Wholesome lunch

The restaurant was a cosy, relaxing space on a rainy day in La Paz. The location was quite handy for sightseeing Calle Jaén, Plaza Murillo and the National Art Museum.

Menu del día was 30bs each if I remember right - including tea, filtered water, soup with bread, main dish and a small dessert. The staff member said everything was vegan.

It was a filling, wholesome lunch. Particularly enjoyed the quinoa soup and curried broccoli part of the main.

Pros: relaxing atmosphere , tasty nutritious food

Cons: not the cheapest menu del día around, but not bad

Cheap menu del dia

The menu del dia was 20 BS per person and came with a soup, main dish and a small dessert and a tea. Unbeatable value for money.

The soup was fairly plain but okay, the main was a lentil curry dish, potatoes and I think some sort of quinoa mash? Make sure to specify vegan as we forgot and the side salad came with a non-vegan sauce.

Overall good food and really good value.

A little out of the way, but worth the walk

This cafe was a little bit of a walk through the busy city from the backpackers area but we enjoyed it. Nice selection, set menu at great price. Very busy with locals.

Home style food away from home

This restaurant is still open and very popular with the locals. (June 2017)
This is a good option if you are looking for a wholesome vegetarian meal that won't cost you an arm and a leg. I am from Cochabamba and I eat there whenever I am in La Paz. The food is different every day, there is a good variety and it is prasadam. (Bolivian, not typical hindu)
The place is clean and they recently renovated the tables and chairs. I also like that they play very nice mellow music, the perfect accompaniment to a meal.

Pros: Varied, Clean, Prasadam

Inexpensive Bolivian prashad

I had lunch in this place 4 days during my visit to La Paz in May 2014. Every day there is a different menu. The main dish was not always my favourite, but the portions are generous and the price very affordable. It is not Indian food as most ISKCON "Hare Krishna" restaurants around the world but Bolivian food. One receives soup (choice between 2), salad (salad bar with 5 or 6 options), bread, a main dish with 3 or 4 items (one gets to select as well between a few options), a dessert (choice between 2) and a refreshment (choice between 2). The staff is very kind and friendly. For those who are Vaishnava Hindus, this food is prashad and consequently it has been offered to Krishna and it doesn't have garlic, onion, mushrooms or eggs. Please note that the restaurant gets very crowded for lunch (it's very popular among the locals as a lunch spot) so it's better to arrive early if you wish to get a table (there is also the possibility of take away). The sitting area is very nice, decorated with pictures of Radha and Krishna and it's very clean.

Pros: good location, inexpensive, it's prashad

Krshna Temple

Very nice place with positive energy. Food is lacto-vegetarian but always you can find something vegan. 2 people from the temple are vegan so there is always something to eat for vegans. Menu cost 12 Bolivianos. Check out the map how to get there. It's easy if you have directions.

Pros: good food, nice staff , very cheap

Cons: far from the center
