Lovely vegan experience (might be closed)

This is the main vegan proposal in Estepona with a great proposal for all day, breakfast, lunch and diner.
We had a very good experience here several time, it seemed however that by the end of our stay they were closed for a temporary time hopefully...

Pros: Good all vegan proposal, Nice place, Lovely staff

Cons: Might be closed now

Vegan comfort food

Puravita is an amazing place to eat vegan food in Estepona. The staff is very sweet and the food is also very good! We've had the Beyond Burger which had a small vegan egg on top and on top of the burger which was very beautifully made. Their homemade chili oil is also very nice. For dessert we had the cheesecake, very good and tasty. Overall this was a great place to eat and enjoy all the good that veganism has to offer.

Pros: Very clean and neat

Lovely owners but the food was bland

We were super excited to visit PuraVita and ordered the Falafel bowl and the carbonara. Unfortunately the falafel bowl was really bland and just very salty, the carbonara was better but the portion size was small and the prices were really high! Unfortunately the smoothie too was very milky and not tasty at all. The owners were very sweet and friendly but the food and drink just lacked flavour and was the most expensive meal we’d had in Spain.

This is what I needed!

Everything was very tasty, only the pasta got less flavor than I expected. This is a restaurant that should be in every city!

Wow, wow, wow!

Just finished a delicious 3 course meal in Puravita.
Menu had me spoiled for choice.
I went with the cauliflower popcorn. Very tasty. Would have like the chefs special is stuffed cabbage leaves but they were off the menu. Opted for the mushroom and black bean taco. Very tasty but just a little too oily for me so left most of the taco.
So many desserts to choose from. Requested the pistachio cheesecake then the chef told me they also have a banoffee cheesecake as a special of the day. When I asked which was less sweet she said the banana so I opted for that. It was so delicious. I ate more of it than I had room for.
Highly recommend. Not had the I’ll yet but for a coastal town, great produce, the pricing seemed accurate.
Will be back!

Pros: Extensive menu, Location, Friendly informative chef

Cons: Slightly long wait time but relaxing in the sun

Absolutely fantastic

This restaurant is an absolute must if you visit Estepona.

The owners are the most hospitable, genuine and kind people you could ever wish to meet delivering 1st class food and service. The quality of the food and wine is really exceptional and we made a number of visits during our time in the area.

Neither myself or my partner are vegans but we couldn't keep away from this lovely restaurant - would highly recommend the Malaysian curry, Black bean tacos and the snickers cheesecake :)

Pros: Food, Service, Ambience

Lovely atmosphere and decent food

Cosy little place on oneof side streets of the gorgeous Estepona. We randomly chose to stay here for a night and was pleasantly surprised to find a fully vegan restaurant! I had a lentil burger to start with, which was good, but the highlight for me was the amazingly delicious tiramisu, it was so tasty!

Pros: Delicious tiramisu, Great atmosphere , Fully vegan!

Cons: Service a little slow , Slightly expensive

Great food great service

Fantastic food, many options and very polite and welcoming staff. We have been many times and we are never disappointed. Some people are saying it’s expensive & I guess it can be but in my opinion it’s worth the price, but I wouldn’t call it expensive. Many vegan restaurants end up shutting down due to turnover so I’m happy to pay more if it means Puravita stays open long term. When their previous restaurant in another location closed I was was always checking to see when the new one would open. We are very lucky to have Puravita 💚

Pros: Great food, Lovely staff, Many options

Good food, bad service, expensive

First time here after living in Estepona for a couple of months and I was disappointed. The food was very expensive, €17.50 for a burger chips and then they charged us €1 each for sauces. When we queried this when the bill arrived (as they hadn't warned us of this when we asked for sauce) a waiter laughed, rolled his eyes and said 'Well of course we have to charge, everyone asks for it', no apology at all. The burger was nice but the flavour mainly came from the beyond burger patty. Wouldn't go again due to the poor service and expensive prices.

Cute restaurant but a bit bland

I wanted to like this place as it is a plant based restaurant. The restaurant is really cute and it is at a good location. However, the food fell flat as it was bland and not a lot of flavour in general. The staff was lovely and also the wine, but would have liked more flavour on the food.

Cosy, tasty and gluten-free options

Very friendly people, super tasty food and it looks nice as well. It’s a small place with a heated terrace, lovely decorated. They have quite some gluten-free options, I tried them all and it was all delicious. #Veganuary

Extremely friendly stuff and great food!

We spend a whole evening there. Two starters, two mains, two desserts and a bottle of a good wine. Came with my cat too, and the stuff were very welcoming to all 3 of us. We sat outside and had the heater set up just next to us so it was really cozy and warm. The food itself was really, really good! The pistachio cheesecake was out of this world!

Pros: Price vs. Quality ratio, Taste, Service

Gorgeous food

Really tasty food and the cafe is very cute.
The waiter was very friendly and brought biscuits for our dog.
The food was very good, although on the pricier side.
I had beetroot hummus and an empanada which were both excellent. My dad had ‘gambas’ pil pil which he really liked.
Definitely will come back if I get a chance - so many things on the menu I’d like to try!

Foodgasm

My god!!! What a night we hade with all that marvellous, delicious, indescribable food. The evening filled with lots of foodgasms. But you need to book a table.

The chef is just too good to be true. She is a Queen of vegan gourmet food. The food was delicious, it looked so beautiful, we were served the best way ever. I cannot describe this evening with words. You need to go and experience it.

As the chef's husband said about her: "she is not 100 vegan, she is 2000% vegan, and she is the chemist here" . I have this statement in audio, so I can prove.

Pros: taste, look, smell

Good if you’re not really hungry

Sweet wait person! Very friendly.
Sidewalk cafe on a quiet street.
We had the (9 euros) cauliflower popcorn, tiny tacos (14.5 euros) and 5 vegetable stuffed dumplings the size of your thumb (17 Euros!!).
Reilly tasty but very small portions and pricy.
Don’t be in a hurry!.

Pros: Monica, Place—stuffed pig and teddy bear salt with us. 😊, Tasty food

Cons: Tiny portions , Expensive, Slow

Superb

We had the faux prawns to start and they were delicious. Not quite sure how they did it but glad they did. Wonderful. We also had two burgers and some noodle dishes and everything was delicious. Then for dessert highly recommend the brownie or the cheesecake. Really sorry as a great meal. Very nice and helpful staff also

I really wanted to love this place

I really wanted to love this place, as we drove two hours to visit for lunch.
I booked a table as I was expecting it to be busy but, unfortunately, it wasn't necessary as we were the only people there for the entirety of our visit. I didn't realise it was in a shopping centre. This and the fact it was empty and a bit chilly led to there being a lack of atmosphere.
We ordered starters and mains. When ordering the tuna/potato starter I asked about the egg and was told it would come without, as they took a long time to make and weren't ready yet. This information hadn't been volunteered until I mentioned it and it seemed odd as it was an advertised part of the dish. When the dish came, the egg was on it...very confusing.
When the starters were served, so was my main! It sat a while until he asked if I'd like it put on the hotplate to stay warm. When it was re-served, I think the chips had been replaced but the burger wasn't hot and the base of the bun was soggy from sitting for so long. This was disappointing, as it's quite an expensive place to eat. My mum's burger hadn't been served with our starters but it was also soggy on the bottom.
I sincerely wish the owners all the best, as vegan restaurants are few and far between, but I feel they need to address these issues in order to provide the food, service and ambiance necessary to succeed.
The starter was nice, although I would have called it a prawn rather than tuna dish, as there was no tuna taste. I'm sure the burger would have been delicious had it been served fresh and not waited on the hotplate until I finished my starter.

Pros: 100% vegan, Prawn, potato, egg starter

Cons: Service was confused, leading to soggy burger, No atmosphere on the day we visited

We had a completely different experience in Estepona. Your review was written before they opened in Estepona. You will enjoy it if you try the Estepona location.

Ok

The food was ok but relied heavily on ultra-processed fake meat products. This seems a common trend and although I understand it makes it more accessible for meat-eaters, it’s not healthy and it would be better to see more tasty creative Whole Foods available, at least as an option.

Thank you for visiting us . Everything on our menu is healthy, we also have dishes for people who have become vegan but miss the taste of meat, and we also have raw vegan dishes, salads, carbonara, and many other dishes based on plants and vegetables. Thank you for your review and advice. Kind regards, Pura Vita Vegan
