Pretty good set menu

Happy this place was open - today there was a lockdown in the historic centre due to the risk of political unrest, which meant the usual restaurants were all closed.

They had 4 types of set menu starting from 14 soles each. My partner and I went for the most basic one, but even still it was very filling. Many of the choices in the buffet unfortunately weren’t vegan, but they dished us up a soup, small portion of salad and fruit, and for the main - a soy meat and veg stew/curry with rice.

We were halfway through our meal when they brought out a second main dish - tofu in tomato sauce - which was piping hot, so I guess we had accidentally ordered that as well and they made it up fresh 😅 It was definitely the tastiest part of the meal so that was appreciated.

This restaurant appears to be Chinese-owned, and the dishes had more Asian influence than the usual menu del día, which was nice for a change. (Ginger! Hadn’t tasted that in ages.)

Pros: filling & good value, friendly staff

Cons: buffet food was a little cold

Really tasty food, good value

My friend and I ate here today and the food was very tasty, large portions and good value. 14 soles included salad, soup, rice, 3 choices of vegetables, tea/drink. Very full and very happy when we left, the staff was also very kind and helpful. Would definitely return here when back in Arequipa.

Pros: Very good food , Good portions , Good value

Cheap and delicious

Meal comes with soup, salad, a drink, 4 menu portions, and a fruit and yogurt cup for 12 s. Very flavorful all around. Only downside was that the main dish was room temp/cold since they let you finish your soup and salad before bringing over the main plate. I did see a microwave so that’s always an option. Would 100% recommend!

Restaurant buffet - cuisine chinoise végétarienne

Large choix de plats principaux végétariens, pour la plupart savoureux. Possibilité d'ajouter des œufs.
Menu du jour à 10 ou 12 soles comportant une soupe, un refresco, une salade et 3 ou 4 choix de plats accompagnés de riz.

Attention certaines sauces sont très piquantes !

Pros: Restaurant chinois végétarien, Quantités généreuses

Excellent Food, big portion, Very cheap

I had menu that had rice + three items, Soup and Salad. They had hot sauce as well and a drink. For 10 Sols (exactly 3 dollars as I write this), this is a superb deal. Highly recommended.

Pros: Cheap, Tasty

Amazing Deal!

You get soup, salad (which you serve yourself), rice, and 4 options for 10 PEN. I also got their cake/bread thing for 2 PEN. The food wasn’t amazing, but it was decent and super filling! Definitely recommend!

Pros: Cheap, Choose Options/Salad, Filling

Cons: Flavor wise okay

Very pleasant variety

After trying El Puente 2 we came here based on the reviews which were spot on. The salad is self service here and has apple and melon. The price is 10 soles for a good soup, drink, the salad and a choice of 4 mains. I believe that it would cost more to prepare this yourself at home. Great value, great portions and a nice environment.

Pros: Variety of dishes.

Great lunch

I ate there after trying their other restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. There is more choice and the food tasted better. The salad is super healthy, and unlike El Puente 2, is self-service.

Well worth the little detour to eat there!

Pros: Vegan friendly, Nice salad

Cons: Location
