Would go there again - Edit
I had food at Curcuma three times during my stay in El Chalten. The first time I ate there in the afternoon, it wasn't crowded, nice chilled atmosphere, excellent food (hamburguesa, but gluten-free without any bun, with lots of side servings). The second time I ordered the wraps for take-away in the very early evening, which was also very very good. Went to go there one evening again, but it was very crowded, loud hectic music, no chance to get a table. So I ordered again for take-away, the atmosphere wasn't very pleasant anyway. This time the food was not good, the stuffed eggplant was very bitter, the adjoining vegetables not properly cooked. So I wouldn't recommend to go there in the evening, and would recommend you don't order the eggplant.
Read moreCurcuma is all vegan and gluten-free. Expensive, but portion sizes are huge (for me the leftovers would almost be a second meal, or you can share a main meal and then have dessert...). The juices were also tasty, fresh and healthy.

Can’t recommend this place enough! The best food we’ve had in South America yet! (Do be aware that they only take payment in cash)

Incredible food - Edit
Incredible food, I had the aubergine/egg plant dish and it was massive and very tasty! My partner had the vegan pizza which was nice too. They didn't have the desserts we were hoping for, but we were stuffed anyway. It was busy and the staff were raving in the kitchen to music - great atmosphere.

Fabulous place for vegan food in El Chalten - Edit
A whole vegan menu beautifully served. The meals may appear pricey but this is El Chalten and everything is a bit more expensive. This place is worth every peso!

Vegan delights - Edit
We went for an early dinner. The place opens at 4 p.m. We ordered cheese and onion, pizza, and the burger. Along with a couple of juices. The food took about 45 minutes to arrive, and we were the only ones in the restaurant at at the time of ordering our food. So I think, everything was cooked from scratch. The people who worked there speak great English and are very helpful. There is also free Wi-Fi, which is a bit spotty, but better than nothing. The size of the portions were a bit too big for us, and there was no way that we could finish off the two dishes (we ordered a small pizza). A great find, in a small town.

Fresh vegan food - Edit
I went here 3 times for dinner and it was always delicious. The pizza is a little special, but also creative.

Flavorful food - Edit
Deliciously flavored food. The pizzas are wonderful as is the zucchini noodle dish. Enjoyed the chocolate smoothie very much! Felt bad for the 2-3 staff working as they were super busy which resulted in our food taking an 1.5hrs to arrive. Our server brought hummus and veggies over around an hour in to hold us over- very kind gesture.

Fresh, healthy and tasty! - Edit
I arrived around 10 pm and they only had wraps to take away at that point. The wraps were huge, filling, fresh, healthy, tasty. The place was cozy and the staff and service was great.
Read moreUpdate: went back to try the pizza. Alright but a bit plain / boring. The mate with cocoa and coconut milk was pretty good though.
The wifi is sh*te but that’s seems to be a general problem in El Chaltén. Recurring problems with the credit card connection. Better bring cash.

AMAZING!!! A must visit - Edit
This restaurant was perfect!
Read moreThe service was incredible and the food was sooo good!
And apparently it is also gluten free :)
The food was great, the cashew cream dessert was very good and the zoodles were amazing as well.
Another recommended dish- the finger food!
I definitely recommend going there (and if you have the time, more than once)

Hungry after hiking ? - Edit
Unique cozy place in El Chalten. We were really happy to find out that there is a vegan restaurant in this little hiking town and even happier when we tried there food . We came two times and if we would stayed longer we would definitely came more often. Everything is made of fresh ingredients and tastes amazing.

Will definitely come back - Edit
One of the best vegan meals we’ve had in Argentina. Can recommend the Risotto (3300) and Verde Smoothie (1400). The muffin of the day (400) was quite dry though!
Read moreThe eggplant and courgette dishes were also really hearty and tasty (note that the latter is courgette spaghetti though, not regular pasta!).
Pros: Nice setting, Friendly staff, Delicious food

Great smoothies. Small menu of mainly wraps, pizzas, and desserts. Seemed fairly popular. It’s small so it made service slow, but it had a pleasant atmosphere.

I ate here every day of my trip - Edit
This is the perfect vegan restaurant. After days of eating sandwiches that were hardly vegan friendly, this vegan oasis in Patagonia saved my life. I got nutritious delicious meals that made me so happy. The people who work here are so nice and really helpful. I ate my final dinner in the greenhouse and genuinely had the time of my life. I’m so thankful for this restaurant. I hope to come back. The owner is a goddess.

Great vegan food! Service lacks a bit. - Edit
So happy to have found this small vegan restaurant. We came back twice since the food was tasty except for their desserts. We didn’t like their muffins nor their raw chocolate truffles.
Read moreThe only downside is that the staff seems uninterested to take you to your table or take your order. We had to get their attention several times. Hence the 4 stars.
Pros: Food is good
Cons: Slow service , Unfriendly staff
