Wonderful food! Higly recommended ❤️ - Edit
There is another address: C. Horno de la Merced, 115, Centro. More space to sit!
Read moreOne of the restaurants with the best vegan options I've ever been to! It has a complete vegan menu, with different types of food, from Arabic to burger. It also has desserts, juices and lemonades. Everything is homemade, with no processed or artificial foods. There are also gluten-free options. Everything is run by the local Guacyra (if I'm not mistaken), who is very friendly and attentive. Una reina!
The main thing is that everything was delicious! It's real food, a treat for the stomach. We had empanada, bourek, harira, stuffed eggplant, burger, soy pie, spring roll, pistachio pie and a cocoa sweet. We also had the mint lemonade.
If you're in Granada and you're vegan/vegetarian, this restaurant is a must-see. Especially if you're tired of eating falafel and hummus every day (which are also on the menu, by the way, and must be definitely great).
Anyway, the place is a gem. You can feel that everything is made with a lot of love. Thank you, Papas Elvira!
Obs: It’s sad that happy cow doesn’t allow 5 starts for restaurants that are not vegetarian 100%. It ignores the context of each place and also the efforts of the small businesses to spread the veg culture. Cows are not “happy” also with the milk being taken from them, so why vegetarian ones can have 5 stars? For me Papas Elvira is a 5 star! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Delicious - Edit
Had the stuffed eggplant and lentil soup. Both were fantastic. The eggplant was stuffed with couscous and veggies. The lentil soup was probably my favorite— it was well seasoned and not too assertive.
Read moreThe restaurant is extremely small and seating was a bit chaotic. We went in the afternoon on a Thursday after a visit to the Alhambra and there was about a 15 minute wait for a table. The owner was so sweet and welcoming. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a restaurant with both vegan and omni- options.
Pros: Many vegan options, Inexpensive, Friendly
Cons: Very limited seating, In direct view of the garbage bins

Friendly, tasty and cheap - Edit
Papas Elvira is a surprisingly small and inexpensive little place, fairly centrally located on a street (from which it gets it’s name) near the Cathedral. The Menu is somewhat small and meals have components in common, but it is mostly vegan/vegetarian-actually, and everything we tried was simple but delicious! There is a selection of pastries (savoury and sweet) as well as hot meals and a take out menu. The dishes themselves are varied and include a vegan lasagna, salad Elvrida and vegan burger, ect. Plus smoothies, hot drinks, cold drinks and when we went, a brilliant homemade lemonade. But the best thing about papas Elvrida was the proprietor. The woman who served us was absolutely lovely: friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. We were even given free
Read morePiononos (the traditional cake/dessert of the area.) It was apparent that people who came once then became regulars.
Pros: Lovely proprietor , Tasty food and lots for vegans , Really cheap
Cons: Very small/very limited space , A tad on the shabby side

Deceptively delicious - Edit
Most options were sold out, and I wasn't feeling like falafel, but I ordered the Ensalada Elvira anyway. It was really delicious, perfect to share for a light lunch.

buenísimo! - Edit
I would give 5 stars if I could :]
Read moreA lot of vegan options, great atmosphere and service, good prices, and - what's most important - wonderful food! I've been in Spain for 2 moths now for an Erasmus program and it was the first time I have found a vegan Tortilla de Patatas for 3 euros!!! I also had an Empanada con Calabaza [with pumpkin] and oh Lord, it was the best thing I've eaten for a very long time. Definitely 5 STARS!!!
I'd love the local to be bigger to eat in a big, open space with friends!😒
Pros: food, time, price
Cons: small local! :c

A Granadino must try - Edit
A great range of vegan options at a very cheap price given the quality and the portions. The owner is friendly and helpful and makes sure she gets you a space in her lovely little hole in the wall -it’s well worth the wait if there’s a queue!

Mostly vegan, delicious Moroccan food - Edit
I was impressed by the food here. Many many vegan options and the staff is knowledgeable about veganism so they will help.

The best homemade food - Edit
Loads of homemade vegan options. The owner is so welcoming - it’s like being invited in to her home. Small place but the owner will do her best to fit you in and even if you have to wait it won’t be long. Or you can takeaway and sit in nearby square. Food is delicious and very cheap. Big portions. Lots of dessert options too.

GENIAL - Edit
Fuimos a comer aqui por recomendación de nuestro guía y que agradable sorpresa.
Read moreLa persona que nos atendió fue super amable y nos explicó que el 80% de su menú era vegetal, con muchísimas opciones veganas y sin glúten (pastelas con varios rellenos, empanadillas, tortilla de patata, platos de cuchara, hamburguesa...).
Nosotras pedimos varias cosas para compartir y estaba todo exquisito. Se notaba que era comida casera, hecha con mucho cariño y a unos precios bajos.
Tenían al menos dos postres veganos y uno de ellos también sin gluten (este último lo pedimos para llevar porque estábamos llenas).
Además, también tienen unas amplia selección de pasteles tradicionales, todos ellos veganos.
Nosotras volvimos el día que nos íbamos y nos llevamos una caja con algunos de ellos.
El local es pequeño pero la localización es excelente, en un punto muy conveniente. Por esto, recomendaríamos ir temprano, ya que suele tener bastante afluencia
Pros: Muchas opciones veganas y sin gluten , Precios muy competitivos , Personal amable
