriçets són delicioses.
Ens hem quedat amb ganes de probar més coses i tornarem.
Recomano anar-hi aviat per no quedar-se sense taula.
Pros: Varietat d'opcions, Porcions generoses
