Amazing food, best place around!

We visited twice in a 4 night stay in Puerto de la Cruz on our first & last night. We would of come more but it was only open Weds-Sunday!

There was so much choice & everything was so good.

Seitan mushroom stack, tempeh salad, soup, cheeseboard, hummus plate, black ravioli, cauliflower cheese, chocolate mousse. It was all incredible. We loved it - my husband said he didn't want the black ravioli dish to end!

Staff were very nice, especially a Dutch girl who served us both times.

If we ever come to Tenerife again will be back!

Sehr lecker.

Das Manipura bietet viele leckere vegane Gerichte. Man kann sehr schön draußen in der Gasse sitzen.

Pros: Auswahl, Ambiente , Team

Lots of options

There are a lot of options to choose from. We had the tempeh salad, the chicken salad and the seitan mushroom stack. Everything was good but a little bland. The staff was really nice!

Better looking than tasting

Everything sounded great, it was hard to choose. And everything looked great, but then... Meh. Not bad obviously, but what I tried was bald. I ordered the saffron and mushrooms arancini (didn't taste the saffron or the mushrooms) and the pasta with meatballs, which was strange because the pasta was homemade but the meatballs were not.

Pros: Staff was very nice, Only vegan place in town open for dinners

Fantastic

100% plant based menu with a great selection. We had the cauliflower cheese and cheese platter starters, a classic burger, seitan stack, mushroom and truffle tagliatelle and (no)meatballs and polenta for mains and a tiramisblu and chocolate mousse to finish. Service and presentation was great and the food was all delicious

Pros: Great variety, Good drink options, 100% plant based

A great find

Had a lovely meal last night at Manipura and we fully intend to return. The menu was really varied and everything we had was tasty and beautifully presented. Stand out was the (cashew) cheese selection starter - heaven. The staff were incredibly friendly and the prices were very reasonable, highly recommended.

Fabulous

This place is very deserving of the hype. Great atmosphere, amazing choice, and delicious fresh food.
I had the cauliflower cheese to start which was creamy and flavourful. For the main I had the pumpkin ravioli recommended by our server, which was incredible, soft and perfectly seasoned. For desert I went for the panacotta which was lovely and sweet (could have eaten a few though!) The red wine served by the glass was also great and very drinkable.

Pros: Wide variety of options, Fresh delicious food, Friendly staff and atmosphere

Cheezus christ!

Honestly some of the best vegan food I've had in years. The cauliflower cheese was perfect - my first in over a decade and it's even better than I remember, and the Mushroom & Truffle Tagliatelle was to die for. Great selection of wines also, and the white was super tasty.

All vegan

My dish was the pear risotto, and honestly the taste was a bit bland, the same with the filling of the mushroom croquettes. My friend had the pulled jackfruit burger, which looked very nice and the taste was fine. The home made of the day was delicious. The ‘tiramiblu’ a bit flat in taste. But nice environment and good service!

Edit 14-03: we went back by the end of the week because we liked the environment and the menu. The red gnocci was also a bit bland, the no chicken burger was very nice. The desserts were fine! (Choco mousse and cashew cake)

Pros: All vegan, Service, Big menu

A (vegan) gem of a place

So me and my wife are in Tenerife on holiday and via Happy Cow found Manipura plant based restaurant, and wow how glad we did. Firstly the food is the best vegan food I've ever tasted in 9 years as a vegan, we've visited twice this week and between us, have had 4 mains, Classic Burger and Spaghetti and Meatballs for me and Mushroom/truffle tagliatelli and Chorizo Risotto for my wife, and we loved every mouthful, so flavourful and fresh. We also had starters and desserts over the two visits, each exceptional too. But what top off and made our visit special were the staff, what a fantastic couple of front of house staff, so attentive, polite, funny and prefect hosts. Very reasonably priced, really all compliments to the chefs and staff. Wish we weren't going home tomorrow, I'd have tried everything on the menu. If you a vegan, try Manipura in Puerto de la Cruz,, you won't be disappointed. Oh and Hot Chocolate for starter isnt weird....... Is it?

Pros: Amazing staff , Incredible food

Manipura

It was really good! I spent so long deciding what to have from so much good options.
We are going tonight for a second night in a row.
We ate pumpkin soup (seasonal soup) jackfruit burger, cheesecake. I will try something else tonight.

Delicious vegan dishes

We visited Manipura twice in January 2025 and loved it. They have an extensive menu of starters, salads, pastas, risottos, burgers and desserts. Everything we tried was delicious and we also enjoyed the wine that was available by the glass. The server was lovely - very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Muy bueno

La comida muy buena de estilo italiani a precio estándar. Tardaron bastante en servir pero es verdad que había bastante gente y no paraban de salir platos, así que no creo que se pudiese hacer de otra forma.

Buen restaurante vegano.

La comida es deliciosa, se nota que utilizan buenos ingredientes. La hamburguesa estaba sabrosa, con el pan recién hecho. Y los demás platos de la carta también están muy bien.
Tardan un poquito en servir, pero se debe a la dedicación con la que elaboran la comida.
El ambiente es agradable, tanto en la terraza que es una calle tranquila, como dentro del local. El personal es atento y amable.

Pros: La comida , La presentación de los platos , El ambiente

Unbelievably tasty vegan pasta! This has got to be the best vegan cheese I have ever tasted, with a cheese board and cauliflower cheese being the starters we tried.
Pasta was creative and tasty and will definitely be coming back.

Very nice food and good service

All the dishes we ate were very good and the people working there were very kind and helpful. If you are not looking for a Michelin restaurant with candle light atmosphere, this is your place!
