Sweet Paradise — Restaurant in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

The food was quite good, though limited. Too many vegan restaurants focus on burgers, and I would like to see more creative cooking done with vegetables. I have had the pleasure of experiencing such cooking, which is why I can’t rave about the food with 5 stars. They were very accommodating, though. I don’t eat bread, and they served me one of the burgers not on the bun, and added some avocado to the side instead. I had the mushroom tofu burger and it was tasty. My spouse had the beet burger and enjoyed. We had hot drinks that were fine. We shared a “cheesecake” dessert, which was tasty (though the coconut - I could taste that they used coconut - “cheese” layer was too sweet), with a nice passionfruit layer on top. The service was slow (probably food prep time), but pleasant. The atmosphere was bright and clean. I’m adding an update, because we ate there a second time and were less satisfied. I wanted the same mushroom tofu burger, but they were out of it. So I chose the seitan kale burger, again without a bun. As the previous time, service was slow, but the burger was clearly not freshly prepared. It was warm, but not hot. It did not have much flavor. I appreciated that they accommodated me, again - no bun, an addition of some avocado slices. I also ordered the hot chocolate, which used plant-based “milk” and cocoa, and no sugar beyond that, which is why I ordered it. It was not hot enough. My spouse had the club sandwich - OK, not amazing, and an americano, which he said...

I stopped by for a slice of cake. I’m usually not a fan of vegetarian desserts, but this one was… not bad. Nutty, soft, with a creamy layer — though I honestly couldn’t tell what the cream was made of.

That’s the tricky part with veggie desserts — you never quite know what’s in them, and whether it’s all-natural or just a mix of stabilizers and emulsifiers.

It actually felt cozier sitting outside than inside. The interior didn’t really feel warm or inviting — maybe it was the lighting, maybe something else.

But I did love the vintage floral plates.

Mixed feelings overall. Not bad, not quite my...

Hoy decidí ir a tomar un postre a este lugar despues de una cena, y a la hora de pagar, exigen un pago mínimo con tarjeta de 5€ , donde no lo especifican por ningún lado de manera clara y visible , y en el caso que fuera así, la chica ni se molestó en enseñarmelo, ya que me respondió de manera tajante que "aquí funciona así". Me hisieron un recargo extra para alcanzar los 5€ para poder pagar con tarjeta ya que no llevaba efectivo. Cobrar recargo por pagar con tarjeta es ilegal desde 2014.. con esa actitud de arrogancia lo unico que vais a conseguir es perder fidelidad.. Cambiate de banco y deja de quedar mal con los clientes VIP

En respuesta a su comentario, De manera indirecta me impones a consumir más para poderte pagar tus 5€ viá tarjeta, por eso no me quedó otra opción que pedirte la botella de agua de manera impositiva, no porque haya querido yo, entonces no me diga que los costes de transaccion la asume usted cuando tengo que pagar un minimo, asumiendo un cargo extra no deseado, aunque haya sido una miseria de 1,50€

Por otro lado, el que voy a pagar soy yo, no mi acompañante, aunque se haya ofrecido de manera voluntaria, yo decido la forma de pago en ese momento y aunque haya estado con "prisa" ni si quiera me enseñastes el supuesto cártel del pago mínimo de 5€ para poder corroborar lo que me dices, de hecho, le pregunté a mi acompañante, y tampoco recuerda haberlo visto

El 90% de los establicimiento tienen pago con datofono disponible, y , sin un minimo de consumo, algo que se aplica como regla general , asi que como comprenderá, se me hace extraño preguntar si tiene disponibilidad de...
