Carta vegana y Servicio de calidad - Edit
Viva Chapata es la mejor opción si estás en la zona centro de Madrid. Su carta vegana y vegetariana presenta una diversidad de platos elaborados con mimo y con alimentos de primera calidad. Y por supuesto el servicio y la atención a la clientela es excelente haciendo de Viva Chapata un espacio acogedor donde comer muy bien y disfrutar de un ambiente cálido y divertido.

Original y ambiente agradable - Edit
Uno de mis sitios preferidos de Madrid. Tienen una carta variada, con opciones veganas y no veganas ideal para compartir unas tapas con amigos veganos y no veganos. La relación calidad-precio es muy buena, y siempre que he ido la atención ha sido exquisita. 100% recomendable si se busca un bar original sin precios que se suban a la parra.
Read morePros: Variedad de la carta, Amabilidad de los camareros
Cons: Que no haya más bares así en Madrid

Tasty tapas in Lavapiés - Edit
Nice place in Lavapiés with a fair list of tasty vegan tapas: hummus, mushroom croquettes, vegan Spanish omelette, sandwiches in ciabatta, small vegan pizzas, etc. Not the most original and exciting tapas of the world, but there are enough to choose and they taste great. A good bar to go with non-vegan friends and share the order.
Read morePros: fair range of vegan tapas
Cons: a bit pricey

Great place! - Edit
Great little place, with loads of vegan options. Everything was super tasty, and clearly marked on the menu, which made ordering a breeze compared to other experiences in Madrid. And there was plenty of gluten free options for me too. Service was nice enough, though they were rushed off their feet on a Saturday night, but they were efficient and the food came out promptly. Will definitely be back!

Carnivore bar with vegan products - Edit
Small bar near to Lavapies square with Mexican style. They serves meat but they have some vegan options as "tortilla de patata", etc.. Is not expensive.

Very veg*n-friendly, tasty & authentic food - Edit
Viva Chapata is one of the best places in Madrid to eat with mixed company (veg*ns and carnivores). The owner is very friendly and accommodating and speaks English, and the menu has many vegan and lacto-veg options, both of which are clearly marked, making it very easy to order.
Read moreI had the arepa vegana, which was very tasty, as well as a vegan tortilla (eggless omelette with potato), which was served with a nice tomato sauce. The salmorejo (cold tomato soup) is also exceptionally good here.
They don't serve fresh juices, but there's coffee with soymilk.
Sidewalk seating is a plus when the weather is nice.
Pros: Plentiful vegan options clearly marked, Very friendly service, Indoor and outdoor seating
Cons: No fresh juices, Not completely vegetarian

Everybody liked it! - Edit
Went here with a group of non vegetarians and everyone enjoyed their meals. Lots of vegan options, even more than many vegetarian restaurants. Highly recommend for a relaxed casual time with friends.

Yummy, Friendly.... - Edit
A great place to share with friends of all chosen "diets"...
Read moreI accidentally discovered a whole load of vegan options on the menu here last night (I'm sure they're a new/recent addition) when I was actually looking for another vegan place I couldn't find (got the street name mixed up)... so ended up here by chance and was so happy to see a selection of vegan options mixed up, as well as vegetarian options, in the menu of pizzas/chapatas/arepas/burgers/salads.
I was really excited about the vegan arepa (corn-based "round", typical from Colombia) since I frequent many Colombian restaurants and can never find a vegan option on the menu and have to eat them at home only. A whole load of extras piled on... however, I ended up with the tosta (toasted) which was a great choice, small but piled high with toppings and definitely filling. Good value too, at 4,6€ (terrace price)
It was the first time I've ever tasted vegan cheese, which was very tasty although I think it was a little strong for me so I may not choose that particular cheese next time. There is also vegan mozarella on the pizzas etc. so I'm looking forward to trying that on another occasion.
Also vegan mayonaise, and I think vegan tuna were options on some of the other choices.... I was eyeing up the chocolate cake for dessert but alas the euros didn't stretch - so it's just another great reason for me to go back again! Which will be as soon as I get some more money. I'm so happy to have found this great simple place in Lavapiés, and where I can also eat with friends who are not up for trying something vegan. For once I don't have to make do with chips, bread and tomato or simply nothing because that's all that's vegan on the menu!!!
Pros: reasonable vegan/vegetarian selection, tasty, friendly
