The best vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Marbella
More and more people are opting for a different and alternative diet. Some do not include any food of animal origin, but others do. This is the origin of different life philosophies such as vegan, vegetarian, lacto-vegetarian, flexitarian, and a multitude of different ways of nutrition. That’s why finding more restaurant options that suit your needs is sometimes not an easy task. However, some localities in Malaga have echoed this and that is why more and more vegan or vegetarian restaurants are appearing in Marbella.
The list of places to find vegan food in Marbella is growing and some chefs are adapting their culinary trends and want to include these ways of eating on their menus and offer dishes for all tastes and philosophies of life. Marbella is a city that has been able to include vegetarian and vegan food in its gastronomy, either because there is a large public that demands it or because of the relationship of respect towards animals by not including them in their diet.
Whatever the reason, people who are committed to these forms of food have less difficulty finding vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Marbella, as this Malaga paradise is an attraction among other things, to follow these culinary trends.
To make your search for vegan and vegetarian restaurants less complicated, here is a list of restaurants you can find in Marbella.

Hints and Tips
Know your style—and check theirs
There’s a clear difference between vegetarian and vegan diets—well understood by those who follow them, but not always clearly reflected on restaurant menus. Before heading out, it’s a good idea to confirm whether a venue’s offerings align with your dietary needs. A quick call or a glance at their website can save time and avoid last-minute changes.
Be mindful of mixed menus
Many restaurants in Marbella that promote themselves as vegetarian- or vegan-friendly also serve traditional dishes that include meat, fish, or dairy. This is great if you’re dining with a mixed group, but if you prefer a 100% plant-based environment, it’s worth checking the full menu in advance.
Book ahead—especially in high season
Vegetarian and vegan dining has become increasingly popular in Marbella. With demand on the rise—particularly in summer and on weekends—it’s wise to reserve a table in advance, especially at well-known or smaller establishments.
Embrace Mediterranean flavours
The Mediterranean diet is full of fresh vegetables, pulses, grains, olive oil, and herbs—perfect for vegetarian and vegan adaptations. Don’t hesitate to ask for simple substitutions, like grilled vegetables instead of seafood or olive oil in place of butter. Most chefs are more than happy to accommodate.
Timing matters
Mealtimes in Spain typically run later than in other parts of Europe. Lunch usually starts around 1:00 p.m. and continues into the afternoon, while dinner is rarely served before 8:00 p.m. Plan ahead if you’re hoping to eat earlier or find lighter options between standard hours.
A little Spanish goes a long way
Learning a few key phrases can be very helpful. Try:
- “¿Tiene opciones veganas o vegetarianas?” (Do you have vegan or vegetarian options?)
- “Soy vegano/vegetariano.” (I am vegan/vegetarian.)
Most hospitality staff in Marbella are welcoming and will do their best to meet your needs.
Think beyond the restaurant table
Marbella offers a variety of organic markets, smoothie bars, wellness cafés, and health-focused shops. These are perfect for picking up a quick bite, stocking up on picnic treats, or refueling during a day at the beach or a stroll through town.
Don’t skip dessert
Plant-based treats are on the rise in Marbella. From raw chocolate tarts to dairy-free coconut flans and artisanal vegan gelato, there’s no need to miss out on something sweet. Many cafés and eco-conscious bakeries now offer delicious options without animal products or refined sugars.
Explore beyond the city centre
While Marbella’s Old Town and beachfront are great for vegetarian and vegan options, nearby areas like San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús, and Nueva Andalucía also boast excellent plant-based dining. Don’t hesitate to explore—you may stumble upon a hidden gem.
Tap into the community
Online platforms like HappyCow, TripAdvisor, or Google Reviews can be great resources for discovering vegetarian- and vegan-friendly places. Fellow diners often share honest reviews, hidden menu items, and useful tips about the best dishes or most accommodating venues.
Stay open-minded
Even restaurants that don’t label themselves as vegetarian or vegan can have wonderful plant-based offerings. Keep an open mind—you might find your new favourite dish in an unexpected place.
