Great Plant-Based Chilean Dinner!

We enjoyed delicious plant-based versions of local Chilean dishes including Stewed Beans or Porotos Granados, a traditional Chilean stew which I regularly make at home. https://www.pcrm.org/good-nutrition/plant-based-diets/recipes/porotos-granados, delicious Cochayuyo Charquican after a starter of Sweet Corn Pie. We finished with both vegan desserts, which were beautifully presented.

Pros: Great English speaking service , Nice vibe and ambiance , Delicious, creative food, beautifully presented

Great vegan local food

We had a classic charquican with a twist of cochallullo, a typical chilean dish which is hard to find without meat. We also had a corn cake, both were fantastic and super tasty, the ambience is great, classic south of Chile.

Pros: Variety of options, Local food, not only burgers or pizza

Great Vegan Chilean Food!

We enjoyed the pumpkin soup, stewed beans, and cochayoto charquican- all very delicious. Menu in English and staff spoke English. They only take cash. Would highly recommend for vegan versions of a couple traditional Chilean meals!

Great vegan option

A vegan-safe place in not very vegan-friendly city. They have three offers of guilty-free food. They also have meat and fish in the menu. Staff is very nice and the owner is an awesome guy. Prices are right for the offer. For what I tried, best-in-town.

Pros: Nice Staff, Beatiful furnitures, 3 vegan options + 1 vegetarian

Cons: Not fully veg

Cash only

Very nice vegan options - especially given Punta Arenas is pretty limited for vegan food (Wake Up coffee place is the best lunch/coffee option by far). However, is *cash only* and nearest cash points/ATMs weren’t working when I was there. This made life difficult! Why in 2022 would you not have a card machine!? Staff friendly though and food was good and creative Chilean vegan dishes - not standard fare. Was told the current chef is vegetarian (though they serve meat options etc) so is very open to ensuring vegan options are on the menu.

Only two vegan options

The quality is good but our choice was limited only to two options. The portions are small and I don’t consider the prices to be reasonable. Still nice atmosphere but the place is more for meat eaters. Also I had a feeling that all guests were foreigners

A few veggie options, not great

More meaty place with a few veg options, not amazing in taste and a bit on the expensive side too.
13 USD for 4 or 5 pie es of ravioli is a bit on the high side.

Cons: Expensive and less veg options.

Artsy atmosphere, creative menu,

Excellent communication with the staff and our waiter asked the chef to make us a vegan dessert because they didn’t have one available. Will return when we come back through Punta Arenas in a couple of weeks.

Great Chilean Food

Really nice place with a good selection of vegetarian starters and mains. Many of the dishes are inspired by local dishes making them a little different to common vegetarian options. I went for the dish with cochayuyo and can certainly recommend. Others here have complained about the portion size but it seemed fine to me.

Pros: Great local dishes

Very good

For a vegetarian it is a very good restaurant. 4 different options, plus the starters (soups) and desserts.
The food is very tasty, but a little bit expensive (the portion is quite small for the price I think).
The staff is adorable.
I would go back to try the other meals.
Better reserve before going, they were almost full on a Monday evening in end of summer.

Pros: good vegetarian choice, very tasty, adorable staff

Cons: expensive, too small portions

no vegan food

We were looking forward to eating here given the reviews. To our disappointment when we told them that we were vegan they said they were unable to accommodate us as their vegetarian dishes could not be made vegan. I would not rely on this place to provide you with vegan options.

Vegetarian section

Popular place, we were lucky to get seated without reservation. The vegetarian section has 4 dishes and can be made vegan. The bean stew was good but portions are indeed small. With so few veg options in this town you should go here. Also, the dark house beer was good.

Pros: Friendly staff, Good atmosphere, Several veg options

Cons: Cash only, Small portions

Not much else in town

They have a vegetarian section of the menu with four options they told us could all be veganized. The stew with sea veggies is deconstructed (i.e., no broth) and was good. The stew with beans is a real stew and was delicious. It also the only vegan by default option. The food is the most authentic for the region we found. The portions are a bit small, I'd recommend you get 3 dishes for 2 people.
