Five stars

Restaurant has a separate vegan menu with lots of yummy options. My husband, the omni, had lots of choice too. Cava by the glass. Cool and interesting vibe. Friendly service.

Delicioso

Pedimos la muhammara, lasaña y pasta romescu y estaba todo riquísimo. Las porciones son buenas, aunque el precio es excesivo para muchos platos.

Pros: Mucha variedad, Riquísimo, Tiene postres veganos

Cons: Algunas raciones pequeñas para el precio, Precio elevado

Good vegan food, but expensive

I went to Amaltea looking for a vegetarian dinner. I asked for the vegan menu (as mentioned in other reviews here), and had enough options to choose from. We ordered some asparagus for 12€ as a starter, and when it arrived, I was a bit startled by the quantity: All we got were seven or eight stems plus some cherry tomatoes and salt. Enough for an appetizer, but probably not worth 12€, even though it was very tasty.

The main dishes came in proper portions, but I'm afraid without the starter I wouldn't have been enough, either.

Overall, I liked the restaurant, but in my opinion they charge too much for their portions.

Pros: tasty, friendly staff, location

Cons: expensive, small portions

Would give 6 stars

First off in a city obsessed with meat this is the only restaurant with a separate vegan menu and they deserve some kudos for that alone. The food is spectacular. Very original, creative and ample. Got the leek appetizer that was pretty light except that it was helped by amazing bread and olives lol. Then the chickpea dish and the quinoa pumpkin dishes were super filling. Also it’s adorable.

Lovely spot with a separate vegan menu.

Enjoyed the asparagus starter then the vegetable lasagna. English menus and service available. No vegan protein dishes.

Amazing vegan menu in Córdoba

We enjoyed an evening at Amaltea. The food was tasty and creative and the atmosphere was serene and beautiful. The service was outstanding; they took care to manage the number of diners so as to ensure good service. We highly recommend for vegan/ veg travelers.

À must-go-to in Córdoba!

My favourite place in Córdoba! This place deserves five stars even if it's not fully vegan. They have a whole vegan menu with many many choices and every dish is absolutely excellent. I will give a special mention to the Puerros, miso, tomate (Leaks with miso & tomato) and the Wok de Garbanzos (Chickpea wok) which is simply magnificent. The majority of ingredients are organic. The setting is really comfy and service is great. What more could you ask for? 

Pros: Whole extensive vegan menu, Nearly all organic , Great ambiance and service

An absolute gem!

Cordoba isn’t the easiest place to eat vegan but this place is a one of a kind exception with its extensive separate vegan menu and well thought out options with fresh flavours. I had the pasta with artichokes, truffle, rocket and pine nuts. I’m only sad we couldn’t visit again before we had to leave beautiful Cordoba.

All vegan option

It can be Challenging in Spain to find a vegan or vegetarian option. This restaurant is a oasis for dining options for vegetarians and vegans. The proprietor was friendly and the environment was comfortable.

This rather should be allowed to Gabe five stars.

Tasty vegan choices

Really good tasty vegan dishes based exclusively on veggies, so no meat substitutes of any kind nor vegan cheese available. They have a vegan menu which is actually vegetarian, so when ordering you need to specify vegan to the staff (for example quesadillas include dairy cheese, which is simply avoided if you want them vegan, same with dishes using dairy yoghourt).

That said, the mains we ordered were super flavourful, with the sautéed chickpeas with kimchi as the absolute winner of the night.

Bad news (really bad IMO) is they serve foie, but unfortunately Córdoba is still kind of unfriendly for vegans so this place is one of the few choices available

Pros: Tasty dishes based exclusively on veggies, Nice location

Cons: They serve foie (!!!), Vegan menu is actually vegetarian, No meat nor pb cheese as alternative

Lovely food and a beautiful space

I went to Amaltea on my first night in Cordoba and I was instantly charmed by the bright decor and ambience of the place. They have a separate vegan menu which includes dishes like lasagne, burrito, Asian-inspired salads and pasta dishes. I had pasta with artichokes and white truffle sauce and it was delicious and beautifully presented. The portions are not massive, so if you're very hungry, order a starter or save room for dessert. The service was attentive and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Cordoba.

Pros: Amazing food, Beautiful space, Friendly service

Cons: Small portions

Be careful with the vegan menu

It’s great that this place has a vegan menu. Unfortunately, when I ordered a pasta dish from the vegan menu, it came covered in Parmesan cheese (despite no mention of this on the menu). The staff also seemed annoyed that I returned the dish and didn’t apologise for their mistake.

Up until this point the vibes were good and it’s a shame this let the place down.

Lots of options, cute place, great service!

Probably the most vegan-friendly place in Córdoba. Extensive separate vegan menu and interesting alcoholic and non alcoholic drink options.

At first I gave it a 3/5 because I first ordered the lasagna, which was just vegetables with tomato sauce and some bready pasta-like layers, no vegan bechamel/cream or cheese. Tasted good but not something I would really enjoy with other better options. The staff saw I didn’t have much of it and offered to make me another dish, I chose the truffle and artichoke pasta which was delicious. Very kind of them and they were genuinely curious for feedback!

Consigliatissimo

A Córdoba non ci sono molti ristoranti con opzioni vegane.
Questo, oltre ad essere uno dei pochi che c’è, ha tre menù diversi: normale, vegetariano e vegano.
Sono rimasta molto colpita dalla qualità dei piatti e dalla varietà delle opzioni vegane. Era tutto buonissimo e le porzioni erano molto grandi. Il ristorante non è grandissimo quindi è consigliato prenotare. Se siete vegani dovete farci un salto.

Pros: Varietà delle opzioni vegane, Qualità dei piatti

Separate vegan menu

This restaurant has a separate menu for vegans which was nice, lots of options (considering most places in Córdoba don’t have many options for vegans!).

I had beetroot mousse with crudités which was tasty and fresh, and the pasta with romanescu sauce, cherry tomatoes & basil - the sauce was too thick and heavy so I couldn’t finish the dish. The other pasta dish, with artichokes and truffle oil, smelled delicious.

Lovely staff and stylish interior.

Amazing vegan cuisine in Cordoba

Cordoba had my partner and I freaked out before arriving, as there are no vegan only restaurants in-town. After mulling over all of our options, we chose Amaltea because it had a vegan menu available online; we're so lucky -- this place has amazing food and an incredibly warm/beautiful ambience (we stayed for over 2 hours dining the night away). Two appetizers we loved: the grilled asparagus and the milhojas (little beet/avocado sandwiches with potatoes as the "bread"). Excellent service. One note: they offer reservations (the place was full when we were there) and if you use the WhatsApp number they give to message them earlier in the day, you should be fine getting a table for that evening. Awesome, awesome, awesome find.

I‘ll Come back

The quinoa lentils were fantistic! A bit fruity, light and cool - a good choice in this heat. On a second day, I had the leek with tomatoes (starter), which was gorgeous; the chickpeas with kimchi were not so much my taste. Still, it's great that there are so many new things to explore - I hope I can come back!
