Go for it!

Während meiner Zeit in Medellín, war ich 3x dort, eine absolute Empfehlung! Habe immer das täglich wechselnde Tagesmenü in vegan genommen (für 17.000). Es kommt mit einer Suppe, einen Hauptgericht, Dessert und Saft. Es hat mir immer sehr gut geschmeckt. Die Mitarbeiter:innen sind alle sehr lieb.

No es el mejor almuerzo

Almuerzo típico a 17k, rico pero no sobresaliente.

Great restaurant

We stayed at the Centro Hostel in Medellin twice and were always excited to go to this restaurant which is pretty close by. We tried the menu el dia twice and really liked it. The portions are quite big so it is definitely filling. We wanted to try something new the last time we went there and decided to get the Mexican and the Govindas Burger with fries and juice for around 25.000 COP each. These burgers were amazing, they are prepared with vegan cheese (I think they said it’s cashew but my spanish is not the best) a really tasty patty and lots of sauce. The Mexican burger even has pineapple on it which sounds kinda odd but tasted delicious. I can definitely recommend this restaurant and I’m already looking forward to eat these burgers again!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Cheap prices

Tasty food.

Enjoyed the food and service here.
Much better than what you might expect from one of these places.

Pros: Plenty of options & most dishes can be veganised, Good value

Cons: No alcoholic drinks of course!, Some of the flavours you expect are not present.

Very good food here

I went on a Sunday afternoon and got the meal of the day which currently costs 15,000 pesos (October 2022). Other places serve a really boring meal on the weekends but the meal here was very good. There was a bowl of vegetable soup, a glass of fruit juice, a small dessert, and the main plate with six different items. The flavors are very good and it's a good value.

Pros: Tasty food , Good value , Open Sunday!

Really good and cheap menu

Great little menu del dia - starter main and dessert for around 14000 COP (less than £3) we had a great soup, nice rice and beans dish served with a bruger pattee and salad and then for dessert this sweet fruity sauce (bit odd bit its something they serve in a lot of places round here). We also got some really nice enpanadas - 9000 COP for 8 of them! The resteraunt also has a small shop downstairs selling vegans meats and so on (see pics)

Good veg/vegan restaurant

I came to the restaurant with my girlfriend from Panama, where 'menu' means 'carta' but apparently in Colombia 'menu' means 'menu del dia' so we ended up in a Latin American cross-border Spanish misunderstanding. Thankfully the server (who had brought us the menu del dia) was understanding.

In the end we ordered a vegetarian burger and a vegan bowl which were both tasty and quite generously portioned. The wooden decor is simple but appealing.

Delicious and good prices

Offer a menu of the day or dishes in the menu, super tasty and cheap!
I recommend the burrito and the hot dog (choripero)

Yummy vegan options, amazing terrace

Estaba muy contenta de encontrar este lugar abierto, andabamos con hambre después del tour por Medellín. ☺ Hay muchas opciones veganas, pedimos el Bowl y un plato de seitán para compartir. El bowl la verdad no se veía nada como la foto y era muy pequeño, pero el fake meat muy rico y las yuquitas fritas también muy buenas. Además la terraza de arriba fue una maravilla. 😍🤩 #Veganuary
