Sooo nice, community-oriented!

(Closed Mondays and Sundays.) What a pleasant surprise! Like a local place where Spanish families with their grandmothers go. When we arrived at 15:00 it was still crowded but after waiting 3 min we got a table. Most people probably come right after it opens at 12:30, but there is still PLENTY of food later on also😄Delicious, fresh, a lot of vegan options. And very very affordable!
Watch the new opening times.

Great

Lovely little buffet with plenty of choice.

Most options (85%) were vegan. The ratatouille was delightful.

Highly recommend.

Ms

Lovely selection of both hot and cold foods, I’d say about 75% vegan and well separated from dairy.
Very reasonable too. €45 for 3 people including a delicious juice and 2 beers

Pros: Choice of hot and cold food, Quick service , Freshly made juice

Cons: Nothing

My favorite restaurant in Fuengirola

The buffet had several vegan options (more than vegetarian) and the options were clearly marked. The vegan food was really delicious and it had Finnish vibes and I mean it in a good way. For example, grated carrot. Our group really liked the food. The soy balls were especially good. Juices were sold separately. I recommend a carrot-apple-ginger juice. It's the best!

Cozy affordable vegetarian buffet

It is a small buffet for lunch. There are a salads part and a hot dishes part. In my opinion, being small it is positive as the trays are refilled constantly. Although it is a vegetarian restaurant, I missed more proteins in the dishes. They have it however, if it had more of it, it would be perfect. Anyway I enjoyed so much and definitely I will come back.

Pros: Tasty food , They are bringing just made food frequently , Affordable

Cons: A bit more proteins in food

Small but very nice buffet

It was a very busy day at Vegetalia (Saturday early afternoon) but fortunately we didn't have to wait long for a table. It is quite a small restaurant and buffet, but the dishes to choose from were delicious (and all vegan on our day)! Also nice salad bar. Good price (10,90€).

Excellent lunch buffet with lots of vegetables

Varied all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, with several hot dishes and lots of salad. The dishes change every day, are tasty and contain lots of vegetables, which I really really appreciate.

Nice to be able to pick and choose, as well. I could eat here every day.

Good if you fancy a salad

My partner and I visited Vegetalia while in Fuengirola and although it filled a hole it kinda left us wanting more. It's 10 Euros for an all you can eat buffet, which sounds good, but in reality the dishes are mostly just salads with very little in the way of hot food. The hot food that was available was very bland and offered very little choice. There was a veggie paella, a tomato and veg stew and a seitan stew that really needed an accompaniment that wasn't just paella or warm quinoa.
The salad selection was good, and fairly varied, I just think other restaurants and veggie buffets offer a better selection. Oh, and there was no tap water available - we were charged 3 Euros for bottled water, boo!

Pros: Lots of Salad

Cons: No tap water , Limited hot options

This was my favourite restaurant on my winter vacation 2019. Tasty food, affordable pricing and friendly service, I couldn't ask for more from a restaurant.

Riquísimo!

Exquisito buffet libre vegetariano. Restaurante acogedor. Siempre hay buffet de comida fría (ensaladas, salsas, verduras cocidas, salteadas, etc.) y comida caliente (que varía todos los dias: albóndigas, curry, arroz, lasaña, etc.). La mayoría de las comidas son veganas, está todo señalizado pero igualmente las chicas te informan sobre los platos que no lo son e intentan "veganizartelo" en cocina.
La bebida se paga aparte, tienes zumos naturales, infusiones, agua y bebidas con alcohol.

Estupendo sitio!

lovely stuff

Very friendly English speaking staff/owner. especially for those looking lost on their first visit there. A nice selection of hot and cold food in the buffet. A great bargain at 8.95 euro for as much as you want to eat. sadly I went there with a full belly but still had a lovely meal that was cheap.

Pros: English speaking, friendly, Great price
