Stuffed pepper was great!

Visited here a while ago when I was a vegetarian. Although felt a tad pricey, the generous portions made it worthwhile. I particularly enjoyed the stuffed peppers and possibly left resembling one...!

Cute little restaurant

I had a lovely meal here tonight. The property is cute and looks traditionally Spanish. I arrived at 8:30pm and was the only customer. At 9pm, lots of others started arriving. I had the cannelloni which was really delicious. The menu is large and varied, you'll be spoilt for choice!

Pros: Big portion, Great service , Vibrant atmosphere

Cons: It gets going late at night.

Lovely location and atmosphere but rather average food

This is a place that has been open for a long time and has a great atmosphere and outdoor seating in a quiet plaza. Staff is really friendly. Unfortunately food was rather average and too heavy (overuse of cream?). The battered seitan we tried could have been precooked rather than homemade.

Pros: Nice atmosphere, Outdoor seating, Friendly staff

Cons: Average food, Expensive

Delicious!

Me and my family had a great dinner. Even the non-vegetarians loved it. I think cannelloni was the tastiest. Definitely recommend!

Pros: Many dishes in the menu, Big servings, Kind staff

Cons: Prices are a bit high, but just a bit :)

Mítico en Madrid

Es un restaurante de esos que parece de toda la vida. Los platos están ricos, aunque no son novedosos.

Pros: Muchas opciones , Barato, Céntrico

Cons: Modernizaría algunos platos

This place was ok.

This place is situated on a lovely square. We went twice but weren’t very impressed by the food to be honest. We probably wouldn’t go back.

Amazing vegan Lunch!

The daily lunch menu is definitely the best value as you get 4 items for a price of 12€ and one single dish is around 10-12. I had a small salad with beans as a starter, and then the vegan burger.
The Burger was really delicious, the patty was very filling, the bread pretty thin so I was not TOO full in the end, just the right amount of everything. Super smokey as well, and it came with delicious bravas and juicy padrones, as well as smokey bell peppers and a creamy coleslaw. A dream!
There was no vegan dessert to choose from on the daily menu so I just had the coffee instead.
Some veggie items can be made vegan, just ask!

That part of Madrid was a bit more quiet and I really enjoyed the experience, will definitely come back!

Pros: tasty fresh food, good value for the menu

No está mal

Este sitio es vegetariano y no vegano, y tiene bastante competencia en la zona. Un día lo probé y salí contento, no es nada del otro mundo, y siendo vegano quizás no es el más conveniente, pero el sabor estaba bien. Lo llevan unos asiáticos así que tienen algunos platos asiáticos dignos de probar

Best veg lunches in Spain

Loved this place. Attentive friendly staff. Nice inside but brilliant on the Terrace in warm weather. It is so pleasant to sit down with a beer and chillied olives especially on the Terrace after walking around Madrid for a few hours. Sides and mains all great and amazingly the coffee was a good as anywhere in Madrid. Definitely recommended. Less than €8 for lunch

Pros: Tasty healthy food, Value for money, relaxing environment in beautiful plaza

Cons: Long way from Australia

Great options, good value

We stumbled upon this by accident, it's really cosy, we chose to sit inside and the decor is typical spanish not the fanciest but definitely seemed clean and the staff was friendly and dedicated to good service. The menu had lots of different options, so perhaps not the place to go for a veggie version of the Spanish kitchen but we definitely had some really good food. The prices are good and portions big, I'd recommend ordering a few different plates and then share everything amongst you.

Average food, limited vegan options

I ended up at El Estragon after trying to get to multimple other restaurants that were closed despite happycow saying they were open. So I started with exasperation. I was not impressed with the overall feeling of the restaurant, it is quaint but has a throwback quality that feels forced. The staff is very (too!) attentive and hovers while you eat. The food is unimaginative and mostly not very good. Like what a hospital would serve if it had vegan option in it's cafeteria. I would not recommend El Estragon unless you have literally no other options. There is another vegetarian places across the plaza that has very god opening hours.

Yes yes yes

Tried two vegan dishes on the menu as well as the sangria and two types of wine. All were extremely tasty, and the olives they give as the tapas are sooooo addictive! Would definitely recommend!!

Pros: Outdoor seating, Portions are big enough to share , Good food

Cons: Staff are not bad, slightly sassy to English speak

Overal a nice find

Nice restaurant with very large potions of vegetarian food.

We had the "menu del dia" which included pumpkin soup, big salade, chickpea burger and deserts.

We would have liked it if they would change the music from English to Spanish.

Cons: English music

went on a Thursday night

We went on a Thursday night and were the only guests. The service was fast but not particularly friendly and not responsive to questions about gluten free or vegan options. The portions were enormous (really was not needed to give sooo much food). My friends had lasagna and I had the Goulash with brown rice. The lasagna was oke but was build up mainly with tomato sauce. My brown rice was hard to chew and digest (probably not thoroughly cooked). The restaurant is on a nice plaza and is cozily decorated. Still I will not go back as the meals are just not hitting the mark.

Muy caro

Típico viejo restaurante ovo lacto vegetariano que lleva años sin actualizarse. MUY POCOS PLATOS VEGANOS. Servicio mediocre y caótico para lo desorbitadamente caro que es. Camareros que no saben que es vegano, se nota que les pagan muy poco. Mucha cantidad y buena elaboración de la comida, pero ni un solo ingrediente ecológico, ni el aceite de oliva.... Lo más sangrante: las ensaladas, 12 euros por una lechuga Iceberg del Lidl y un tomate de invernadero que no sabe a nada. Lamentable. Es la segunda vez que hoy y ya no vuelvo más.

My favourite in the city! Mi favorito en la ciudad

El estragon es mi restaurante vegetariano favorito, lo conozco de hace muchos años, antes de ser vegana y siempre me ha encantado. Su comida es casera, grandes raciones y deliciosa, como en casa. Es verdad que hay menos opciones para veganos estrictos pero lo recomiendo.

El estragon is my favourite vegetarian restaurant, I discovered it before being vegan and i really love it. Their food is homemade, portions large and delicious , just like home . There are fewer options for strict vegans but recommended.

large choice, large portions

Went on a Sunday evening when many other veggie places were closed. The olives that came as an appetiser were just fantastic. Lots of choice on the menu. They do seem concerned about protein - on each of our dishes the protein was doubled-up - eggs+veggie sausage/tofu+veggie sausage. The sauted vegetables were great - lots of different veg all perfectly cooked. We paid 27 euros for two including drinks. We would go back.

great menu of the day for a lacto-vegetarian!

In spite of bad reviews we decided to try this place because of its nice location. And that was a good idea! We ate two different sets from menu of the day (12€) - both were just gorgeous!
Really big portions (we could hardly eat all), well cooked meal, incredibly delicious!
The staff is a bit upset but ok - they're not very happy with their work but do it quite well. The service was fast.
Coffee, tea or water is included. Dessert with real honey was also a part of the menu of the day.

Pros: really tasty menu of the day, cheap if you take menu of the day , great location

Cons: the staff is not very happy but ok, not for vegans
