A fully vegan restaurant in Russafa with a creative menu of plant-based comfort food, burgers, and bowls that will impress even dedicated carnivores.
Peggy Lee is a fully vegan restaurant in Valencia's Russafa neighbourhood, on Carrer de Sueca, that has earned a devoted following for its creative plant-based comfort food. The kitchen takes a fundamentally different approach from most vegan restaurants — rather than building dishes around raw ingredients and nutritional credentials, Peggy Lee leans into the comfort-food tradition: burgers, tacos, loaded bowls, and fried preparations that happen to contain no animal products and are designed to be genuinely craveable rather than merely virtuous. The vegan burger in particular — made with a house-crafted patty, proper burger bun, and the full complement of toppings — is considered one of the best in Valencia, attracting diners who are not vegan specifically but who recognise a well-made burger when they encounter one. Jackfruit tacos draw on Latin American culinary influences. Raw cheesecake delivers the pleasure of dessert without dairy. The interior is relaxed and informal, typical of the best Russafa neighbourhood spots — good music, friendly service, casual furniture. Open Tuesday through Sunday, the restaurant serves lunch daily with dinner added Thursday through Saturday. No reservation is required. Peggy Lee is a strong recommendation for vegan and vegetarian visitors, but equally for anyone curious about where plant-based cooking in Valencia is at its most assured.
