Wonderful

Great food, good size portions and really helpful staff. Not hte cheapest of restaurants but was difinitely worth it. Was very quiet on a Tuesday night when we visited and the waitress was incredibly attentive. Had a fantastic experience and wouldn't hesitate to return.

Pros: Great Food, Attentive service

Cons: Slightly pricey

No choice for vegans

This place looked attractive but there is no choice for vegans. After showing them my vegan passport (explains veganisms in many languages) they decided to offer me some sort of burger. The portions were tiny, the flavour bland and there was some sort of dressing on the side which looked distinctively 'dairy'. Won't be visiting again.

Pros: Bright, Clean

Cons: No knowledge of veganism

Nice place

Went here for a lateish evening meal (it opens at 9) and stayed quite a while. Good friendly service and excellent choice of dishes. Food was good standard and decent portions although the seitan escalope was a little rubbery - roquefort sauce was nicely piquant though. Dessert range slightly more limited and I skipped this course as they were out of my my chosen dish ( a sort of creme catalan). Overall would definitely recommend this place but wouldn't say it was spectacular. Also very centrally situated.

Pros: Good location, good range of dishes

Great presentation, food disappointed a little

I have just come back from a trip to Madrid with my girlfriend who is vegan. We went to this restaurant for a dress-up-nicely romantic meal! The place itself is a vivid shade of green and was very bright, so not quite the romantic feel we were after! The staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke English. The food ranged from very tasty asparagus bruschettas with aubergine puree to a really quite unpleasant mushroom risotto. The food also seems a bit re-heated, rather than nice and fresh, which was a shame. The presentation was out of this world, I have never seen so much visual effort put into vegetarian food. There were a number of vegan options. The wine list was small but the bubbly that we got was reasonably priced and very tasty. The overall bill was surprisingly high, but not unfair.

Pros: great presentation

Cons: quite pricey, quality of food varied

The Only *Must-Visit* Veg Restaurant in Madrid

Open 13:30-16:00 and 20:00-00:00

We visited six vegetarian restaurants in Madrid and this was, by far, by leaps and bounds the VERY, VERY best. Sadly this was the last place we ate but if it had been the first, we probably would not have gone anywhere else.

This is first-class, delicious food served with flair. My companion and I both had different items from the Menu Del Dia (for 12 Euro). The chef is a master of texture, colour, and flavour. Presentation of the food was perfect. We could not each have our own dessert and had to split one because the other courses were so filling.

The meal was started with bread and a little dish each of fresh hummus. It was capped off with a very rich, delicious-smelling tea. From start to finish it was simply, purely a delight.

The decor was different and much nicer than any other place we visited. It was bright, sunny, clean, and cheery. Music was Spanish and well-chosen. Great, easy-to-find location. English menus available (except for the set menu).

If I went back to Madrid, I would only eat here and at Maoz (for a light meal). I wish the proprietors of Yerbabuena a very, very long and fruitful career in the vegetarian restaurant business.

Pros: Fantastic Food, Incredible Value, A Perfect Ten!
