Good food, small portions - Edit
We really liked the quality and taste of the food. However, it is filling or cheap due to the size of the plates.

Sehr leckeres Essen! - Edit
Das Essen ist unglaublich lecker, die Portionen auch sehr grosszügig. Der Inhaber super freundlich! Einzig das Ambiente ist schade.. rundherum Metzgereien.. echt hart als Veganerin!

Really delicious food - Edit
Finding this place was easy, but the environment is really hard to bear especially if you are vegan. It's a meat market with lots of butcher shops, fish markets, and cheese shops. It smells like a meat market too.
Read moreOnce you get through that this beautiful vegan stall is right in the middle.
The menu is written in chalk and everything is sustainable as far as take away containers and even the napkins. I really appreciate that.
There are no tables, but there is counter service. So I decided to eat there. I got the lentil soup, the 3 sisters soup, the hummus and pita and the grape juice.
Everything tasted homemade and really good. The lentil soup was my favorite but I love lentil soup in general. It's my favorite soup. The 3 sisters soup was also really flavorful and filling. I only got a half portion of that because I was already eating so much food. The hummus was very creamy and it was a large amount and the pita was a great way to get the hummus into my mouth. The grape juice was in a glass bottle and is a good portion. It wasn't too sweet and had a nice tartness.
Overall I would recommend this place for food, but it might be better to take away to eat away from the surrounding animal products.
The person who served me at the booth was very friendly and spoke English. It was a really nice visit.
Pros: Large portions for a good value, Lentil soup!
Cons: Surrounded by butchers

Cute little spot in a mercado - Edit
I was so happy to find a 100% vegan spot in a mercado - I always wanted to eat at a counter type place in a local market but being Spain, they are usually not very vegan friendly so this place was a great find!
Read moreThe food is all home cooked and authentic. I had the chickpeas with spinach which was delicious!
An added bonus is that the owner speaks English which always helps when you are learning the language!
Pros: Tasty food, Home cooked and authentic, Owner speaks English

Good service and a chat - Edit
It's a peculiar environment for a vegan place when all surrounding shops are all about animal products.
Read moreOwner speaks English wnd we had a short chat. I had hummus and mamaica curry. Heated up in a microwave, and portion wasn't that big but I enjoyed it.

Kiosko vegano en mitad del mercado - Edit
Es uno de los puestos del
Read moremercado de abastos del barrio. Por una parte es extraño que un vegano esté rodeado de puestos de carne. Por otro lado, es maravillo lo integrado y normalizado que está y lo variado de su público. Hacen comidas sencillas que son veganas en origen. Yo probé la olla gitana, un guiso de garbanzos tradicional de Murcia y de postre un dátil con chocolate.

Hummus increíble - Edit
Probé el hummus y el babaganoush, ambos me encantaron, el hummus tenía una textura casi como una mousse de chocolate, una maravilla. Además los precios son muy razonables. Lo recomiendo!!

Clean food and totally delicious! - Edit
I enjoyed the food and the energy very much!
Read moreThe ingredients used are 99% organically sourced, and the methods of preparations used allow for the food (especially nuts and seeds) to be more nutritious.
The kitchen is also very responsible and sustainable as it uses recyclable and plant-made containers and bags 💚
Chef Rubén is very knowledgeable about the real meaning of healthy cuisine and has a kind and thoughtful nature.

Decent food; surrounded by meat! - Edit
The food is ok, though nothing special.
Read moreThe problem with this place is, on 3 sides you're surrounded by butchers, fishmongers, and cheese-mongers (the fourth side is an olive-seller).
I'm not exagerating when I say I counted 11 such places while waiting, and that's without even walking around the stall trying to spy more!
If you don't mind eating/waiting surrounded by such things, go right ahead, but personally, I'm not a fan.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: You're surrounded by meat, fish, and cheese! :-(

Parada obligatoria si no tienes comida en casa - Edit
Fui (como mayoría de la gente) un día porque no me había dado tiempo a cocinar y pasaba por allí. Volveré seguro. La comida es casera, riquísima y nutritiva a buenos precios. Los envases son biodegradables pero también puedes llevar tu propio tupper y tu bolsita. Recomiendo muchísimo la calabaza asada con salsa verde

Local vegano y ecológico en el mercado de Santa María de la Cabeza. Posibilidad de comer en barra o llevar para el domicilio.
Read moreRica comida casera, local y de temporada, buena atención y precios adecuados. Los envases para llevar son biodegradables.
Fui únicamente para salvar un día que no me daba tiempo a cocinar y a partir de ahora mi misión en la vida es que a Rubén (cocinero) no le falte nunca de nada.

Just amazing!! - Edit
The guy was really nice!
Read moreFood was incredible!!
I had koftas, not fried, oven!! So much healthier!! Thank you guys!!
Then olla gitana, first time, and didn't dissapoint, the opposite, was awesome!!
Ice cream was great too!! Spanish (local), organic, palm oil free and gluten free :)
Highly recommended!!
Just less than 10mins walking from Atocha station, so it is perfect when you need to take a train and don't too much time for a regular restaurant.

Vegan stall in an indoor market ! - Edit
It is actually a stall inside the market Mercado Santa María de la Cabeza. I got the Gazpacho which was the best I ever eaten. You can actually taste the fresh and qualitative vegetables. And also got a stew with chickpeas that was delicious too. The owner was very friendly and could speak good English. I especially liked the fact that it was around locals and not in a touristy area. You could feel that the real life of Madrid citizens was happening here !

Super tasty WFPB dishes - Edit
Excellent dishes from the traditional Spanish cuisine, most of them are originally vegan so they just comprise legumes and vegetables, totally awesome! In addition to that, ingredients are organic and seasonal. Cons: not the most comfy to eat in (you need to eat at the counter) and there are butcher's and fishmonger's all around
Read morePros: awesome WFPB dishes, very fairly priced, organic and seasonal, super helpful staff
Cons: not very comfy to eat in, butcher's and fishmonger's inside the market, a couple of dishes weren't available

Great store, great takeaway - Edit
Owner/chef was super friendly and explained the menu to us in English. We got two takeaways plus two dips and bread for our train trip. Both were freshly made and very yummy! They came in biodegradable packaging and were a generous size and affordable. There were also stools where you could eat at the bar if you wanted. Overall we had a really great experience!! Only thing I could recommend is to maybe have a menu in English and other languages.

Estupendo - Edit
Gran opción de restauración vegana en un mercado. Puedes pedir para llevar o, si tienes suerte, tomarlo en la barra. Tienen bastantes opciones para elegir y el personal es muy majo. Además, tiene mucho mérito continuar al pie del cañón estando justo entre dos puestos de charcutería/carnicería.
