At 1,80-,EUR per 100 grams, it's not a bad deal, and I came away with a 7EUR lunch of tofu with onions, seitan to rival that of Vegaviana's, cherry tomatoes, and fried brown rice with mushrooms. Seating is limited, with what seems to be one table inside, and the counters and benches right outside of the shop. Viva la Vida is also a grocery shop, so if you're just popping in for some soy milk, here's your place. The lady working there was real nice, too. cafe vegetarian buffet take-away organic huertas vegan vegetarian buffet international vegan-friendly 40.413188 -3.696437 Fri, 16 May 2008 23:23:51 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/6612-viva-la-vida-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/6491-desnivel-madrid-spain c Off of the minisculte Plaza Matute and C/Huertas, Desnivel is the travel junkie's paradise, offering a wide selection of travel literature.

Zoe Cafe (ZKF) is one of those labyrinthine Madrid eateries that seems never-ending as you wind your way to your assigned table. Apparently inspired by Hamburg and Berlin cafes, Zoe offers a very chic "gastrocultural" experience; you can eat your healthy menu del dia while browsing the rotating exhibit, or the video installations projected onto the walls, or admire the stones set in various parts of the floor. And oh, yeah, the servers are ever so attentive, even when crushed by the lunch crowd. Recommended food: spring rolls and baba ganoush as appetizers and stuffed ravioli. Well, what the hay, I just want to eat everything (vegetarian) that I possibly can; everything is fresh and lip-smackingly delicious! restaurant friendly arty huertas 40.412646 -3.696362 Sun, 14 Oct 2007 23:39:20 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/2119-zoe-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/2108-casa-alberto-madrid-spain c Again, lots of stars for the atmosphere and its classic status.
