Cafe Zorba

A great vegetarian pizza restaurant. A really interesting selection of pizza choices with great flavour combos (espinaca and cebolla highly recommended). They have live music on Wednesdays and Saturdays too - normally a small cover fee. We've been twice so far and will return.

We arrived in Medellin late, and were excited there was a veg option open late (most Colombian veg restaurants only serve lunch, and a select few keep 6-9pm dinner hours). the hours on Happy Cow said 5pm-12pm, but may vary. We called, and they said they were open until 11:30pm tonight. When we arrived at 11pm, hoping to get some food to go, the kitchen staff yelled CERRADO out of the window next to the front door, and when I questioned the hours clearly posted on a blackboard outside of the door, the cook started mocking me and yelled CERRADO (closed) again... WOW! I definitely wouldn't have wanted to have eaten food prepared by someone with terrible energy, so in a way I was grateful for it not working out. Beware of bad vibes, even if you do catch them when they're taking customers....

Cuando era vegetariana fui allí y para quienes consumen lácteos tienen muy buenas y deliciosas opciones, las pizzas son excelentes, sin embargo me gustaría que hubieran más opciones para quienes somos veganos, de hecho incursionar con un par pizzas veganas podría suponerles una innovación interesante en el mercado.

Its not a vegan-friendly. It is vegetarian friendly... but not vegan except some normal entrees (chips, potatoes, etc...).

But if you are a strict vegan, you wont find a main dish here.

However the place is nice.

This place is great for a date or for friends but I need four of their pizzas to feel nourished. Their pizzas are very light and yes, they contain white wheat. The location is perfect. This is a social spot but don't expect a big meal if you eat like I do. Again, the crust is really thin. But the music and atmosphere is better than anything else in Medellin. Live music on Wed and Sun I think.

Cafe Zorba is a hip, Kiwi run pizza bar near Parque Linea El Presidenta. I ordered the margharita without the cheese, and it was awesome - plenty of olive oil and herbs, great marinara, and an awesome puffy, crunchy crust.

Great indoor/outdoor location. Awesome music playing.
Had the hummus plate followed up with the pizza with caramelized onions and roasted pistachios. Very delicious. Washed it down with a beer.
