Soooo good

We had the Hummus and Caprese salad as starters. The hummus was good but nothing special but the caprese salad was so good, the basil oil matched perfectly to the homemade mozzarella (may the best vegan cheese i've ever had?).
As Main dishes we had the vegetable paella which was also very good and smashed Cheeseburger with truffle mayo and a beyond beef patty, the potatoes on side were so crunchy.
The tropical cheesecake and tiramisu as dessert were also very nice, tiramisu had a vanilla flavour which i never had before but liked very much.

We struggeld a bit to find the place, its on the inside of the shopping center. The people are so nice and they had good music playing in the background

Oh so friendly

The guys here have so much energy. Positive vibes. Delicious grub. I had soy/potato/ polenta. He had heura paella. We both enjoyed a special cocktail (kombucha, cava and Cointreau). We had a cheeseboard starter to share as our pudding having been puddinged out earlier in the day at inner you! A complementary lemoncello sweetened the 70e bill. Worth every penny. Oh - and we were greeted with hot salty popcorn - just what we needed after a hot December day!

In the middle of a quiet shopping centre but can still sit outside.

Absolutely fantastic!

After eating pretty much just bread and tomato for 4 days in a row, we finally managed to go to this fantastic 💯% vegan restaurant - located inside the Fañabé shopping mall 🌱
Not only did we order food to take away for the following day as well, so fabulous everything was, but we also went back with friends on our last evening! 😃
Pity it was a short holiday, otherwise we would have visited even more often!
Chef Alessia is extremely talented and Luca (pastry chef but also waiter) and Andrea (waiter) made us feel right at home the first evening.
During the second visit there was the fourth owner as well (Edoardo maybe? Not 100% sure about his name - waiter too) and we received again excellent service and amazing food.
Lovely people, pretty and cozy place, superb food! 🥰

Pros: Food, Friendliness of staff, Basically everything

What a meal!

To start the staff were impeccable! Full of joy good vibe! Than the food was delicious! Balanced! Made with love, hearth and intelligence. Their vegan version of tiramisu it was mind-blowing the mousse was spongy, fluffy, light, fat and sweet like a real mascarpone mousse! Well done! You don't need to make 50 different dishes without flavour like other many restaurants! You just need to make a few but well done! Thank you for the experience!

Pros: Happy staff, Delicious food

Best food in Adeje

Best food we had in Tenerife and that’s coming from vegans and non vegans . We went for two dinners and 1 lunch in a week which says it all . Staff really care about what they do and all the food is lovely and fresh , bought at a local market on a daily basis.

Best meal in Tenerife

Fresh and tasty food. We went twice in the evening and had amazing meals. 2 or 3 course with so much fresh vegetables. With a few non-vegans raving about the food they received.

They are usually fully booked, especially now with them closing for a couple of weeks and March 25th being their last day open. Maybe the empty tables you saw were already booked and there wasn't enough time to be seated until the party that booked would arrive?

We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. As you have surely noticed, we do not have many tables, and for this reason, we strongly recommend reservations on every social media and website. Clearly, if we told you there was no room, it's because the tables you saw "free" were reserved for other customers. The fact that you were told there would be a one-hour wait for take-away is because, evidently, that was the wait time. Unfortunately, we do not have a separate kitchen for take-away; there is only one cook, and priority is given to serving the tables. For this reason, sometimes we do not offer take-away at all. The advice is to reserve, not just with us, but everywhere. Warm regards.

What a place!

The patio is nice and quiet and the staff was super friendly. I had beetroot carpaccio and tiramisu and the dessert was the best tiramisu I‘ve ever had. It‘s not a cheap place to eat, but definitely worth it!

Amazing Italian Food

Lovely people and lovely food. Definitely one of the highlights of our holiday! We had caprese salad to share, the very nice paella and the special which was a delicious courgette risotto. The service was friendly and fast and the dessert was incredible, so nice to be able to have a vegan tiramisu and possibly the best cheesecake I’ve ever eaten. We also had a free shot of limoncello each which was delicious. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Tenerife!!

Pros: Delicious food , Friendly staff , Great atmosphere

Cons: Nothing

Delicious

Tried the watermelon carpaccio, lasagna and truffle burger. The lasagna was not my favorite, I prefer them more cheesy but still very good! The watermelon carpaccio was phenomenal and felt scarily real. My boyfriend loved the burger, he said it was the best one he ever had!! I liked the burger too, but I think I would prefer the cheeseburger.

Couldn’t leave Tenerife without trying the double cheeseburger so we came back. I surprisingly did prefer the truffle one more. Something about the cheeseburger sauce wasn’t my favorite. But it’s still a really delicious burger!!!

Great food!

Burger:
I loved the Truffle Beyond Burger. In my past 10 years as a vegan and loads of different beyond burgers this one was standing out. The truffle sauce and the shitake mushrooms made it feel luxurious and really changed the taste. Furthermore often beyond patties are way smaller than the bread, resulting in meatless burgers on the sides and a chunk of beyond in the middle. Here they had it smashed so it filled out the bread. The cheese was also great.

Lasagna:
I think it had too little bechamel sauce. Whilst the tomato sauce was perfect the lasagna lacked the cheesieness.

The watermelon starter was great but lacked some base. Like a bit of bread with olive oil or so.

In total great experience.

Updated from previous review on 2024-09-06

Pros: Smashed Beyond meat filling out the bread
