Creative Culinary Twists on Cultural Staples - Edit
Creative culinary twists on cultural staples make La Encomienda a viable option for any local Madrileño. There are more successes (and risks) than failures, but La Encomienda falls short of being superior in a city full of vegan marvels.
Read moreThe atmosphere exudes faux-high dining with pointed bare-stone walls and soft, sultry lighting. It would be a great place to grab an evening La Latina drink. The wait staff was friendly and informed on all diet restrictions. We were accompanied by a gluten-free diner who appreciated the reassurance.
The menu varies between Pad Thai, Tofu tacos, and African-style rice, providing something for everyone. The food is creative, twisting traditional meals into something original. The Pad Thai was creamed with avocado and sprinkled with crushed pistachios (a beautiful textural mix). Although the rice pasta was slightly overcooked (understanding that gluten-free pasta is temperamental), the dish still satisfied. The desert achieved something moist where most fall flat: moisture. Most cakes crumble into nothing as soon as the utensil penetrates. Instead, the Chocolate cake exuded moistness, holding together until the last bite.
The biggest knock is the price-to-portion ratio. They are small plates (don't come hungry), but the pricing isn't wildly unequal. I would have been happier to pay more for a grander portion.
La Encomienda still satisfies through a risk-taking menu and twisty cultural plates: a viable option for any gluten-free or vegan (or combined) local diner.
Pros: Location, Atmosphere, Gluten-free options
Cons: Portions

Delicious croquettes ! - Edit
I got the croquettes that were so delicious. And got another dish that was so fresh, composed of beetroot, fresh vegan cheese underneath it, and mushrooms with some cream on it. The beetroot with the cheese was so delicious, whereas the mushrooms were ok but not so tasty.

Kreative Küche - Edit
Freundlich und hilfsbereit wurden wir empfangen und versorgt.
Read moreDie Käseplatte war leider im zwei Spezialitäten ärmer als sonst, was aber vorher kommuniziert wurde und einen Preisnachlass gab es dafür auch.
Der Burger war leider etwas schmal mit den Beilagen und daher insgesamt eher etwas für den kleinen Hunger, geschmacklich aber ok.
Das Highlight war das Tofu-Tartar mit Thunfisch von der Wassermelone, ja 🍉. Sehr kreativ und wohlschmeckend.
Pros: kreativ, freundliche Bedienung
Cons: bisschen zu teuer

Delicious! I will come back por sure! - Edit
I read mixed reviews about this restaurant so I wasn't sure what to expect but I found a very good innovative menu, portions that were big at a reasonable price, and a very nice staff. We had two starters and a main for two people and it was more than enough. We were full but we asked for dessert since everything was so good. This place goes to my Madrid's top 5.

Mejor compartir plato - Edit
La comida estaba deliciosa, tanto te entraba por la vista como por el gusto. Aún si las cantidades de cada plato son enormes , con lo que recomiendo compartir un primer y en todo caso hacer 2 entrantes.
Read moreEn particular el pad Thai lo encontré demasiado cargado para mi gusto (mucha salsa) además de como digo, ser un plato muy contundente.
Pros: El lugar es muy rústico , Comida sabrosa
Cons: Las raciones muy grandes

Food was good, better places in Madrid - Edit
I didn’t have any complaints with the food other than some pickled mushrooms which had a weird texture. My dislike for these mushrooms however could have been because of my unsophisticated pallet. The flavour was good.
Read morei give this restaurant 3 stars because it was quite expensive for what it was, even though the food was good. I always appreciate an all vegan place so unless i have a negative experience I can’t give a place less than 3 stars.
Overall the food was good but nothing special. If anything it was a little too experimental and overpriced. Having said that, my highlight was the gyoza. Pretty good.

Lovely lunch - Edit
We visited this lovely place for lunch. We ordered a couple of starters and mains. The food was varied and delicious. We accompanied our meals with some great homemade ginger beer. The staff were friendly and helpful. We can highly recommend this place in Madrid.

Nothing so special - Edit
Croquetas were good. We ordered grilled avocado and cheese and they looked everything other than grilled…
Read moreThe mushrooms salad, was good but insanely expensive for the portion size and the quantity of mushrooms.
If I would come back i’d just order tapas, no main dish for sure.
Pros: Nice area of madrid, Good for tapas
Cons: Expensive, Portion size are small, Not enough dedication in the cooking and serving

Hate giving luke warm review but … - Edit
The place is warm, comfortable, and cute, but the food was just okay and the service really wasn’t. First the service: people have off days, but the edge was noticeable. And the water she said was coming, didn’t and after 20 minutes, she ignored and was definitely snippy. I had the lunch special, which was a bland roasted veg appetizer and spaghetti bolognesa, which was burnt or something. The croquetta appetizer I ordered on top of the special was excellent. I skipped the included dessert because, why bother. I never skip dessert.
