Bad service, good food

Food is nice but staff is terrible. We came in and asked if they had vegan options for which we received a reply “mhm” with a serious face from the guy. And then the whole time there we had a feeling like we were distracting waiters from their battle field game which they were playing. They accept only cash which is also disappointing in 2020. Prices are not reasonable for this kind of service.

Cute little restaurant in Puerto Natales

You feel at home in a comfortable living room. The food is lovely and the owner as well. One of my favorite place in Puerto Natales.
There are also some magazine. You come here for half an hour, you finally stay all the afternoon as you feel so well !

Pros: Delicious food, Nice, cute

Cons: Not a huge choice

Good food, nice place and excellent staff

We ate here several times since there are not many vegan options in Puerto Natales. The place is very nice and the people are super friendly. We were really happy with having this safe haven in our days.

The food was tasty and was always well presented . Definitely recommend it

Cons: Expensive

Muy bonito espacio.

Espacio sumamente acogedor y novedoso por la disposición de los comensales en sillones, además de contar con mesas convencionales. Con mi pareja comimos la hamburguesa vegana y el hummus con verduras y estaban deliciosos y las porciones estaban muy bien. Lo negativo son los precios un tanto elevados y el servicio de mesa que cobran. Además tardan un tiempo en atenderte, tal vez porque los dos chicos a cargo que estaban el día que fuímos se encontraban desbordados. Quizás podrían contar con algunas opciones veganas más. De todos modos, es un lugar para no perderse.

Pros: Buenas opciones veganas.

Cons: Un poco caro.

Finally a nice veggie place in Patagonia

Nice place, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Not a big place, I would recommend to make a reservation. I was happy and grateful for a nice vegan meal in Patagonia. They have vegan wine too. Fair prices. No credit-debit card accepted. Cash only.

Nice place and great vegan alternatives

Warm and comfortable place. It have a special section of vegan options in the menu. I ordered a hot chocolate and a chocolate cake and loved both. The price is very normal.
It delay a little bit and they haven't credit card option (or transbank), only cash.

Pros: A lot of vegan options

Cons: The don't have all the alternatives available , Haven't card pay option

Great find, especially on Christmas Eve

Such a change from the never ending cheeseless pizza or pasta with strange sweet tomato sauce that frequently you find is the only vegan option in South America. Food was well prepared and spiced beautifully. Numerous vegan options as well as dessert. The homemade bread is to die for!!

Vegetarian relief in Chile

Delicious vegetarian food after pretty dismal choices elsewhere in Chile. Good selection of seasonal, locally sourced, organic products.

Awesome vegan options

We’ve been eating almost exclusively here since we arrived in Puerto Natales. Such an awesome veggie oasis. Great atmosphere and lovely owners, they’ve got a separate vegan menu and the daily special and soup can normally be made vegan. We’ve had two kinds of soup, vegan sausages and mash, vegan curry, brownies, hummingbird cake, avocado ice cream and some delicious guacamole bruschetta. All house made and tasty. The food has a great homestyle feel. Just what you want after days and days of hiking.

So many vegan options!

This place is a vegetarian restaurant but tell the staff you’re vegan and they’ll give you a whole separate menu with vegan options. They’ve even got multiple vegan desserts. I tried the pumpkin and walnut stuffed ravioli, and the homemade carrot cake and the apple and pineapple cake which all were absolutely delicious. Also the staff were really friendly.

The best you can find in Magallanes Region

I visited Punta Arenas and Puerto Natales and this cozy restaurant is the only veg place you can find in the region. I really can say is good! Although is a vegeterian restaurant, you can ask for the vegan menu. I had the pumpkin and walnut filled pasta with fresh tomato sauce and my partners the black bean chili with mashed potatos. Both plates were nice and tasty. For dessert we tried the carrot cake and mocha coffee, which you can ask with soy or rice milk. I'm really thankful! (A tip: they only accept cash)

Pros: Only vegetarian restaurant in the region, Good food, Located in the center of town

Cons: Not wide variety of vegan plates, Only accepts cash, Staff runs short

Delicious

Great restaurant with many vegan options. We had the burrito, lentil soup and veggie casserole. For dessert we had a carrot cake (Without the icing because it was not vegan). All delicious food!

The vegan place in town

A very friendly vegan-vegetarian cafe and restaurant with the best coffee I had in Chile. Great carrot cake, cool music, tasty burger, good beer - a place that makes you feel at home. But just like many restaurants in Chile no really cheap. Menu is vegetarian-vegan, but they have a vegan-only menu if you ask for it.

Friendly atmosphere and great food

This is a really lovely place with great food and a cozy atmosphere. So good I went there twice in my short time in Puerto Natales. The second time I got there when the kitchen was officially closing (9:30pm) but they were still happy to make food for me.
Note they are open Sun-Fri and not on Saturdays.

Pros: Great food, Friendly and cozy atmosphere

no words

After traveling for three months through Argentina, I was so happy to finaly find a place with spicy food.
Therefore I ordered the burritos and fell in love with them.
I came back for a second time and had the daily menu: veggie-mousaka...
I was also able to order tap water, which is a plus. Furthermore the staff and the place are so welcoming and friendly and make you feel at home.

Pros: cozy atmosphere, excellent food, friendly staff

Cons: none

Vegan gem

So glad to find this place. Choice of soya OR almond milk, when does that happen?! I had beetroot flavoured pasta with a tomato and walnut sauce, Simon had a curry, rice and salad - both very tasty. We had carrot and tomato soup with bread to start, great. We went back later in the day for more tea and carrot cake. Do visit this lovely place, you will not be disappointed. I wish we were staying longer in Puerto Natales so we could sample some more of this lovely vegan food.

Great ambience!

I spent time at El Living twice while I was in Puerto Natales. The vegan burger was tasty with a nice texture but it perhaps lacked a little flavour. The soy chai tea was also nice on a cold and wet day. My favourite thing about El Living, however, is the ambience – there are lots of couches as well as a place to sit near the fireplace. Grab a magazine off the shelf and unwind.
