Such a nice time with friends and family

Our favourite in the area so far as far as vegan options go. Vegan poutine, kimchi fries and vegan caesar salad all tasty! The location is so beautiful, and they have swings, games and a janky tree house for kids-mine loved it and I could chat with friends while they played!

Good vibes and food

This place has live music most nights and is next to a river. Good food and menu that tells you what is vegan. I got the vegan Caesar salad and a smoothie - yum!

They have an extensive menu with vegan options. Their French fries are AMAZING! Pizza was very good. They can make vegan smoothies too.

Lovely food, nice owners

We ate twice at Rio Negro and really enjoyed it there. We had the burger and the pizza, which were both really tasty. There was no vegan cheese on the pizza but it didn't detract as it had plentiful tasty toppings. The fries are also excellent. I failed to take a pic of the burger. The staff (and I believe may have been the owner) were really friendly, and it had a nice vibe. If you choose a table near to the water, be warned, there are cockroaches that appear after dark, but the tables closer to the road were fine.

Great food, great atmosphere

The vegan pizza and vegan bowls are really tasty, and the coffee is really high quality, the owner is extremely friendly and was chatting to us for a while and explained that he sources it directly from an independent coffee farm in CR. Saw he went around to the other customers to chat to them too. The setting is beautiful too surrounded by trees near the river. He even helped us get home by offering to call a tuktuk and giving us the numbers of two different tuktuk drivers to use.

Leckeres Essen zum Guten Preis

Standard Menükarte, mit Veganer Pizza, veganem Burger und veganer Bowl. Geschmacklich gut aber nicht allzu besonders. Ambiente an sich schön aber direkt an lauter Straße gelegen.

Open late!

This place saved me after getting done with a tour late and most other places being closed. They served me dinner at 9:45p. So grateful. The staff gave great recommendations and the menu was clearly marked. The vegan burger was super tasty.

Nice place, good food

I had the vegan bowl, I was super happy with it, very tasty. I also had the vegane organic brownie with local chocolate, I couldn't be happier. Maybe they could have more vegan options but maybe if you ask they could offer you something more

Pros: Fresh food , Easy to find

Cons: Maybe more vegan options

Multiple vegan options

Cute atmosphere. We had a couple adorable cats relaxing around the property which is always a plus for me. I had the vegan bowl which was a salad with falafel and this amazing passion fruit sauce on it. My sis had to vegan burger. We enjoyed both. They also had a vegan curry dish and vegan pizza. Their soda come from a glass bottle rather than plastic. 👌🏼

Pros: Multiple vegan options. , Kitties

Fun restaurant

Fun restaurant on the side of the road with the rainforest around it. Owner/Server was friendly and accommodating to explain all the vegan options. She said they had more vegan menu items coming soon. The green juice was delicious. There were dart frogs hopping around in the woods right next to the restaurant which was awesome!

Pros: Great atmosphere , Nice people

Cons: No vegan cheese for burger or pizza

Great food and very friendly staff

I went there with my non-vegan boyfriend. We shared a Guacamole as an appetizer which was very good. I had the vegan burger as a main dish. Also very tasty. It did not cost so much and I was full afterwards. To my boyfriend the size of the meal could have been bigger but for me it was perfect.

I went with my non vegan family and everyone had great food. Including me. I had the pizza and I must say, I ordered two. One I shared with my family. Yup, it was that good!

Pros: Options, Location, Parking space

Cons: When it rains, sitting spaces are reduced

¡Yummy!

Básico

Pedí guacamole y un sandwich vegetariano con verduras a la parrilla (pedí que le quitasen el queso). El sandwich venia en pan de hamburguesa y no tenía nada de especial.

Pros: Lugar agradable y tranquilo

Cons: Caro para lo que ofrecen, Pocas opciones veganas

Nice atmosphere & decent food

My partner and I ate dinner here and enjoyed our food.
She had the fish of the day and I had their homemade lentil vegan burger plus their salad (minus the goats cheese).

Although the fish was overcooked and the burger - like any other burger and fries - were heavy in the stomach, the flavours were good. The service (owners?) were very sweet. Overall it wouldn’t be my first choice as a vegan but can recommend it if your stuck for a place to eat.

Pros: A few vegan options

An incredibly caring host and delicious food

Greeted by Cesar the owner, we were told about the array of vegan options available. Even when throwing the curve ball of no nightshades he just smiled and adapted all his recipes to fit us. A rare exception on our trip so far.
One of our party had fish, locally caught (again not that common on the carribean coast) which they enjoyed.
Also all organic produce.

Pros: A delicious vegan option in each course , Went beyond to cater to our allergies, Organic produce
