Good clean food but slow service and no masks

This place has vegan healthy food and the presentation is amazing. However, the food is plain and the server sometimes disappears for long periods of time. Last time we came we sat for over 20 minutes watched customers come and leave because nobody was there to even give them a menu. We ended up having to ask somebody in the kitchen, and this is right during the busy brunch time, too.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Quiet

Cons: Stuff don't wear masks, Not entirely vegan, Very slow service

Hi Forager, thank you so much for your feedback! We are glad that the food was good and we apologize about the slow service. Going forward we are going to be more aware of our level of service.

So Satisfyingly Delicious

I've been travelling for almost 3 months in Latin America and this is one of the best meals I've had so far 🙏🏼 delicious combinations of flavours and textures that was so enjoyable, relax chilled out vibe, highly recommend.... found this place by chance as it is showing the wrong location on the map... If you are using Google maps this is the coordinates 11.250379,-73.559088

Best vegan restaurant in North Colombia

We have been here two years ago (i believe it was called Holls back then). They have an amazing menu, we ate here 2 times a day, for 4 days 🤣 definitely one of the best vegan burgers I ever had, but the rest is also heavenly. Fresh springrolls, the Power Pancakes, Taco’s, the Health God.. we loved all of it.

For fellow vegans, almost everything is vegan, they do serve a few dishes with eggs, it’s stated very clearly in the menu.

Much appreciation and gratitude for the wonderful food

Pros: Healthy plantbased food, Friendly staff, Beautiful location

Top quality food

We got four plates to share and they were amazing, this is some of the best food we have had in a long long time. Lovely restaurant with a cool vibe in Palomino. I wish we were staying for longer so we could come back again.

Delicious and wholesome food

The lentil burger and quinoa pancakes were huge, wholesome, and full of flavor. It was a delicious meal we had here. The restaurant is another beautifully designed one and you can also sit outside in the park area.

They seem to pride themselves on being a plant based restaurant and yet still offer the secretions of exploited animals on their menu. That's the only thing that irks me in this town full of hippies. You're clearly good at making vegan food, so why not go full ahimsa and fully vegan?

Really delicious and budget friendly- address is wrong

Ate here a few times in Palomino, really modern and clean open plan restaurant. extremely reasonable prices and really fresh food! Delicious juices, big portions, and high quality food!

The address is wrong as there appears to be 2 different cra 6’s. If you search Gracias Vida on google maps- that’s the correct address

Beautiful and delicious space

This vegan restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with a perfect blend of delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared dishes. The flavors are vibrant and the food is both satisfying and nourishing. The ambiance of the place is equally impressive, with a warm, inviting atmosphere that enhances the overall experience. The restaurant's aesthetic is beautiful, offering a peaceful and cozy setting to enjoy your meal. What truly sets it apart is the outstanding value for money – the prices are very reasonable considering the high quality of both the food and the service. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking great vegan cuisine in a lovely setting without breaking the bank.

Pros: excellent food, healthy and delicious food, Good price

Vegan oasis in Palomino

Holss is a cute plant based cafe / restaurant / coworking / retreat in Palomino, with excellent food and drinks. We had the falafel and tabouleh and the spring rolls and they were superb - really fresh and flavoursome, and great value too. Can highly recommend for veggie / vegan food in Palomino

Second visit

On the second visit we had “the GRINGO” bowel which featured fantastic scrambled tofu!

And also a cauliflower taco which had amazingly seasoned cauliflower would 100% recommend.

They were frequently missing items from menu however

Best veggie place in Palomino by a million miles

Lovely serene setting with lovely quiet co-working space, feels like a little hideaway in the middle of the jungle. Amazing (almost completely) plant based menu (one dish has eggs). The food was so full of flavour and love. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I lost my bracelet one day and they returned it to me immediately. I wish everywhere we travelled had a Holss
😄

I wish there was an option to upload photos retrospectively on this app coz the food looks beautifully presented also

We ate here every day

This place is one of the best places in Colombia to eat vegan for us. I love the whole concept. It’s not only super delicious but also gluten free and affordable. I love that they only use coconut oil or olive oil in their cooking. We were a bit sick, their food really helped us recover quicker. A must visit!!

Pros: Food is delicious, Friendly staff, Super healthy

A lovely restaurant

Super wholesome vibe here with a great atmosphere and vegan options. The farmers orzo and tofu scramble were seriously delish! Also free filtered water. Not the cheapest but you’re paying for the honest effort and great flavour!

Pros: Many vegan options , Free filtered water

Bestes veganes Essen seit Monaten!

Ich bin seit Monaten in Mittel- und Südamerika unterwegs, aber nirgends war es so gut wie hier!
Wir haben einmal die Karte durchprobiert und es schmeckt einfach alles hervorragend!
Tatsächlich solltet ihr etwas Zeit mitbringen, aber das Warten lohnt sich!
Absolut empfehlenswert!

Maybe the best vegan Restaurant in Columbia

After discovering the restaurant I went there every day. The food is healthy and super tasty. The ambience invites you to linger and the staff is super nice. We especially recommend the tofu salad, the gringo (scrambled tofu), the cauliflower taco and the cheese cake 😍

Pros: Everything

Best spot in town

Such a lovely chilled out place. Plenty of people relaxing here whilst reading or working and I can see why.

I ate here twice and the second time was very good, so I’m updating my review. All the food I tried from the regular menu was great, in particular the cauliflower taco, Moroccan salad and baby potatoes.

I originally rated this place 3 stars as I was pretty disappointed with my first meal from the menu del dia. My advice would be to stick to the small plates and you’ll leave happy.

—————
Old review:
The food I ate was average though. The menu del día ($23000) consisted of some ketchup noodles (over-cooked), a few dry falafels, salad and various cooked veg. Unfortunately only the last two parts were good!

Lovely oasis

I kept coming back, because I wanted to try all of their delicious creations and because it is just one of the relaxing places to stay for reading or journaling. Even though the portions were small, my belly and taste buds actually felt very satisfied!

Pros: Wholefoods, Gluten free

Cons: Use eggs, I didn't have time to try everything...
