The owners need to fix the opening time on Google. The kitchen is closed from 4pm-8pm. If you arrive during that time and inform the staff that their website states otherwise, they nonchalantly respond "well...this is Spain". When I went another time, I had the beet hummus and guacamole. It was simply ok. The guacamole, however, was overwhelmingly sweet. I don't know why guacamole needs an added sweetener. When I had finished my dish, I waited close to 45 mins for a waiter to come to my table and ask me if I wanted dessert. After waiting for so long, I decided to just go to the bar and request my bill. The service is horrible. The wait staff were too busy eating their food at the bar and conversing amongst themselves to do their actual job and tend to their customers. But, hey! This is Spain. read more

Vega is the loveliest vegan restaurant I've ever been to. For a table, definitely make a reservation because this the secret is out and this place fills quickly. We sat at the bar and watched as each dish came out of the kitchen looking like a work of art. Colorful vibrant plant based food with great service, this place made me feel right at home in the best way possible even though I was thousand of miles from home. We loved the chilled avocado soup, creamy eggplant croquettas and wine. Highly recommend! read more

This was a good vegan spot but the time was off and we arrived at 4:30pm. The waiter could not unfortunately offer us entree meals so we just ordered appetizers. I really enjoyed the cauliflower soup and aguacate appetizer. I do not recommend the kombucha, it was not original kombucha - lots of sugar and I would recommend going after 8:00pm only. read more

I headed to the hipster Vega least night with a hungry vegetarian friend. It was great! There's cold mahoo (beer) on tap, and a nice range of local craft beers. I tried and enjoyed the malasaña, a crisp lager. If you're not up for booze, the bar was also serving home made lemonade and hibiscus drinks. We shared a mixed appetizer: delicious beetroot dip and two other small dishes that stood in its shaddow. I had the grilled parillada veggies with chimichurri for my entrée, which was delicious and filling. My friend has setan, which he enjoyed, but i'm not a fan. The desserts looked great too, but we were too full. read more

Great vegan reataurant. Wonderful food for vegans and omnivores alike. The staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. read more

Vega - Vegan Near Me - Madrid, M

There are actually two VEGA restaurants in Madrid. One is on calle Luna, the other on calle Alamo. We went to both. The main restaurant, which is cozy and charming (on Luna) was good. I enjoyed the "golden milk" (coconut milk, turmeric and cinnamon I believe) and the beet veggie burger I got. The waiter was a sullen millennial who didn't know squat about the wines he served and was moody and unfriendly, but the food was pretty good. Now, if you want to eat before they open at 8, they will direct you to their other location on Alamo; DON'T GO!!! I mean it. This place was awful. Again, a foolish millennial was the waiter, but the food was worse than bad. I ordered the same drink and they botched it beyond recognition. It had at least 2 TABLESPOONS of powdery turmeric powder in the bottom and tasted like shit. That's a pretty pricey 5 euro shitty drink. I got the "meatball" dish and it was so salty, I could barely stand it. The onion soup was semi tasty, but again, too much salt! Who ever is overseeing the second restaurant has work to do! Clearly they saw a way to get more money by having a less charming place (looks like a fast food restaurant) open for tourist who want to eat before 8 which is obviously neglected in terms of oversight. read more

Vegan, excellent. Started with Asian Sauerkraut and Beetroot Hummus. Both excellent. Quinoa Salad as a main dish. Mushroom Croquettes and Patatas as tapas. Patatas was a huge serving. Lassi of Carrot and Orange to finish the meal off. Very good overall. read more

A Madrid friend brought me here and what a find. Vega is on a small street. The interior is also small but I would use the description cozy to go along with the friendly staff. It is a vegan's nervana. The chef creates meals that would be the envy of any eater with fresh ingredients, complimentary sauces, and artistic presentation. Downside: other people know about Vega... lots of others so it can be crowded. With gratitude and best wishes, Elin read more

I have had some good food during my 3 weeks in Madrid, but the very best were the mushroom croquettes at Vega. There is no A/C, but once you get inside (there is typically a wait outside), it's quite comfortable. A policy that I love, is that when you come alone, they will seat you at a table with other solo diners, so that you are able to meet new people. I have one more week here, and plan on returning to try the menu of the day, recommended highly by the server/bartender I had the last time I went. Super nice! read more

Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Authentic vegan cuisine. I had the tomato carpaccio, grilled veggies with chimichurri, and an iced infusion of rose hip. Enjoyed every bite & sip. Recommended! read more

Great food!! It's a welcome change from all of the meat in Madrid... However the service is dreadful! They will not take your order for a long time and will ignore you The Lunch menu of the day is a good price! read more

As a vegetarian, it is tricky to find veggie friendly tapas places in Spain, however Vega was a great option! It is a cozy little space that is very hip, and we came here for dinner and did not regret it. We had the ceviche, and a quinoa dish both plentiful and delicious between 3 people. All reasonable prices with a very friendly staff. Good and reasonably priced drinks as well. Great choice for vegetarians and vegans. read more

My friends and I started with the 'patatas asadas' that come with two sauces and the mushroom 'croquetas'. Both options are a great way to start I specifically fell in love with the croquetas! They're perfectly crunchy and have the perfect sauce. I then ate the Vegetable Tikka Masala with black rice. It was full of flavor, it's a bit spicy (I love spicy) and it had a nice surprise in it: papaya slices! It was nice because every now and then you would get a refreshing bite, a break from the spicy. I recommend that plate for sure. My boyfriend ordered the soy meatballs with quinoa spaghetti and of course I tried it, super good!!!!! Most of my friends ordered that so it seems that that is the famous plate to order. For dessert we had chocolate mousse of course and it was AMAZING. We also had a dessert that came with a red icecream and it had some kind of pink mousse, I dont remember the name but it comes in a cup so its like a "crema en una copa". If you want to try a different dessert this would be your choice! It was perfect, smooth, crunchy, perfect. read more

Vega - Tikka Masala - Vegan Near Me - Madrid, M

Delicious! Vegan everything! A little slow but that's understandable for the tiny kitchen and the small place. The food was amazing. Definitely try the croquetas! It was a tad more expensive than we expected at €48 but it was worth it for the great food! read more

Absolutely delicious and healthy food is possible. It can be a little noisy and crowded but not too bad. Desserts are also great. They have a daily menu for 8 euros read more

Make a reservation. They ARE booked when they say so. If you see that the place is empty, it's because the kitchen is not open yet since, like many places in Spain, the establishment stays open for drinks. For example, dinner does not begin until 8:30pm; this gives the kitchen time to prep but you can still order drinks. That said, the food is fantastic and the staff are great. read more

Tried to go here for dinner during our visit to Spain. Did not get to try the food. Upon entering, we noticed many empty tables with no signs on the tables. So we asked the bartender if we can sit or if we can wait. All he said was the place was "fully booked" and that we could not eat there on that day. He did not ask us to come back. Lack of customer service. Did not deserve my money. read more

For context, I have a severe dairy allergy. I was able to eat a wide variety of items from the menu but had an allergic reaction to one item on the dessert menu. When I asked if they could double check to see what happened management became combative and swore up and down that there was no dairy and told me "that's bullshit". Not coming back. read more

This place is amazing the chef had experimented true vegan recipes that are amazing. Very healthy, organic and tasty. Hidden gem in Madrid

Vegan tapas are delicious at Vega. The mushroom croquettes and the peppers with cherries were my favorite, but everything on the menu that I tried was very tasty so it would be hard to go wrong. Just make sure to reserve since they are booked almost every single night. read more

Service is excellent and friendly, great atmosphere. However, vegetarian options were lacking in flavor. The ceviche was onion heavy, and left us desiring the citrus and lightness of a traditional ceviche. read more

I got the vegetarian ceviche and liked it a lot! Unique menu, lots of options for vegetarians/vegans/raw food eaters. I'd go back again!

Had a wonderful little lunch with 3 friends here. Good location, central, easy-to-find and the restaurant itself has a relaxed ambience. Friendly service. I thoroughly enjoyed my veggie roast dish and my friend loved her soup. They forgot to charge us for an item and when I pointed it out to them, they offered us free shots as a show of thanks. Recommended! read more

The best vegan meal I had in Madrid - was so happy to be recommended this place. Beautiful atmosphere within the restaurant and the guys who worked there were so kind. Had the roasted vegetables with chimichurri and it was so delicious. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great healthy meal in meat centric Madrid. read more

Super cozy and rustic vegan restaurant. They were super nice because we got there early to eat but they kitchen wasn't open. So they gave us plenty of appetizers and great beer. Once the kitchen open, we had some great vegan food. I had the delish green curry and a great quinoa salad. Their house bread was also excellent. read more

Pretty good food! Only complaint I have was I ordered some seitan one time in a falafel, and it was wayyyyyy to salty I couldn't finish it.

Had a lunch here with my daughter. I've eaten at many vegan restaurants in NYC and Philadelphia and Vega in Madrid is fantastic! Great appetizers, main courses and desserts. I had the Tikki Masala with black rice which was savory and very tasty. My daughter had the tofu satay dish which was excellent too. The "Black Forest Glass" dessert was awesome. Impressive. Great service too. Best restaurant experience during my two weeks in Spain! read more

I LOVED this place. Great vegan or vegetarian food is not always easy to find, I walked by this place by chance and it looked so nice from the outside I had to go in. I am traveling alone and finding places to eat where you can sit by yourself and read in peace without feeling awkward can sometimes be tricky. I had the seitan which was great, so was the wine I was recommended. The service was amazing and they made me feel very welcomed and I ended up staying for a couple of hours. read more

veeeeery tasty food for a fair price. nice atmosphere - since it's hard to live vegan in madrid, this place is even greater! definitely worth a visit, also for vegetarians and non-vegan people read more

We showed up a little early and the kitchen was not open yet. The waiter informed us that they were all booked for the night but offered to find space for us at the bar. We ordered some wine while waiting and the waiter brought us some olives to snack on. Once we ordered we were immediately rewarded for our patience! The food came out quickly and everything we got was superb! We choose the sauerkraut, pâté, and beet hummus for an appetizer. The cold roasted tomato soup was creamy and refreshing. The tomato carpaccio was definitely the highlight. We almost ordered a second one! I'll be back for sure. read more

We came across Vega by chance, and what a great find! This vegan restaurant is small and looks rather dated but was only opened in January 2015. The food, particularly the seitan, was tasty, well presented and the best we have eaten in Spain. We will definitely go again when next in Madrid. read more
