Ambience: typical for a vegan divey sort of bar. Really busy/popular, hard to get seats. Had a somewhat college-aged clientele feel to it when I was there.
Service: Quick, bilingual, got my food very quickly.
Food: really, really disappointing. I probably picked the wrong items, but the onion rings were worse than what I could make with grocery store brand. The B13 burger had decent sauce, but the burger tasted rubbery and really wasn't very appetizing at all.
The service is worth enough for me to want to give it another shot and try the tapas if I lived in Madrid (especially if I was still in college), but if you're looking for a good vegan burger there are other, better options available.

This place is popular, and for good reason. We only tried a few things, just popped in for a snack, but the croquetas and patatas bravas were worth getting. The staff were friendly, even when I missed the sign in English saying cash only, and drew me a little map to the nearest ATM. Pay attention to the hours, go early, and enjoy.

Ordering local cuisine abroad when you don't eat meat or seafood can be limiting, or at the very least intimidating when you're not 100% sure that what you just ordered at an omnivore restaurant is fully vegetarian and you feel like a touristy dweeb trying to double-check in American English. That being the case, I was pleased to find B13, a vegan tapas bar in a tight space on a narrow street off the center of town. The vibe was relaxed and hip without any uncomfortable pretension (at least I didn't sense any awkwardness and we even had a 5 year old with us). It wasn't fancy (which I like) and it had what we wanted (which was a couple of iconic tapas dishes made vegan). Basically, whatever you call it, it's still deep-fried bar food, but it is what it is and I appreciate that.

Best vegan place I've ever went to. Their meals and service are amazing and everything is delicious. I want to go back to Madrid just to eat there

This casual dining place is tucked away in a hole in the wall in a not so busy street in Madrid. Ordering was different than most other places because you just had to go up to the bar and order your food directly, different from sitting and having someone take your order. I liked this casual concept. The food was incredible. I had the "chicken" with garlic and mushrooms and the "hot dog." The chicken was seasoned so well and not too chewy, like most imitation chicken I have had. The hot dog was delicious as well, and topped with relish and fried onions. Don't miss this restaurant!

This was the first meal in Madrid and OMG- it was so good. Like many restaurants in Spain, B13 closes for a couple of hours during the early afternoon. Dinner begins at 8:30; we got there at 8:40 and the place was already packed! Thankfully, a couple shared their table with us, so we were able to take a seat pretty quickly. I ordered the durum kebab, the bestie ordered a chicken burger and we shared an order of the patatas bravas with a side of aioli. The kebab was great, juicy and light. Great kick off the the Madrid portion of our adventure.

This place is definitely popular. 3 stars as B13 wasn't on par with what I expected. More of a 'imitation meat' concept than vegan. Most items on menu are aimed to taste like beef, chicken or sausage. If you crave (or enjoy) meat and at the same time want to indulge in veggie (or soy based) products ---this place is for you!

This place is great! Vegan/vegetarian bar-type food. It gets busy at lunch time so come early! I ordered the calamari appetizer and chorizo sandwich. It was delicious! My only complaint is that the sandwich was a bit dry for my liking. I had also asked if the side of peppers were Padron peppers, told they were, and they weren't. Still pretty delicious though :)

They are cooking up some serious vegan food here. Price point is perfect, and there's tons of options on the menu. Portions are huge to prepare to take some home with you! This place is perfect for non vegans too! Looked like a lot of locals go here and was the least touristy place we had eaten at so far on our trip. Service was great and the atmosphere is good too. Pretty small place. Once we ordered the line was out the door so you might have to wait a bit but it's worth it!!

B13 is easy to find and really yummy. We had the daily meal and it was very good. Also got some strawberry milkshakes, which were delicious. Very crowded when we went, and had to wait in line.
Found the ordering system a little confusing and wish there was more space, but overall a good experience. Huge portions. Good price.

The wife and I went here for dinner one evening during our visit to Spain. During our trip, I had 3 vegan burgers. And this place was my fave! This place has menus in english too which was most helpful! The wife had the House vegan burger and I had the Double vegan burger. Both came with an order of fries and I got a local Spanish beer. The wife liked her burger a lot and I thought the Double was awesome! The fries were also excellent. All in all, we enjoyed our meal and we highly recommend this place!

The decor leaves a lot to be desired but the place is clean if on the shabby side. The prices are more than reasonable. The portions enormous and super fresh. Menu small but deliciously executed, simple food for simple patrons (yes they are). Staff very friendly and accommodating. Overall highly recommendable, I do tend to go back whenever I get a chance. I am a vegan and this place is a safe haven.
The only hiccup is when you go at a typical (for Spaniards) meal time, say 9pm, the waiting is going to kill the buzz a bit, as there's one or two cooks who handle the place. Many a time did I want to jump over the counter and help at the till, just to get the orders moving.

Amazing vegetarian food in central madrid, (not only vegetarian but vegan at that). Great tapas menu. I had a Bocadillo with vegan chorizo that was great. Staff is very friendly. Thought I would feel uncomfortable eating on my own but ate at the bar staff made me feel very welcome. The price can't be beat.
It is a small place so be warned you may need to wait. Have recommended it to other vegetarians in madrid and have gotten rave reviews from them too.

Fantastic seitan cutlet -- they make their own and it's thick, tender and juicy with crispy breading and not greasy at all. Even took one "to go" back to the hotel and ate it the next day and still very good at room temperature. Desserts we tried were "cream" pies that were also delicious. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Small place, gets very busy for afternoon lunch. We spent only 3 days in Madrid and liked it so much we went back twice.

Vegan junk food at it's best! Good cheap eats that will fill you on a minimum amount of Euros. 3 of us ate like kings for €17. The winner was the garlic potatoes. Wish one of us had tried the hot dogs, but we were only 3 and each had our own main in addition to 3 starters.
Not the place if you're looking for something clean. Perfect if you've been drinking. Oh yeah, and good punk rock playing in the background.

Fuimos a probar y genial, una experiencia vegana única, la comida muy sabrosa y un atendimiento espectacular. Repetiremos seguro. Recomendaciones: salchipapas, calamares y hamburguesas aunque también probamos en otra ocasión croquetas, papas bravas y falafel y está igualmente bueno. Bebida hay que probar la cerveza artesana bailandera.

Sin duda uno de los mejores bares/restaurantes veganos del centro de Madrid. Buen precio para dónde está ubicado (cerca de gran vía) y la comida 10/10. Mis platos favoritos son los bocatas, sobre todo el de bacon (el de la foto) y el de chorizo -además todos vienen con una ración de patatas-, y la tortilla de patata (me sorprendió la gran cantidad de tortilla de patata que te ponen). He comido allí muchas veces y también lo he recogido para comer en casa muchas. Todo perfecto.

Increíble. Todo vegano y riquísimo! Pedimos bocatas, uno de tortilla, uno de calamares y otro de seitán y estaban todos buenísimos, además que son bastante grandes y llenan. Recomendadísimo, 10/10
Pd: fuimos un sábado noche y apenas tuvimos que esperar unos 10 minutos, se llena pronto y se forma cola rápido también, pero vale la pena.

La mejor comida vegana en el centro de Madrid. El ambiente del local es genial y los camareros majísimos. La comida es 100% vegana y a muy buen precio. Está a nada del centro. Muy recomendable.
