Little awareness of veganism - Edit
Some meals were really good such as the vegetable soup, but a majority were poor and lacked understanding of a vegan diet. I was served beans that were cooked in bone broth (I found a bone) and fruit juice with milk until I asked for it to be with water.
Read morePros: Vegetable soup, Vegetable tacos , Strawberry smoothie with water
Cons: Lack of understanding, Repetitive options (same mix of frozen veg), No seasoning

Not good - Edit
They have a "vegetarian and vegan" menu but the staff couldn't clearly tell us what was vegan, seemed like he was guessing. Ordered the vegetarian burger but vegan, clarified multiple times but it came with cheese. Then asked to change it to the arepa but then they gave me the vegan burger anyway. They didn't seem to care or make much effort. Not to mention the food was not that good.

Poor customer service, don't know difference between vegan and veggie - Edit
We came for dinner because they had a veggie and vegan menu but I don't think they understand the difference between the two. We ordered a burger and specific that we are vegan, so no cheese, milk, butter, Mayo, etc. The waiter seemed to understand. We also got an arepa with veggies. The burger came out with cheese.... and they had to confirm if I wanted sauce on the arepa because it was made with Mayo. Even though we specific several times that we are vegan. Also when the burger came with cheese and we said it was not vegan, they seemed to be vary inconvenienced by us. Not friendly at all, no apology, really poor customer service.

Okay - Edit
Nice to have a separate vegan/vegetarian page of the menu. Make sure to specify vegan when ordering. Okay food, nothing special but affordable.

Good option for such a small town - Edit
Panama has been kinda hard being vegan. Everything has meat or fish. This place isn’t perfect, there’s no vegan cheese and it’s a mix of vegan and vegetarian options. But the vegan hamburger was really good, it had a patty made of a mix of fried grains and veggies, tomatoes, lettuce, ketchup, and avocado. It was pretty tasty after struggling to find anything other than pringles and ramen. The fries were perfectly seasoned. It was hard to communicate with the server because I know very minimal Spanish, but he knew what vegans means and double checked that I wanted it fully vegan. I went here twice because it was a solid choice. Also a street dog came up and sat with us, and was very cute.
Read morePros: Staff knowledgeable about veganism, Large portions, Good price
Cons: No vegan cheese, Food wasn’t AMAZING but okay

Cozy columbian restaurant in El Valle de Anton with vegan options - Edit
Loved that the staff here is knowledgeable about vegan options. Had the Comida del dia, Arepa rellana de vegetales and Sopa de vegetales. Loved the Arepa the best. Their jugos are also very good. Definitely recommend this place.

Restaurante agradable con muchas opciones veganas y vegetarianas - Edit
Restaurante muy bien decorado y ambientado, cuentan con una carta bastante extensa con platos vegetarianos que se pueden hacer veganos.
Read moreIMPORTANTE: si eres vegano, especifica que lo eres y di que no quieres que lleve el plato, lo digo porque en mi caso, aunque especifiqué 2 o 3 veces que quería que fuesen veganos, de los 3 platos uno llevaba queso y el otro leche... es por eso que no lo puntúo bien, porque aunque tienen buena intención y se han esforzado en hacer opciones veganas, no parece ser que lo tengan tan en cuenta a la hora de cocinar.
Pros: Muchas opciones vegetarianas y veganas, Lugar agradable, Personal amable
Cons: Cuidado si eres vegano (lee mi comentario), Lentitud a la hora de servir

Yummy, lots of veggie options! - Edit
On their menu they have lots of veggie options! Make sure to specify vegan, I did but my causa still came with an egg on top sadly :(. Other than that it was so tasty and flavourful, yum! Also their juices are amazing, my favourite being Guanábana! The prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants in el valle.😄The veggie empanada is also good!

Cheap & not much flavour - Edit
You get what you pay for. The food is nicely arranged but is not flavourful. But it's great that the staff puts a lot of effort into offerung vegan options.
Read morePros: Cheap, Quite a few options
Cons: Food tasted bland, They use frozen vegetables instead of fresh ones

I think this is more because we don't use many spices in Colombia. For most foreigners it tasts bland.😅🤣

Colombian veggie dishes - Edit
Nice casual place with quite a few vegan and veganizable meals. We had the Peruvian meal Causa (mashed potatoes with veggies) and Arepa with veggies. Both were good, filling and the price also low compared to the rest of town. Definitely recommended!
Read morePros: Friendly service , Staff knows what vegan means
Cons: A lot of single use plastic for the drinks

Toller Veganer Patty im Burger - Edit
Der Burger war okay, aber der Patty war mit Spinat und anderem Gemüse, dieser war unglaublich gut! Brot und Co. waren nur OK. Die Preise sind um 1-2 Dollar angehoben, sodass der Burger z. B. ~$5,75 kostet

Good vegan options - Edit
They have a separate vegetarian menu of which most of the dishes can be made vegan. Staff knows about veganism and is happy to help. We tried the hamburger and a potato dish and the food tasted good. On top of that, the food is really cheap. Recommend to check out this place, when you are in El Valle as there are not that many vegan options around.
Read morePros: Good prices
Cons: Not completely vegan
