Alright but not great

El Limon is a cosy restaurant in a quiet street of Puerto de la Cruz. We had the menu of the day, which was ok but nothing special. Portions were rather small and I was still hungry after the 3-plates menu.

Pros: Location, Friendly staff

Cons: Quality, Quantity

Gemütliches Lokal

Vegane Gerichte sind gekennzeichnet. Wir hatten Zwiebelringe und ein Seitan Panini. Gute Portion, Preis ok.
Lokal ist süß eingerichtet und hat gemütliches Ambiente.

Pros: Vegane Optionen

Ein supergemütlicher Laden...

Waren hier gleich mehrmals in unserem Urlaub um uns vegan über Wasser zu halten. Der Laden ist zwar vegetarisch, die vegane Zubereitung ist hier aber alles andere als Fremdwort. Davon müsste es mehr in Spanien geben. Daumen hoch!

Perfect for a light meal

Good atmosphere, great juices and salads. Do not be very pretentious when coming. Do not expect very elaborated dishes as well. Considering that most probably you are going to be on holidays in Tenerife, a light meal is really appreciated.

Pros: good price, fabulous juices

Nice location, very much fast food

Nice little spot, they do also have a table or two outside, but they're opposite so not that obvious to spot. Do ask what's vegan - it's not clearly labelled or obvious (the tofu burger has blue cheese sauce for instance). Their fresh juices are lovely. They also do a set menu every day (not on the menu though), of main course, small juice, salad and cake. Not all their staff speak English. Stir fry, rice snd salads were nice. And some great pressed juices.

Pros: Friendly staff , Great juices , Nice little spot

Cons: Hard to work out what's vegan , Mostly fast food

Delicious fast food

Nice place in a beautiful old building in the city centre. The staff was really nice and could tell us which dishes were vegan and which were not.
We had burgers, sandwiches and fries. The salad for starter was ok (for the price maybe a bit uninspired), the vegan pastry and cappuccino both were tasty.
They have menus in various languages, but since we speak Spanish we don't know about their language skills.

Pros: cosy interior, easy getting a table at 9.30pm

Cons: Fries not homemade

Excellent

Really nice place to eat. Staff were very friendly and capable. They spoke good English and were happy and able to point out what was vegan and what was not. Fairly easy to find too.

Excellent and Reasonably priced

We stayed in Puerto de la Cruz for two weeks and ate here twice for lunch. The food was excellent and the service quick and friendly. It was great to find somewhere offering something different from all the other restaurants a lot of which offered exactly the same vegetarian options - pizza, pasta and a couple of tapas dishes.

El Limon offered a range of simple, tasty vegetarian and vegan food. Their homemade burgers were really tasty, as was their seitan dish and their tofu. They also do fresh juice combinations and none of it was "worthy". Highly recommended.

Good for veg* but no organic food

Good mix of fast food style but all vegetarian in a nice atmosphere located in a very nice building in the center of the city. They do not however serve any organic food. "This is a vegetarian/vegan restaurant" was the answer we received from the very polite staff when we asked if their food is organic. This was not enough for us. But if their food had been organic we would probably have loved it. They have been around for 20 years but should evolve and go the organic way.

Pros: vegan alternatives

Cons: not organic

an oasis

we found it difficult to find vegetarian food in North Tenerife and then discovered El Limon---delicious and fresh dishes , vegan options and juices.
All this with friendly staff and not too pricey.
Not a mention of German Sausage!!

Pros: delicious, plenty , fruit juices

Not bad but not great either

Nice rustic cafe, and the service was pleasant enough. The fresh juice was very nice, although everything else we had was pretty average. The Quorn dishes were not available the day we visited, so we both had the vegetable kebab, which came accompanied by salad and a veggie sausage. The kebab and salad were ok but unremarkable, although the sausage was quite nice. We each finished with a piece of carrot cake, which was satisfactory, and to be fair, the portions were quite generous and reasonably priced. Overall verdict - Wouldn't rush to go back, but it's not one to be avoided either.

Pros: Location, Reasonably priced

Cons: Average food

Great vegetarian and vegan food

I spend 1 week in Teneriffa in february and visited Puerto de la Cruz, where I found El Limon. The service is super friendly (although their English knowledge is very limited) and informed me about vegan dishes. I got the dish of the day, which was a yummy soup with carrots an a main dish composed of seitan with mushrooms, salad with sesame and wheat with vegetables. The food was excellent and not expensive. I would abolutely recommand the restaurant!

Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, great value

Hi Veganisator, I thought your input on this place was helpful. I gave their juice a try as well, but went somewhere else for dinner.
