Last Minute

We stumbled across this cute little food truck as we walked back to our hotel today on the last day of our trip to Madeira….. Really nice guy running it and he was VERY friendly and chatty too. We were talking to him whilst he prepared our food and we mentioned that we found that not many places in Madeira understand what vegan really means….. (don’t eat anything with a face!).

Plenty of vegetarian options on offer in Madeira but not many vegan ones.

He agreed!!!!

Pros: Hummus sandwich, Buddha bowl

2020 habe ich vantastic besucht in meinem Urlaub. Es gab eine kleine Auswahl an Speisenund Getränken. Alles super frisch zubereitet. Mit viel liebe. Der Inhaber macht alles mit großer Hingabe. Das sieht und schmeckt man!

In 2020 I visited vantastic on my vacation. There was a small selection of food and drinks. Everything was freshly prepared. With a lot of love. The owner does everything with great dedication. You can see and taste that.

Amazing fresh hummus sandwich!

A challenge to find - now located near the sea front in the direction of the bus station. I phoned to get actual location.
Friendly owner made hummus fresh for our sandwiches. He slathered hummus on both slices and loaded them with salad leaves, cherry tomatoes, a big heap of fresh avocado and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Really amazingly tasty and totally worth more than the €7.90 each cost.

Pros: Freshly made hummus , Generous portion, Friendly owner

Charming food truck

Not everything is vegan, but most of it is like the owner said. I had a hummus sandwich and the juice of the day. The sandwich was freshly made. The bread was walnut bread and was super soft and there was a lot of avocado on the bread, too. It was a large portion, so the price/performance ratio is great. For me it could have been a bit more seasoned, but that might be a personal preference. The juice was also freshly made and consisted of apples, oranges and strawberries, as far as I could see. I was a little distracted in between, the owner talks a lot😄 The juice was delicious! The selection is not very large, but it is a charming place where you can have nice entertainment.

Pros: everything is made fresh, nice service, the owner talks a lot, price-performance ratio is reasonable

Cons: may take some time bc everything is made fresh, if u re no t in the mood to talk, maybe not the right place

Good sandwich with some caveats

The hummus sandwich was good, and so was the fresh juice. The place is not fully vegan nor vegetarian, as it also offers salmon sandwiches. The owner is very friendly, a bit too much so, he will embark into a 20 minutes monologue while preparing the sandwich, which could be charming, if not a bit much if you’re not in the mood for it.

Pros: Nice hummus sandwich , Fresh juices

Cons: Not fully vegan nor vegetarian , The owner can be a lot

Super nice Owner - delicious Sandwich

While waiting for my sandwich to be freshly made, I had a nice chat with the owner. The conversation and the sandwich was good - what more do you want? :)

Keine Berwertung möglich

Leider stand der Vantastic nicht am angegebenen Platz.
Konnte nicht herausfinden ob er evtl. an einem anderen Platz steht.
War am Montag so gegen 12:00 am benannten Standort.

Delicious vegan Hummus bread, nice athmosphere

At least one of the seldom places in Madeira where you can eat fresh vegan food - with good Price-Performance-racio. The owner is very authentical, with lots of humour and talks a lot to you - very entertaining.

The hummus bread was very tasty and fresh. Fresh self made Hummus, tomatoes, salad, and much avocado. Also the soft walnut bread matches very good with other ingredients.

The perfect meal you get with the healthy juice of the day.

After eating you feel good and fresh 😅.

Pros: Fresh tasty and healthy food, Entertaining, friendly owner

Cons: If you are not in the mood to talk, not best place, Waiting time (normal for fresh food)

Food ok but i won't come again because of the owner

The guy makes me think of a spiritual narcist, talking without interruption even when you make no appearance that you are into talking, giving unsolicited advice, full of contradictions... If he would not have been so annoying, I would come again cause the hummus sandwich was good.

Good sandwich, attentive service

Sandwich was very good, chia pudding was so tasty and the van operator is super attentive. The wait was a bit longer than expected but the other points made up for it.

Beautifully fresh sandwiches

Freshly made to order hummus sandwiches. I believe he also does chia pots. The care and attention that goes into his food is obvious.
