Cozy place with homemade meals

A cozy place with tasty meals that are home made style. No fast food & „spiritual“ vibes.
Not lifestyle vegans. They really love animals.

Pros: Affordable , Tasty , Owners are vegans

Delicious vegan guachinche (typical canarian food)

Couldn’t take any pics as we were starving! The food was homemade and delicious. They had a daily menu for 6.50 or small plates. We had tortilla, croquettes and ropa nueva (chickpeas stew), also had arroz con leche and carrot cake beer. All for €16! Delicious! It’s homemade so don’t expect a fancy place. It is delicious though!!

Authentisch vegane Hausmannskost

Im Rahmen eines Urlaubs sind wir bei einem Besuch in La Laguna auf dieses kleine Lokal aufmerksam geworden. Es ist eines der sehr wenigen, die ausschließlich vegane Speisen anbieten. Uns hat es gut gefallen. Das Ambiente und die Einrichtung sind einfach, aber die Atmosphäre ist absolut authentisch. Der Betreiber, Koch und Servicekraft in einem, ist eine sympathische Persönlichkeit und im Hintergrund läuft klassische Musik. Als selbst überzeugter Veganer vermittelt er diese nachhaltige Ernährungsweise und diesen Lebensstil durch eine täglich wechselnde Speisekarte. Das Tagesmenü besteht aus einer frischen Gemüsesuppe (oder bei unserem zweiten Besuch innerhalb einer Woche aus einer Kichererbsensuppe), einem Hauptgang mit Kartoffeln, Seitan (oder ähnlichem) und Gemüse der Saison. Besonders lecker war das vegane Tiramisu als Dessert. Das Tagesmenü kostet nur sage und schreibe 6,50 Euro! Außer dem Tagesmenü gibt es noch eine kleine Auswahl an weiteren Speisen. Alles wird mit Sorgfalt zubereitet und orientiert sich geschmacklich an der kanarischen-spanischen Küche. Wer authentische vegane Hausmannskost auf Teneriffa sucht, ist hier genau richtig!

(Zweimaliger Besuch fand im März 2022 statt.)

ENGLISH VERSION:
During a holiday, we came across this little place while visiting La Laguna. It is one of the very few that offer exclusively vegan dishes. We liked it very much. The ambience and furnishings are simple, but the atmosphere is absolutely authentic. The owner, a chef and service staff in one, has a friendly personality and classical music plays in the background. As a convinced vegan himself, he conveys this sustainable diet and lifestyle through a menu that changes daily. The daily menu consists of a fresh vegetable soup (or, on our second visit within a week, a chickpea soup), a main course with potatoes, seitan (or similar) and seasonal vegetables. The vegan tiramisu for dessert was particularly delicious. The menu of the day costs a whopping 6.50 euros! In addition to the daily menu, there is a small selection of other dishes. Everything is prepared with care and the taste is based on Canarian-Spanish cuisine. If you are looking for authentic vegan home cooking on Tenerife, this is the place for you!

Grato descubrimiento

Me gustó mucho, fue grato, todo sabroso, la ensaladilla y croquetas no dirías que son veganas. Los postres sin azúcar y muy buenos. El camarero que parece el dueño es un personaje. Muy amable el trato. Repetiré

Pros: Todo vegano, sabroso, Los menús diarios 6.50€

Cons: Me gustaría que estuviese más limpio.

Fresh and seasonal food

We went with the menu and were more than happy. Simple, good food with local products and lots of fresh veggies. Home made seitan. Not the regular vegan burger you will find in other vegan places. Very nice owner and cheap prices.

Pros: Fresh, Cheap, Healthy

Amazing value

We wanted to try something a little more Canarian and this delivered. They offer a set menu of three courses or you can order off a separate menu. We went for the set menu which is 3 courses for €6.50! You pay for drinks separately but they offer a variety of these including beer.
The food itself was delicious and while the portions were on the smaller side you can’t really moan when you’re paying €6.50!
To start we were served a vegetable soup with beans in it alongside bread. We then received a vegetable stew with seitan and potatoes. Finally we were offered a choice of dessert and went for what seemed to be a crème caramel/Spanish flan topped with a delicious layer spiced with what seemed to be ginger, cloves, cinnamon etc.
Overall the food was delicious and the service was quick. It was very busy with every table being occupied while we were there so it might be worth trying to book if that’s possible.

Home-made food

The food is very simple but very delicious. Nothing pretentious about the place. It's like eating at home.
The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Prices are VERY affordable.
I love places like this where food is just food (and good for that matter).

Pros: Very cosy, Delicious food, Friendly staff

Cons: Absolutely nothing!

Homemade feel!

Super homey and old school almuerzo spot. You can get the menu or the starter, entree and dessert for the day. I did the latter and it was delicious! All vegetables, nothing fancy - just good ol’ simple Spanish cooking.

Super cheap!

Pros: Vegetable forward, Homemade feel, Cheap af

Very good but not great

I do not love the location of the place. Also did not love the seitan (?) meal. Was quite greasy and resambled meat so much thatit was not really a pleasure to eat it. First course and dessert was very good. Price is great as well

Cons: Main dish

Poor quality service and food

Staff communicates very poorly in English. After asking for a table, we were told to wait even though one of the tables was free. The Staff looked like they were not happy we were waiting. After that, all the other tables and other new guests (speaking Spanish) were served while we were still waiting for a table (2 people). After 15 minutes of waiting, one of the empty tables was finally cleared. The food was acceptable but with only one option to choose from with none sophisticated dishes (cabbage and zucchini soup, tomato sauce with potatoes and seitan). For dessert there were some unrecognizable sweets to choose from (e. g. kind of rice gruel?). We chose the carrot cake, which turned out to be biscuits layered with grated raw carrots and cinnamon, which was distasteful. The cleanliness in the restaurant was so-so, and there were no door lock in the toilet.

Pros: Prize

Cons: Food, staff attitude, venue itself.

Homey and delicious

I heard a lot of good opinions about this restaurant and always wanted to come for lunch. The place can be quite busy during lunchtime, so we booked a table in advance. We ordered the full menu which consisted of a soup and bread, second course and a desert. The soup and the goulash with seitan was delicious, nothing extravagant, just simple homey
food. There were a few dessert options, we went for “arroz con leche” and a carrot cake. The first one was very tasty, the other one so so. For 3 full menus and 3 beers we paid 24€, which is an amazing price.

Pros: 100% vegan, Delicious , Cheap

Cons: It’s better to book in advance

Pros: Nice food, good location, Really cheap

Canarian touch

Cheap lunch menu for 6.50€. What makes this place special is the local Canarian touch, it’s not the usual cosmopolitan burger cuisine.

Guachinche vegan

Lately when I come to eat I am a little disappointed. I get the feeling that the quality of the food dropped ... Still, it's a good option for something quick and cheap.

Últimamente, cuando vengo a comer me decepciono un poco. Me da la sensación de que bajó la calidad de la comida... Aún así, es una buena opción para algo rápido y barato.

Me encanta venir aquí de vez en cuando, hacen comida Canaria en su versión vegana, y está todo buenísimo. Es muy sabrosa y lo mejor, súper barata!

Pros: El precio
