OMG, so good!! - Edit
Glad we found this place on our port stop in Tenerife. We tried to find another place at the New African Woman Market, but no luck. Anyway, we stopped in for lunch and were offered the breakfast menu. We inquired about lunch and got a clipboard with the lunch menu. The Cheese Platter is NOT on the printed menu, but listed on the website.
Read moreWe ordered started with the Cheese Platter, which was delicious! Three of the cheeses tasted very similar and had the consistency of a soft caramel chew, but another was a dead ringer for Brie. Another, which I think is sold as the Roquefort, tasted familiar, but I could place it, and there was a soft spread, which we first thought was some sort of hummus. It had a taste reminiscent of Taki's. All were super tasty, and it was a LOT!
Next came the gnocchi, which, again, was a LOT!! The gnocchi were huge! Each were about the size of a "big-ass" grape and they were super soft, reminiscent of a mochi texture. The pesto was mild, but definitely basil-y. We were stuffed after those two dishes, but we had ordered the tacos, also. There were two tacos, piled high, but again, super tasty.
I would definitely return and try other items on the menu. Would def order the cheese platter again, too! Friendly and helpful staff. Check it out!
Pros: Tasty food, Friendly staff

The menu of the week is a great deal - Edit
I had the menu of the week which was a very delicious pumpkin soup and salty pancakes. Unfortunately they didn't have the menu of the week in english and the waitress was also not eager to speak in english with us but we managed.
Read moreThe prices were quite good: 13-14€ for the menu of the week (soup and pancakes) and a small bottle of water

Menú bastante bueno - Edit
Nos pedimos un menú para comer que estaba bastante bien tanto de sabor como de precio. No le voy a quitar las cinco estrellas porque todo tiene algo malo, en este caso la carta era un poco breve, pero es verdad que estaba muy rico. El baño además adaptado y limpio.

Sehr lecker - Edit
Das Essen war sehr gut, vor allem der Burger (hatte nie einen besseren). Die Portionen sind allerdings recht klein, deshalb keine volle Bewertung.

Nice for lunch - Edit
A good variety of food options here. Nicely presented and intersting flavours. The "mushroom pie" was a vegan quiche and probably the best thing we had. Starters were a bit greasy as deep fried. Small but nice to have some outside tables on a quiet pedestrianised street.
Read morePros: Wide range , Al fresco dining, Nice beer
Cons: A bit on expensive side, Popcorn cauliflower too greasy, Needs higher protein options

Good food indeed, but disappointed due to high expectations - Edit
I was really looking forward to go here. After I booked my stay in Tenerife I started looking up vegan restaurants and had a hard time finding one that looked a bit more high end/classy. Umami did look like it had a nice ambience and the menu looked good as well. And it's fully vegan! Since I was staying through Christmas and New Years I was hoping to dine at a somewhat fancy place and this seemed to fit the bill.
Read moreOpening hours were a bit unclear to me so I send them a message. Sadly it took about 3 months to get a response and by that time I was already home again. No biggie, I figured it out in time (they weren't open during the holidays).
They have two restaurants, both in the north of Tenerife. One in La Laguna and one in Santa Cruz.
I went to the one in Santa Cruz, and wanted to visit the one in La Laguna as well, but sadly had to change plans due to getting the local flu.
The restaurant in Santa Cruz looked nice, but not as fancy as I'd hoped. It is styled modernly and neutral. A lot of wood, which I like. The designs did however compromise on comfort. The wooden benches were not very comfortable to sit on. The locale in Santa Cruz was also very small. It was situated in a small and dark alley and only had 2 outside tables which were uncomfortably close to the street.
The food was okay though! I was really looking forward to trying out the Gnocchi dish but they sadly did not have the ingredients at that time so I had the Mac & Cheeze with mock chicken instead. Though the cheezesauce was great and the pasta cooked perfectly as well, the amount of mock chicken was out of balance. I would have loved a bit more mock chicken.
The cheesecake was good too! Nothing special but very tasty.
Though the cappuccino looked really nice, I thought it was too much, also the cup in which it is served did not feel comfortable to drink out of. These are ofcourse personal preferences, but the cappuccino just wasn't it for me. Another downside was the lack of decaffeinated coffee. I love coffee but I react rather strongly to caffeine, so I usually just take one caffeinated drink and then switch to decaf, which they didn't have.
The alternative they offered, which was probably off-menu, was a decaffeinated instant powder mixed with whipped warm milk to make a decaf cappuccino. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL! Stay clear of the Ikea decaf cappuccino! Not worth it.
Overall it's a fine place to eat, but due to me having high expectations I was disappointed.
Pros: Nice, modern ambience, Food is good, Fully vegan
Cons: No decaf cappuccino, Esthetic/design compromised on seating comfort

Restaurante vegano que vale la pena probar - Edit
Los menús han estado muy bien pensados las veces que hemos ido, bien decorados y muy ricos. La gran variedad de galletas que tienen y los postres también son increíbles. La única pega que pondría es que alguna vez nos han dado un trozo exageradamente pequeño de postre, para lo que cuesta.

Read moreWe ordered the 3 course lunch menu that comes with soup and bread, a main which aubergine with seiten yogurt and a bottle of water. I enjoyed the lentil soup over the pumpkin one. The aubergine main was delicious but would have liked to see it come with some grain like rice or quineo or millet I found the meal too light.
They have a range of cheeze cakes and I tried the teramisu which I was had too much coffee to my liking and the snicker cheesecake was a bit better in taste.
I saw someone else had a buddha bowl which looked alot more filling and balanced meal which I would live to try.
Pros: 100% Vegan, Healthier meal options
Cons: Moderately priced, Small portions

Umami - Edit
Busy, industrial style cafe. They have many options of food, drinks and cakes (carrot and bounty today) cookies (lemon chia, rosemary, chips ahoy, vanilla and chocolate and cacao with sesame) lovely.
Read moreWe had their hot chocolate where they bring hot hazelnut (on req) milk with chocolate pieces to stir in. One of ours had a couple pieces of lemon rind in the milk. (Not sure if if was meant to be there but it tasted not as sickly with it) I had avo, spinach, cheese toasted sandwich (first one had a hair but quickly resolved and no biggie, [censored] happens)
They do a lunch menu mid week with soup/stew starter and main with bread and water for 11.45.
Not disappointed, would return.
Pros: Gf options also
