Background

About Frutas Prohibidas

The Story

Frutas Prohibidas opened in Conde Duque in 2016 as a fully plant-based project, pitched at vegans and non-vegans alike. Its all-day brunch concept keeps the kitchen open right through, so you can come at any hour and order anything on the menu.

The Cuisine

The food is 100% vegetal. The team makes its own proteins, cheeses, sauces and dressings in its own obrador, then builds dishes around them, with the rest mostly local, organic and fair-trade produce, finished with specialty coffee roasted in Madrid.
