Liked it

I visited Santander in 2018. The whole holiday i had eaten salad, or only home-prepared lunches since restaurants didn't offer anything vegan, but then by accident we saw the 'vegan food' sign outside this restaurant so without even discussing with my family, i decided this was the place we were going to eat. So it's practically the only vegan or even vegetarian restaurant in this area.
If you're searching for plant based meals, go to this restaurant.
For €13 you have main course and an appetizer. There isn't much choice, but what they offer is pretty nice.
We had chilli, musaka, lasagne, a salad, pasta and something with spinach. It all tasted really, really good, the musaka was my favourite.
We took a brownie to eat later since we couldn't eat anything more at the moment we were there. Brownie was great.
I liked the restaurant, good staff, good food, and maybe their menu is bigger at the moment. I was there a year ago so maybe they've made some changes.

Pros: Very cheap, Real meals, great in taste, All vegan

Cons: not much options

Bad food combination

I decided to have lunch at the La Parade restaurant with my partner. We picked it as it was the only fully vegan option in Santander and had high ratings in HappyCow.

When we asked the waitress why they were the only vegan restaurant, she said there was a big meat eating culture in the city, so it is quite a challenge to run a vegan place.

We had a daily menu of two courses. We were disappointed with the quality of the food. The food combination was simply very bad (raw fruits and veggies mixed), onion and garlic were used in all the dishes, and the dishes lacked spices that at least could help with the digestion and warm up the body while eating raw food in the cold season.

Pros: only vegan option, friendly service

Cons: bad food combination, dishes lack spices

Comida rica y casera

El único vegano de Santander. Comida rica y casera. La lasaña de soja texturizada está deliciosa y el tártar de verduras crudas me encantó! Muy original.

¡Para repetir!

Comida casera buenísima! (Los espaguetis de calabacín con pesto, canelones, chili, lasaña...) probamos un poquito de todo y difícil escoger con qué plato me quedaría!, trato súper amable por parte del personal y lugar muy tranquilo en una zona realmente chula de Santander. ¡Para repetir!

Muy buena experiencia

Estábamos por la zona y no dudamos en ir al único restaurante vegano de Santander.
El trato es familiar y amable, el sitio acogedor y la comida casera. Menú del día con varios primeros y varios segundos a escoger... a destacar el chili, espectacular. Los postres van a parte pero si tienes ganas merecen la pena, están riquísimos!!

Un lugar al que volver

Great value. Good food

The only completely vegan restaurant in Santander! Really simple menu with good food at a competitive price. The menu del dia was excellent and the staff are friendly.
We had beans and nachos, raw carrot and courgette spaghetti with pesto, chickpea burger, 'chicken' made with soya, both come with roasted potatoes and salad. For desert chocolate cake with berry sauce and chocolate pudding. Everything delicious. Worth a visit!

Pros: Good value , Nice atmosphere, Traditional Spanish food

Cons: Not open in the evening

Servicio pésimo

El restaurante muy acogedor, la comida bastante rica, la pega es el servicio, a pesar de que nos atendieron sin haber reservado. Iban atabaladas en el local, después nos tardaban demasiado en servir la comida, nos traían las bebidas a cuenta gotas teníamos que insistir en que se las habían olvidado, aparte tampoco tienen refrescos, cosa rara en un restaurante. Para finalizar nos tardaron mucho en traer la cuenta, y en rotulador.

Pros: Comida buena

Cons: Servicio atabalado

The most delicious vegan food

We came here cold from the rain and wind and were quickly warmed up with the most amazing home cooked delicious food. We had cream of carrot soup and carrot and zucchini spaghetti with home made pesto to start. For mains we had slow roasted veg with brown rice and bean chilli with nachos. We could have eaten everything on the menu it was so good!

Pros: Everything on the menu was vegan, Lovely calm atmosphere , Great variety of teas

Sitio único en Santander

La Parada de San Martín es la salvación que les queda a los veganos en Santander, ya que es el único sitio que ofrece una carta exclusivamente vegana y además con platos caseros y variados. Es verdad que dependiendo del día que he ido y lo que he elegido del menú ha variado un poco la calidad (hubo una lasaña de seitán por ejemplo que no me gustó mucho) pero siempre dentro de unos parámetros más que aceptables. El personal muy amable, precio asequible y ambiente relajado. Recomendable 100%.

The very best cook in Santander

La parada de San Martín is the only vegetarian in Santander, is in the city center and it's very cheap (you can eat a meal 13€ each). My favourites plates are the salad, the carrot puree, and the lasagne.
The customer service is really nice, but you have to know it's a small family business so sometimes you have to be patient.

Very good but not the best

Very pleasant and calm place with nice, non-invasive music. The Ensaladilla Rusa was absolutely the best salad I've ever had and the Chilli sin carne great. But the second dishes not so much. Burger was dry, searved with some potatoes with no bun or any other vegetables or sauce. Lasagne better but had some kind of sweet taste like there weren't spices at all.
Maybe the other dishes are better.
The price (13€) includes two dishes and dessert, but we where full after second dish so we haven't order it but have to pay for it anyway. Eco-craft beer - very good and refreshing.

Pros: the best Ensaladilla Rusa ever, good eco-craft beer, nice atmosphere

Cons: no English, you have to pay for whole 2-dishes meal and desser

Deliciosa!

I visited last week for lunch and the food was delicious. The restaurant was quite busy so I had to wait for a table but it was worth the wait! The menu of the day only cost 13€ (starter, main and dessert) which was extremely well priced considering the freshness and tastiness of the food! The waitress was extremely busy but still provided excellent service and was very friendly. I can’t rate this place highly enough, really worth a visit. I would recommend booking a table though! Un restaurante excelente, toda la comida fue deliciosa y fresca. La camarera fue muy simpática también. Lo recomiendo a todo!

Pros: Well priced, Lots of options, Fresh & homemade food

100% vegano pero con margen de mejora

Llegamos a las 12.25 un sabado y nos dijeron que estaba cerrado, apareciendo en la web y en Google que abrian a las 12. Cuando volvimos 10 minutos mas tarde nos preguntaron que queriamos antes de bajar las escaleras, obviando lo evidente, pues veniamos a consumir.
Una vez dentro y tras esperar unos minutos a ver si nos ofrecian sentarnos nos resumieron el menu, variado eso si, 13 euros con 4 opciones para cada primero, segundo y postre, sin incluir bebidas. Tampoco nos dieron posibilidad de pedir de carta y no tenian opciones de zumos naturales.
Pedimos frijoles con nachos, verduras asadas, pastel de berenjenas y lasagna de seitan. Salvo la lasagna, congelada, todo fue calentado en microondas. No solo por el sonido del microondas junto a la barra, sino por el sabor, olor y la textura de la comida, en especial de las verduras. Destacaria la lasagna de seitan y el postre de flan de algarroba. Lamentablemente ibamos con un poco de prisa (nunca recomendable, eso es cierto) y cuando llegamos solo habia una persona ocupandose de reservas, barra, cocina y mesa. Al final, con una compañera mas se esforzaron en atendernos lo mas rapido que podian, pero lo ideal es poder dar un buen servicio con prevision de tener mas de una mesa ocupada desde el momento de apertura. Luces y sombras. No creo que repita. Deseo que si lo hago algun dia me pueda comer mis palabras.

Pros: Variedad del menu, el esfuerzo de la dueña en dar

Cons: Menu sin incluir bebida, podrian ser mas rapidos p

feel at home!

We had lunch here with our 1year old. Not only does the lovely owner manage to cook and serve all by herself but she is the nicest person and even brought our daughter toys and made fun with her!
The place offers a 3 course set menu including a drink for just 13€. You could chose from 3 different options for every course. The food was very rich and filling. This is not the typical all healthy, tiny portions macrobiotic vegan posh place but feels like your mum started cooking vegan!
We definitely recommend going here!

Pros: lovely staff, tasty food , very good price

Best vegan food in Santander!

Menu del dia with a fixed price of 13 euros for lunch. All vegan food, very filling and tasty! Need to eat here if you're a vegan in Santander, Spain. Close to the beach and the city center.

Pros: excellent food, good value
