Fancy restaurant with changing menu

The staff was very friendly and polite! I like the idea of a seasonally changing menu.
We had the walnut tagliatelle and the blue cheese pizza, they were both tasty. The prices are kind of high at 15€/dish and the portions were not that big.
The tagliatelle dish could have had some more tagliatelle noodles.
I liked the pizza but it was very salty and had pear slices on it, which is definitely not very typical for a pizza.

amazing food

very delicious food, restaurant has quite fancy vibe and is a bit pricey (especially for a tourist not using euro), but the food is really great. the only downside is kitchen hours, you can order food only from 1pm to 4:30pm.

Amazing food

The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was extremely tasty and flavoured. One of the best vegan places I've ever been in. It's a must.

Best vegan Blue Cheese Pizza!!

They serve the best blue cheese pizza on the island! Amazing!
The noodles on the menu was like a thick spaghetti with a great sauce and the ravioli was superb!!
Really recommend them! 👌

Pros: Not expensive , Great food

Cons: They're inside instead of out

Exquisito

La comida está espectacular, se nota que utilizan buenos ingredientes y mucha dedicación en la presentación de los platos.
La pasta con "keso" es la mejor que me he comido, repetiría mil veces. Y los postres no podría quedarme con uno, todos están buenísimos.
El ambiente del local y el personal hacen que tengas una comida agradable.

Pros: La comida , Los postres , El atendimiento

Good but too creamy

We found the idea of the tapas to be really captivating. Excellent selection of home made soft drinks, including kombucha. Staff very friendly. We expected something more from the ravioli, which were too creamy for our taste. Something fresher, like fresh tomatoes and basil maybe would have given us the chance to appreciate the home made pasta. Also the dessert we had had too much cream, again for our taste.
In general, there is a modest number of options. Because they are well known for their past and bread, we would have liked to see one more main.

Los mejores!

Visita obligatoria en el sur de Tenerife. El ambiente es maravilloso, el trato inmejorable. Te hacen sentir como en casa. Comida casera y muy elaborada (especialmente la pasta). Sin gluten. Calidad precio perfectos. Cada mes cambian de carta y siempre sorprenden. Nosotros vamos siempre que podemos. Comes rico en un lugar agradable. Los mejores 🥹

Delicious

Fully vegan and gluten free restaurant. Almost everything is homemade.
All the dishes we ordered were delicious, but I would highlight the maracuja lemonade, homemade vegan mozzarella and mango cake.
For €25/person we ate here very well.

Pros: Kind service , Dog friendly

Bestes Lokal auf Teneriffa

Liebevoll angerichtete und top abgeschmeckte Speisen, serviert und zubereitet von super sympathischen Menschen. Jeden Monat gibt es eine neue Auswahl an Gerichten, es lohnt sich also so oder so immer wieder herzukommen und sich durchzuprobieren.

Pros: Geschmacklich top, Super Auswahl, Schön hergerichtet

Delicious 3 course meal

Small menu, everything fantastic. Incredible pad thai inspired rissoto, the best tapas Iv ever had and lovely drinks. Definitely need to call and book ahead as they are very busy but it's clear why. Easily the best vegan meal Iv tried on the island

Pros: Rissotto , Tapas

Cons: Need to call and book a day ahead.

Book in advance! Friendly cafe with great food

My partner and I visited this cafe twice during our four nights in Tenerife. We loved it!

First, book at least two nights in advance. Each day we were here they were fully booked by the day before.

The staff here are lovely! So helpful, happy and clearly wanted us to enjoy our experience and we certainly did.

We are trying to learn Spanish and the staff were incredibly patient with us. They gave us explanations of the food and drinks in Spanish and English.

The menu was simple but good. We thoroughly enjoyed the home made cheeses, aoli and pasta. Our favourite dish was the tapas starter that gave a great selection of food. It was fantastic to be away and have such good food available in a town where vegan options are limited.


I loved all the home made drinks such as kombucha and lemonade.

The location is amazing. Just a short walk from a lovely relatively quiet beach, with cheap sun loungers (4€ for the day) and exceptional snorkeling. It's also close to an abandoned village that was due to be a leapor colony.

It's worth a day trip to come here. I would happily return again.

Pros: Amazing friendly service, Fantastic home cooked food, Great atmosphere

Cons: Not open in the evenings, Hard to get a table without prebooking.

Lovely place, brilliant food and amazing staff

Update December 2023: I came back twice and loved everything just as much as during the last holiday. All food I tried was just lovely, just as the friendly, helpful and attentive service.
I had some brownie as a take away, which is not in the pictures and it was super tasty, even the day after😉

Please book a table in advance!

Samelo pretty much adds up the best of all possible vegan worlds.
The food tastes brilliant (I loved the homemade cheeses in the starter), the place itself is so pretty and clean, service was quick, helpful and really friendly, it's dog-friendly and the location next to the sea is just too good to be true.
I really, really wanna go back.
If you plan on going, make sure to book a table well in advance.

Unpleasant visit

We drove here for nearly an hour only to be met with unpleasant attitude and was told it’s bookings only and no take away. It does not say that anywhere on the website/Instagram. Absolutely disappointed

Lovely vegan and gluten free lunch

Samelo Veg in Abades is a nice place to enjoy a vegan and gluten free menu. The staff is very friendly and the location very nice. Consider the opening hours and that the local can be very full (better do a reservation!).

Amazingly Delicious

The reviews here are accurate. An amazing gem of vegan delight. We went there on Sunday March 12/23. We had both cheese plates, the cannelloni and the portebello mushroom burger. Every mouthful was delicious and one could taste the care and skill that went into each dish.

Pros: Great options, Amazing service , Vegan cheese heaven

Cons: None
