Un clásico

Viví en Málaga durante 4 años y se convirtió en uno de mis restaurantes favoritos.
Hoy en la ciudad hay más "opciones" pero si buscas comida de calidad lo recomiendo 100%.

Pros: Variedad en la carta, Experiencia, Calidad-precio

Basic at best

It is an affordable vegan friendly restaurant in a nice town square but the praise ends there. Waiter made us feel like an inconvenience, and to be fair to him, the place was completely understaffed.
Food was bland too, would it kill for some sauce, oil etc on the tables?

Pros: Nice location

Cons: Boring food, Unfriendly service

Good food but nothing special

I had a nice tasting eggplant filled with mushrooms and with vegan cheese on top. The food was definitely good but also nothing special.

Pros: vegan options labeled

Good food

A handful of Vegan options. The restaurant was very full when we arrived and although the staff was very polite, the restaurant felt incredibly understaffed. We were told to wait although there were clearly a few tables empty. The mushroom croquetas were delicious and the risotto was good.

Pros: Lots of veggie options, Handful of Vegan options

Cons: Understaffed for peak hour

Good food and music!

I went to Cañadú for dinner and I had Spaghetti bolognese and mushroom stuffed aubergine with vegan cheese and brown rice! Both were really good! The waiter was super nice, he showed me which vegan cheese they had, and he let me add vegan pesto on top of the spaghetti when I asked for it. The icing on the cake was the live music with a pianist playing Ludovico Einaudi! Fantastic!

cheap and friendly stuff

We had patatas bravas (hot!) and the vegan burger and some ecological whine of the area. The whine was very good, the food was enough and although it is at the center (Plaza merced) we paid little. The stuff was very friendly! Recomendable

Excellent veggie restaurant few vegan options

This is an excellent veggie restaurant although there are few vegan options. The chick pea stew (callo) is excellent as are the seitan dishes; the chocolate tart is definitely worth a try!

Pros: Good food, pleasant staff, good atmosphere.

Cons: Limited vegan options.

We came back for a second time, so many vegan options! Loved the seitan scallops with lemon, but also burgers and batatas bravas.... bonus points for serving sangria without alcohol. Perfectly located in the city center. Would definitely recommend!

Pros: Many tasty vegan options, Friendly staff, speaks English well, Very affordable

Cons: Busy - it may take a while before you get served

Great food, nice place to sit

Had veg. Burger and marrocan burger with couscous, food was great. Also had tropical salad, which was lovely, but watch out for pink yougrt-like sauce, it was sweet and may not be to everyone's taste.

Pros: Tasty food, Good variety , Nice outside seating

Cons: People pass by trying to sell you things

Good value for its price

Canadu is located in the touristic Plaza de la Merced, next to the Alcazaba and near the house where Picasso was born.

The lunch menu is not expensive for such a touristic location (9.50 euro or 10.50 if you also want an appetizer). The food was nice, the gazpacho was on point and the callos were surprising (I think it is a great idea to use mushrooms as a meat substitute for this dish). The cous cous was a bit bland but it was still fairly decent. The staff is friendly and speaks english.

To sum up, Canadu is a very nice option in this part of the city in which the number of restaurants is overwhelming due to the huge amount of tourist who come to Malaga every year.

Pros: Nice food

Good value

Second time we've eaten at Canadu (many years gap in between). We've had a very pleasant experience. Firstly, the location is fantastic and the atmosphere buzzing, especially if you get the chance to eat outside. The service was impeccable and attentive. The food was good although not particularly exciting. There is a lot of potential, just some minor adjustments and it would be great. On the very plus side... the portions are on the large side making it very good value for money.

Pros: service, location, portion size

Good Food

We have been here twice and the food is good. The first time we had lunch and the set menu they offered. The dessert was disappointing with the baked apple but the first course was good. Later for dinner, we had a la carte and there were several vegan options.

Pros: central location , menu marks allergy , good set menu

Cons: would be nice to have more vegan options

Excellent food and very popular

This restaurant is located in a pedestrian area with lots of other places, but is the only veggie one. It is very popular and for good reason. My husband, who is an omnivore, had what he called the best veggie burger of his life. I had the scalloped seitan and it was absolutely delicious. Also had the chocolate tart dessert, which was decadent. Get there early for dinner or make a reservation.

Pros: Great food

Cons: Can get very crowded as the night goes on

Great chocolate cake!

The first time I went to this place was 4 years ago. I was happy to see that this place still exists!

The staff was fine but not great. We ordered hamburgers which itself was really good but lacked of sauce and the cheese was just a slice of package cheese -- a little bit dry but still good.

There weren't too many options for vegans, still enough for going once-twice :)

Chocolate cake was great!!!

Pros: Location, Good food (mostly)

Cons: Could have more variety for vegans

Delicious food, good range of vegan food including a lovely chocolate cake for dessert. Portions big enough to share between two. Staff are really friendly and speak excellent English which is handy if your Spanish isn't good.

Pros: Good vegan menu, Friendly staff, Delicious food

Cons: None

Soup was awesome! salad was good size but weird dressing

Super location, lovely outdoor seating! Great options for everyone, and a set menu you can chose from. Also, on Monday's and Friday's there is a pianist inside, which was so nice to listen to.

The only downside was my tropical salad dressing. So many lovely fruits, but the dressing tasted like cool whip, which was just a bit strange, but I think that's just my personal taste. My boyfriends cous cous was awesome though!

Pros: pianist inside, lots of vegan options, outdoor seating

Hearty food at good prices and attentive service

We were a party of 6 and had a range of different dishes, from hearty, tasty soups to massive Greek salads. Wide variety of main courses. Good range of wines to choose from at very reasonable prices The service is unobtrusive but attentive: they were concerned that one of us didn't finish our Greek salad and were worried we didn't like it A real gem!

Pros: Excellent service from friendly staff, Good value, Excellent food

Very tasty food

During my few days' stay in Malaga last fall, I ate here two times and tried several dishes.
The food is great!
Atmosphere was also nice.

Unpleasant

Gazpacho was good, almond soup also, but the small pot was filled with grapes, so there was not much soup. Salad was with corn and asparagus not fresh but from the can. Waiter did not bother to give us a feeling of being welcome. Free WiFi, but pretty slow. Many guests did not finish their meal, whatever that means... It took a while to pay the bill as there seemed to be an insufficient number of personnel. New guests queued for a table while the money was on the table, but still nobody cared. Not many vegan options in Malaga which could be a reason for this place to be packed.

Great location!

It's a very well located vegetarian restaurant with a lot of tasty Vegan options of Spanish, European and Oriental inspiration. Staff is friendly and know perfectly well what a Vegan needs! Nice atmosphere inside!
