Avocado Love — Restaurant in Madrid

Avocado Love is a very special restaurant. It's a small space and beautifully decorated. Because it is small, they only allow 1.5 hours to eat. There were five of us and we all decided to share a bunch of things. I highly recommend doing this! However, one complaint we had was they didn't bring dishes fast enough, so we were asked to give up our table for the next reservation before we were finished eating. That was a bit of a bummer. They were, however, very kind and allowed us to sip our wine at a little standing bar that they had. They also offered us a free dessert. :)

We tried 6 very delicious dishes. We would have also liked to try the Jack-Daniels grilled avocado, but that can be for next time. ;)

HUMMUS DE AGUACATE Y BERENJENA EN TEMPURA AL AGAVE (avocado hummus with aubergine in agave tempura) - This was completely delicious. The combo of creamy hummus, crunchy aubergine and sweet agave made my mouth go wooooooooow.

ENSALADA DE QUINOA Y AGUACATE (quinoa salad and avocado) - idk what they did to this but the sauce they used for the avocado salad was so flavourful and delicious. They also had some crispy sweet potato things on the top that added a bomb texture.

BOCADOS DECAUSA LIMEÑA CON AGUACATE (casa Limeña bites with avocado) - These were also so good!! So many flavours and textures in one bite! yes yes yes! The dish came with drops of something purple which turned out to be pureed olives - delicious!

FIDEOS THAI EN DOS TEXTURAS (thai noodles of two textures) - omg this one was so much fun. You're supposed to mix everything up and in doing so, the sauce changes the texture of the noodles. This dish was full of interesting tastes and textures as well. It had some unique thai flavours too.

CEVICHE DE SETAS Y AGUACATE (ceviche mushroom and avocado mix) - I was really curious how this would be. Like ceviche, you mix the ingredients up so the lime can "cook" the fish (or in this case mushrooms). It sort of worked actually. I can't say that it's the same as ceviche and I don't think you should expect that, but the flavours went very nicely together and it was a good meal. Our friend who hates mushrooms enjoyed this one.

PIMIENTOS DE PIQUILLO RELLENOS DE UCHUCUCHA DE AGUACATE (piquillo peppers stuffed with avocado) - Our last dish of the night. The pepper taste really came through and was strong and delicious. It was warm and yummy.

The dessert they gave us was also very nice and light. And the wine that we ordered was delicious.

We would definitely come back to enjoy several dishes and try new ones too! Make sure to make a...

Such creativity ! The vegan civiche tasted very much like the real thing (from my non-vegan days). The lasagna was so creative and flavorful; it was fantastic! The cheesecake had such a great texture and consistency. Everything was delicious !

I also appreciated the patience of the staff. We're from USA , so we didn't realize making reservations is preferred. The staff informed us that we could sit, but just that they had a reservation at a certain time, that way we were aware of staying on track. I still appreciated being able to be seen! Also, I appreciated that they helped me practice my Spanish; I didn't want them yo HAVE to speak in English to me, but there were times they had to :) they spoke Spanish slowly and let me try to converse in their own language, patiently. Their food, staff, and atmosphere were all fantastic. Can't...

Have been wanting to come here for so long. Glad we came and will be back. Their menu del día is an amazing and tasty option. We had the guacamole with totopos, the chips were house made but the guacamole needed a bit of salt, easy fix. The hummus with fried eggplant was inventive and delicious. One of us had the curry with Huera (soy meat sub). The flavors were Devine, the only knock was that it needed more liquid, perhaps we are used to a brothy curry. The alcachofas were deep fried but had a great flavor thanks to the piquillo pepper sauce. Dessert was a vegan brownie with avocado ice cream. Everything was super well presented. The service was great. Such a value for the money. Madrid has been slow to get on the vegetarian/vegan train, but Avocado Love...
