Asociación Cultural Gastronómica Vegana La Mandrágora

Even though, I am not a vegan this was one of the best meals I have ever eaten. The menu had 5 courses and the first 3 were so good I didnt have time to snap a picture before it was all gone. We couldn’t choose what food will we order because there is one menu for everyone, but all the food was so good that nobody protested. At the end everybody left from 10-20€ for themselves as the bill. I loved it! If you have time in Valencia this is a must.

My favorite vegetarian place in Valencia. The sustainable concept, fresh ingredients and tasty dishes provide a healthy choice for everyone. The atmosphere is friendly and inspiring, very good place to meet with friends and spend quality time together.

This is not just a restaurant, it is a whole experience. There is no menu to choose from, there is just a daily menu. When we went, it had caponata, bean soup, paella and chocolate cream. They do not charge for water. They also do not charge for the food, there is no fixed price, you make a donation at the end, whatever you feel.

It’s complicated. The food is great. It’s pay what you feel it’s worth (suggested €15 menu dia). Strangely you have to (pretend) to join their organization online before they’ll feed you.

But it’s hard to feel truly welcome when they display anti-tourist signs…and you are a tourist. This is definitely run by a new generation of activists and their agenda is … complicated. Regardless we would return for the delicious vegan cuisine.

Amazing place and nice people. The food was good and the atmosphere chill.

Really tasty vegan food inside with great atmosphere. I like the fact that you can try different new good food every time. You should book a place in advance. I strongly recommend it!

Absolutely phenomenal. First time going, and will definitely be going back. The food was delicious. Service warm and kind. And the concept of how everything is presented, sharing plates and having such variety.

This place has no menu and no fixed prices but the food is super tasty and it was a great experience :) I loved that all the food is vegan and the people there are very friendly. If I visit Valencia again I will definitely stop by ❤

This place is a vegan's dream. It's a set menu of 3-4 courses. Usually a hummus with bread, a cold salad or soup followed by the main warm dish and dessert. Help yourself to the cutlery, water cups and napkins. There is a bar to order beer or wine for an additional cost. When the meal is over, instead of bringing a bill, they bring a box for a donation. So pay what you want.

This is the most wonderful, unique and delicious tasting vegan food cafe in valencia. They have a unique concept where you decide the price for the menu!
Trust me do not pay them less and disrespect the concept because the quality of food is as good as the one you find at a restaurant charging you 10-15 euros pp.
Can you believe the dishes are presentable too?
Respect the concept, enjoy the vibe and have amazing time here!
You visiting Valencia then a visit must be paid here too!❤

Legit best spot in Valencia.
Must-go.
This is a one-of-a-kind vegan restaurant. You can’t chose from the menu as there is a single set of dishes served.
The menu changes everyday so the ingredient are fresh.
You will be served: a soup, a starter, a main and a desert.
I have never been disappointed by the taste or quality of the plates.
The quantity is perfect.
Water and tea are at your disposal.
You can also have beers and ecological wine.
At the end of the meal, you get to pay in cash what you feel like paying.
This place is a wonderful place to meet people from every sides, origines and classes. You will always feel home after coming back.
It is always a pleasure to discover and enjoy today’s new dishes.

This place is amazing. I loved it. Not everyone feels the same way but if you are open minded and willing to learn about locals from a local’s perspective, you might enjoy it. There is a sign that says “tourists go home you are not welcome” but I believe it’s not an attack on individuals but more of a statement on the negative effects of commercial tourism. As we don’t really consider ourselves tourists but more explorers with an idea to try and leave each place a little better than we found it, this sign doesn’t offend us.
That being said, the meal was exquisite. The chefs are absolutely talented and despite the humble appearance of the premises, the food is outrageously good. Surprisingly well balanced and creative with well thought-out pairings that leave you wanting more.
The concept is not only vegan but a harmonious type of living that harms nothing and benefits everyone.
In the end, you pay what you think the meal is worth but I must admit, I enjoyed it more than the majority of the fine dining places I’ve been to.

Quite a charming little restaurant in which you pay what you think it’s fair. They serve you a menu of three courses that change everyday, but are basically simple but delicious vegan dishes (soups, gazpacho, rices, salads) plus dessert. Don’t expect gourmet dishes as it’s more traditional stuff which is pretty decent. The food is really home made and the portions are generous. The staff is also very friendly, they ask you to join their association (an online form) in order to be part of the cause so you don’t pay, rather than that you make a donation. Interesting concept and will come back for sure.

We went for lunch following a friend’s recommendation - it was absolutely delicious!! Super friendly staff, and what a great concept. Will definitely be back ! Thank you!

One of the best places in Valencia.
I stumbled upon it by accident, and this was the best accident so far.

First, it's vegan, which is hard to come by around Valencia downtown.

Second, the concept is very interesting - they don't have a set menu with prices; instead, they'll bring you what they have today, and you'll pay whatever you believe it's worth.

And finally, the food is actually good. First they brought hummus, then some Indian specialty, spicy and salty and absolutely delicious, and they finished with poppy, honey-soaked cake. I gulped down every last bit even though by the time of the cake I definitely was full. So good!

I cannot recommend this place high enough.

Highly recommend! The food was delicious and wholesome, and the service was super friendly. The atmosphere in there was very unique and felt quite convivial somehow even though I was alone. Really good experience as well as food!

I like the concept. I think ever city should have a place like this. The menu was simple but tasty. It begins from the appetizer to dessert. you pay what you think is worth and what you can afford as person. I found myself going there at lunch and at dinners.Go guys and go vegans!

Amazing place! Great idea as well, very liberal so anyone is welcome and you can pay what you want! Obviously we have generously because the food was so tasty. Would definitely go again. Would recommend to anyone, especially to any fellow vegans 💚💚

I have been there several times, and the food is always very very good. I love the vibe. It can become a bit noisy, so for very sensitive people it can be an overwhelming place.

Vegan place thats not a typical restaurant. Very well spiced food (mind you, not spicy) that's sure to get your tummy full. Definitely recommended experience for vegans and non vegans alike.
