Fuerteventura Vegan Food Guide 2025

[post originally published in 2020]

Before we get into details about the Fuerteventura vegan scene, let’s go through the journey to get there. Airports are not the most vegan-friendly places that exist, but this is changing slowly, too.

After a smooth check-in, I got an oat cappuccino to-go in my bamboo cup, from Uppercrust near the departure gates. The onward flight from Helsinki (HEL) to Gran Canaria (LPA) was about 7 hrs, so we decided to order an in-flight dinner.

This VGML meal was pre-ordered when I booked the tickets with Norwegian Air. Veggie Couscous – warm and well flavoured but not too filling and no bread or anything on the side for 11 EUR.. Can’t expect much on a budget airline. The reusable fork was mine, just a small tip to avoid plastic.

Due to delays (first lockdown in Spain) on our first return trip, we ended up staying in the airports for over 10 hours in total, surviving off snacks: Clif bars, nuts and chips. Gran Canaria airport had a place near the departure gates with vegan options on the menu – we were starving by then, so the fresh peas salad, orange juice and potato wedges tasted amazing.

We have travelled to the Canary Islands a couple of times now, and scouted out the best vegan food spots in Fuerteventura..

Below, I list 10+ restaurants with vegan options in Fuerteventura!

1. H2O Juice Bar – vegan

Calle la Milagrosa, 29, 35660 Corralejo, Las Palmas, Spain

Quick stop for a brunch in a central square of Corralejo – you will find this small family run café. Good place, good people and good vibes. We ordered coffee, smoothie bowls, hummus toast and sandwich of the day. They accept only cash, but we found this to be common in many places on the island.

2. Happy Cactus – vegan and bio

Av. los Lagos, 42, Local 3, 35650 El Cotillo, Las Palmas, Spain

On our trip to the El Cotillo, we dropped by this small bio shop and café for a bite. The oat milk latte was superb and then a delicious freshly made pumpkin pie – made my day. They have wraps and burgers, plus a variety of desserts on the menu. Happy Cactus also serves vegan brunches. Would recommend this place for a healthy, tasty meal!

#Delicias y Namaste (closed)

Found this colourful restaurant serving organic vegan food in the capital of Puerto del Rosario, a 15 minute drive from the airport.

We arrived as they were just opening and ordered a tropical mango papaya smoothie, Mango and avo tartare, and ‘fish and chips’ plate, which included a portion of nachos, hummus and salad. I ate dessert first as I was hungry while waiting and ordered their delicious almond choco tart. Leaving it here for the memories..

#Past & Future (closed)

We dined at this fully plant-based restaurant a couple of times while staying in Corralejo. The cuisine is varied – Indian, Italian and Canarian dishes. It is run by two friendly women, who speak to you in Spanish : D We went in for the all-you-can-eat buffet. One evening I had the tiramisu, which was apparently the best in Fuerteventura. The atmosphere is perfect for a wine and dine.

Update Oct 2020: We are very sad to hear another good restaurant had to close.

3. La Sombra – vegan options

La Sombra, 35637 Betancuria, Las Palmas, Spain

This place is pretty much an oasis in the scenic little historic town of Betancuria, that’s the best way to describe it. It’s an open restaurant serving beyond burgers surrounded by lush vegetation.

The staff had an idea what was vegan so told us that there were two vegan burgers on the menu – the Beyond and a falafel burger, and that they didn’t have vegan cheese (at the moment?). So we ordered one of each, without cheese. Would definitely recommend this place for the atmosphere and location.

4. Las tapas de Miguel – vegan options

Calle Piragua, 5, 35625 Morro Jable, Las Palmas, Spain

On a beach day in Morro Jable, in the southern part of the island, we walked through a small area crowded with different restaurants in search of any vegan options for lunch. We finally settled here as they had a ‘vegetariano’ section on the menu and the staff, some friendly Italians, told us that they could make any pizza.

We ordered a Marinara and a cheese-less Veggie pizza. Both were very good, I especially liked the Marinara with extra garlic and a well-done crust.

5. Punta Elena Beach – vegan options

Av. Corralejo Grandes Playas, 83, 35660 Corralejo, Spain

The apartment we stayed at, in Corralejo, has a restaurant serving continental food. Unfortunately, most of it involves dragging poor little sea creatures out of the ocean. We got a fresh and tasty fruit and nut salad along with Canarian Potatoes on the side – basically spiced boiled new potatoes, served with a paprika dip sauce. The staff seemed to know what the word ‘vegan’ meant, which was nice.

They also have a veggie burrito (made vegan without cheese). I don’t have photos as we ordered some drinks and quickly finished the food to move to the seaside pool bar. This restaurant and bar are also open to the public.

Fuerteventura is a beautiful island with plenty to explore. Head over to this Fuerteventura Travel Guide for a detailed blog about things to do on the island, by fellow vegan travel bloggers @Northabroad

6. Baobab – vegan

c. José Segura Torres, 14, 35660 Corralejo, Fuerteventura.

Yay! We finally checked out this vegan spot on our recent trip to Fuerteventura, when we stayed in Corralejo again for a few days. They were open this time, and we made it there just in time for lunch. This is another lovely little family run spot:

We had outdoor seating in the sun and enjoyed their day’s special along with Vietnamese Roll and beverages. Their beverage menu is heavenly – loved the Matcha (Samurai) and Black spiced tea (Chai). Wish I could try all the rest!

The day’s special plate was a fancy rice topped with vegetable paste and other good stuff. It’s best described as a ‘vertical poke’ with broccoli, peas, wakame and marinated vegan salmon. This was our favourite dish of the trip! I also tried the summer rice rolls (Vietnamese with vegan shrimp) – a huge roll with chunks of ‘shrimp’ and mango sweet chili sauce – did not disappoint! Prices were not exactly budget, but for this sort of flavourful, healthy colourful food – I’m willing to pay!

Baobab is located a bit away from the main touristy restaurants, and we highly recommend dining here. They also send across an ethical message: whoever saves one life saves the whole world.
