UPDATE: Only One Vegan Option - Edit
Unfortunately another place with only a QR-menu. I had the Pasta Alfrodo (35.000 COP). It was tasty but I found the portion too small. I wouldn't mind going back to try something else.
Read moreUPDATE: I went here again and they said they are now vegetarian and only have one vegan dish. So I went to Naturalia Cafe instead.

VEGAN ALERT - Edit
It is disappointing that places that claim to be 100% plant-based have ingredients on their menu that are not vegan. Furthermore, they don't be honest with people and don't do anything to change it either. Be careful, Oreos in Colombia are NOT vegan. Don't order the dessert with Oreo and ask the owner to change it. Because he has been talked to in a thousand ways and it seems like he doesn't care. Thanks

Beautiful Asian style dishes - Edit
Excellent food, beautifully presented. Plenty to choose from - I had a couple of starters instead of a main. The Bao are particularly good. They also have some nice cocktails and it's a nice atmosphere. Felt like a special meal out rather than just for necessity.

Decent food and pleasant environment - Edit
I really liked this place. I sat on the terrace which was surrounded by plants. Very friendly waitress. The only thing is it's a bit overpriced.

I don't want Medellin to get a bad name because of these kind of bad restaurants!!! - Edit
For us this was the worst experience in Medellin with Vegan Food. I expected a lot since they charge western prices.
Read moreWay too expensive for the price and quality.
I never write reviews but this time I will because I don't want Medellin to get a bad name because of these kind of bad restaurants!!!
Little or no protein in the food. For example the pasta was creamy but without any nutrients like protein.
The plant-based burger from the Burging King is even healthier. The service was really bad and not all friendly at they are not solution oriented!!!!
When you want to pay a lot for some easy carbohydrates with a whiteout any flavor. This restaurant is recommended.
Check the expensive bill because they make mistakes and they don't give your money back!!!! There are many better vegan restaurants in the city that you can reach with the Indriver App for example.

Meh - Edit
For the high price the flavors just weren't there. Was the most expensive meal we had and also our least favorite in our 3 weeks. We tried five dishes, the bao buns were okay but not the best we've had in Laureles as they were tiny and skimpy on fillings. Ramen had no flavor, I'd skip that! The best dish was the berry muffin dessert.

Disappointing - Edit
The food was not bad but also not good. For a modern restaurant with western prices you would expect much more.
Read moreIn total we tried 5 different dishes and none was satisfying.
I don't know why in colombia people don't manage to make delicious vegan food. Works anywhere else... why not here?
Felt like a rip off even though the staff was very nice.
Pros: Service
Cons: Price, Flavor , Quantity

comida 100% vegana - Edit
Me encantó el menu del dia por 15k, jugo y postre incluido. Además el ambiente es bonito y la camarera fue muy atenta. Seguro que vuelvo a comer acá! 😍El almuerzo me gustó mucho y me dieron fruta como postre, solo que el jugo natural era demasiado aguado, y eso estando en Colombia. 🤔
Read moreUpdate:
Nos dijeron que había menu del día hasta las 3 pero llegamos a las 2.30 y nos dijeron que ya no. Entonces escogí el bowl pero no me gustó tanto, faltaba algo de arroz. Mi novio pidió la pasta y le pareció bien, pero nada especial. El postre con helado de Guanábana estaba rico. Para los precios altos que tiene la comida tendría que ser de mejor calidad y porciones mas grandes.

Sadly - Food Average & Service terrible - Edit
This place looks like it will be amazing. The menu looks exciting, all care has been taken to set the seen. Unfortunately the food is not that great and the service worse. There are much better places to visit.

Attentive service, good food - Edit
We wanted to spend the afternoon in Laureles, so started with lunch at Ina. Although it was a hot day, we sat on the patio -- pleasant and shady, and protected from the street. Everyone who worked there was friendly and helpful, without hovering, and our food came quickly.
Read moreI ordered the Namaste, a bowl with garbanzo beans and a lot of arugula. Unusual and tasty. Everyone else got the fixed price meal, which was about $4 each in US dollars -- not sure why anyone calls that expensive. That meal included tomato soup, pesto pasta, an infusion to drink, and dessert. Of course I sampled everything, all good (though I was glad to have the Namaste).
Too bad it's a long trip from our hotel, as I would love to go back.

10/10 La Comida más deliciosa! - Edit
La comida comida nos encantó! Es muy fina con muchos detalles. La mesera fue muy atenta y amable. La primera vez nos gustó tanto que volvimos otra vez.
Read moreProbamos casi todas las entradas y varios platos fuertes y dos postres.
De las entradas más nos encantó (aunque todas eran buenísimas) la quesarola y los Baos.
De los platos fuertes la pasta fue increíble!
Y de los postres nos gustó mucho la paisacotta.
La comida en total fue tan cremosa que uno no piensa que es vegana. Lo recomiendo mucho!
Sí, es más caro que en otras partes pero vale cada peso.
El ámbito también nos gustó mucho, se sentía como una isla verde en Medellín.
Pros: Comida deliciosa y fina
Cons: Más costoso

Our favorite in Medellín! - Edit
The perfect place for a nice dinner! They offer creative cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks that are not only delicious and well balanced, but also nicely presented. We had the quesarola, which was an amazing taste compilation with cassava cheese and orange. It is quite filling and could be shared with up to 4 people as an entree. The banh mi and the envuelto criollo (like a gourmet tamal) were equally tasty, filling and full of flavors. A special surprise was the cocacake with interesting combinations of taste and textures.
Read moreThe also have a small store with natural cosmetics, books, and some food items.
All in all a great place to spend a nice evening and treat yourself to some vegan yumminess!
Pros: Friendly communicative staff , Extraordinary flavors and combinations , Great cocktails and softdrinks

Good, but there's better around. - Edit
Any plane that is all vegan gets an extra point/ star just for that. With that said, the food was good, not great, and I spent about 3 times what I've spent at other vegan places in the area and enjoyed the food there more.
