The history of
vegan restaurants in Tenerife is not just a response to food trends, but has been brewing for several decades. The large Indian community on the island, as well as the influence of visitors from well-known vegan references, such as Germany, Norway or Poland, have helped to
consolidate veganism and vegetarianism as an alternative that is fully present in the island's restaurants.
Many nutrition experts and researchers are claiming that vegan food is the future. Sustainability, respect for the environment and animal life, responsible consumption and a multitude of health benefits are some of the main reasons given by the defenders of this dietary protocol.
Our island has been able to adapt perfectly to the needs of this new paradigm, with spaces that exploit the best of local flavours with products that are not of animal origin.
The best vegan restaurants in Tenerife
From north to south, vegan restaurants in Tenerife are beginning to gain a large following and have become the focus of some of the best reviews on review sites such as Tripadvisor. Below, we will introduce you to three of the best cruelty-free gastronomic proposals so that you are encouraged to
enjoy the flavours of the island without any type of animal origin. Samelo Veg (Abbots)
A true classic among vegan restaurants in Tenerife. This restaurant, located in Abades, is probably
one of the most creative and tasty spaces when it comes to plant-based food. Its main premise is to work with seasonal products, based on vegetables proposed by local producers. They do not have a set menu, but rather prepare their dishes based on the ingredients that arrive at their kitchens every day. It is ideal for sharing moments of relaxation in a friendly environment or for going with the little ones in the house and enjoying a meal with the family.
K-Vegan (The Christians)
Your grandmother's meatballs, without any animal products. Sounds good, doesn't it? At K-Vegan we can find
exquisite home-inspired dishes , to delight you in the purest traditional style. This establishment is located in Los Cristianos, very close to the
Hotel GF Victoria***** GL , and offers delicious dishes such as rice dishes, wraps, vegetable meats based on legumes or even a vegan alternative to the iconic Spanish omelette.
The Bow Tie (Santa Cruz de Tenerife)
Freshness and flavour in the purest Instagram style.
Eating with your eyes has never been better defined than on the menu at La Pajarita, where Buddha bowls, natural juices and homemade pastries become a visual spectacle. Their salads, bowls and smoothies are well known among lovers of raw vegan food, and their excellent breakfasts are another of the great reasons why you should choose this vegan restaurant in Tenerife.
Exclusive Veganism at GF Victoria*****GL
With a gastronomic offer as extensive as that of the Hotel GF Victoria*****GL and a philosophy of absolute respect for the Environment, the vegan option is more than guaranteed for all our guests.

Chaboco Buffet Restaurant , as well as in the pool area (
Amaina Restaurant ) and in the
hotel's various bars , which offer a carefully selected range of completely natural detox juices. If you're planning a completely cruelty-free getaway, our hotel is definitely the place to be.
