La Isla del Tesoro
La Isla del Tesoro is loaded with quirky charm – the dining area is like someone’s fantasy of a secret garden come to life. The cooking here is assured and wide-ranging in its influences; the jungle burger is typical in a menu that’s full of surprises. The weekday, lunchtime menú del día (€10) is more varied than most in Madrid. Our only complaint? The otherwise friendly waiters are often too keen to free up your table for the next punters on weekends.

Al Natural
Tucked away behind the Spanish parliament, Al Natural has an intimate ambience and terrific vegetarian food. There are the usual suspects such as salads and pastas, but some welcome creative touches, including grilled provolone cheeses, make this a terrific choice.

Restaurante Integral Artemisa
With a couple of options for meat-eaters, this mostly vegetarian restaurant does a brisk trade with its salads, moussaka and rice dishes. The décor is simple and the service no-nonsense.

Restaurante Vega Viana
Chueca is surprisingly lacking in vegetarian restaurants and even this one does a small sideline in chicken dishes (albeit of the free-range variety); not surprisingly, vegans need not apply. Dishes like zucchini burritos with Manchego cheese and carrot croquettes with sultanas and yoghurt cream should nonetheless keep most vegetarians happy. It has an English-language menu. Smoking is not permitted.

El Estragón
A delightful spot for crêpes and other vegetarian specialities, El Estragón is undoubtedly one of Madrid’s best vegetarian restaurants, although attentive vegans won’t appreciate the use of butter. Apart from that, we’re yet to hear a bad word about it, and the menu del día (daily set menu; from €8) is one of Madrid’s best bargains.

Viva la Vida
This organic food shop has as its centrepiece an enticing vegetarian buffet with hot and cold food that’s always filled with flavour. On the cusp of Plaza de la Paja, and with a laid-back vibe, it’s a great place at any time of the day, especially outside normal Spanish eating hours when your stomach’s rumbling.

Ecocentro
Ecocentro is a vegetarian’s paradise. Depending on which door you enter, there’s an extensive organic food shop, a cheap cafeteria-style eatery or a basement restaurant that serves wonderful veggie food. The menú del día changes daily and has plenty of choice.

Yerbabuena
Cheerful bright colours, a full range of vegetarian staples (vegetable sausages, soy-bean hamburgers, biological rice and homemade yoghurt) and plenty of creatively conceived salads add up to one of central Madrid’s best restaurants for vegetarians.

La Biotika
The macrobiotic, café-style La Biotika, out the back of a health-food shop, takes its vegetarianism seriously with an emphasis on simplicity and healthy eating with not too many creative twists: seitan (wheat meat), tofu-based dishes and generous salads. If you’re a vegetarian, you’ll love it. If you’re not, you might want to go elsewhere as the variety is limited.
