Unbelievable!

Ich bin immernoch total geflasht!
An unserem letzten Tag auf Madeira haben wir erst diese wundervolle Käserei mit 2 unglaublich netten und sympathischen (deutschen) Betreibern entdeckt.
Wir haben die Käseplatte und allerhand drumherum probiert. Es war eine Wucht!
Ein Muss, wenn man hier in Madeira ist!
Während wir dort waren, waren auch super viele Stammkunden da. Das spricht für sich!
Euch beiden ist der Erfolg absolut gegönnt! Macht weiter so! ☺️

Lovely vegan Cheese and Owner

Hanna und Chris sind mit Herzblut bei der Sache. Es gibt verschiedenen Käse Alternativen (verschiedene Frischkäse, Camembert, Feta und Hartkäse). Wir hatten den Saft des Tages (Karotte, Apfel, Ingwer und Limette) sowie den Russischen Zupfkuchen und die gefüllte Pita. Alles war sehr lecker. Der Besuch hier ist definitiv ein Muss! 😀
Update: der Frischkäse ist der beste Frischkäse, den wir jemals gegessen haben!!! Mega

Updated from previous review on 2024-09-14

Pros: Besitzer waren super, Frischkäse ist der Hammer, Frühstücksangebot besonders die Pita

Cons: Öffnungszeiten, aber geht leider nicht anders

Lovely selection of gourmet handmade vegan cheeses, we bought caramelised onion cream cheese, picante sausages and almondy texas cheese to enjoy back at our hotel, all were delicious. We were also offered samples to try, which was wonderful.

Best vegan cheese we ever had!

The owner is making and fermenting the cheese herself from scratch. Everything was truly amazing!

Pros: All 5 cheese we tried were excellent , Lox Baggett , GF buckwheat bread

Cons: Limited opening hours, but worth the wait

What an unbelievable treat

I was amazed when I found out about this place in the is little village where we stayed. Super friendly owner who explained everything to me about all the different cheeses. I ended up with three different cheeses (Camembert, feta and a cheezy kind of harder cheese) they all tasted amazing. Obviously in the higher price range but since it’s all handmade it’s an ok deal for me.

Bester Veganer Laden auf der Insel!

Unglaublich süßer und mit viel Liebe geführter Laden - das schmeckt man in den Produkten!

Die verschiedenen Käsesorten waren ein Traum und ich hab davor schon viele vegane Käse probiert, an die hier kommt keiner dran😄
Auch der Cheesecake war eine 11/10! Die Inhaberin und ihr Partner sind unglaublich liebe Menschen. Würde jedem empfehlen dort mal was zu probieren 😊

Pros: Die Auswahl , Ladenbesitzer, Ladenlokal

So so good

Easily the best food we had on the island. The owner was so nice and while there weren’t a ton of selections, the options they did have were fantastic. We had the beet and apple toast, carrot “lox” toast, and the stuffed pita sandwich. All were so yummy. They also have a mini grocery store. We grabbed some vegan meats and took cheese cake and lemon bread to go!
I wish they were open more because we would go again if we could!

Now the location on happy cow is not clear if you are using Apple Maps. Go to the ponta sol shopping center and it’s right inside.

We're absolutely thrilled that you found us to be the best food on the island - what an honor! 💃🕺

Just impressive


Their homemade vegan cheese is an absolute game-changer – it's rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. The Pita Pocket was out of this world, a perfect blend of textures and tastes that left me craving more. And the vegan cheesecake was divine! It was so delicious that it could easily convert any skeptic into a vegan dessert lover.

The ambiance of the place is cozy and welcoming. The service was exceptional, and the owners (Hanna&Chris) are some of the kindest and most passionate people I've met. Their dedication to quality and customer satisfaction is evident in every bite.

This restaurant is a must-visit, not just for vegans, but for anyone who appreciates good food. Highly recommended!

Pros: Amazing vegan cheese, Very friendly owners, Vegan Cheescake as it’s best

Cheesy delight

This small vegan shop is the first (and for the moment only) place where you can find some artisanal vegan cheeses on the island. It is located inside a small shopping mall (cannot see it from the outside). The owner, who is very Nice and friendly, only accepts cash, but there is an ATM right outside. It is possible to eat in, have a vegan cheese plate (they also had a pita) but we chose to take some cheeses with us. They were fantastic! We took a camembert, a spread with herbs, no salmon carrots and a cheesecake. We loved all of it! Cheesecake is not super sweet, which is very Nice! There is also small "shop", with some nutbars, candy (marshmallows) and some meal mixtures.
We really recommend passing by. Be mindfull of their opening hours, couse they're only open during the weekend, including friday evening.

Pros: Friendly staff, Several cheeses

Best food I had in Madeira

Absolute gem to not miss! The pita with tofu and cream cheese was to die for. Perfect combo of flavours. The carrot cake is probably the best carrot cake I’ve ever had and I love carrot cake 😍🙏🏼🙌🏼 Highly recommend buying and picnicking in the nearby beach in Ponta do Sol. The takeaway box was plastic free 👌🏼👌🏼The couple working there was really nice and also gave us amazing tips for vegan spots in Lisbon! I hope to come back soon in this or my next stay in Madeira

Pros: Delicious natural food, Really friendly owners, Plenty of both eat-in and takeaway options

Amazing vegan cheese & cake

Super lovely owner, who sells homemade vegan cheese, quite a big variety. There is cured cheese, cream cheese, feta, etc. and amaaaaazing classic German cheesecake. Just all in vegan😄They also sell various vegan treats and you can sit down and have a coffee. Definitely a must-go if you’re in this area!

Pros: Cute place, Super lovely owner, Delicious products

Fully vegan cheeses!

It's a nice place with tasty cheese. We had a plate of 5 cheeses, smoked carrots (v-salmon), and the most fantastic cheesecake in my 34-year lifetime.
The owner is nice and sweet. She puts a lot of love into what she does, and it's nice that she provided some information about the cheese types and how they were made. If you need a cheese dealer in Madeira - she's the one :)
Keep in mind that on busy days, you might not find many options left (which was the case for us when we went there for the second time), so you might want to go there earlier in the day.

Pros: Super tasty cheesecake, Nice owner

A wonderful fully vegan find

We visited Veganaria for lunch and had the 5 cheese board, the carrot lux and a pitta pocket between 2 adults and 2 children. All the food was incredible, we all loved every single one of the cheeses on the board. I had a lovely wine to go with the cheese and we were welcomed so warmly and had plenty of assistance choosing what to order. Thank you for a wonderful lunch ❤️❤️

Pros: Vegan cheese, Ambience, Service

Amazing vegan cheese!

We absolutely loved the vegan cheese! They had lots of other great products on sale, all vegan, including vegan sweets and vegan treats. That was a freshly baked apple cake on the morning we visited and we had a couple of slices of this. It was delicious! The owner was a wonderful host. Very engaged and wonderful service, and great vegan tips for around Madeira.

Thank you!

A true serendipity!

First and foremost, delightful and most courteous service!

Then, the food. We had a piece of an excellent cheesecake with oreo base to share.
The coffee was not particularly to our taste, a bit thin - but maybe it’s just us.

As takeaway we had the cured cheeze, cured smoked jalapeño cheeze, both delicious (the smoked jalapeño really hot!), two cream cheezes (one with dried tomatoes and the other one with lime), also seriously good. The almond cheeze will travel home with us :)

A must for all vegans in Madeira, and certainly very interesting for all foodies.

Pros: The food, Service, Nice interior

Oh so good

Enjoyed our meal very much. Not only was the service friendly and courteous, the food was simply delicious.

We shared a 5 cheese plate and a piece of cheese cake with chocolate (kind of like a Zupfkuchen) which was a small but lovely lunch.
The carrot "salmon" would have been the cherry on top but we only realised afterwards that this was an option, too. Shame. But if they keep this up, this place will still exist when we come back. 😊
