Best lasagna in town - Edit
I had a lasagna topped with cashew parmesan, which was really delicious.
Read moreThe restaurant is quite small, but still super comfy. They are dog friendly and the service was really friendly and quick, even though it was a busy night.
Unfortunately I couldn’t try the dessert since it was already sold out. #Veganuary

I’m staying in Tenerife and found this cafe on the HC app.. after reading reviews here and on Google my partner and I literally walked 3 hours down the coast from several towns along just to visit and it was worth every bite.

Perfecto - Edit
Staying at Arenas del Mar, just down the road from El Médano, I was delighted to find not just vegan dishes available nearby, not just a 100% vegan restaurant nearby, but one of the best vegan restaurants I've ever been to, within walking distance.
Read moreI've been here multiple times during my stay and everything has been superb. Each day there's a different zumo del día (juice of the day) which is always spectacular, especially after a hot cycle ride / surf session / walk / day on the beach (delete as appropriate). Every dish I've tried has been fabulous. Particularly liked the "Poke, No" (see what they did there) and the Vegbab. They have a varying menu del día in addition to the regular menu which you can find online.
Oh, and they have fantastic, locally brewed beers which I was unable to find anywhere else on the island. And good WiFi.
I didn't eat anywhere else in El Médano but looking at menus elsewhere, El Med Veg is very competitively priced.
They're open every day until 22:00 so where still there for me even after a very late running bike ride.
So wish I had a place this good near my home.
Pros: Huge choice of original inventive dishes, Everything 100% vegan and delicious, Great local beers
Cons: Absolutely nothing!

Hidden Treasure - Edit
Found it with HappyCow. Managed by Italians guys, this little restaurant it’s located near El Medano beach. We ordered as starters Chacho y Pepe, vegan version of the typical Italian pasta "Cacio & Pepe" made with Carrot spaghetti, cashew nut and black pepper sauce Bruce, que tal? -
Read morehomemade cashew mozzarella and confit tomatoes bruschetta, served with rucula (superb!). Then we shared one VegBab -
Heura's Kebab with carrots, violet cabbage, salad, onion and yogurt sauce, served with coleslaw salad and edamame. We finished our amazing dinner with desserts: Cheesfake, almond and dates base with cashew and blueberries cream Sfera Ebbasta, chocolate and cashew nuts wait with crunchy almonds and raspberry coulisse (delicious). Friendly staff and good service. Don’t miss it if you are in zone.

Superb food at a great price - Edit
I loved the fact I could eat everything on the menu. Normally with my dietary requirements I have to select whatever I’m able to eat. Here was a real treat. In the 10 days we were in El Medano we are here about 8/9 times. Food was extremely tasty, beautifully made and not at all expensive. They also do takeaway.
Read morePros: I liked everything on the menu, Food was consistently good, Staff very friendly and helpful
Cons: It’s a basic setting so not for a posh meal

Great food! - Edit
We shared the super nachos and the falafel for starters. The nachos were really amazing, the falafel just okay. Then I had the lasagna and my boyfriend a burger. So so good! For dessert we shared the cheesecake. We definitely would go there again to try all the other dishes.

Finally found this place after wondering around the town.
Read moreI had the Tofu Sun rice my friend the lasagne. Sooooo tasty & fresh, I never eat dessert but we were so tempted by the Blueberry Cheesefake & Tiramisurf we had to. They did not disappoint.
Friendly fast service. Great price. 2 courses, 2 spk water was €33.
We are probably going back tonight to try different items 😂

A small restaurant tucked away in the streets behind the bustling El Medano beach area. Very friendly staff, an incredible menu and a super talented chef. We had Mumma Mia salad, Lasaña de berenjena, Grandma's lentilballs and as the menu was so delicious we made space for desserts of Cheesfake and Loving Mani. We will be back!

Place is small and simple, so not if you look for a fancy dinner.

Italy on Tenerife - Edit
During our visit of Medano we had a chance to visit El Med Veg. As a first thing I recommend you to make a reservation or do take away. The place is small and they are used to that people will just pick up the food. We were lucky and they one free table. When we were there we had there small kinder-garden. I am not 100% sure but I would say that was kids of the owners and there family. So we didn’t have much quiet and enjoyable moment. I am also not fan of this style where people are running into the kitchen and bringing something to kids, having keys, laptop etc on tables where nobody is sitting etc. I feel like I am disturbing the owners from work or whatever. But the food and deserts were really good and general feeling is good. Prices are touristic.
