Very close friends of mine got engaged during one of the beautiful sunsets in Lanzarote. They are beautiful couple and I just simple wanted to surprise them and celebrate with them over a dinner via FaceTime. I have never been to Lanzarote, I had no idea how delivery system works over there but I felt determined. Not easy task, hustling in NYC, 5 times zones away, I was afraid of language barriers, payment methods, but mostly - I had only 9 hours to make it happen.
But everything is possible, especially if you are surrounded by the right people. In our case I didn't have to be surrounded by them or even to know them. By recommendation I found V-Factor. As being vegan myself, I made my choice quickly. I sent them message over messenger and I got respond almost immediately. Language wasn't barrier at all, we had some problems to solve, but the staff got so excited about this special occasion that they found solutions to everything.
Let's cut to the case. I let it up to Mitrix to choose the right menu for my friends. And Mitrix did great job. This is what you can see on the picture and what made my carnivore friends fall in love with vegan food.
Appetizers:
VIG "Vurger" - a lot of vegetable such as courgette (zucchini), aubergine (eggplant), with guacamole, hummus and vegan mayo Aubergine with parmesan cheese and sugar cane molasses
Salad with tomato, courgette, lettuce, mushrooms and tofu
Main dishes: "Barquillas" with red beans, vegan "sobrasada" and seitan
Wraps with "sobrasada", parmesan cheese and sugar cane molasses "MeatValls" with rice noodles and homemade tomato sauce.
Desserts:
Chocolate cake, chocolate vegan pancakes (what a hit), soy yogurt with homemade red fruits jam and nuts.
Klara and Petr are not vegans, but guess what. They loved the food so much, they decided to visit the restaurant in person couple days later to try another vegan treats. They told me they enjoyed restaurant's hipster environment as much as the food and they are giving it 5*. I also want to highlight professionality and kindness of a driver who delivered the food from Arrecife to Playa Honda, he was very sweet and he definitely made the surprise for my friend even more special.
You can tell they do business by heart. This is what happens when people do what they like to do. I can't wait to meet them and thank them in person, to hug them.
Experience with this restaurant makes me believe that good people exist. I am not sure, if it has something to do with being Vegan and thinking about the world differently, but I am more and more excited about Vegan community.
Thank you V-Factor, thank you Mitrix, for your love and passion!
