Holss is a must visit in Palomino. Great food, service, and ambiance. They offer breakfast, a menu of the day, and also have varias small plates to share that are fresh, creative, delicious and well priced. Not to mention the vegan and gf desserts!

Pros: Clean food and good service , Beautiful Space , breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts

Cons: ninguna

Bad service.

The waiter did not order my meal. When I asked about it she said I didn’t order. I asked to order again and had to stand in line again. After I ordered my boyfriend already finished his meal (which was very small) and I told here I’m here for a long time and please hurry my dish. There was at least ten dishes the same as mine being given to other people while I wait for more ther An hour and a half for my meal. At the end the food was not even so great and the service was the worst. I would give zero stars if I could. Will not return.

Cons: Expensive for the small portions , Worst service , Disrespect

Hello, we are so sorry to hear about your experience. That is not at all what we are aiming for here at Holss. We absolutely understand your frustration and disappointment - we would feel the same! If you are still in Palomino we would love to invite you and your boyfriend to enjoy a meal *on us* to make up for the bad experience that you had here yesterday.

Also - in respect to the small portions, the menu is designed with "small plates" to be able to share and experience different flavors.

We hope to see you again.

Un tesoro encontrado en Palomino

Era el tipo de comida que le faltaba a Palomino... no comida rápida vegetariana sino nutritiva, fresca y con muchas opciones

Pros: Balanceado, Bajo índice glucemico , Fresco

Tasty in small bites

The food is extremely well prepared, the environment is spacious, open air and fits the local nature ecology. Best to order two separate plates, as the portions are small, but tasty. If you are more than one person, order Chinese style and share among your many plates. I thought the Coliflor Taco was the best. The beverage options are good and many, but make sure you tell them to bring it to you first. My red berry drink only came with the meal when it was too late because I didn't want to mix fruits with the core meals.

beautiful restaurant, amazing food!

This restaurant is so beautiful, the juicy plants, the furniture, the big space, just so pretty! I went here for breakfast after my disappointing vegan breakkie in my hotel. Their "power pancakes" were super filling and honestly delicious, with a lot of good and healthy ingredients.😍 The chai latte was ok, a bit too much cardamom. Staff is very friendly and gives you water for free.😊 It is on the pricier range but ok for what you get. I would come back!

Pros: many vegan options, marked, absolutely beautiful space, yummy, delicious, healthy food

Cons: chai latte has too much cardamom, no lunch/dinner plates, they manage "menu del dia", only open until 3pm

Really good food

We went there for lunch and got the menu of the day which consisted of vegetable rice, a salad, a vegan mayonnaise, a chickpea salad and some fried dough with mushroom and the food was really good. They have a few more vegan options too, most of them are for breakfast. Also, they serve smoothies and vegan cakes but only one cake was available when we went there.

Pros: Many vegan options , Great taste

Cons: Not completely vegan

Great food and service

Our favorite restaurant in Palomino. The place looks new and they have a great variety of very creative fresh and healthy dishes. We normally never visit the same restaurant twice, but 20k for the menu del dia and the lovely food made us return over and over again.

Filling and healthy

I stopped in for lunch and had the offering of the day which was a drink and a bowl with chickpeas, rice, avocado, different veggies. It came with a little cup which I wasn't sure if it was soup or a thin sauce for the bowl but it was delicious. The bowl itself was a tad bland but it was filling and all the ingredients were fresh and healthy.

La mejor comida de Colombia

Comer en Holss es un regalo para el paladar. Todos los platos que preparan son súper sabrosos y nutritivos y una vez lo pruebes querrás comer ahí cada día. El ambiente es relajado y todo el staff super amable. Una mención especial a Aura Delfina, que siempre nos ha atendido con la mayor de las sonrisas y ha aprendido algunas palabras en catalán :D

Pros: Nutritivo, Sabroso, El personal es súper amable

Big portions of healthy food but SLOW service

Big huge portions of food, very beautifully plated. Vegan options. Very filling. They served us coffee that was cold, as in never heated up to begin with. Service was REALLY slow considering there were only 3 other patrons in the establishment. No one was wearing masks which is a huge no for me.

Updated from previous review on 2022-01-18

Pros: Vegan options, Cheap

Cons: Extremely slow service , Cold coffee??!, No masks anywhere

Hello Humaneater, Thanks for coming into the cafe. We´re so sorry the service was slow and your coffee was cold! If you´re still in Palomino we´d love to invite you again for another coffee and a dessert on us.

We understand your stance about masks. We take the safety of our patrons seriously and for this reason our entire staff is vaccinated against COVID.

We hope to see you again soon.

Incredible flavors / Sabores increíbles

It is a simple but very cozy place where you can enjoy the tranquility of nature and a great meal. The taste of their preparations is very good. They could be a completely vegan place, they have great potential.

Es un lugar sencillo pero muy acogedor donde se puede disfrutar de la tranquilidad de la naturaleza y una gran comida. El sazón de sus preparaciones es buenísimo. Podrían ser un lugar completamente vegano si quisieran.

Pros: They avoid the use of plastic / evitan el plástico, Flavor / Sabor, Location and environment / Ubicación

Cons: Lack of variety / Poca variedad, It is not a vegan restaurant / No es vegano :(, Expensive / Costoso

Hello Maobiomech, thank you for your review! We´re so glad that you liked the food. Our daily lunch option will always be vegan, along with the other 80% of our menu. We do offer free range, cruelty free eggs for those guests who are looking for this options but we stay away from all dairy, fish, and meat.

Great discovery thanks to happy cow

The place isn't 100% vegan but the set lunch menu was.
I got juice and a Mexican bowl for 20,000 and was a great value. I haven't had flavorful food in a while and this was a delight.
For dessert I had a cheese less cheesecake for an additional 9,000.
The staff was super nice and the location was very pleasant

Best vegan food in the Caribbean

Holss has changing daily vegan menus, that are regional and the most delicious if you’re looking for vegan food in Palomino. I’ve traveled Colombia for quite some time and I haven’t found a place like this. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and answer all the questions about the contiments and about their project.

Best food in Palomino

I was so happy to find a fully vegan place here in Palomino. The food is truly delicious! They serve breakfast and lunch and have just 1 menu of the day, so no choice, but that's no problem at all as it's all very good what they serve. And it's different everyday, so you can easily go here daily. I wish they also served dinner :)
The restaurant is very quiet and peaceful in a beautiful garden and with lovely staff. I definitely recommend going here, it's my favorite place in Palomino!

Amazing cook magic hands, one and only in Palomino AMAZING

Setting is incredibly peaceful, wholesome, rustic, homely, a beautiful hut structure in a leafy and flowery garden.
Had a long chat with the main Chef, Aura, she makes it ALL by hand, even her tahini for sauces and hummus.
I am a food snob, but her parmesan is as good as mine if not..... (cannot complete sentence)
Everything served here is completely FRESH made every day, no waste and no reheated stuff, not only everything I tried was a mouthgasn, but it is all beyond healthy.
So fregrant and a chilled atmosphere.
Aura is definitely an inspiration, her food, stays simple, yet elaborate in the preparation of it.
One of my favourite finds EVER.

Pros: It's just all so delicious 100%Vegan, 100% fresh , Very reasonably priced , Peaceful place.
