Fantástico, para repetir

Se agradeció comer tan bien en la isla, la comida muy bien hecha, nos sentimos muy contentas después. La pareja que lleva el restaurante es tan amable, servicio excellente, la posición delante de la playa fue perfecta.
Comimos la lasagna, batata con heura y verduras, tortilla de patata, todo sabroso y hecho con cuidado y amor. Precios buenos.

Pros: Todo!!!

Mejor vegano de Tenerife

The food is great, good value for money, and it is located in a very quiet place.
The staff is very attentive and friendly, the place is very clean and welcoming. Everything I have to say about this site is good, for me, the best vegan in Tenerife.
You have to reserve because it is always full.

La comida está estupenda, buena relación calidad precio, y está ubicado en un sitio muy tranquilo.
El personal es muy atento y amable, el local es muy limpio y acogedor. Todo lo que tengo que decir de éste sitio es bueno, para mí, el mejor vegano de Tenerife.
Hay que reservar porque siempre está a tope.

Pros: Restaurant 100% vegano.

Delicioso

Todo estaba riquísimo, comida local y casera con un servicio muy rápido y amable. Aunque hay pocas opciones en la carta ofrecen una tapa degustación de modo que puedes probar varios platos. Las raciones son abundantes y también ofrecen varias opciones para el postre.

Todo riquísimo, una pena no vivir en Tenerife

Para mi Samelo Veg es la definición de placer de comer, cada sabor que descubres, notar que todo es elaborado por ellos, de calidad, les sale riquísimo y es saludable. De las pocas veces desde que soy vegana que disfruto más comiendo fuera que en casa, toda una experiencia. Mi acompañante omnívoro salió maravillado también. La terraza muy bien y el trato inmejorable.

Amazing!

Delicious local and seasonal food cooked and served with a lot of love! Nice venue and very friendly stuff. Cheescake is amazing. I only wish they had at least some raw vegan options. Definitely do go there if you are on Tenerife, and make sure you book in advance as it tends to be very busy.

Amazing food & Amazing staff!

Love that everything is local and seasonal. The menu changes often so there are no printed menus to prevent waste which was cool. The staff did an excellent job describing all the dishes. We had a large sharing plate which included small portions of the most popular dishes and ravioli. Everything was delicious!

Best vegan in Tenerife

Lots of options, lots of flavours, best vegan place in Tenerife for sure. The people working there are always smiling and love what they do for real. And you can truly taste that love! You have to book on advance, since it is always full ( and rightfully so! ). Do try the "Hulks" and fall in love with it...

desilución

Después de leer tan buenas críticas, lo de reservar con mucha antelación, siempre que pasaba por ahí estaba todo lleno, tenía muchísimas ganas de ir. Al fin cuadra el día y no sé si fue un mal día, algún cambio... pero me pareció todo soso. Pedimos el plato de degustación, me esperaba más, era básico. Aparte también ñoquis con tomate y albahaca (todavía estoy buscando la albahaca). Se dejaron un trozo de plástico dentrooo, parecía de la bolsa de tomate q tendrían hecho al vacío y ¿¿risotto de shiitake?? Arroz con tomate grasiento y aparte hicieron las setas y lo mezclaron, el pan trajeron tres diferentes, uno amarillo no se de que era, no sabia a nada, por el color diría curri, los otros eran normales. Después de la experiencia no pedí postre. Lo siento muchísimo pero me pareció el peor sitio donde he comido.
Por ser vegano/vegetariano no se debe aceptar una cocina básica y premiarla. Un risotto de setas si es malo en un vegano, es malo en cualquier otro restaurante. La cocina es un arte que no se debería despreciar.

Incredible Food

This has to be some of the best vegan food in existence. The cheeses that they are whipping up are out of this world. The pastas are homemade. The chocolate desserts are to die for.

Definitely try the sampler plate while you're there. For €15, it's sure to fill up 2 people and you'll get to try some of their most famous dishes. The flavors were phenomenal. Can't wait to go back!

Pros: Incredible Food, Outdoor Seating, Great staff

INCREÍBLE

El mejor sitio vegano que he probado hasta ahora en la isla. El servicio fue estupendo, súper amable y te explican todo. La comida está riquísima, entra por los ojos y por el estómago. Le doy un 10 en todo!

Pros: comida , servicio , ambiente

Cons: localización (Abades está lejos del núcleo urbano , reservar siempre con antelación porque se llena

High Cuisine

The only downside of this restaurant is the location, you will need a vehicle and have to drive there, but if you have the opportunity to do so, don't miss this place as it is an incredible foodie experience! Nice restaurant, first line on the beach road, huge inside and a good outdoor sitting area which had several reservations and was full at the time of our visit on a random weekday. It was not hard to understand why: the food was amazing and attention to detail impressive. You immediately appreciate the use of quality ingredients and advanced cooking techniques, a perfect example being the variety of nut cheeses and sauces. Prices are not cheap but totally in line with the quality of what is offered. There is a degustation platter which offers you the opportunity to try most of their dishes...overall highly recommended

Pros: Excellent cuisine, Quality ingredients

Cons: location

Deeeliciousa!

They were very busy, anyway they made the best food I had yet on Tenerife. Rather expensive, but worth every cent. Sweet Italians caring for the people and the food and the planet.

Pros: Tasty as heaven.

Estupendo sin pegas!, frente al mar.

No es zona de paso, pero quien quiere degustar una rica comida Vegana ha de venir a probar Samelo.
Valentina la propietaria te atiende personalmente y explica lo que puedes comer. Tienen Kefir casero de agua, muy sano y delicioso, también Kombucha pero ya embotellado. Postres ricos, naturales y desde luego todo es preparado al momento con cariño y eso se nota. El queso de Mozzarella aún no entiendo cómo puede ser sin leche animal, es idéntico al de búfala. Y esa tortilla Española, que si no dicen que es Vegana, nadie lo notaría, creo fue lo que más me asombro!!!!!
El local bonito, amplio y con buena vibra.
Sin problemas de aparcamiento.

Vorzügliches Essen

Wir waren heute im Samelo zum Mittagessen. Glücklicherweise waren wir früh dran und bekamen so noch den letzten freien Tisch ohne zu reservieren. Alle die nach uns kamen und nicht reserviert hatten, bekamen leider keinen Platz mehr. Also, wer hier essen möchte, sollte unbedingt reservieren.
Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und während dem Essen fürstlich betreut.
Da uns die Auswahl aus dem reichhaltigen Angebot nicht leicht fiel, wählten wir die Plato Degustacion. Diese bestand aus sechs verschiedenen Gerichten vom Tagesmenue.
Ebenso sensationell waren die Kuchen und der Espresso.
Alles war appetitlich, originell und mit viel Liebe angerichtet und schmeckte vorzüglich.
Vielen Dank dem ganzen Team für den unvergesslichen Besuch bei euch.

Pros: Grosse Auswahl , alles Vegan

We were in Tenerife and planned to try a vegan restaurant, so we find Samelo in Abades.

My wife ate vegan ravioli and I tried burrito.
Both was delicious:)

We tried the green smoothie also, and it was great!

But I think all the food tasty because the owners cooking from heart:)And thats's the point.Thank you again.

Pros: Near the ocean, Really creative, Most of the ingredients from the island of Tenerif

Cons: Please pizza for every day:)

Excellent food and nice staff

We went for a bite after we went swimming in Abades. We had the "plata degustacion" for three people and it was plenty and very delicious! We got lentils with potatoes, homemade cheese (from oat-yoghurt and corn flour) with tomatoes, zoodles with goji and tomato, eggplant gratin, bread with homemade spread, grilled seitan, tofu strips and bell pepper and fries with homemade ketchup and mayonnaise.
As dessert we had cheesecake and chocolate cake with coffee (you can get oat, soy, rice or almond milk).
Everything was freshly made and really, really delicious. The best food in Teneriffe so far! The menu changes daily so there is only a Spanish menu. However, the staff is very nice and explains everything if you don't speak Spanish. The kitchen is open so you can watch your food being prepared and you are encuraged to ask the chef about ingredients and preparation.

Pros: Best cheese ever, everything is homemade, very nice staff, healthy, low fat

New Vegan Restaurant in Tenerife

Really nice, new vegan restaurant, run by an italian couple in Abades, south of Tenerife, Canarian Islands, Spain. They just opened in December 2015. The restaurant is really close by the beach, so perfect to visit after a swim in the ocean. The staff is super friendly and always tries to make you happy and feel comfortable. They also are very flexible if you have any allergies (gluten free). They have a small but weekly and seasonal changing menu. Easiest way to see what’s going on, is to check out their Facebook site. They also offer home made bread, muffins, cakes, juices and shakes. Almost all products are organic or come directly from the island. They also collaborate together with a local organic food network (http://avacanaria.org/) and distribute the products - self made organic beer and apple juice for example.
+ Free WIFI - What else do you need? So they have everything to make a 21st century vegan happy :)

Pros: Easy to reach, Very friendly staff, Fair prices
