*from our pre-corona travels* Punto Vegano is in a great location, right next to the Templo de Debod - an ancient Egyptian monument that was taken down and rebuilt in Madrid - beaut at sunset! At Punto vegano, we had tapas - a super authentic Spanish food. For the tapas we had ravioli. When you say ravioli I think pasta, so I was surprised that these ravioli were made from pastry. They were delicious though so I wasn't complaining. We also had quesadillas, croquettes and patatas bravas. Three super authentic Spanish foods and all really yummy. I particularly liked the croquettes, they were in four different flavours and it was fun working out which was which. Here are some things that we are defo gonna write to (+poke) them about: do they have any organic plant-based meals? We think there would be a market niche for that... like basically anywhere. The legal differentiation of "non-organic" and "organic" produce is basically an euphemism for "poisonous" and "a bit less poisonous"... which is an outrage! All fruit & veg (+any plant-based food) should be organic, everywhere, not just the privilege of wealthy citizens who can afford to buy the more expensive stuff. Also: were the agricultural workers that produced the plants paid well, in a fair trade fashion (and are they employed as wage labourers)? Is the restaurant a democratic workplace (a worker coop)?
