I visited this restaurant when they were still in Zaragoza( in the Aragon region of northeastern…read moreSpain) but It looks like since then the restaurant as moved to Bilbao in Basque country (current correct new address is : Maiatzaren Biko Kalea, 18, Ibaiondo, 48003 Bilbao, Bizkaia, Spain). La Piparra was serving traditional Spanish food with vegan/ vegetarian options. My meal here included a tortilla Española vegana with zucchini and red pimento peppers, migas con chorizo vegano, and another delicious veggie take on pickled boquerones made with pickled zucchini squash, all of course served with fresh bread. For dessert: a baked vegan cheesecake. This was such a fun and delicious meal. All spanish here, no english-- at least when I was here in July 2023 in the old location in Zaragoza. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

Warning: the food takes a loooooong time so don't wait until you're too hungry before you come…read more The good news is there is free WiFi and a bookshelf of books to keep you busy while you wait for your food. The menu is only in Spanish, but they use typical ingredients so it's fairly easy to read and understand. The prices are very reasonable. Don't get your heart set on ordering something you saw on their Instagram, because those are all daily specials. (I'm talking to myself here) They don't bring you water until you've been waiting quite awhile, so if you want water right away, make sure you specifically request it. They serve beer and wine, espresso drinks, and sodas. There are coat racks, and the bathrooms are clean and well-stocked. Another warning: the light in the bathroom turns off before you're finished, so you might be peeing and trying to find toilet paper in the dark. Soooo that's a fun adventure.

While this is indeed a vegetarian restaurant (in the back), it's also a cafe, bar, and tiny vegan…read moregrocer (in front). My review is for the El Brote Vegetal, which is the name they call the front area. We ordered soya cafe con leches (which is spanish for soy lattes). They were smaller than the lattes you get in the states. I'd consider them more capaccino-sized, but they were very tasty. We also purchased some violife cheese, some soyrizo, and some flavored baked tofu to take home. The fridge where they have vegan foods for sale is small, but very inclusive. They didn't have wifi, so we didn't stay long, but I would definitely recommend this place to any vegans passing through Zaragoza.

My favorite restaurant in Zaragoza! Highly recommend the menu del dia…read more I had the salmorejo with pesto pasta and hard boiled quail eggs, the gallineta (fish), and vegan ice cream! Their dishes are unique but Spanish inspired and they use the freshest produce of the season. Wine, bread, and water are included as well. Make a reservation if you're coming with a group of people!

The decor in this place is super cute! I think I even spotted a unicorn poster in the back kitchen…read morearea. I wish I could've stayed and enjoyed the ambience longer, but they were closing when I arrived so I had to order and run. I'm hoping it was the we're-about-to-close-for-the-afternoon panic that caused the staff's rudeness, so that nobody else has to experience being treated like a child when they go there. But I didn't let it get me down, because VEGAN DESSERTS! There was a good variety of vegan things: 1-2 cookies, a cake, and a cupcake. I of course ordered one of each because I'm kind of (okay fine, completely and totally) a sweets addict. The cookie was chocolate with chocolate chips, and sadly it tasted a bit too healthy for my taste. I'm not into places that offer a vegan option that's always void of salt or sugar or anything delicious because they think vegans just eat celery. The cookie was too hard, dry, and not sweet enough. The cupcake was a carrot cupcake, which is one of my favorite flavors! Sadly, it tasted hard and dry. It tasted the way my cupcakes taste after 3 days of sitting out. When I go to a grocery store, I expect to maybe not get the freshest baked goods, but this was a bakery! They specialize in baked goods! Why would they sell us something that was 3 days old without a warning? And not only that, but they tried to upsell us a second one! We ordered only one, because we were already ordering numerous other things, and the guy told us that he had another one if we wanted it. He was trying to get us to buy not one, but 2 of his 3-day old cupcakes at full-price! WTF! I haven't tried the third item yet which is an apple tart, but honestly, I don't really have high hopes. If you're looking for a dry stale baked good that you can dip in coffee or tea, then this place is for you. If you're looking for quality vegan baked goods, keep looking.

The strangest location ever to stop for lunch, but a girl really doesn't mind as long as you feed…read moreher. Ha! This one doesn't mind, anyway. Literally in the middle of nowhere, the hotel in which Goya is located as well as the bloc of adjacent hotels just suddenly appear out of thin air as you drive closer. Very square, very mod, and in such a crazy color palette. Where are we, Legoland? The buffet options are very limited and are pretty so-so in my humble opinion. The food is really nothing to write all the way home from Spain. But when you have to feed 1,800 people I guess we can't be too picky on every single stop. The "meat" is pretty bland and I'm not even 100% sure it IS meat. It reminded me of Vegan style because of the texture and super thin slices. However, service is ridiculously on point. Totally unexpected! Staff is really friendly and helpful even though this is a buffet setup. Despite the crazy chaos of lunchtime, they are able to manage the entire crowd and still project a calm vibe. Wouldn't come here again for a return visit but at least if you eat here you can leave full, although maybe not too satisfied. DATE TIP: Who likes bland questionable meat? Nobody.
