Easy food and great location - Edit
Very nice location overlooking the cactus garden. Food was good and easy but note that the cactus burger and prickly pair croquettes are NOT vegan, even if you ask they cannot make for you as vegan version contrary to other reviews below.

Cactus experience - Edit
We tried the cactus burger and the cactus nuggets. Unfortunately we didn't ask the waiter for more info and we got both with cheese inside. So if you are vegan be careful and always ask what is vegan and what is not or can be made vegan.

Delicious cactus burger - Edit
The menu is marked with a (v) for vegetarian options, plenty of choice! You need to speak to the staff to clarify what is vegan, it was a little confusing as the allergen menu didn't seem to match what the waiter told us 😅

Overall happy!

Very good vegan options - Edit
This small restaurant is situated in the Jardín de Cactus in Lanzarote, which was originally created by the famous artist Cesar Manrique. The food was excellent and there are lots of vegan options. Service was also good. You have to be careful though because they don’t fully distinguish between vegan and vegetarian dishes and there is simply a V symbol on both of them on the menu. You need to ask or check to be sure. For example I had to tell the waiter to give me my cactus burger without cheese. Portions were also a bit small. Prices were good. Overall it was excellent and worth visiting.

Vegan canarian dishes - Edit
Thoroughly enjoyed the cactus burger and canarian potatoes, staff were happy to provide information on what was and wasn’t vegan. A good way to try traditional canarian dishes as a vegan.

Mostly vegetarian menu - Edit
Some vegan dishes with only one labelled. But have a look at the allergy menu to know if the vegetarian items are suitable for vegans.

Ropa Vieja & Nopal ice cream with a view - Edit
Overall there are a lot of vegan options and its a nice way to soak in the cactus garden. The Ropa Vieja was delicious (although a very small tapas portion). The Cactus Burger was okay, not the best vegan burger but an interesting experience – be sure to omit the sauce that has cheese in it. Nopal maki was really silly I don't recommend it at all for that price! And lastly the vegan Nopal ice cream was delicious, totally recommended!
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Vegan Nopal ice cream & Ropa Vieja, Great view of Cactus Garden
Cons: Portions are tapas style, Cactus maki not worth price at all!

Lifesaver for vegans - Edit
What a great surprise to find a major tourist site in Lanzarote offering clearly marked vegetarian/vegan options in the menu. Good food and service in the beautiful environment of the Cactus Garden. Eating outside while admiring the cactus was a real pleasure.
