Finding the best vegan restaurants in Valencia isn’t difficult at all. There may not be many vegan options in this city, but the options are super tasty! Valencia is known for being the garden of Europe, so you’ll find lots of vegetable-forward dishes here.
As a vegetarian myself (and someone who’s lived here since 2018) – I have a lot of experience with this! So here are my favorite vegan restaurants Valencia offers.
The Best Vegan Restaurants in Valencia
Valencia’s vegan scene ranges from cozy neighborhood cafés to trendy fusion spots that’ll make for a great IG photo.
I’ve categorized these into fully vegan establishments and vegetarian restaurants with excellent vegan options, so you know exactly what you’re getting into.
Plus, most of these spots are located in the city center or the trendy Russafa neighborhood, making them easy to hit during your tour of the city.

Fully Vegan Restaurants
These restaurants are 100% plant-based, so you can order anything on the menu without worry!
Café Madrigal
- Website: Café Madrigal
- Neighborhood: Russafa
- Price: €
- Location: C/ de Puerto Rico, 41, 46006
Located in the heart of Russafa, Café Madrigal is a small cafe offering vegan food and drinks since 2018, serving food all-day long. This cozy spot has mastered the art of making traditional breakfast items completely plant-based.
And they honestly do a fantastic job.
Especially if you decide to get a hotel in Russafa, this is the perfect breakfast spot.
What sets Café Madrigal apart is their incredible variety. They offer everything from a classic truita de creïlles (potato omelette) to a vegan “faux” gras.
Personally, I really like their apple crumble, but I thought the chocolate chip cookies were a little dry.
It’s perfect for breakfast or a lighter lunch!
Khambú
- Website: Khambú
- Neighborhood: El Carme
- Price: €€
- Location: C/ de Quart, 41b, 46001
Khambú started as a food truck and turned into a brick-and-mortar restaurant in April 2017, offering plant-based fast food.
This is my #1 vegan restaurant in Valencia, and it’s where I always go.
Think burgers, wraps, hot dogs, desserts – but all completely vegan and very satisfying.
Plus, it’s just 2 minutes away from the Torres de Quart, so it’s easy to get to if you’re in the city center.
And the menu changes regularly, so there’s always something new to try, but their classics like “La Indiana” burger (a fake chicken burger that is my go-to) are consistently excellent.
What I love about Khambú is that it proves vegan fast food doesn’t have to be boring or healthy all the time. Sometimes you just want a greasy burger and fries, and this place delivers exactly that.
Bonus: The staff here speaks English very well, so you won’t have a problem if you still need to work on your Valencian travel phrases.
Let It Bloom
- Website: Find them on Instagram @letitbloomvalencia
- Neighborhood: Russafa
- Price: €€
- Location: C/ de Francesc Sempere, 4,
Let It Bloom is a vegan breakfast and brunch restaurant and coffee shop in Russafa, and is Happy Cow approved.
This Russafa vegan restaurant offers specialty coffee sets in a casual environment, with dishes including tostades, chickpea omelettes, croissants, tofu scramble, baked goods, and more.
But, it’s quite new (they opened in 2024), so they are still changing things every once in a while. If you’re looking for a vegan brunch option, this is a good spot.
They don’t have anything traditional or Valencian, but if you just want a nice cup of coffee and a light brunch, then I can recommend it.
MESTIZA
- Website: MESTIZA Instagram
- Neighborhood: El Cabanyal
- Price: €€
- Location: C/ de la Reina, 186, 46011
MESTIZA is an all-vegan fusion restaurant serving an array of international meals.
The best part is that they’re located in the beachside neighborhood of El Cabanyal. Since everything else on this list is towards the center, this is your go-to if you’re planning on enjoying a beach day.
They have foods like jackfruit tacos, vegan meatballs, gyozas, etc. So they mostly focus on tapes and plates that can be shared.
Which is always great, so you can try multiple things!
Again — it’s not a very “traditional” restaurant, so you won’t find a vegetarian paella. But it’s a great tapes spot!
The Nature Restaurant
- Website: The Nature Facebook
- Neighborhood: Extramurs
- Price: €
- Location: Plaça de Vannes, 7, 46007
This is one of the most well-known vegan restaurants in Valencia. The Nature offers an Asian international buffet.
And it’s the holy grail for budget-conscious vegans who also happen to have bottomless appetites.
The buffet style means you can try a bit of everything without committing to a single dish. The food became all vegan in 2015, and there’s a ton of variety.
One of the best things is that it’s located right outside the city center. And the reason that is so nice is because it has maintained it’s affordability! Highly recommend.
Lo de Ponxe
- Website: Lo de Ponxe Facebook
- Neighborhood: Extramurs
- Price: €€
- Location: C/ de Guillem de Castro, 80
Lo de Ponxe is one of the best vegan restaurants in Valencia if you’re looking for a healthy, tasty meal to reinvigorate your soul after so much traveling.
The restaurant is located right outside the center, in the Botànic neighborhood of Extramurs, giving it a relaxed, laid-back vibe that feels like a welcome escape from the bustling tourist areas.
This is right on the border between the Old Town and Botànic, so it’s not far away at all.
One thing to note is that every time I’ve been, they simply have a “fixed” menu. Which means they offer just a couple options, and you get what they make that day.
And since they use a lot of local ingredients, it makes complete sense. I’m always a fan of environmentally-conscious restaurants!
Vegetarian Restaurants with Excellent Vegan Options
Now let’s move on to some vegetarian restaurants that also have vegan foods. These spots aren’t fully vegan but have extensive plant-based menus that rival any dedicated vegan restaurant.
➡️ Here’s my full article on vegetarian restaurants in Valencia.
Copenhagen
- Website: Copenhagen Instagram
- Neighborhood: Russafa
- Price: €€
- Location: C/ del Literat Azorín, 8, 46006
Copenhagen is a vegetarian heaven for anyone coming to visit the city. This long-standing restaurant has a tasty and varied menu that goes far beyond your typical “salad and a veggie burger”.
Plus, it’s right in the heart of Russafa!
It’s one of my favorite spots, especially in terms of quality.
And the restaurant is fully vegetarian with many vegan options and is reasonably priced. You can also get a hearty Menú del Dia during the week.
Their croquetes are amazing, and I also really like their pasta options. And their jackfruit tacos. Also, their fried artichoke…
And like, everything else!
They also own the restaurant Oslo, which quite similar!
Jardin Urbano
- Website: Instagram
- Neighborhood: Russafa
- Price: €€
- Location: C/ de Pere III el Gran, 26
Jardin Urbano is a vegetarian & vegan restaurant that has a little bit of everything. It’s a bit more focused on “health foods”, so if you want to get some greens in you — this is where to come.
It’s a restaurant, café, and store all at once. Plus, they often have cultural events, host coworker spaces, etc. It’s a very community-forward space.
Also, I’ve been here several times and it’s usually a safe bet. To be honest — it isn’t my favorite vegan restaurant, but it is quite good.
What I like the most is that it has a ton of variety! So if you want options, here’s where you’ll get it!
La Casa Viva
- Website: La Casa Viva
- Neighborhood: Russafa
- Price: €€
- Location: C/ de Cadis, 76, 46006
La Casa Viva is a vegetarian restaurant with excellent food. This is one of my favorite spots to take people to.
The original one is from a small town called Tavernes de la Valldigna, which was so successful, they opened in Russafa!
They provide vegan options by using house-made vegan cheese. So you can get a vegan pizza if you’d like!
I really like their pastas, and they have a ton of tapes to choose from. I wouldn’t call it 100% Valencian food, but you get a lot of Mediterranean food.
This is also a great spot to try out some post-meal Valencian liquors, like Mistela.
International Vegan Options
Valencia’s international community has brought flavors from around the world, and many of these restaurants offer excellent vegan options.
Unsushi
- Website: Unsushi.es
- Neighborhood: Ciutat Vella
- Price: €€
- Location: C/ de Murillo, 31
Unsushi brings innovative plant-based sushi to Valencia with creative vegan options that go far beyond the typical cucumber and avocado rolls.
In other words, this sushi restaurant has embraced the challenge of making exceptional vegan sushi, using ingredients like Heura (a Barcelona plant-based meat alternative).
It’s one of my favorite sushi spots in Valencia. And it’s a great place to go if you’re traveling with people that want non-vegan options, too.
I really like that they go beyond the boring “cucumber roll” and have really reimagined what plant-based sushi can be.
Just make sure you book in advance! They fill up super quickly.
Almalibre
- Website: Almalibre
- Neighborhood: El Carme
- Price: €
- Location: C/ de Roteros, 16
Almalibre is my husband’s favorite veggie option.
It’s a health-food focus restaurant with lots of açai bowls!
This small franchise brings healthy fast-casual dining to Valencia, with locations in Barcelona and Madrid as well. They’re famous for their açai bowls, but they also serve sandwiches with a waffle bread that I am obsessed with.
So the casual café-style atmosphere makes it perfect for a quick breakfast, post-workout meal, or afternoon pick-me-up.
I consider it more of a “Sunday morning” restaurant, but waffles are good any time of day!
Tips for Vegan Dining in Valencia
Valencia has become increasingly vegan-friendly. Especially compared to when I first moved here! But here are a few things to know to make it easier for you:
Learn Key Phrases
Even at dedicated vegan restaurants, it’s helpful to know a few Valencian phrases.
“És vegà?” (Is it vegan?) and “Sense productes animals” (Without animal products) will serve you well. Most staff at the restaurants mentioned speak English, but locals always appreciate the effort to use Valencian.
➡️ Here’s my list of travel phrases.
Make Reservations
Valencia’s vegan scene is popular with both locals and tourists, so many of these spots fill up quickly, especially on weekends.
Most of these can get booked online directly, so you don’t have to worry about calling!
Explore Beyond the Center
While many vegan restaurants Valencia offers are concentrated in the center and Russafa, don’t be afraid to venture out to neighborhoods like El Cabanyal or Extramurs.
Some of the best experiences are just a short metro ride away.
Try Local Specialties
Don’t just stick to international cuisine – many traditional Valencian dishes are naturally vegan or easily adapted. Paella de verdures, esgarraet (roasted vegetables), and pà amb tomaca are all delicious plant-based options that connect you with local food culture.
Here are a few resources for you:
Beyond Just Restaurants
While there are a lot of vegan restaurants, Valencia also has great plant-based meals you can try.
The Central Market is a must-visit for any food lover, with incredible fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and olives. Many of the vendors are happy to let you sample their products, too.
So it’s a great way to stock up on snacks for beach days or picnics in the Turia Gardens.
Planning Your Vegan Food Tour
With so many excellent vegan restaurants Valencia has to offer, you could easily spend a week eating your way through the city.
But if you want an experience outside of a traditional restaurant, there are also lots of food tours to try.
And most of the time, if you tell them you’re vegan before-hand — they’ll make accommodations!
Bon profit!
Good luck and enjoy your food adventures in Valencia! If you have any other questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out.
