MORE INFO ABOUT THIS VIDEO 😃
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Soooo many people have asked for this video. And to be honest, I have been a little nervous about making it. Why? Well, because I do eat meat and seafood. Less and less, it’s true. But it meant I didn’t feel like I would know what to tell people.
But once I started exploring and researching, I realised there were so many delicious vegetarian tapas in the places I go to every day! In fact, so many Spanish tapas bars have great vegetarian options.
So, if you want to know where we went, and what we ordered - here it all is!
1. Casa Toni
- Champiñones la plancha - Grilled mushrooms
- Patatas bravas = Spicy potatoes
- Pimientos de Padrón = Padron peppers
- Berenjenas = Battered eggplant with cane sugar
- Ensalada de tomate = Tomato salad
2. Sanlúcar
- Garbanzos con tomillo = Chickpeas with thyme
- Salmorejo (sin jamón) = Salmorejo (without ham) :)
- Verduras asadas = Roast vegetables
- Huevos rotos (sin jamón) = Broken eggs (without ham)
3. Pez Tortilla
Croquetas de boletus y trufa = Boletus mushroom and truffle croquetas
Croquetas de puerros confitados = Caramelised leek croquetas
Tortilla de patata = Spanish omelette
Tortilla de patata con berenjena y queso de cabra = Spanish omelette with eggplant and goats’ cheese
4. La Campana
- Bocadillo de pimientos = Fried pepper sandwich
5. El Cisne Azul
- Setas de la temporada con huevo = Seasonal wild mushrooms with egg
6. Vinoteca Vides
- Tabla de quesos = Cheese plate
Enjoy!

I'm not vegetarian but love me some great veggies. Thoroughly enjoyed the recommendations in this vid.
Your channel is just the best and makes me smile !
I'm happy to hear it!
YES THANK YOU I LOVED THIS BEFORE I STARTED WATCHING IT
Me too 😍
Me too!!!
@@adora9346 Make that 4!
Thank you VERY MUCH, guys! 🥗✊🏽🥗
Muy buenas recomendaciones, me encantan! Allow me to recommend one extra thing/place: Vega (Calle de la Luna 9).
This is a fairly centrally located entirely vegan restaurant/tapas bar and their food is honestly delicious. Costumer service is also very good and the staff treat you very well. Vegan it may be, but Spaniard approved, I give you my word!
Thank you for the recommendation - I'll check it out!
@@spainrevealed De nada! Just keep in mind it's quite a small place that can get full very quickly. Might have to reserve depending on the time of day. Only real downside that came to my mind.
All of these recommendations sound incredible. I can't imagine any omnivore being disappointed while tagging along on this vegetarian tapas crawl. I love that in Spain, vegetables and mushrooms aren't just an afterthought. All of the care that goes into growing, cooking, and presenting them really comes through.
The food was delicious!
It’s cold and wet here in England today and watching these wonderful videos just makes me want to return to Barcelona or go to Madrid for the first time and experience food “ like a local “ thank you both so much.....
Have only been back a month and I miss Madrid! So beautiful! I don't know how you guys stay slim. I gained 10 pounds in nine days (all off now) and I loved every pound. The food is amazing and so are your vlogs. 🇪🇸❤️
Yoli alioli loving her food !
What an AMAZING video. Thank you two for putting in so much effort for us veggies.
Thanks for this! I have vegetarian and vegan friends and family and I needed this information. Also, I love to eat lighter many times so this expands my options. Excellent videos, as always.
I’m pleased! I hope they enjoy it!!
Myself and my boyfriend bumped into you in a Lavapiés cafetería just the other week, thanks for stopping and chatting to us briefly! This new video almost feels like it was made for us - I'm a recently-turned veggie whilst my boyfriend is a jamón obsessive so these recommendations will save us a lot of precious (eating!!) time when deciding where next to try. Can't wait to get over to San Lúcar! Muchísimas gracias James y Yoli!
JAMES!!!! My boyfriend and I are from Canada and just moved to Seville! We have become your biggest fan 😍😍😍😍 your videos have been super helpful since arriving here. Keep up the great work!! WE LOVE YOU 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you! Glad the videos are helpful!!
James and Yoly! You two are beyond awesome. Every video I watch about vegetarian options points me to a place with mock meat or non-Spanish food. I am not looking for an all-vegetarian restaurant and I am NOT vegan. This video is a breath of fresh air for me (I am a vegetarian) and is EXACTLY what I am looking for. Thanks so much. I think I will have to choose between Pez Tortilla and Casa Toni given how little time I have in Madrid.
Thank you so so much for this video. Your suggestions seem incredible and now I just want to get out straight away and try them all 😍
I really appreciate the work you put on every single video you make. It's always such a pleasure to watch them!
Yoli saying "yum, yum, yum " at 10:55 is so cute 😂💖. You make a great couple and also a great team
Another fantastic video, James and Yoli! My partner and I returned to Vinoteca Vides twice in a recent trip to Madrid - we absolutely LOVED it. Thanks to Laura for her awesome service and for the memorable wines!
Love all your videos! They are helping me a lot for my move to Spain in less than a month! I especially loved this one as I am a vegetarian myself, so Thank you!!
Awesome - so pleased!
Thank you so much for this!! Been thinking that your videos often focus on meat, so this is great!
I have watched a lot of your videos and I want to say you and Oly have such great chemistry and quite obvious!! Oly - eres muy guapa!! You guys are inspiring thousands to come and visit Spain, Portugal and Europe in general. Great job. Keep it up!!!!
Thank you!!!
Thanks so much for this video! We used most of these recommendations on our trip to Madrid and ate really well as vegetarians. Your advice really made our trip. Thanks!
Thank you so much for catering to a variety of gastronomic tastes! Most youtube video travel food shows concentrate on meat, pork, chicken so it's great you are all inclusive. Gracias!
You've done it again! Bravo and brava.
☆☆☆
THank you!
Thank you for this!
Great video thank you. It shows that you can be on a non-animal diet without eating boring and tasteless food. My favourite vegetarian dish of all time is churros!
Loved bits of Spanish that you were teaching in the video. Thanks for the amazing video.
Great vid James !! Keep them coming
Thank you!
Love this...thank you so much 💗
Great job again, you two. Love your work. ✌
I love your show. Thanks James.
Thank you!
Thanks so much. This is so timely. I’ll be in Spain in two months and was worried about finding vegetarian foods. Now I know the veggie movement is spreading. You have put my mind (and stomach) at ease!
Awesome! Let us know how you get on!
Dear James & Yoli,
Thank you for all the videos but this one in particular is very helpful. I love your enthusiasm and love for Spain.
We have already started having really late dinners to get ready for our upcoming trip !
Really late dinners... like 8pm? 😬
I love this, you make fried egg and mushrooms sound like the most wonderful gourmet meal in the world!! Keep 'em coming!!!
haha it was realllllyyyy gooooddd!
Awesome video James!
This was great! But I would love to see the vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Madrid.
Thanks Dora! Yeah, that would be another video! Good idea!
So cool I found this one. Thx for doing vegi version.
My favorite channel ever I discovered you when I was in alicante 2 weeks ago and was looking for good food places, and now even when I'm back to my country I still watch you and plan to go back to spain to live there hopefully next year! 🙂🧡
Thank you!
Good to know where I can find delish tapas bars in Madrid 👍👍
Great video as usual!
Cheers Jimmy!
You guys are amazing. I know Madrid like the back of my hand and have never even tried these places. I am going to go to every single place you recommend.
I really liked this video! I'm a vegetarian. I have felt the change in restaurants from serving the tomato, and lettuce salad for vegetarians, to offering a wider range of options. And like James mentioned, I like finding vegetarian options in regular places. I really like many of the places you showed, my favorite, the last one, I love cheese and I love Spanish cheese: Smoked Iberic (mix of goat, sheep and cow milk). And When I come, I would love to visit. I would love to see a video on cheeses, if you think there's enough topic to cover it. PS: 17:08 That toast was absolutely loving.
Thank you so much for this video! I love your videos but I’m a vego so I’m so happy you’ve made a vegetarian food video! And I love that you didn’t go to vegetarian only places
This is exactly what I wanted!
Awesome! Soy vegana. I'll remember that. That was so helpful! I didn't think there would be so many options. Gracias!
looks fab. that cheese OMG.
Wine & cheese make the best dessert. Thanks for another great video!
muchas gracias por el video!!! Voy a estudiar en Córdoba el semestre proximo y soy vegetariana, asi pues este es muy ayudable para saber los tipos de tapas que puedo comer
ONE WORD FOR YOU ..... FANTASTICO 👍👍
Gracias!
Planning a trip soon, deff gonna vist some of these places!
Life goals
i'm not vegetarian but damn, all these dishes look amazing. thanks for this video - what a great resource!
Hi James. Just got back from my four week stint in Seville. Checked out many tapas bars. Thanks to you and google reviews didn't experience any duds. My highlights Eslava for the honey pork you recommended. Wow! Tried to return there but it was packed out. Also had great Paella at Pelayo bar de tapas. Bumped into two foreign couples who were also following the James Blick trail. You are certainly making your mark.
Glad you had a great time Doug! Happy you met other discerning eaters :)
So good
Ohhh i missed madrid so much :( Last month i visited second time madrid and barcelona, your videos so helpful thank you very much :)
Love it, great stuff. Almost tempted to buy a plane ticket to return to Madrid just to try all of the tapas I missed the first time.
You're welcome whenever!
I'm a vegetarian and Spanish cities have improved but eating out or at people's homes is still a minefield. Chickpeas and beans are often served in chicken stock as is vegetables soup and salads often have tuna or ham mixed in. As for eggs, I prefer to only eat eggs from small organic farms or homes and pretty certain most bars and restaurants use the cheapest, nastiest factory farmed products.
Sorry! I forgot to mention the incredibly charming Tapas bar staff and owners. They all seem to know and appreciate you guys.
Hola, I enjoyed your nice videos as always 😁Greetings from Budapest
I’m missing pimientos de padrón so much!
So much look delish. Would love to do a food tour after pandemic
Excelentes recomendaciones!
Habeis ido ya por el norte? Euskadi, Asturias.. para ponerse las botas! Y por no hablar del paisaje (lagos, prados y hasta los mismisismos picos de europa!).
Me he apenado por el caso de daltonismo y de pronto he recordado un video que vi aqui en youtube acerca de unas gafas especiales para daltonicos que permiten percibir mejor los colores (por supuesto no creo que curen, pero si que deben suponer una diferencia) gafas encroma (no se si se llaman asi o la compañia que las fabrican) creo que alguien mencionó en un comentario que se podian probar en una optica del corte inglés....
En fin, gracias pareja por difundir que españa es algo mas que un país de fiesta, borrachera y drogas. ;D
Extraño Bilbo! Tambien visite Bermeo y Lekitios 😌, El Vino, La Comida la Gente. Egun On!.
Love this videos Yoli and James ❤️. I was wondering if you are going to think about making a video of where to find the best Spanish Guitar performances? I can't wait to go back to España and one thing I cannot miss out on is experiencing the guitara. Yoli and James you are the best Spain guides!
Hello Rolando! It's not on the list, because, well, it's quite limited. Best bet is a flamenco venue (tablao)
Aw, too bad you didn’t post this just a couple weeks ago. I was in Madrid with my family and we are vegetarian, but not to worry, I actually had watched many of your videos to find out where to go to eat on our limited one day stop in Madrid, and i decided on Cava Baja. We went to Posada del Dragón because I wanted to see the historical wall you mentioned. It was great! We had the tomatoe plate, the bravas of course (I think I have tried all the different ways they make bravas in the different regions lol), a cheese plate, and something eggy. Ugh, as a vegetarian, I love eating in Spain! Many preps are simple, but because the quality of the ingredients is so high, it’s bliss in each bite. Mahalo for all your wonderful videos!
Glad you managed to eat well despite missing this video!
Ahhhh mate, they look great. Can't wait to try those places especially the mushroom place. I love mushrooms x
It's awesome!
I love your videos! I've been to Spain and the food, oh my goodness the food! I look forward to returning soon and have a question for you both. I'm gluten intolerant, any good tapa bars that can accommodate us gluten sensitive people? Thanks in advance!
Thanks :)
Omg flaco mil gracias !! Yo soy una súper amante 70/30 vegetariana - pescatariana pero quiero ir a los sitios normales y a veces sufro ! Me muero de la emoción -y estaba temiendo mi próxima visita a Madrid en la próximas semanas !!
Hola James y Yoli. Soy de Malasia y voy a viajar a España el proximo año. No como carne ni alcohol (pero mariscos, si), asi que este video es muy ùtil, muchìsimas gracias! ❤️ Me gustarìa que hagas mas vìdeos asi. I don't wanna miss out on the great food culture!
Yesssss finallyyy veggie here
Enjoy!
You guys make hungry at midnight 😂😂😂😂
Sorry about that!
Hey, I was looking for this, thanks! We will be moving to Spain for a while in a few months, starting off in Madrid, but we mostly eat vegetarian at home and we were a little scared of how that would work out in pork and fish heaven. But these dishes (and places) look great!
Thanks great video! “Saltiness of the salt”
I like it when Yolly says -"Mhmmmmm…. this is so incredible" when she bites into those tapas.
James, as per suggestion went to Casa Toni - did NOT disappoint! Thanks for the tip about half portion, tried a lot of dishes and fully recommend this place.
Has Pez Tortilla moved from C. de la Cava Baja? My wife and I are vegetarians, and these Tapas recommendations have eased our minds and excited our appetites. Thank you!!
Very nice
bravo.
Estaba pensando en ir a Madrid dentro de no mucho de vacaciones, y soy vegetariana. Gracias a ti tengo muchos sitios a los que puedo ir :)
Going to Spain in a few weeks with my vegetarian daughter, and your video makes me so excited for the food! You make ordering vegetarian effortless. I have a question-what time were you going around? We’d like to go then as well, for even less stress! Thank you for your wonderful video.
Yoli, James is just fine but you are amazing! More Yoli, por favor. I love your posts. Thanks
Blicky just watched you "NOW IM STARVING HUNGRY ".
your love for spain comes across with how well you've picked up the language
Superb! Bravo! Excellent. You do the best videos about Spanish tapas! So Spain is a haven for vegetarians and vegans! sin jamon? That's fine :-)
Thanks mate!
Amazing video!!!!!! Cannot wait to go to Madrid to try.....but how the heck did u fit all that food and drink!!😂
Thank you for showing that we can visit Spain and eat vegetarian at restaurants too. My husband and I follow the Blood Type diet and blood type A should only eat a very little chicken, egg, and more varieties of fish.
Another great video J & Y. I saw, Pez Tortilla at Cava Baja last year, but avoided because of the craft beers. To Millennial-Looking for my tastes. But I may give it a try next week. Also, Casa Toni is defiantly our "happy place" too. I'll be living there next week, jajajaj
Yeah, it's certainly popular with the younger crowd (because it's cheap)_. But the beer and tortilla are good
Case Toni will be my first (and maybe 2nd and 3rd) port of call on my next Madrid trip 😊
Hi James, thank you so much for this video. We're visiting Madrid for the first-time next week. I'm vegetarian (my wife is pescatarian) and previous Spanish trips have been less than exciting food wise so this gave me a thrill of excitement than I might be up for a more exciting trip this time as I love to eat (and drink).
I've purchased your guide and will read in advance but are there any other places that you would recommend for these types of dishes that I can add to our itinerary?
Thanks again.
Thanks for that James, a really useful video. I'm no stranger to trying to eat vegetarian in Madrid and have found a few good veggie places over the years, as you say it can be tricky when people think that ham is a vegetable :-) Some great tips in there. My partner Chris likes a good craft beer, so we will definitely try some of those places on our next visit. Me, I drink cider so the Asturian Sidrerias can be good for me and there is one I like near Opera that we visit whenever we are in Madrid. We spend more time in the south and I have already done some videos on Eating Vegetarian in the Southern Spain on my channel too. Loving the channel guys. Andy
Awesome Andy! I must check out your channel!
Spain Revealed - James Blick thanks James.
Wonderful! It would be nice if you made a video on international food in Spain, like North African, Middle Eastern, Asian and perhaps Latin American. Are there any Colombian eateries?
I've thought about that - it's on the list, though a little further down the line
I miss my spanish Tapas from Madrid, none in Denmark unfortunetly, just bacon or pork here
Interesting.. you would assume that Denmark would have many vegetarian options.
@@BalSagoth You dont get Tapas in Denmark
@@beltxabeltxa of course not, I thought you meant options for vegetarian food in general
I am spanish and Iived 2 years in Denmark. You have plenty tapas places in Denmark, and in just like in Spain, very many "tapas" includes no meat...Also, off course you troll, Denmark have magnificent fish.
@@mrn13 I live in Slagelse, I am also spanish but unfortunately I also see you are not willing to accept their are no tapas in Denmark
Ate at Casa Toni tonight. The big guy at 0:50 served my food. Patata Bravas, pork skewer with pimientos, and of course, olives.
Awesome - enjoy!!
Thank you guys. I am transition to pescarian.
Enjoy!
@@spainrevealed Love you guys, kisses to Yolanda desde Panamá.
Great video as always - what about a gluten free tapas crawl - is that possible in Madrid or Barcelona?
This was helpful and inspiring, thank you. I don't eat ham due to my health..and I don't like most seafood. So I am interested in chicken and turkey dishes. Could you do a video on that? Or just address, are those kinds of dishes available enough for you to live on in Spanish restaurants? Lol
That was My concern (no jamon or mariscos) lol Thanks for this!
Enjoy!!
I can also learn a bit of Spanish😍
Thanks so much for this video James!
What was the name of the Bocadillo you had? Was it Bocadillo di pimentos?
Bocadillo de pimientos. Bocadillo = sub, pimientos = peppers
Patatas bravas sauce is made from Cocido stew quite often. So ¡al loro!
Do you think there is a regional difference between the sauces of patatas bravas (for example to Barcelona)? Like your videos so much.
Hey James, love your videos, just wondering what sort of time you go to these bars, we go to Madrid on a semi regular basis and have been at different times of the day and they are always packed! You seem to almost have the place to yourselves!
Got when they open! Either midday or 7pm
@@spainrevealed thanks James, for that, hopefully we will get in next time!
