Good location, Food was ok.

If you’re looking for a place with a good view then Hifen is a good choice. As far as their vegan fare, it was ok— the beet tartare with quinoa used fresh ingredients but it lacked a counterpunch to its sweetness (they used honey so ask if it can be removed). The avocado garden salad fell flat and could use stronger citrus notes in their dressing. Good place though if you are traveling with carnivores as my brother loved their chicken gizzard and octopus dishes.

Very good tapas

Plenty of veggie tapas options. Genuinely excellent flavours. Enjoyed having one of the three private balconies overlooking the seafront.

Tasty

The avocado salad is vegan as is. It's really tasty, big portion.
The staff is really kind. I was with non vegans, and they loved their seafood too.
Definitely recommend, the vibe is amazing as well.

Unlike any meal I’ve had

I ordered the beet tartare and noori and it was so delicately cut and served. Very fresh tasting like it just came from a garden. The serving is more than enough for one person to eat as a full meal, maybe even left overs. There is honey so you would need to ask for without. Amazing meal and beautiful view of the ocean

Pros: Lots of vegetarian options, Fresh food options over all fried, Beautiful location

Cons: Not a lot of vegan options

Tasty options available but slightly misleading menu

I ordered a gazpacho soup which is usually a safe option but it came with an egg in it. Nowhere on the menu did it make it clear there was an egg in it. I ordered a dish called Black Pig secrets which underneath it had a description that said 'Asparagus, quinoa, apple, kale and white beans' but found out just in time that it was a pork dish so cancelled it. In the end the waitress was helpful, showed me what I could have and I had a really nice aubergine and black bean dish. Just make sure you ask about ingredients before ordering!

Pros: The staff are polite, friendly and helpful , Nice view

Cons: menu is misleading and not clear about ingredients

Creative vegetarian and vegan tapas

Friendly service and long menu that is adaptable--most of the vegetarian dishes can easily be made vegan. My favorites were the eggplant rancheras, butternut squash soup, and padron peppers (shishitos). Salads are large. Cocktail menu is excellent.

Pros: Hearty veggies, not just flimsy ones, Fantastic flavor combinations, Relaxed atmosphere
