Great restaurant but unfortunately closed for 2 months

Really beautiful location and nice vegan options although the burger is only vegetarian as they use egg to make the protein

Pros: Fair prices and great food of the day

Cons: It closed till the end of Oktober

Lovely place

The coffee is really beautiful, we feel so good in this place. We took a garden salad really tasty with fresh vegetables.
This is a bit expensive for Bolivia but this is a nonprofit organization so it feel nice to give for a good cause!

Tasty

The food was good, service and location nice. I wanted to eat there also the next day (Sunday), but it was closed, even so it should have been open.

Good food, great location, very busy

On three occasions, I had a Falafel sandwich, a set menu lunch, and a Bolonessa Pasta with Garlic Bread and Fries. Falafel is one of the only three vegan items on menu. It was delicious but small - adding a side would be great. Set lunch was vegan and included soup, main with bread, dessert and drink - everything was delicious and that too only for BOB 25. Bolonessa Pasta with Garlic Bread is the second of the only three vegan items on menu - it was OK - nothing to write home about. Service can be occasionally slow if very busy.

Bon restaurant avec un cadre sympa

Un restaurant végétarien avec de nombreux plats végétaliens ou véganisable sur demande. Le personnel est adorable et peut donner des conseils. Choix sympa de bières boliviennes. Le menu du jour à midi est très bon marché et varié.

Pros: Bon, bon marché et cadre sympa.

Cons: /

Good burgers and sandwiches

The whole menu was vegetarian and could be adapted to be vegan as far as we could see. It was reasonably priced, especially happy hour deals for wine and beer. Central location with good wifi. Nice staff.
Beware the brownie is a banana bread, still nice!

The first time I was advised there were few vegan options but the next day a lady attending us was very knowledgable and offered me amazing vegan pancakes! There is also pasta with soy, salad, toast, etc.

Pros: Pancakes

Cons: Limited vegan options

Ok but not amazing

Has a few vegan options (bruschetta, vegetable toastie without cheese, falafel sandwich without yoghurt). Tomatoes in the bruschetta were nice but the bread was untoasted and so went soggy. The fallafel tasted nice but was very dry.

Pros: Vegan options, Very friendly staff, Speedy WIFI

Cons: Food not great

Loved every bite!

Chill restaurant and easy to find in the beautiful city of Sucre. Sandwiches and Menus del dia could all be made vegan and were absolutely delicious! Haven’t found any other restaurants were they had vegan dishes with a lot of taste. This one doesn’t serve sauces that are basically ketchup mixed with water, no, it’s really nice sauces and soups! So condor cafe was definitely my place to go while being in Sucre!

not enough options for vegans

I went there for dinner and asked directly, if they have vegan dishes or something they could veganize.
They offered me to veganize the salad by leaving away the egg, or I could have had the peanut soup, that normally comes with the menu.
The sandwiches can not be veganized as the bread contains milk.
The staff is friendly, the atmosphere cozy but loud. They don't seem to depend on vegans.
They also offer ecotourism.

Pros: friendly staff, nice ambience

Cons: not much vegan options

Vegetarian food, reasonably priced

This place is an establishment in Sucre, it’s easy to find and at lunch time there are queues to get in for their 25b 3 course meal. We didn’t make it for lunch but went there for dinner. The dishes we had were just okay, though the chocolate mousse for dessert was delicious. They have some interesting beers e.g. coca beer, quinoa beer available. We shared 3 main courses, 1 dessert and 2 large bottles of beer and it came to around the equivalent of $17 US (£12).

delicious menu del dia

Absolutely cannot fault their 25 BoB menu del dia for lunch! Service was swift and friendly and the restaurant is spacious, clean and comfortable with decent wifi. It includes a bread with two dips, nice sized soup, main (rice & lentil curry), and small dessert. Everything was fresh and tasty! Their menu is all vegetarian and reasonably priced for a tourist-oriented place. We will definitely return!

Cons: hot beverages extremely overpriced

Quality food, cosy place, friendly staff

Although not vegan this was my favourite place in Sucre. The cafe is so cosy, with a very nice and friendly lay out, fast internet, and lovely staff that knows the ingredients and the menu so well. They can accomodate vegans very easily and anyway I found that the menu del dia (25 bolivianos) was mostly vegan (soups, curries, stews) except for the dessert that often contained dairy. From the condiments to the bread or even the drinks everything was of high quality. The place is a non for profit (it's actually a tourism agency) and the money goes to the local community.

Pros: warm/cosy/friendly place , menus are very filling and tasty , NGO

Cons: maybe add more vegan items to the menu?

Very problematic for vegans

I loved this place but there has been one problem after another from a vegan perspective. I put them aside for a long time, because it is a non-profit organization helping local people and serves tasty food in a nice environment, but they have eventually soured my view.

I'd never use the word 'vegan(o/-a)' in a general restaurant, but in a vegetarian one it is (otherwise) always fine. However, it is as though Condor is vegetarian by chance or mistake. When I first went, the waitress had no idea what 'vegano/-a' meant. When we got to the bottom of it, she told me that the options were falafal (without yoghurt) or bruschetta. I alternated between them over the next eight or so times I went there.

Then I happened to notice on the menu that the soup of the day was 'begana', by which they meant 'vegana', i.e. vegan. This v/b mistake is weirdly common (if I can spell Spanish words correctly then why shouldn't native speakers?) but the letter V is so symbolically important in veg(etari)anism that it's indicative of Condor's odd stance relative to the movement that they would get that wrong. I pointed out the error but explicitly stated that I still loved the place and was going to give five stars in my reviews.

That time and the next I had the soup of the day twice each. It came with a bread roll and the fourth time I noticed that it was quite shiny. I asked the waitress and she said that it was egg. I went and raised the issue with the waiter I'd ordered from. He said that the soup was vegan but the bread wasn't, as though this were reasonable! I couldn't get him, or another waiter who joined in without my asking him to, to recognize what a big deal this was. The second waiter, to whom I had mentioned the misspelling, also said that he could not bear my complaining 'all the time', even though this consisted of one occasion in which I bent over backwards to wrap up a minor comment in compliments and this occasion in which my fundamental values had been rough-trodden. It was just so frustrating as I'd been there many times and very often used the word 'vegano/-a', including at the moment of ordering the soup. Any reasonable person would have understood that I was vegan all the time and that I didn't just want to randomly eat non-vegan bread.

I checked the following day about the falafel and the bruschetta. The waitress told me that that bread also had egg. I should therefore never have been told they were vegan. I feel sullied that I ate them so often.

Pros: Non-profit, Central location

Cons: Fewer and fewer actually vegan options, Staff cannot grasp veganism.

Amazing place to hang out

Although it is not a vegan place they are vegan friendly. We fell in love with their Tucamanas. We struggle to get the possible recipe behind it, they were really amazing! Also the sauces accompanying the food were very good, as well as the falafels. They have soy milk.

A positive point for Condor Cafe is their community involvement. You should try their Organic Farm tour! It a worthwhile experience and the people you meet are amazing.
Condor Cafe es chalita!

Pros: TucumanasTucumanasTucumanas!, Organic Farm Tour, Friendly staff

Cons: Limited vegan options

difficulties ordering

Even after asking multiple times if the menu contained egg, milk etc we were served a main dish of scrambled eggs and dessert with yogurth.
The alternatives were tasty enough but the first assurance 'si, todo es vegano' definitely was untrue...

Great place for lunch!

The condor café is very lovely. The lunch special is 25 bolivians. It included a soup, a fruit drink, a main dish and a dessert. The soup included different types of vegetables. The main dish was lentil and rice- with lots of spices. All the portions are quite big and satisfying.

No es solo un restaurante

El proyecto sin animo de lucro que gestiona este local es admirable. La comida muy rica, pero en el menu del dia no suele haber opcion vegana, espero que lo cambien pronto. Local agradable y muy espacioso. El menu cuesta 25-30 Bolivianos y todos los alimentos son organicos. Ademas contribuye con diferentes proyectos sociales.

Pros: Proyecto muy interesante. Comida organica

Cons: Poca opcion vegana

Good

There are no vegan labels so you implicitly have to ask for it. The food is good. I had a falafel sandwich (without yogurt sauce) but I'm not quite sure if the bread was really vegan.
