Oldest (and no longer only) vegetarian restaurant in town - Edit
Update December 22
Read moreLittle had changed at El Limon since our visit a year ago apart from the prices finally increasing during this stay. However, there were now two new vegan restaurants in town to try so El Limon became our fall back option only. It would be lovely to see this long standing restaurant move a little with the times, perhaps reducing its large but not very varied menu and introducing more exciting flavours to some of its dishes.
We have been visiting Puerto de la Cruz on and off for over 15 years and El Limon was where we ate on our first visit and was still a regular dining option on our latest visit (Dec 21). Little has changed aver the years - not the décor or the menu and possibly not even the prices. It is generally reliable and inexpensive but not very exciting food. However, its longevity (since the 1990s) suggests it has found a winning formula and certainly it has outlived all the other vegetarian and vegan restaurants there have been in the town over the years. One of the best value options is the 'menu del dia' which comes in two sizes - approx 10.70/7.50 euros - and comprises soup, main course, dessert and fresh smoothie. The soup and juice tend to remain the same but the main course and dessert vary daily. They don't advertise the daily choices but we were happy to be surprised each time. Vegans would need to check the options before ordering.

Great place decent food - Edit
What a beautiful place! A veggie restaurant in the seaside village, very cozy and sweet. The burgers and salad are delicious, very good price. Fantastic to see a vegetarian place so big and so beautiful, always full of people and good vibes.

Not great - Edit
Food not special at all. I had the menu vegano. Seitan bocadillo was wet and soggy. The male staff member who served me was unfriendly and barely spoke to me. Not clear what’s vegan unless you check the allergens. There is much better vegan food in Puerto de la Cruz.

Eine gute Vegane Option - Edit
Das Essen war ok. Die hausgemachten Kroketten sind lecker ( aber Vorsicht , nicht vegan es ist Käse drinnen)
Read moreVom Filet Steak sehr enttäuscht. Es war eher wabbelig und wässrig eine Konsistenz wie Fleischkäse und der Spinat kam in Kroketten Form. Der Salat war ohne Dressing auch nur so halb ok.
Die Burger und Sandwich sind lecker
Pros: Man kann drinnen und draußen sitzen , Preis Leistung

Delicious - Edit
Very tasty, good value food. Highlight was the burgers. We tried the soya options as well as the veggie burger and they were both delicious. The pictures of the food really does not do this place justice. Their flavours are great. Service was very friendly and a relaxing place to eat either during the day or for dinner.

very nice veggie place - Edit
lovely little full vegetarian restaurant. i had the vegan tofu burger, which was excellent. i came with meat eaters: two had the pink burger (vegetarian) and absolutely loved it, plus the burgers were rather cheap. however my father had the avocado salad which was good but there was little to eat for the price paid: that made for a good but light meal.
Read morewe also shared the hummus and avocado nachos, which were great. the juices and smoothies are freshly made and very tasty, and the waitress was super nice!
would definitely come back and recommend !!
Pros: lots of vegan options, cheap!
Cons: none!

Overrated - Edit
We had the vegan bowls and they put so much oil in them that it was just tasteless. They also did not want that we pay separately.

Vegetarian place with vegan options - Edit
In the heart of Puerto de la Cruz, you can find this lovely establishment.
Read moreTheir menu is mainly vegetarian with many vegan options as well. Maybe they don’t have the most original and inspiring dishes but the food is tasty nonetheless.
I tried the vegan menu that consists of a seitan sandwich with fries and a smoothie.
Friendly and fast service and staff knows what vegan means.
They have tables outside as inside as well.
Prices are more than reasonable too!

Vegan options could be better indicated - Edit
Had a tasty dinner here consisting of a banana soup and a burger. The food was great but it’s a bit difficult to find vegan options on the menu. Many items can be veganised but you have to ask about the specific dish to get that information. I also found it odd that the bill can only be payed in total and you can’t split it up it you come with a group of people.
Read morePros: Tasty food, Dishes can be veganised
Cons: Can’t split bill, Vegan options could be better marked

Left Hungry and Unassisted - Edit
The only menu visible is in Spanish. I asked the servers multiple times for an English menu, and was told to look online. The website link didn't work, so I asked again and was rebuffed several times and referred to the Spanish menu. After sitting waiting for interaction by servers, being ignored, and trying to get help to order, I left hungry and frustrated. Lack of communication and service. Sadly, I don't know Spanish and was unable to translate, and they didn't accommodate for English speaking tourists.
Read moreCons: No menu in English and no help from staff., Had to leave hungry after waiting half an hour., Attempts to get help and an English menu rebuffed.
