No volvería - Edit
Molaba muchísimo más antes con los anteriores dueños, la carta era infinitamente mejor. Ahora ha cambiado; ya no es tan buena, echo de menos el pan bao, los tacos, y de los precios mejor no hablamos.

Good food, great staff - Edit
Was lovely to eat here once we found it. The restaurant is located in a supermarket area. Dining inside and outside. Limited seating so make sure to book.
Read moreStaff super friendly and joyful. Food was good. Would recommend and would come back.
The tomato sauce that came with the no meatballs was really superb - could eat that with a spoon!
Would have loved some sides options, such as vegetables or garlic bread.
Hope this is a success because the guys were so great. Please do visit and support this little place!
Pros: Food, Staff
Cons: Could do with some sides like garlic bread , Location - way out the way and hidden in a market

Gorgeous vegan Italian food - Edit
Buena Vida is inside a shopping centre, don’t let that put you off. It is open air and they have decorated it with lots of plants so it is a lovely setting. The food was amazing, we had the lasagna which was some of the best I’ve tried. Then we had the tiramisu which was a real treat. If you are in Adeje and are vegan you must go here
Read morePros: Flavour, Friendliness of staff, Options you don’t often see on a vegan menu

Amazing vegan Italian food - Edit
This was probably one of the best vegan restaurants ive ever been to.
Read moreThe food is incredible. They make their own mozzarella and it is to die for an absolute must try. We tried the caprese salad, meatballs, lasanga and linguine puttanesca. Everything was amazing i would highly recommend trying here when in tenerfife!

Fantastic! - Edit
Just like everyone else has commented here: the food tastes really good, these guys know what they're doing.
Read moreMy partner had the "meat balls" and I had the paella, we also had the vegan cheese plater and for dessert the passion fruit cake which was just delicious, the most delicious vegan cake i've ever had and I've had many!!!
I have been to many vegan and vegetarian restaurants around the world and I'm very focused on quality, so believe me when I say this is top notch!
To bring the score even higher, the service is also very good, the guys working there are friendly and it feels like they care for their customers.
Yet, if you cannot put value on such good food and understand that people need to make a living, then you'll think this restaurant is expensive, but if you understand economics and value real good food, then well, you get it! It's worth it, ok?
Pros: Quality of the food, Friendly staff
Cons: Location

Gorgeous food - Edit
Food is absolutely lovely. I had the huera paella and the fake chicken was very tasty (and I was very happy to find some fake meat in Tenerife!). It was quiet when we came on a Saturday night about 8pm and you don’t need a reservation. Recommend!

Amazing desserts - Edit
Great food, we had the lasagna and the paella and both were delicious. Desserts were definitely the best part, we had the cheesecake and tiramisu and both absolutely top draw. A touch pricey for the portions but still great food and a must for any vegan visiting Costa adeje (in my opinion).

Wow! - Edit
If more vegan restaurants were like this one, we (vegans) would make up 100% of the population.
Read moreWe had mushroom ceviche, beetroot carpaccio, and an amazing caprese with homemade mozzarella. We ended the dinner with a cheesecake and a delicious tiramisù. Everything was special, with great attention to detail and flavor combinations.
The staff are passionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly.
Highly recommended — thank you!

AMAZING & 100% VEGAN! - Edit
We've been here twice so far on our trip and the food is amazing! hosting staff and waiters are wonderfully kind, and even have me a list of other vegan restaurants near by! the tiramisu and the chocolate salami is to die for, and the passionfruit cheesecake was so refreshing. the paella, both the vegetable and huera were very flavourful, and the lasagne was super tasty too. The hummus with harissa glazed carrots and pita bread was a perfect little starter, and the nona's meatballs were also perfect. my dad who is not a vegan has thoroughly enjoyed eating here. definitely recommend!! #Veganuary
