Posto perfetto per mangiare in zona - Edit
Ci sono stato tutte le volte che sono tornato a Madrid ed é sempre un piacere. Si può provare il tipico panino con i calamari fritti in versione vegana, la Torriana e tante altre cose.

Not really impressed - Edit
A bit disappointed by the curry reheated in micro-wave oven. The staff was nice though.

Bland food but nice setting - Edit
Although the setting and staff were nice, the food that I ordered tasted rather bland. I had 'No pollo arepas' and Spanish tortilla. They both weren't as flavourful as I had hoped, so I felt a bit disappointed.
Read morePros: Nice setting , friendly staff
Cons: Bland-tasting, expensive

El cocido madrileño 😍 - Edit
Encantado con este sitio. Los días laborables tienen menú del día y me apetecía mucho probar el cocido. Me encanta el cocido, pero nunca lo había probado en el formato “madrileño”. Me gustó mucho, me sentó fenomenal. Reivindicar la cocina tradicional y ofrecerla en versión vegana me parece valioso. También hay que probar los bocadillos de pan de chapata, buenísimos, probé el de calamares y estaba genial. De postres, la tarta de queso también está espectacular. El local es pequeño, mejor ir con reserva, y la atención es rápida y muy amable.

One of the best tortillas in Madrid - Edit
If you're looking for a vegan restaurant in Lavapies, Viva Chapata is a great option. They started as a non-fully vegan restaurant many years ago but have since become fully vegan, which is fantastic.
Read moreWe tried the milanesa and the kebab. The food wasn't anything spectacular, but I have to say that they have one of the best vegan Spanish tortillas in Madrid.

Nice and cozy - Edit
We came at a bad time, since it was not lunch or dinner. Even then, they served us a nice tortilla, croquetas and calamares. The staff was really nice and friendly. Was not the greatest food in Madrid, but I’d definitely come back.

Not bad - Edit
I would say 3.5 stars is more accurate but I will round up. The food was decent but nothing too special. It’s got good selection of items. I had the gyoza and beyond burger. It was good but nothing life changing. Good service and nice area.

Amazing Capresse Focaccia - Edit
I love the atmosphere of Viva Chapata; it looks just like a typical tavern/bar de tapas in Madrid, but all the food is vegan. On top of that, their dishes are very good. I fell in love with their capresse focaccia (their home-made vegan mozzarella was absolutely perfect). Their Spanish tortilla is also great, though, to be honest, I don't like mixing the tortilla with the tomato sauce that comes with it; it'd prefer some natural tomato wedges as a side instead.

Nice, but not the best experience - Edit
Felt the staff wanted us to leave early to give the table to another couple, wich made our dinner a little unconfortable. Food was nice, we had milanesa and meatballs; both tasted great.

Gemütliche Atmosphäre, leckeres Essen - Edit
Die Atmosphäre gefiel uns sehr gut, das Essen war lecker und eher bodenständig - eben wie in einer Taverne. Das Menu del Dia ist wirklich empfehlenswert.

Great Vegan Find in Madrid - Edit
Another place that I found on Happy Cow! It is a very quaint little place in the Lavapies neighborhood with outdoor seating and lots of bar seating and tables indoors. They also have a wide variety of wines and liquors. I came at lunchtime, and they were still serving breakfast until 2:00 and also had a brunch and a la carte menu. If you are gluten-free, the options were a little bit limited, but everything was plentiful, flavorful, and beautifully plated. And the service was great. I highly recommend it.

Went back for their tortilla... bit disappointed versus the past but still a good option - Edit
I had in my mind some amazing memories of the first time I tried their tortilla and went back today and was a bit disappointed. Of course for the price you pay (5,5€) the portion is huge (that was basically a meal for me) and the service (from the ladies only, however...) is nice. I would say maybe try their vegan calamares bocata which is better.

Good simple breakfast spot - Edit
A more traditional casual restaurant with affordable bites. Came for a pincho de tortilla brekky (comes w a coffee or tea) and enjoyed it thoroughly. Food is simple and straightforward. Friendly atmosphere with many locals.

Average food, nothing special - Edit
The food was very average and missing a bit of "highlights".

There are certainly many better places to eat vegan food in Madrid.
The staff was however very friendly!

Incredible vegan tortilla - Edit
We had an excellent brunch at Viva Chapata, including a hot beverage, fresh orange juice, a yogurt/fruit and nuts bowl, a piece of Spanish tortilla, and a desert. Everything was delicious. The place is cute with a really nice atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We also tried croquettes de boletus, and it was delicious as well. We definitely have to go back because there were so many options that I wanted to try !

Restaurante vegano en Lavapiés - Edit
El platillo que probé (arepa de heura) estaba regular de sabor, sirven muy poco y el precio es caro para lo que es. El personal es muy amable. Por el precio y lo que dan, se encuentre cosas mejores veganas en otros restaurantes. Pagué 20euros por un plato de arepa y una limonada casera.
