GO EAT THERE - Edit
I never wrote a review in my life, and i only made this account to tell you to go to Chia Vegan restaurant!
Best vegan place in Peru, food is so good, original (you get tired of eating veggie&hummus wraps), and so well presented. Service and prices very good.
I highly recommend this place, it’s delicious!
Pros: Excellent food, Fair prices, Presentation of the food is amazing

Creative and delicious - Edit
We came here twice during our stay in Cusco, and both times we were really impressed with the quality, originality, and taste of the food
Set lunch for only 15 soles was really good value. Juice, soup, salad, main, and dessert. Soup was the and delicious (I think pumpkin). Help yourself salad
bar, with far more than your average tomato and cucumber!! The battered cauliflower was particularly good,plus a variety of sauces. Main was either pesto spaghetti, which was nice and basil-y, or seitan stir fry - the mock meat had a great texture, and the sauce was rich and tasty. Dessert was a small piece of nutty choc cake
We also went for main meal in the evening, for quinoa chaufa (lots of seitan, and very flavoursome) and masaman curry (beautiful thick, rich, nutty sauce!) A bit more pricey going a la carter, but still good value
Pros: Wide variety of food, Great taste, Value set lunch

delicious, pure, beautiful vegan goodness - Edit
I've been to Chia several times now and each time Daniel always greeting me and others with fun energy. I'm always surprised at the care in beautiful presentation which is only outshined by the quality of the ingredients and flavors... good size portions and worth the moderate prices for the area for exceptional vegan food with the just right mix of familiar earth and creativity ❤
Good retro music plays while Daniel makes sure your every need is met with a smile :)
Pros: versatile menu, great compliment of creative beverages, great service
Cons: wooden seating would be nice with cushions

Friendly service and good food - Edit
We ate here twice and enjoyed our meals. There are separate sections on the menu for vegan and vegetarian dishes. There are also vegan cocktails and a happy hour. They add pineapple juice to the vegan pisco sour and when I told them I was allergic to pineapple they made me a new one and let my husband have my original drink. The Massaman curry was good and full of herbs and spices. We also had a vegan burger and the seitan stir fry, both of which were good too. It was quite busy the second time we were there and we were warned that if we ordered dessert it would take some time to arrive. Payment is by cash only.

vegetarian and vegan - Edit
Had a nice meal, however a bit overpriced. Desserts were gorgeous! Please note that the place is wrongly in the "vegan" category. Half of the menu is vegan, half lacto-ovo vegetarian. Should be changed here...

Nice, flavourful set menu - Edit
Had the set menu here. 15 soles for soup, main, a salad bar, drink and dessert. The best was the soup, a miso tofu with rice and veg. A real hearty soup, more than just your typical starter soup. The main was a veggie fettuccine pasta. The salad bar was also really good, different dishes including roast potatoes and other veg with nice sauces. You can probably find cheaper set menus in Cusco but this one was well worth it with dishes prepared fresh for you.

So so so good!! - Edit
Came here for their set menu of the day and oh my goodness, I wish I found this place sooner. Their food was so delicious, their presentations were beautiful, and the portions were incredibly generous!
This is probably my new favorite vegan restaurant in Cusco...the flavors really impressed me that much. I also enjoyed that the space was so open, so you did not feel cramped or rushed eating.
I highly recommend giving his place a try!!
Pros: vegan, delicious, generous set menu of the day

Simple and clean - Edit
I stopped in here for a mid morning snack. I settled for a drink and a smoothie, which was amazing. I was impressed by how well the staff took care of my partner and I even when we were only there for such a small order. Looking at the menu, we would totally have come back if we had had enough time throughout our trip.
Pros: options, clean
Cons: none

Flavourful vegan cuisine - Edit
What a great surprise! We went to Chia 3 times as the food there was so tasty and different from most vegan places we tried in Peru and Bolivia. The Asian inspired dishes are very similar to what you actually eat in Asia, I had the Tom Kha Gai soup and the flavours just reminded me of Thailand (fresh lemongrass and ginger). The chargrilled veggie skewers were the bomb - perfect amount of olive oil, garlic and herbs that made the veggies melting in our mouth. Special mention to the chamomile tea served with fresh chamomile (and very cheap compared to other items on the menu). The set lunch is a good deal as it comes with buffet salad, soup, main, dessert and juice for 14 soles. I know there is cheaper in Cusco but the food there is packed with flavours - and it's very fresh!
Pros: tasty food , nice and comfortable atmosphere
Cons: à la carte menu is a bit pricey

enjoyed starter and main - Edit
Really enjoyed the starter (which was also very well presented) and main course.
Would definitely go back, but skip the dessert (had a melted chocolate 'soup' / quinoa dish).

You can taste a really good food! - Edit
This restaurant is located on a street near to the principal square in Cusco. The menu is varied and you can have breakfast because it is open at 9 a.m and also you can have dinner here because it's open till 11p.m. I had lunch recently in Chía and was pleasantly surprised because the plates are harmonious and creative. The service was excellent - much more attentive than in most Peruvian restaurants . The Quinoa lasagna I think is the best option and also the Paella are really delicious. The desserts are very good and healthy. The milkshakes I highly recommended this place!
Pros: Very tasty, Very healthy, Nice presentation
Cons: Don't have, Don't have, Don't have

top notch vegan food - Edit
My friend Zoë and I came in for a late lunch and had an utterly fantastic meal. I had the Chia Vegetarian Paella and the Andean soup which was super. Zoë had the Vegan " Chicharron Sandwich that was both massive in size and taste.
Pros: organic
Cons: none

Awesome! - Edit
Me and some friends came here yesterday, being the only vegan in the group i elected the spot, and we were not disappointed with my decision. Our server Lays kept it professional throughout, and the wait times were reasonable.
They also served pretty good drinks, the maracuya sours were phenomenal (notice the plural) even my friends that are not vegan were pleased. cheers!
Pros: good price, good portions size, awesome food
