What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurante Vegetalia is highly praised for its abundant and delicious vegetarian buffet, offering a wide variety of fresh salads and hot dishes, with many vegan options. Diners appreciate the excellent value, especially during lunch hours, and the friendly, accommodating staff who are attentive to dietary needs. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, one reviewer found the vegan paella to be poorly cooked and of low quality, also noting the room was hot.
"Truly delightful! Restaurante Vegetalia is a buffet type restaurant filled with vegetarian deliciousness! Very reasonably priced (around 11€) for a plate which you can refill as many times as you like. There's a great variety of salads, breads and hot food options. They also do beautiful juices! I can't recommend this place enough."

The food is just full of flavour. Tastes very fresh the atmosphere feels very homely and welcoming. The fresh juices are an excellent pallet cleanser so you can get the full experience of all the flavours. would recommend it to any vegetarian and meat eater alike it is a must go to if you are in the area."
