Best Veggie Menú del Día

Lo de Ponxe En El Kinto Pino – El Carmen
Creative macrobiotic vegan cuisine. Recommended by Jeremy.

La Mandrágora – El Carmen
One of Valencia’s original veggie hubs — an asociación where members pay what they want for a set vegetarian menu.

Kukla – El Carmen
Middle Eastern café with hummus, salads, and stuffed pitas. Popular with multiple Pont de Valencia members — and my go-to for a sabich fix!

Upscale menú del día in a cozy café setting. A Jeremy favorite.

Copenhagen – Ruzafa
A pioneer of vegetarian dining in Valencia, with hard-to-find jackfruit tacos.

La Casa Viva – Ruzafa
Homey vegetarian spot specializing in pastas, recommended by Agnieszka.

Honest Greens – Ayuntamiento
Marcel loves this pick-and-mix style veggie chain where you can create your own fav combo of “plant-forward” food. Currently super trendy, so it may be hard to get a table.

Maduixes – Mestalla
Weekly and tasting vegetarian menus. Aline calls it “soooo sooo good”!

Mestiza – Cabanyal
Plant-based Mediterranean food in an arty beachside space. Recommended by Jeremy.

The menu is not vegetarian, but Michelin-starred chef Begoña Rodrigo built her reputation on exquisite vegetable dishes.
