Sehr lecker

Das Essen war sehr gut, vor allem der Burger (hatte nie einen besseren). Die Portionen sind allerdings recht klein, deshalb keine volle Bewertung.
Haben noch als Vorspeise Hummus mit frischem Brot bekommen😄

Nice for lunch

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.

Pros: Wide range , Al fresco dining, Nice beer

Cons: A bit on expensive side, Popcorn cauliflower too greasy, Needs higher protein options

Muy bueno

Una carta muy variada y completa. La comida está muy rica y la atención fue excelente. Disponen de carta y menú. El local es muy bonito aunque un poco pequeñito con unas cuatro meses dentro y una o dos mesas fuera.

Pros: La calidad de la comida, Lugar agradable y bonito, La atención por parte del personal

Good food indeed, but disappointed due to high expectations

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.
Opening 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

Tolle Menüs, lecker und preiswert!

Es gibt eine Karte mit Beyond Burger etc. , aber ich empfehle das Menü!
Wir hatten dies für 13 Euro gewählt , man sucht sich eine Suppe, eine Hauptspeise und eine Brotsorte aus und bekommt ein Wasser dazu. Wir wurden mehr als satt.
Hinterher noch einen guten Kaffee bestellt ! Perfekt

Pros: Preis/Leistung, frisch gekocht , Umami!

Cons: -, -, -

Restaurante vegano que vale la pena probar

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.

Updated from previous review on 2023-06-15

Pros: Totalmente vegano, Muy rico , Bien situado

Cons: Porción del postre

Flavourful but small portion

3 Feb 2024

We 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

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.
We 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

Loved it!

Really sweet spot with plenty of options, we enjoyed the little breakfast sandwiches and smoothies, all for about €12 (breakfast for two). Special shout out to the ‘Roquefort’. Definitely go here!

Perfect.

We went there for breakfast and ordered sandwiches, smoothies, and natural yogurt with berries and granola. It was good, nutritious food with an abundance of flavors. Their vegan cheese is out of this world, the best I’ve tried, made the sandwich so unique. The smoothies very refreshing, not too sweet, just perfect. (The one with the mint was my favorite). Nice cozy place; I will revisit it if we ever come to Tenerife again.
