Vegan croquettes · 100% plant-based

Vegan croquettes that actually taste of something.

Violife cheese that melts like real cheese, with no egg or dairy, with the same mould and the same texture as the rest of the menu. They're not a last-minute adaptation: they're flavours designed from scratch to be vegan.

Why our vegan ones taste different

Recipes of their own

Flavours designed to be vegan

There's no "vegan flavour of the day" adapted at the last minute. They're recipes of their own — mushrooms, spinach, pumpkin, carrot, Violife cheese — created from scratch to be vegan, with the same mould as the rest of the menu.

The cheese that melts

Violife slices, no weird stuff

We tried several and settled on Violife. It melts like real cheese, tastes like real cheese and withstands the temperature of the fryer without turning to plastic.

Lactose-free by default

Zero animal products

The vegan ones contain no dairy, no egg, and no animal derivatives whatsoever. If you're lactose intolerant and wanted a croquette without giving up the flavour, the vegan one is for you too.

Flavours vegan ones available

3 flavours with a vegan version. Tap any croquette to see the rest of the variants (gluten-free, lactose-free) and choose fried or frozen format.

How we get a vegan one to taste like a croquette

Real flavours

We don't imitate meat — we start from ingredients that are already vegan

Mushrooms, spinach, pumpkin, vegan cheese. We don't try to disguise anything: we start from ingredients that ALREADY work without animal products, and we treat them with respect.

Same texture

Firm béchamel, crunchy coating

The technical challenge of a vegan croquette is getting the béchamel to set and the coating to stay in place without egg. We've solved it without shortcuts — the texture is just what you'd expect from a classic croquette.

Freshly made

Made every morning, sold the same day

We don't freeze to "keep stock". What goes into the fryer is made to order, and what you buy frozen we freeze ourselves to preserve the texture.

Frequently asked questions

Which vegan cheese do you use?
Violife slices. It melts, tastes of cheese and really holds up to frying. It's the same one we've used since day one: we've tried others, this is the one that makes the cut.
Do the vegan croquettes contain lactose?
No. The vegan versions contain no animal products at all, so they are automatically dairy-free. If what you're after is just lactose-free but with regular cheese, look for the "lactose-free" label on each product page.
Do they contain egg?
No. The vegan croquettes contain no egg, neither in the filling nor in the coating — we use plant-based alternatives so the breadcrumbs stay in place during frying.
Are the vegan ones gluten-free too?
Some are, some aren't — it depends on the flavour. Each product page shows you all the available labels for that flavour (vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free). If you need both vegan and gluten-free at once, tap the flavour in the grid and select the combination that applies.
Do you make them fried and frozen?
Yes, in both formats. We make the fried ones to order; the frozen ones you take home and they go straight from the freezer to the pan or fryer — no need to defrost first. The minimum lead time from online payment is 2 working days.
Where can you buy vegan croquettes in Las Palmas?
At our physical shop at José y María 34 (Lomo Los Frailes, Las Palmas), Tuesday to Sunday from 12:00 to 15:00. You can also order them online and come to collect them within opening hours.

Been a while since you had a croquette that deserves to be called a croquette?

Our vegan flavours are made with the same mould, the same texture and the same care as the rest of the menu — the only difference is there's nothing of animal origin.
