You're in Spain, land of jamón, where it can be difficult to find decent vegetarian/vegan food even in the capital city. Of course, I made the same mistake twice, but it was worth sitting near the kitchen to try out the hummus and the San Jacobo, filled with seitan, mushrooms, and a kind of vegetable pâté and down two glasses of utterly delicious orange juice. For those Mexican-food-loving-expats, the "Combinación Azteca" (burritos, jalapeños, and guac) isn't too shabby. The wonderful array of salads would be best for you folks who want something lighter; my faves are the Casablanca (with couscous) and the Refrescante, which really IS as refreshing as it purports to be. Unfortunately, Vegaviana isn't too easy on the pocketbook, so I'd suggest getting the lunch deal at around 9,-EUR. restaurant macrobiotic vegetarian chueca organic veggie vegan 40.423412 -3.698208 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 01:38:58 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/2176-vegaviana-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/8313-al-natural-madrid-spain Brown C.

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.

I was cranky from the heat, and weary of all the ham that would always find its way into my meals. A chance left turn onto a side street led me to dinner to this restaurant, whose welcome was more memorable than its menu, although I did have a delicious gazpacho-like soup, ON THE HOUSE. I went twice during that week-long stay in the capital, but I think another visit will soon be in order to see whether or not they're still as accommodating, and if they've become more gastronomically inspired. restaurant vegetarian vegetarian madrid 40.4163246155 -3.6988880634 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 20:19:45 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1422-artemisa-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/2776-el-granero-de-lavapies-madrid-spain c restaurant vegetarian lavapiés nonpretentious vegetarian vegan-friendly 40.408181 -3.699118 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 11:58:04 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/2776-el-granero-de-lavapies-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/2768-naturasi-madrid-spain c A fortuitous encounter in the land of ham. NaturaSí stocks tofu, seitan, tempeh, quinoa, pita--basically anything "weirdly" vegetarian/vegan/environmentally-friendly and organic that you'll have a tough chance finding elsewhere at a decent price, including vitamins and beauty products and of course, the most important of food items, ICE CREAM. The produce section leaves much to be desired, so perhaps you might opt for a market or (gasp!) El Corte, even. Arguelles branch is small but its aisles well-marked; if you can't find anything, one of the harrassed-looking but ultimately friendly employees will point you in the right direction. There are two other branches in town in Salamanca (C/Montesa 31) and next to the Santiago Bernabeu stadium (C/Doctor Fleming 1).

The lunch specials are only available on the weekdays, but we decided to go in, enticed by the very colorful menu and wonderful photographs, enhanced by the very vivid green and orange interior. (If any space oozed vegetarian, this was it.) It was Saturday lunchtime, and good thing we had reservations; 10 minutes or so after we entered, people kept piling in, and for a reason...everything on the menu was mouth-watering, but we both finally decided on some interesting cheesy spinach and mushroom "crepes," which looked more like calzones. Pricey, but filling, I think I'll go back again sometime during the week and see what's on hand for their ever-rotating specials. restaurant vegetarian vegan-friendly sol vege centro ópera 40.4163703918 -3.7077600956 Tue, 18 Dec 2007 13:43:22 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/1845-yerbabuena-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/2304-el-rincon-madrid-spain c cafe terraza malasaña bar nonpretentious juan_pujol vegetarian vegan-friendly 40.425388 -3.70374 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 22:31:52 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/2304-el-rincon-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/2291-pepe-botella-madrid-spain c cafe malasaña bar nonpretentious vegetarian vegan-friendly 40.426595 -3.70377 Sat, 10 Nov 2007 02:53:56 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/2291-pepe-botella-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/2145-la-bio-tika-madrid-spain c restaurant groceries macro huertas vege bio vegan macrobiotic vegetarian vegan-friendly 40.413259 -3.698286 Fri, 19 Oct 2007 23:10:08 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/2145-la-bio-tika-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/1846-ecocentro-madrid-spain c restaurant groceries vege bio vegetarian vegan-friendly 40.4428291321 -3.7051019669 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 04:49:43 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1846-ecocentro-madrid-spain http://tupalo.com/spot/1394-maoz-vegetarian-madrid-spain Mike Cheap and fat falafel sandwich with an all you can pack in salad buffet?
