Decent food. Not cosy, not great for kids. - Edit
This is a small tapas bar with two outside tables as well. They do veganized versions of classic tapas. We tried about 5 and they were all quite good. They didn't have much vegetables though, except pimentos de padron.
Read moreOne downside is that they only have high tables, so it's not very kid friendly. The first visit we left without eating. The 2nd time I found a child seat in the toilets but it was still not high enough for the table. Both times the staff didn't even tell us they have a child seat...

(Greasy) vegan tapas - Edit
Delayed review based on visit in February 2026:
Read moreI had been excited to try vegan versions of the tapas I had enjoyed as a vegetarian. Unfortunately the taste here was off for me, being too greasy and oily. There is not much seating and what is there is uncomfortable, being high tables and stools. The staff was not friendly and did not explain that it was a QR code menu until we went up to the counter to ask.
Three star experience with one star added for being fully vegan.
Pros: All vegan
Cons: Too greasy and oily taste, Uncomfortable and little seating, Unfriendly staff

Finally "real" vegan tapas - Edit
As a vegan, you rarely get to eat greasy, salty, delicious tapas. Because tapas usually means cheese, sausage and fish. But this place has got you covered!

Really tasty food - Edit
Good food, freshly prepared. I began with a vermouth-and-soda, enjoyed a large salad (with black olives), two croquettes-of-the-day and a cutlet topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese. Wish I had time in town to try more of the menu.
Read moreThe menu is by QR code, but it works fine.
Pros: all vegan

All vegan! But expensive, and didn’t satisfier any hunger - Edit
It was quite busy, so we had high hopes. But the portions were really small, the menu lacked vegetable options, and we left still hungry.

Hit & miss food, underwhelming venue - Edit
It's nice to have a place where there are so many vegan tapas options because it can be hard around here to have more than the basics on offer. However, some of the dishes here were definitely more exciting than others. I loved the fried fish (very realistic!) and the Russian salad with tuna!
Read moreThe venue though is very small and unexciting.

All vegan tapas - Edit
Called in here late in the evening for a snack. We didn’t want anything too rich so ordered croquettes, omelette and Russian salad. It was all pretty rich to be honest. Really delicious. A big menu. All vegan. Hoping to go back and try more dishes tomorrow.

Excellent spot for vegan Spanish classics and seafood lovers alike - Edit
What they did well:
Read moreLa Vegana Tapería is a lovely place to enjoy vegan versions of traditional Spanish dishes. The menu is wide, creative, and beautifully presented — great for anyone who misses Spanish classics or seafood but wants them plant-based. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff are friendly and helpful.
How they could earn 5 stars:
Personally, I don’t really miss meat or seafood, so I’d love to see more natural, less processed options — more vegetables, legumes, or homemade dishes instead of the imitation meats. Some dishes also seem to be reheated in the microwave, which takes away from the freshness a bit.
Pros: Great variety of vegan Spanish tapas, Big menu with creative tapas and seafood alternati, Friendly service
Cons: A bit too focused on imitation meat and seafood, Frequent microwave use for heating dishes, Could offer more natural, less processed options

SIMPLY AMAZING!!! - Edit
I'm in awe - everything was SO delicious and I felt like I'm getting the authentic Spanish tapas experience for the first time as a vegan. Even the "shrimps" and "octopus" were so close to the real thing, even my mixed-diet companion was confused. Will definitely come again ❤️
Read morePros: Delicious tapas, Attentive staff, On a cute street, a couple tables outside

Main Memory of Malaga! - Edit
Without a doubt, the most memorable food eaten in Malaga 2025 (although other restaurants are available)! La Vegana Taperia far excelled expectation and I have nothing but praise for the menu choices and serving staff. (I was happily surprised, as the day before I had popped in for info but found a couple of staff members unhelpful.) The food was nicely presented and tasted incredible. We had Cappaccio de Octopus, Patatas Bravas and a (huge) Russian Salad. Simple food with top notch taste. Pricing is modest, location is very close to Picasso Plazza, and the local area is slightly bohemian. I am so glad we returned and shall make a point of revisiting whenever possible.
Read morePros: Modest pricing for decent sized portions , 100% Vegan, Well thought out menu choices

We have since revisited and again had a really great experience. This time we chose the Russo Salad and a Beef Bao as our edible victims. They did not disappoint! Also, the pricing is actually particularly modest so increase your tips!

Super bueno! - Edit
No esperaba encontrarme esta taperia pero que buena suerte! Pedí la tortilla de patatas y el pincho de gambas, podría haber pedido más ya que me apetecían bastantes cosas del menú. Servicio fue rápido. Las recetas pueden ser mejoradas, la comida estaba bien pero no tan buena como podría llegar a ser.

Good to have vegan options but not amazing - Edit
I was a bit disappointed by this restaurant. It was good to have lots of vegan options however some were not great. Tasty options were the bravas, ‘meatballs’, croquettes and padron peppers. Lots of the food was fried and some dishes could have been improved such as the vegan tortilla which tasted bland. Overall, not sure it’s worthy of the 5 star reviews.
