Amazing!!!

Everything is vegetarian & most the things are vegan. Also there is a sign for glutenfree dishes.

The food was truly delicious! The waiter was very nice and the vibe in the restaurant was really great! We tried some different starters and as a main dish the burrito, the burger, the gnocchi & the mango salad. Everything was just amazing!

On the picture there is the Bao Bun (starter)! Can recommend!!

Buen servicio

Escogimos el menú para probar más cosas. Los sabores buenos en general, así como la presentación. Lo único que para costar 27€ la ración del plato principal nos pareció pequeña. Buena opción de todas formas, el servicio es excelente y el trato muy amable. La carta ofrece otras opciones, pero es algo reducida.

Pros: Servicio muy bueno , Buen sabor , Presentación

Cons: Principal del menú pequeño , Carta reducida

I had a lovely lunch here. Had a good people watching spot out the window, it's quite small so reccomend booking at busier times. Highly recommend.

Vegan with a few vegetarian options

All dishes on the menu are vegan, except 3 clearly marked vegetarian. The menu labels as vegan around the world, which they have a fusion of different cuisines. Pretty nice place and the food was good. Service was nice.

A little bit disappointed

A very underwhelming experience for the price and expectation.
The waiter said everything was vegan but it was not. Some was vegetarian, very confusing.
The burger was boring, so was the eggplant. The cake tasted like a shake and bake. Not worth the price

Pros: The atmosphere

Cons: Boring food

Really good vegetarian/vegan restaurant

Another great restaurant serving both vegetarian and vegan food, clearly marked on menu but be aware if you are vegan.

Great food and friendly staff but once again you have to book in advance as it's not very big and fills up fast.

Couldn't fault the food and the burger I had was amazing.

Pros: Really great food , Friendly staff , Nice atmosphere

Cons: Gets very busy so need to book , Vegetarian/vegan menu be careful ordering

Excellent

Food was delicious, menu was in English and clearly labeled and staff was super friendly. Only coffee was so-so but still worth 5 stars overall.

Nice place with room for improvement

There’s a lot of potential but unfortunately our experience wasn’t the best. The starters (to share) have ridiculous small portion sizes, consisting of one piece each, meaning you get 1 croquette for 4€ or 1 ravioli for 4€. The mains we had were really tasty but one of them was completely cold. Service was really unwelcoming as well. Overall, it’s alright and I’m sorry to say but there are much nicer places in Alicante.

Where else would you recommend in Alicante for a vegan? That’s not fast food or junk food?

Absolutely fantastic

This place is so much more than the simple appearing, albeit eclectic menu. The dishes were innovative and delicious.
We shared the empanada followed by the bao bun, then the kimchi spring roll and the gnocchi. Finally finished with rice pudding.
Every dish was carefully curated in terms of flavour and texture. Each a complete and complex dish.
Perhaps the English translated menu was very basic or perhaps part of their attraction is their understatement.
However if you are in the area, make a reservation and try for yourselves. The best place we have eaten in our 2 weeks travelling Spain

Pros: Fantastic food, Fast service

Cons: The few vegetarian dishes meant we didn’t try all, Small restaurant - need to book

Great spot

Most of the menu is vegan. The vegetarian options are clearly marked. I had the epiniadas for starter. Served in a little bucket of delicious creamy sauce. I had the Thai salad for main. It was quite small but delicious and nutritious and left me space for the chocolate dessert which was a really light warm chocolate cake with berry dressing and ice cream. All the desserts were vegan - an apple pastry and a rice pudding. Probably our most expensive meal in Alicante - 65 euro for two including drinks and tip and three courses plus an amuse bouche. Definitely recommend. Helpful waitress. Nice interior.

Very tasty

Cute small place with open kitchen. Unlike the description The food was mostly asian, South American and italian inspired. The food was very tasty, and the service was great. Unlike other reviewers I think the portions were fine, and it was very clear which items were not vegan. But I would definitely go for 3 courses. Loved it.

Everything was just right!

I can not fault this place!
Food was filled with flavour and freshness. The gnocchi was probably the best gnocchi I've ever had!
Staff were so attentive and the place had a great atmosphere and excellent background music.

Pros: Great atmosphere and music , Freshly cooked food, Just the right sized portions

Special people and delicious food

We ate at Lluvia for the first time on a rainy January evening, and the cosiness of this charming restaurant was matched by the warm welcome we received from the staff. They described every dish on the menu in detail. Service was efficient and attentive, and everything done with a big smile.

All of the dishes we chose were delicious, a small starter of empanadas with salmorejo to share, then a main each - aubergine cannelloni and a yummy pizza unlike any I've had before.

It's not often that I consider the dessert the star of the show, but their vegan rice pudding is exceptional - sweet, delicious comfort food, beautifully topped with fresh fruits.

We're not in Alicante very often but when we're next in town Lluvia will be at the top of our list.

We've been back several times since my original review and today had the Vietnamese rolls, burgers and the rice pudding which was just as gorgeous as I remembered.

El menú no se entiende

Llegamos sin reserva entre semana, bastante temprano y nos hicieron sitio, el camarero nos atendió bien, pero la comida está muy mal marcada en el menú, no está claro qué es vegano, qué lleva huevo o leche.
Las raciones son caras y pequeñas, además el local es estrecho (4 adultos y los niños encima de las rodillas ya éramos multitud). Los baños no tienen cambiador para bebés, así que tuvimos que hacer malabares con el niño.

Pros: Comida bonita, Tranquilo

Cons: Menú no se entiende, Muy caro, No es cómodo para grupos

Tasty food / Small servings

Mains are ridiculously small and thus, overpriced. Fancied something healthy and had a mango salad for lunch which was really fresh and tasty but was so scarce that left me hungry. No complaints about the dessert though, a delicious Sachertorte which in the end barely kind of saved the experience. TBH I wouldn't come back

Pros: Tasty dishes, Desserts, Location

Cons: Small servings/overpriced, labels vegetarian but lefts vegan unlabelled

Such a nice restaurant!

Loved this restaurant! The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere was so nice. We had a fajita and summer roll as a starter. For our main we ordered gnocchi and the mango salad. Such a big variety of vegan dishes and everything tasted fresh and homemade.
